What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Israel this weekend to discuss Israel's military strike this week in Qatar. The attack targeted Hamas leaders who had gathered for peace negotiations. Rubio spoke with reporters about expectations for his trip as he boarded a plane at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington, D.C.
What is Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying about the Israel‑Qatar strike?
I'm going to get a much better understanding of what their plans are moving forward. What's happened has happened. Obviously, we were not happy about it. The president was not happy about it. Now we need to move forward and figure out what comes next.
Israel's attack on Qatar sparked international condemnation.
Why are prosecutors in Utah filing murder charges against Tyler Robinson for Charlie Kirk’s death?
State prosecutors in Utah say they plan to file aggravated murder charges against the man who fatally shot conservative activist Charlie Kirk. NPR's Bobby Allen reports.
Utah authorities say 22 year old Tyler Robinson will be facing murder, firearm and other charges as early as Tuesday. Robinson has been detained in a county jail since he turned himself over to authorities in connection with the assassination of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. The Department of Justice is expected to file separate federal charges against Robinson. President Trump has called Kirk's death a dark moment for America. Speculation has swirled online about Robinson's exact motivation and political ideology, but so far investigators have not elaborated beyond saying Robinson knew Kirk was going to be in Utah and that he thought Kirk was full of hate and spreading hate. A memorial and funeral service for Kirk has been set for later this month in Arizona.
Bobby Allen, NPR News, Salt Lake City.
Some Baltimore residents are feeling uneasy tonight as Maryland Governor Wes Moore says he'll send state police into the city to patrol high-risk areas. The move comes after President Trump threatened to send National Guard troops into the city.
How is Baltimore responding to Governor Wes Moore’s decision to send state police to high‑risk areas?
Scott Massione from member station WYPR has more. Baltimore
is experiencing record low crime levels and is on track for the lowest homicide rate in half a century. However, residents will soon see state police patrolling streets and possible checkpoints set up in neighborhoods. Here's Donald Gresham, a community leader. You feel
like you're on a plantation. That's what you're going to feel like because you walk around, don't know when they're going to pull you up. They say they're there to protect us, but they never have been there to protect us. In the community, it's going to be a place where they're going to really feel like
it's not home. Some residents fear the focus will be on unnecessary arrests rather than directing resources toward health care and education. For NPR News, I'm Scott Mascione in
Baltimore.
What triggered Poland’s preventive air operation and airport shutdown in Lublin?
Officials in Warsaw say Polish planes and allied aircraft were deployed on Saturday in what they called a preventive operation. The officials say there was a threat of drone strikes in neighboring areas of Ukraine. The alert lasted for at least two hours and shut down the airport in the Polish city of Lublin. The heightened tensions come after a number of Russian drones crossed into Poland on Wednesday. I'm Dale Willman and you're listening to NPR News. A march through London on Saturday grew violent toward the end as a small group of people began to throw bottles and cans at police. Officials say at least 26 officers were injured and 25 people were arrested. The march was organized by far-right activist Tommy Robinson, who is known for his nationalist views.
Why is the UK’s House of Lords debating a bill to legalize assisted dying?
He said the march was in support of free speech. Britain's House of Lords has begun debate on what would be the UK's first bill legalizing assisted dying. As Vicki Barker reports from London, the bill would allow terminally ill adults with fewer than six months to live to apply for an assisted death.
The former Conservative Prime Minister, Theresa May, was among those worried about the precedent legalization could set.
Because there is a risk that legalising assisted dying reinforces the dangerous notion that some lives are less worth living than others.
