Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. In Glendale, Arizona, tens of thousands are gathered to pay their respects to slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. who was assassinated eleven days ago. Politicians, religious leaders, and key members of President Trump's cabinet spoke at the event, lionizing the thirty one year old, including his widow Erica. God bless all of you.

How are NATO and the UN responding to Russian airspace violations over Estonia?
Turning point USA is Kirk's conservative youth mo uh movement and Erica Kirk takes over leadership of that group. She's vowed to continue her husband's legacy. President Trump is among tonight's speaker. He's scheduled to speak soon. Tomorrow the United Nations Security Council is expected to discuss the most recent Russian incursions into NATO airspace. Terry Scholz reports this comes at the request of Estonia, whose airspace was violated last week.
Estonia wants the highest possible international visibility for the latest incursion. On Friday, three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets entered Estonian airspace over the Gulf of Finland and remained there for twelve minutes before being escorted out by Finnish, Swedish, and Italian planes operating as part of NATO's new Eastern Century mission. But the head of the Estonian Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, Marco Mikkelsen, says he fears a Russian plane will have to be shot down by NATO jets before Moscow stops the provocative behavior.
We have to make sure that Russians will understand that this is not excluded.

Annual Household Food Security Report helps nutrition and food policy experts work to end hunger in the US. The Trump administration says it's ending the survey because, quote, redundant, costly, politicized, and extraneous studies do nothing more than fear monger.

Here's Crystal Fitzsimons, president of the Food Research and Access Center.
The National Food Insecurity Survey is a critical reliable data source that shows how many families in America struggle to put food on the table.

What led to the theft and melting of a 3,000‑year‑old Egyptian pharaoh’s bracelet?
