What happened in the South Korean‑Georgia battery plant raid and how are the detainees being released?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. South Korean officials say they've reached a deal for the release of more than three hundred people who were detained in an ice raid at a Georgia Hyundai electric vehicle battery plant last week. As Molly Samuel from Member Station WABE reports, the facility is one of many major Korean investments in the state.
The plant is a joint venture between Korean companies Hyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution. It's under construction near a Hyundai EV and hybrid car factory that began production last year. Georgia has long running business ties to South Korea, and the state maintains an office in Seoul. Four hundred seventy five people were detained in the raid, most of them South Korean nationals. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the month long investigation is the biggest in agency history. A South Korean official said they plan to push to review visa policies, then the country is chartering a plane to bring the Korean workers home. For NPR News, I'm Molly Samuel in Atlanta.
How did President Trump’s appearance at the US Open affect the tennis championship atmosphere?
At the US Open in New York City, Carlos Alcaraz beat Yannick Sinner, claiming his second trophy at Flushing Meadows and sixth overall as a major. Meanwhile, President Trump attended the event, receiving a mix of boos and cheers from the crowd. It's the first time a sitting president has visited the tennis championship in a quarter century, and Pierce Luke Garrett is traveling with the president.
The stadium cameras cut to President Trump during the national anthem. Trump stood saluting in the Rolex sponsored box, and the crowds erupted. Throughout the championship match, President Trump appeared on the stadium video screens, always sparking a mixed roar from the crowd.
Why did Israel’s Supreme Court order an end to the reduced‑food policy for Palestinian prisoners?
That's in contrast to celebrities including Danny DeVito and Bruce Springsteen, who received resounding cheers.
Israel's Supreme Court has ordered an end to the policy of drastically reducing food to Palestinian prisoners. The policy has lasted since the Hamas attack in October of twenty twenty three, and peers Daniel Estran has more from Tel Aviv.
After the Hamas attack, Israel's far-right national security minister ordered prisons to reduce Palestinian inmates' caloric intake of food. Israeli rights groups argued in court this amounts to starvation based on testimonies of released detainees. Israel currently detains a record high number of Palestinian inmates for alleged security offenses, according to prison figures. The court's ruling says Israeli prisons must provide inmates with adequate food to maintain their health. The judges said it was a matter of humanity and that Israeli food policies worsened the suffering of Israeli hostages in Gaza.

Israel's National Security Minister criticized the ruling and said prisoners would continue to face the minimal conditions required by law. Daniel Estron, NPR News, Tel Aviv.

What does new research reveal about ADHD medication use in preschool‑aged children and recommended treatment approaches?
Japan's prime minister Shigeru Ishiba is resigning following growing calls from his own party to take responsibility for a historic defeat in July's parliamentary election. Ishaba, who's been in office for less than a year, resisted growing demands from within that party for more than a month. This comes a day before his Liberal Democratic Party was to decide whether to hold an early leadership election, a virtual no confidence motion against him, if approved. A study finds that a majority of preschool age children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were prescribed medications. But as MPR's Retoach Hattergy reports, medications should not be the first line of treatment for young children with ADHD.
Researchers looked at the electronic health records at pediatric clinics affiliated with eight academic institutions across the country. Of the more than seven hundred thousand three to five year olds seen at these clinics between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty three. 1.4% were diagnosed with ADHD. Nearly 70% of those kids were prescribed medications before they turned seven, and more than forty percent got their prescriptions within thirty days of their diagnosis.
