What are the details of the Charlie Kirk murder case and its aftermath?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. The twenty two year old man accused of killing Charlie Kirk is being held without bail in Utah. As Steve Futterman reports, Kirk's widow made her first public comments hours after escorting his body home to Arizona.
It won't. I refuse to let that happen.
Since Tuesday's killing, there have been vitriolic debates in public and on social media between supporters and opponents of Charlie Kirk. The governor of Utah Spencer Cox Friday urged people to take a break from social media. The tone he said must calm down. This
is our moment. Um do we escalate or d do we find an off ramp? It's
a choice. Investigators are still trying to determine if some specific thing triggered Tyler Robinson.
How did the ICE officer shooting incident in Chicago unfold and what were the consequences?
He will be formally charged next week. For MPR News, I'm Steve Federman in Orm, Utah.
The Department of Homeland Security says an ICE officer shot and killed a man in the Chicago area yesterday. A statement says as officers were attempting to detain him, he drove his car at them. One fired at him after being dragged by his vehicle. That officer is in stable condition. Ozzy Lopez lives in the neighborhood and caused the incident tragic.
It it's just crazy that this is what it's getting to. You know, this is um for someone had to flee for their lives and then in the process lost their life and then someone else got hurt in the process where you know nothing doesn't it doesn't look good on either side.
The man who died was identified as a thirty-eight year old cook from Mexico.
Why did a judge block the Trump administration’s new homelessness‑funding conditions?
A judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's new conditions for funding to address homelessness. NPR's Jennifer Ludden reports the changes would restrict money to places that support Trump policies.
At stake is 75 million dollars to build supportive housing. The Federal Housing Agency HUD set new conditions based on things like immigration policies, transgender rights, and homeless camping bans. It would mean service providers in places like California, with the bulk of the country's unhoused population, could not even apply for the money. Two homelessness advocacy groups sued, alleging this is unconstitutional, now a district court judge in Rhode Island has granted a temporary restraining order. HUD did not respond to a request for comment. Homelessness is at a record high. Advocates say a key reason is the severe shortage of affordable housing. Денефер Лутн и Пир Ньюс, Вашингтон.
Президент Трамп НАТО байфу. And to place tariffs on China of at least fifty percent for its purchases.
What tariffs and sanctions is Trump proposing to pressure China and Russia?

You're listening to NPR News in Washington. More than one hundred thousand demonstrators packed the streets of London today for a march organized by anti immigration activists. A smaller counter protest was also held. More than a thousand police officers were there to keep the two groups apart. Even in areas relatively undisturbed by human activity, insect populations are on the decline. According to new research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Scientists say climate change is likely a factor. NPR's Alana Walker.
How are insect populations declining in Colorado mountain meadows and why does it matter?
Reports. In a remote meadow in the Colorado Mountains, researcher Keith Saukman has calculated the density of flying insects over a period of 15 summers. During that time, he found that insect populations dropped by more than 72%. Scientists had attributed previous bug declines to things like boosts in agricultural productivity. But in the pristine Colorado mountain meadows, there wasn't a huge human footprint, and the bug drugs were still dying off. That led him to the conclusion that hotter summer temperatures were the likely culprit. Many insects are vital to human survival. They're pollinators, they prey on the pest insects, and they recycle nutrients in soil. Experts recommend planting trees and flowers and not using insecticides.
