Chapter 2: What recent event involving National Guard members occurred in Washington, D.C.?
President Trump has just announced that one of the two National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C. yesterday has died.
Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, one of the guardsmen that we're talking about, highly respected, young, magnificent person, started service in June of 2023, outstanding in every way. She's just passed away.
20-year-old Beckstrom and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe were shot just two blocks from the White House on Wednesday. An Afghan national is in custody and is facing charges in that attack. He was also shot and is being treated for his injuries. Officials say he entered the U.S. in 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome.
Pope Leo met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the first foreign trip of his papacy today. As NPR's Ruth Sherlock reports, the first American pope pressed Turkey to do more to protect religious minorities.
In his speech, made alongside President Erdogan in a large library in Ankara, Pope Leo said Turkey's grand Ottoman past is both a gift and a responsibility.
You have an important place in both the present and future of the Mediterranean. and of the whole world.
Pope Leo warned that sidelining religious minorities, such as its Christian population, would be an impoverishment. Society is alive if it has a plurality, he said, for what makes a civil society are the bridges that link its people together. Ruth Sherlock, NPR News, Ankara.
South Africa is pushing back against President Trump's claim that he plans to bar the country from next year's G20 summit in Miami. As Kate Bartlett reports, South Africa just hosted this year's meeting of world leaders. The Trump administration had boycotted that gathering.
Trump said on social media that South Africa would not be receiving an invite to the summit event and was unworthy of membership of the G20 altogether. He repeated false claims that the South African government is allowing a, quote, genocide against its white minority. President Ramaphosa said it was regrettable Trump continued to target South Africa based on misinformation and distortions.

Two worshippers died and three others were seriously wounded. Canada's Prime Minister and the Premier of the oil-rich province of Alberta have agreed to work together to build a pipeline to the country's Pacific coast. The hope is to diversify Canada's oil exports beyond the U.S.
The Memorandum of Understanding would also adjust a ban of oil tankers off parts of British Columbia's coast if the pipeline is built. I'm Dale Willman, NPR News.
