Who is Tyler Robinson and what are the details of the murder charge involving Charlie Kirk?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman. Tyler Robinson has been charged with murder in the Wednesday shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. His arrest followed a thirty-three hour manhunt. MPR Zedet Yusuf has more on Robinson.
We know that he's twenty-two years old. Uh we know that he's being held without bail in uh Utah County jail at the moment. And according to what we heard from Governor Cox, um a family friend told investigators that Robinson had, quote, become more political in recent years, also that Robinson didn't like Charlie Kirk. Um but again there is still much more to learn.
That's N.
How is the shooting of Charlie Kirk influencing the national conversation on political violence?
Pierre Sudet Youssef with our report. The shooting has led once again to a discussion about growing political violence in the US. Which has also seen the shooting of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota earlier this year. Experts are also discussing the mental toll shootings can take on those involved in some way with those shootings. Emperor's Marissa Penelosa reports from Utah.
Nathan Pond is a trauma therapist in Oren. He says he's received almost twenty phone calls from people in his community seeking help since the assassination earlier this week. And he and his farner Roni, a trained therapy dog, have been busy. He says the arrest of Tyler Robinson has brought some sense of relief to people in Oren.
What is NATO’s new “Eastern Century” operation and why was it launched after Russian drone incursions?
The fact that they found him, I think everyone's breathing a sigh of relief because that he's not still wandering around because we we didn't know where he was. But he says even with the suspect already in custody, people in Orem are still traumatized and scared. Marisa Penalosa, NPR News, Orem, Utah.
NATO has launched a new operation to better defend its eastern flank against Russia. As Terry Schultz reports, the reinforcements come in response to an incursion of Russian drones into Polish airspace earlier this week.
Calling the violation of Poland's airspace on Wednesday deeply dangerous, NATO Secretary General Mark Ruta announced the launch of Eastern Century.
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 going to do everything we can as we learn those lessons to incorporate them rapidly.
How are recent NATO counter‑drone upgrades expected to protect the alliance’s eastern flank?
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 S P five hundred was down just three points, but the Nasdaq. was up by ninety eight points, ending the week at twenty two thousand one hundred and forty one. You're listening to NPR News. The automaker Stellantis is canceling plans to build an all electric pickup, but it says it will move forward with plans for a plug in hybrid version. As MPR's Camilla Dominowski reports, many automakers are retooling their EV lineup.
Stillantis says that as demand for full size battery electric pickups is slowing in North America, the company is axing plans for an all electric ram. But they're moving forward with a range extended truck.
Why is Stellantis canceling its all‑electric pickup and shifting to a plug‑in hybrid model?
An electric motor turns the wheels, delivering instant torque, while a gas powered generator extends the vehicle's range. The idea is you can plug in or fuel up and drive and tow either way. Hefty federal tax credits for EV buyers are ending very soon. Deals need to be inked by the end of this month to qualify. That's expected to be a blow to demand for EVs, while demand for hybrids is projected to grow. Camila Dominowski, NPR News.
The UN General Assembly voted Friday to support two states a two state solution of the conflict between Israel and Palestinians. The world body endorsed what it's calling the New York Declaration, which sets out a phased plan to end the almost eighty year old conflict. The vote was one hundred and forty two to ten with twelve abstentions.
