Why did Poland ask NATO to invoke Article IV of the treaty?
Live from NPR News in Washington, on Korva Kolman, Poland has asked NATO to invoke Article IV of the NATO treaty. This calls on member nations to consult if there's a potential threat to one of the nations. This comes after nearly twenty Russian attack drones flew into Polish airspace last night. Some of them were shot down by Polish and NATO aircraft. НАТО секретарний генерал Марк Рута се НАТО офішился Поленс реквест.

A White House official says President Trump plans to speak with the President of Poland later today.
What did the White House say about President Trump’s call with the Polish president?
The official spoke on the condition of anonymity ahead of the phone call. Officials in Qatar are condemning Israel's attack on a building in their capital, Doha. Israel was targeting top Hamas leaders. Президен Трамп сейши морозив today. And Piers Mara Lyason reports.
President Trump said he wasn't surprised by the Israeli attack on Qatar, a US ally, even though he didn't get a heads up from Israel.
I'm not thrilled about the whole situation. But uh I will say this we want the hostages back, but we are not thrilled about the way that went down.
How did Israel’s strike on a building in Doha spark controversy?
The president spoke outside of Joe's Stone Crab, a fancy restaurant just a few blocks from the White House. He usually eats at home, but he said the rare outing showed how safe the city had become since he took over DC's police department. He was joined by Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and other officials. Mara Lyason, NPR News.
Public media plays a crucial role in alerting people when there's an emergency, such as a wildfire or hurricane. But public broadcasters warn that millions of dollars in federal funding needed to upgrade their emergency alert systems are in jeopardy. NPR's Michael Copley explains.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has run the program, but it's closing after Congressional Republicans rescinded allocated funding. CPB says more than ninety six million dollars in emergency alert grants won't be dispersed unless the Trump administration takes over the program.
Why is federal funding for public‑media emergency alerts in jeopardy?
The Office of Management and Budget says grants will continue going to emergency alert infrastructure. But stations waiting to be repaid for investments they already made have doubts about the program's future. Michael Copley, NPR News.
On Wall Street, the Dow is down nearly two hundred twenty points this hour. The NASDAQ is up more than one hundred. This is NPR. The Senate Banking Committee has voted to advance the nomination of Stephen Myron to hold a temporary seat as a governor of the U.S. Federal Reserve. The vote was on party lines.
What is the significance of Stephen Myron’s temporary Federal Reserve governor nomination?
GOP lawmakers hope Myron can be confirmed by the Senate before next week's Fed meeting. The Fed will decide whether to change interest rates. A Department of Homeland Security agency says more than thirty three million registered voters have been checked with a newly revamped citizenship verification tool. NPR's Jude Jaffee block reports there are still unsanswered questions about the tool's accuracy and data security.
SAVE is a federal data system that has long been used to verify immigration status. In recent months, U.S. citizenship and immigration services rapidly made several changes, including linking Save to Social Security Administration data. Now the agency says Save can verify the citizenship of most U.S. born citizens, too.
How reliable is the SAVE system for verifying voter citizenship and immigration status?
Some Republican-led states are running their voter rolls through SAVE, amounting to almost a sixth of all registered voters. So far. But some election officials from both parties are hesitating or refusing to use the tool, citing outstanding questions, including how the federal government can use the voter data that states upload.
