What sparked the latest Israeli airstrike controversy involving Qatar?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korovakolman. The Israeli military says it has conducted an airstrike on Hamas targets, but not in Gaza. Israel hit a building in the capital of Qatar today. Israel says it alone is responsible. The government of Qatar is outraged and has denounced the attack. At least twenty one people were killed in Ukraine today. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is blaming a Russian bombing attack. And Pierre's Polinat Litvinova reports from Kyiv.
Ukrainian authorities shared a video with people crying at the scene of the attack in the village Jarрова.
How did the Ukrainian attack on Jarrovа affect civilians and the president’s response?
The casualties were mostly pensioners. Yereva is only about five miles from the front line. Local officials say after this attack they will reconsider the format of pension's delivery and will arrange it in a safer place. Zelensky called on the US and Europe to respond to the strike, writing on social media quote The Russians continue to destroy lives but avoid new strong sanctions. Polina Litvinova NPR News Kiv
France's Prime Minister has offered his resignation to French President Emmanuel Macron. NPR's Eleanor Beersley reports this comes after the Prime Minister lost a vote of confidence in the French parliament.
Two-thirds of the French Parliament voted against Prime Minister Francois Barou's plans to tackle French debt. The far left and far right say the Parliament vote is a clear rejection of Macron's policies.
Why did France’s Prime Minister resign and what are the parliamentary dynamics?
The parties on opposite ends of the political spectrum control the most seats in Parliament. Both say it's time to name a Prime Minister from one of their camps. French political journalist Thierry Arnaud says Macron will try to appoint a centrist.
But it won't be easy. His approval ratings now is fifteen percent one five. It's as low as he has been, and under these circumstances it's very difficult to be politically in charge of what happens in the country next.
Arnaud says France is in a grey zone of total uncertainty. Eleanor Beardsley in PR News, Paris.
Opponents say they will continue their legal fight against an order by the US Supreme Court. The justices are siding with the Trump administration and will allow immigration and customs enforcement agents to randomly stop people using racial profiling. Armando Goudino is the executive director of the Los Angeles Worker Center Network.
Immigration agents are now being given the power to profile, stop, detain, and arrest people.
What are the implications of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on immigration profiling in Los Angeles?
Because of the color of their skin.
The ruling is limited to the Los Angeles area. LA officials say they fear the tactic could be used on everyone in the US. The Labor Department has issued a report that revises hiring data for the past twelve months ending in March. The report says hiring was overstated by more than 900,000 jobs. That's a little larger than what economists and White House officials had predicted for the revision report. You're listening to NPR News from Washington. News reports say the Prime Minister of Nepal has resigned. This comes after deadly clashes yesterday by young protesters. They were angry over the Nepalese government's temporary ban on social media. That ban has been lifted. In the US, as students return to the classroom, a school shooting in Minneapolis two weeks ago has made gun violence top of mind for many.
How is the $4 billion school‑security industry responding to recent shootings?
Hundreds of school shootings have happened in the US in recent decades, and that's led to the growth of a multi-billion dollar industry, and Pierre's Meg Anderson reports.
The school security industry is now worth as much as $4 billion. That's according to the market research firm Omdia. At the National School Safety Conference this summer, vendors showcased panic buttons, bulletproof whiteboards, body armor, and more. Sarah McNeely is with Sam Medical, a company that sells trauma medical kits. It's an unfortunate circumstance, but being prepared and having these devices in the school. Schools is essential. Gun violence prevention researchers say many products on the market are reactive. They don't prevent shootings from happening. They say that requires restricting access to guns and supporting mental health services for children.
