What is the UK’s new trade ban on Israeli settlement goods and why does it matter?
Live from NPR News in Washington on Korva Coleman, the British government has announced a trade ban on goods and services from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. These settlements are illegal under international law. And Pierre's Lauren Freyer reports from London, foreign ministers of twelve countries say they are taking similar action.
Israel recently issued tenders for construction of about twelve hundred new housing units in what's called this E1 settlement in the occupied West Bank, which would effectively split in two the territory the Palestinians want to form their future state. The UK says it would destroy the two state solution. In their statement, the twelve foreign ministers also accused Israel of turning a blind eye to settler violence and settlement expansion that Quote undermines the two state solution. That's for Israel and a Palestinian state to exist side by side.

The convention is centered around President Trump and his policies, so much so that he's headlining the program both nights. There are questions about how many Republican candidates will actually attend, especially those in tight races trying to get some distance from an unpopular president. But Alex Triantaphilu, chairman of the Ohio Republican Party, says he isn't worried.

Broadway Theaters plan to dim their lights tonight in honor of Dolly Parton and other entertainers with ties to the great White Way who've recently died. NPR's Chloe Veltman reports the venues will do this simultaneously at six forty five PM Eastern Time.
Marquee lights on all 41 Broadway houses will lower for one minute in remembrance of thirteen individuals who died over the past three months. Dolly Parton, who wrote the Tony nominated score for 9-5 the musical, and co-wrote and produced an upcoming show about her life, is to be commemorated alongside actor Tim Curry, impresario Clive Davis, and musician and actor Glenn Hansard. The list also includes actress Louise Lasser and theatrical manager Seth Marquette, among others.
