What new tech and nuclear cooperation agreement did Trump and Starmer announce?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Kristen Wright. President Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer have signed an agreement to move toward expanding cooperation between the two countries on technology and nuclear energy. NPR's Daniel Kurtzleben reports Trump is on the second day of his state visit to the UK and arrived at Starmer's country home today.
Trump was greeted at Checkers by Starmer and his wife, Lady Starmer. Multiple American CEOs have come along for the trip. US tech companies, including Google and Microsoft, have said they plan billions of dollars in investments in the UK. Other key issues the two leaders are expected to speak about include the tariffs Trump has imposed on UK goods, as well as the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine. Danielle Kurzleben and PR News checkers.
The US is trying to revive Gaza ceasefire talks.
How are the United States and Qatar trying to revive Gaza cease‑fire talks?
This follows Israel's strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar, a key mediator in previous talks. NPR's Daniel Estran has more from Tel Aviv.
Hamas leaders were in Qatar discussing President Trump's ceasefire proposal when Israeli warplanes targeted them. No senior Hamas leaders appear to have been killed, but the strike enraged Qatar, which said it was reassessing its mediation role as a consequence. Now the U.S. is looking for a way to revive Gaza's ceasefire talks and is seeking an Israeli gesture to bring the Qataris back to the negotiating table. That's according to a Person briefed on the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive issue. Since ceasefire talks collapsed, Israel has launched a major ground offensive in Gaza City.
Why is the Turning Point USA “American Comeback Tour” significant after Charlie Kirk’s death?
Daniel Estran, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
Turning Point USA continues its American Comeback Tour today at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. It's the tour's first event held following the killing of its CEO and founder, conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Colorado Public Radio's Tony Gorman reports.
There will be a visual for Kirk at Canvas Stadium in place of events that were previously scheduled. Some CSU students, like Nick Nye, say they remain concerned with security after the conservative activist was gunned down on the campus of Utah Valley University last week. I think it is an eye opener and it shows a lot of potential for like scary things to happen. So yeah, I think it is concerning. But I also don't feel like there's much chance that it gets better for security.
What changes are CDC vaccine advisers considering for the childhood immunization schedule?
The university officials said some student groups and external organizations had planned unrelated memorials, but they were asked to move their activities to the stadium. For NPR News, I'm Tony Gorman in Denver.
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is expected on Capitol Hill next hour. The House Oversight Committee is holding a hearing over the federal government's oversight of the district. You're listening to NPR News in Washington. A new study finds vitamin B three supplements may help prevent a recurrence of skin cancer. As NPR's Alison Aubrey reports, the study included more than thirty three thousand veterans who'd been treated for the disease.
Doctors who perform skin cancer surgeries often recommend nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3. Small studies have shown it can help prevent non-melanoma skin cancers.
How might the new advisory panel’s composition affect future vaccine recommendations?
The new research adds to the evidence, says study author Lee Wheelis of Vanderbilt University.
A fifty-three percent reduction in the risk of skin cancers among patients taking nicotinamide.
B3 supplements are widely available over the counter. The participants took 500 milligrams twice a day for at least 30 days. Allison Aubrey and
PR News. CDC vaccine advisors begin meeting today in Atlanta to consider possible changes to the childhood vaccine schedule. The committee is expected to vote on whether newborns should still get vaccinated for hepatitis B at birth. Or whether to delay the immunization. The panel may also consider whether to stop giving the MMRV combination vaccine before H4 to protect against measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox.
What did the recent study reveal about vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) and skin‑cancer prevention?
