Why did Poland invoke Article 4 of the NATO treaty after Russian drones entered its airspace?
Live from NPR News in Washington on Korova Kolman, Poland wants to invoke Article four of the NATO treaty. This calls on NATO member countries to meet to discuss a potential threat.

a flash and then the top deck of the British flagged Alma boat catching fire. This comes just a day after another similar strike on another boat that's carrying many leaders of the movement. The flotilla is made up of dozens of ships and participants from some forty four countries, including climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.
What happened to the Gaza aid flotilla boats after the reported drone strikes in Tunisia?
They say they're determined to deliver aid to Gaza by sea as Israel continues its offensive against Hamas there. Israel has so far not responded to NPR's repeated requests for comment on the reported drone attacks on the boats.

On Wall Street, the Dow is down sixty points. This is NPR. The University of Michigan is partnering with Los Alamos National Laboratory. They intend to build an AI computing facility. But similar projects have prompted backlash from taxpayers.
Why is the University of Michigan’s AI computing facility sparking community backlash over cost and environment?
They're worried about the environmental impact and higher costs. Michigan Public's Eleanor Epperson reports the university is working to answer questions.
The university says it's not the same as a commercial data center. Because the facility would be owned by a public institution and benefit the surrounding community. To address residents' concerns, the university held an information session. Gabrielle Strakowski lives near a proposed location for the facility. She attended the event, but says she still has questions.
It feels a little frustrating. I've I've told everyone here tonight that what I'm seeking is answers, and I'm I'm trying to figure out who can answer those questions, and I feel like I'm just being pointed to another source time and time again.
