Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Giles Snyder.
What visa revocation did the State Department announce regarding Colombia's president?
The State Department says it will revoke the visa of Colombia's president after he called for U.S. soldiers to disobey President Trump. NPR's Amy Held reports he was speaking at a pro-Palestinian rally in New York City on Friday.
In a post on social media, the State Department called the actions of Colombian President Gustavo Petro reckless and incendiary. He was in New York City for the U.N. General Assembly. Online video shows him addressing protesters outside with a megaphone.
What are the implications of Netanyahu's upcoming meeting with President Trump?
He says, I ask all soldiers in the U.S. Army not to point their guns at humanity. Disobey Trump's order. Petro has been a vocal critic of Israel's war in Gaza and President Trump. In March, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced anyone engaging in activities counter to U.S.
How has the FAA changed its authority regarding Boeing's 737 MAX jets?
national interest or foreign policy would have their visas revoked. On social media Saturday, Petro said he's back in Bogota. and does not care he no longer has a visa, writing, humanity must be free all over the world. Amy Held, NPR News.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected at the White House to meet with President Trump on Monday. Yesterday, he told the U.N. General Assembly that Israel must finish the job against Hamas.
What concerns were raised about CTE in relation to a high-profile NFL incident?
Dozens of delegates walked out as he began speaking. Federal regulators giving Boeing more authority to perform the final safety checks on new 737 MAX jets. NPR's Joel Rose reports that regulators revoked that authority after a pair of deadly crashes.
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.

He left behind notes saying he might have CTE and for medical examiners to analyze his brain. This is NPR. Officials in Denmark are reporting more unexplained drone activity. The defense ministry says unidentified drones were spotted near military installations overnight. They followed drone sightings earlier this week that temporarily shut down Danish airports.
How is Meta changing its ad policy for UK users and what are the legal implications?
There have also been possible sightings in Germany, Norway, and Lithuania, leading to security concerns in northern Europe. British customers of Facebook and Instagram are being offered the option of paying to go ad-free. Vicki Barker reports from London.
Parent company Meta says UK users will be offered subscriptions starting at about $4 a month to go ad-free on their smartphones or PCs. That follows its out-of-court settlement earlier this year of a lawsuit brought by a British privacy campaigner who argued that Meta's use of her personal data breached UK data protection laws. Her argument was backed by British regulators, who have now pronounced themselves pleased with Meta's decision. But a similar arrangement, already in place in Europe, is being challenged by regulators there. They argue customers shouldn't have to pay to enjoy their fundamental right to data protection.
