Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. Much of the world has now recognized Palestine as a state, But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel won't let the U.N., quote, shove a terror state down our throats. NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports on the Israeli leader's defiant U.N. speech.
Please be seated. After a walkout by many diplomats in the U.N. hall, Netanyahu chastised countries for recognizing a Palestinian state. He calls it a reward for terrorism by Hamas.
Giving the Palestinians a state one mile from Jerusalem after October 7th is like giving al-Qaeda a state one mile from New York City after September 11th. This is sheer madness. It's insane.
What was Netanyahu's response to U.N. recognition of Palestine at the U.N. General Assembly?
And we won't do it.
While U.S. and Israeli diplomats cheered his message, President Trump has made clear that he opposes Israeli plans to annex the West Bank, which Palestinians want as a future state. Netanyahu is set to meet Trump on Monday. Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, New York.
More and more women are freezing their eggs to preserve fertility. The practice has increased fourfold over the past 10 years. A new study finds that most have not returned to use them. NPR's Ping Huang reports.
The paper, published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, finds that more than 16,000 women are cryogenically freezing their eggs each year. The process helps extend the possibility of having children later on. But researcher Dr. Lindsay Croner, a fertility specialist at UCLA Geffen School of Medicine, says the return rate is low.
We found, you know, a low percentage of people came back. It was lower than I was expecting. And the people that did come back tended to be older at the time they froze their eggs.
Just 6% of women came back within five to seven years to thaw the eggs, add sperm, and create embryos. To Kroner, this indicates that many who pursue this option consider it a long-term backup plan. More healthy young people have been freezing their eggs, and they may try other options for conceiving before using them. Ping Huang, NPR News.
How did diplomats and leaders react to Netanyahu's U.N. speech and what were the key comparisons he used?
Federal regulators are giving Boeing more authority to perform the final safety checks on new 737 MAX jets. NPR's Joel Rose reports.
The Federal Aviation Administration will once again allow Boeing to issue airworthiness certificates for some of its 737 MAX planes. The FAA revoked that authority in 2019 after the crashes of two 737 MAX jets that killed 346 people. The move will not immediately lead to the delivery of more planes, but it is a sign of the FAA's growing confidence that Boeing has improved its quality and safety practices. The FAA capped production of the 737 MAX at 38 jets per month after a mid-air panel blowout last year. The agency says Boeing has not yet sought to increase that production rate and that FAA safety inspectors would still have to sign off before it does. Joel Rose, NPR News, Washington.
Stocks closed up slightly today. This is NPR. European defense ministers have agreed to develop a drone wall along their borders with Russia and Ukraine to better detect, track and intercept drones violating Europe's airspace. The decision comes after Russian drones crossed into European airspace in recent weeks. Russia denies that anything was done on purpose. EU officials say the drone shield could take a year to build. The Union for Canada's Postal Service has declared an immediate nationwide strike. As Dan Karpinchuk reports, it comes just hours after the federal government announced sweeping changes, including the closing of some post offices and the eventual end of door-to-door delivery.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says all of its members are walking off the job in response to Ottawa's attack on the Postal Service and its workers. Canada Post has been losing money and Federal Procurement Minister Joel Lightbound says big changes are needed.
