Who was Charlie Kirk and what happened after his shooting death?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. The suspect in the shooting death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk is due in court this week. Harla Robinson is being held without bond. Meanwhile, Kirk Kirk's Church in Phoenix held its first Sunday service since his death last week, and Pierre Sarah Ventry has more.
Sunday morning's church service at Dream City Church in Phoenix emphasized the impact of Kirk's life. And the ways in which this church community, which has strong links to Kirk's Turning Point USA, plans to continue his legacy. There was an open forum for people to ask questions, and conservative commentator Brandon Tatum was also in attendance. These cowards. These cowards thaw.
How is Dream City Church honoring Charlie Kirk’s legacy and what events are planned?
that they could end or eliminate the movement, they just made it bigger. They just made it stronger. A large service to remember Charlie Kirk is planned next week at the stadium where the Arizona Cardinals play. Sarah Ventry and PR News.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Israel today for a two day visit, less than a week after Israel bombed Doha, killing Hamas negotiators, and ahead of a conference at the UN next week, where major countries plan to recognize a Palestinian state. And Piers Kerry Khan has more.
At Rubio's first stop, the Jewish holy side of the Western Wall, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked the Secretary of State for the visit, which he said was a testament to the strength of the US Israel alliance.
It's as strong and as durable as these stones of the Western Wall that we just touched.
Before departing the US, Rubio reiterated President Trump's displeasure with Israel's attack in Qatar, a strategic ally.
What is Secretary of State Marco Rubio doing in Israel and how does it affect U.S.–Israel relations?
Obviously, we're not happy about it, he said. He added talks with Israel would be about moving forward and would not include Israel's latest offensive in Gaza City, where the military has ordered the metropolis cleared and has been leveling high rises and collapsing a large number of buildings.

The Trump administration's new report Make Our Children Healthy Again leaves something out, nicotine. And Pierazuki Naguchi reports the report out last week doesn't mention tobacco or smoking.
Anti-smoking advocates are dismayed at the lack of discussion of smoking and nicotine addiction in the list of recommendations for addressing chronic disease. Brian King until recently headed the Food and Drug Administration's Tobacco Control Division and is now an executive at the Center for Tobacco Free Kids.
Attempting to combat chronic disease without tobacco control is like a attempting a triathlon without a bicycle.
Why did the Trump administration’s health report omit nicotine and what are experts saying?
You're you're destined for failure before leaving the starting line.
Although tobacco use has dropped dramatically among youth, it remains the top cause of preventable death in the US. Yukinaguchi NPR
