What are the details of the Utah political violence case and its national implications?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dan Ronan. Twenty two-year-old Tyler Robinson, the suspect in Wednesday's assassination in Utah of right-wing political figure Charlie Kirk, is under arrest after being captured late last night. The shooting is raising concerns nationwide about political violence in the U.S. Utah's Governor Spencer Cox today warned of the dangers of increasing the rhetoric. And said the nation needs to find an off ramp. NPR's Odette Youssef says the governor is imploring Americans to be able to disagree peacefully.
I think what's really important here is that, you know, Cox was referring to an attack on the American experiment, you know, this sort of ideal where we believe that even though we might have a variety of political beliefs and worldviews, we should be able to discuss those with civility and uh not resort to violence.
A judge today ordered Robinson held without bail. Formal charges are expected next week.

In addition to more traditional military capabilities, this effort will also feature elements designed to address the particular challenges associated with the use of drones.
Dutch and Polish fighter jets shot down several of the Russian drones, but NATO's supreme allied commander Europe, US Air Force General Alexis Grinkovich, says the alliance will look for more cost-ефектиve ways to upgrade its counter-drone capabilities.
It's time to take a fresh look at this, and we're gonna do everything we can as we learn those lessons to incorporate them rapidly.
Countries on the eastern flank have been asking NATO for more air defense for years. For NPR News, I'm Terry Schultz in Brussels.
The United States has the most expensive health care in the developed world, and it's about to get more expensive.
Why are employer‑provided health insurance premiums expected to surge next year?
As NPR's Marie Aspen reports, people who get their insurance through their employers are going to pay a lot more for benefits this beginning next year.
More than a hundred and fifty million Americans get their health insurance through their employer, and now the price they pay is about to go way up. Employers who provide health benefits are bracing for the highest cost increase in fifteen years. That's according to a new survey from Mercer, a benefits consultant. The drug companies, hospitals, health insurers, and other for-profit companies that control much of the US healthcare system have been raising prices. That gets passed on to employers, and now most employers told Mercer they're going to pass on some of those price hikes to their workers. That means most workers will see higher paycheck deductions for healthcare premiums next year and higher out of pocket costs.

What new chapels and visitor trends are shaping Notre Dame’s post‑reopening story?
Nine months after reopening from a devastating fire in twenty nineteen, Notre Dame Cathedral has become the most visited monument in France. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports the cathedral is on track to welcome nearly thirteen million visitors in its first year since reopening last December.
The majority of visitors after the French have come from the US, Latin America, and Asia. They're particularly impressed by the cathedral's immaculate white stone, which has been sucked clean of centuries of grime. Chinese visitors have discovered a special surprise. One of the fourteen side chapels around the nave has been renamed in honor of Saint Paul Chen, a Chinese seminarian martyred in eighteen sixty-one, whose body has been kept at Notre Dame since nineteen twenty. A chapel dedicated to Christians of the East has also been introduced, joining existing chapels devoted to the Virgin of Guadalupe and the Virgin of Chancehova from.
