Why did Israel justify its airstrike on Hamas leaders in Qatar?
Live from NPR News in Washington on Korva Coleman, Israel is defending its airstrike targeting Hamas leaders in Qatar. This follows international condemnation and additional criticism from President Trump. As MPS Daniel Estron reports from Tel Aviv, Hamas says none of its senior leaders were killed in the strike.
Israel's defense minister said Israel would act against its enemies in any place and warned Hamas leaders to disarm and release hostages or else they'd be killed and Gaza will be destroyed. Israel's military today struck a tower near the Gaza city seaport. Israeli ambassador to the US, Yachiah Leiter, told Fox News Israel would continue to target Hamas leaders because of the October seventh, twenty twenty three attack.
Hamas terrorists are on notice. They are going to be eliminated.
Hamas says the strike came just as its leaders were meeting to discuss a US ceasefire proposal for Gaza. President Trump says he's very unhappy about Israel's strike in Qatar, a US ally. France and the UK also condemned the strike. Daniel Estran, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
Poland wants to invoke Article Four of the NATO treaty. It calls on NATO member countries to meet to discuss a potential threat.
What prompted Poland to invoke NATO’s Article 4 after Russian drones entered its airspace?
Several large Russian attack drones flew into Polish airspace today. Polish and NATO aircraft shot down of them. The Trump administration has released a broad strategy on children's health. NPR's Allison Aubrey reports the plan includes a wide range of policy reforms aimed at tackling chronic disease.
Health Secretary Robert Av Kennedy Junior called chronic disease an existential crisis for our country and says the report's one hundred and twenty-eight recommendations are historic and unprecedented. The Make America Healthy Again Commission, led by Kennedy, identified four potential drivers, including poor diet, chemical exposure, lack of physical activity, and chronic stress, as well as over-medicalization, which the commission describes as a concerning trend of over-prescribing medications to children. Former FDA official Susan Mayne says there's a wide agreement on the need for action on chronic disease.
But the plan for how to execute it and the resource requirements are actually going the opposite direction.
She points to cuts in nutrition and the federal health department.
What are the key components of the Trump administration’s new plan to combat chronic disease in children?
Alison Aubrey and
PR News. The Justice Department is going to bring federal charges against the man, it says, stabbed a Ukrainian immigrant to death. This happened on a light rail train in Charlotte, North Carolina last month. US Attorney Russ Ferguson says these charges are in addition to state murder charges.
The maximum penalty for this federal crime is life in prison without parole or the death penalty. Of course, each individual case receives its own sentencing hearing by a federal judge that will decide the sentence based on the individual factors in this case.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the stabbing could lead federal agents to deprive Charlotte of federal money. This is NPR. New Mexico is poised to become the first state in the nation to offer free childcare regardless of income.
How are federal charges being applied in the Charlotte light‑rail stabbing case?
From Member Station KUNM, Taylor Velazquez has more.
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham says the state will officially remove income eligibility requirements from its child care assistance program, which he says will save families on average twelve thousand dollars per child. It's the difference between making it when inflation in this country remains too high, particularly the areas of utilities. And food. The program includes incentives for child care programs that boost pay for entry level staff and commit to being open at least ten hours a day. The new expansion is being implemented through the regulatory process, but will require more funding from the state legislature. For NPR News, I'm Taylor Velazquez in Albuquerque.
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is appealing his case to the Supreme Court. He's been ordered to pay nearly one and a half billion dollars in damages for calling the deadly twenty twelve Sandy Hook school shooting a hoax.
