Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. Ukrainian and American delegations met in Florida today to discuss how to end Russia's war in Ukraine. Later officials said more work needs to be done. Meanwhile, the Russian bombing continues.
NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports from Kiev. One person was killed and 146 people evacuated from a high-rise building in a Kiev suburb targeted by missiles Sunday morning. Children were among the dozens wounded. The Florida talks will build on recent discussions in Geneva where U.S., Ukrainian, and European representatives worked to revise an original 28-point proposal that has drawn accusations that it was drafted by Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will head to Paris Monday to meet French President Emmanuel Macron. The Europeans are wary that in its haste to make a deal, the Trump administration will try to force Ukraine to make unacceptable concessions that could compromise European security.
Helena Beardsley, NPR News, Kiev.
The House and Senate Armed Services Committee are investigating the deadly military strikes against suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. A person not authorized to speak publicly confirms to NPR... that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a second strike that killed the survivors of an initial attack. The investigation continues into the suspect in last week's shooting of two National Guard members near the White House. One of them died. The suspect is an Afghan national who had worked with the CIA in Afghanistan.
What updates are there on the Ukraine conflict as of November 2025?
He came to this country seeking asylum in 2021. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told ABC's This Week it's hard to properly vet applicants from some countries.
How do we vet someone that comes from Afghanistan or Somalia or Yemen if they don't have a government that we can communicate with that will share information with us? So that is one of the prerogatives and one of the priorities that we're putting on these countries if they want to continue to send us people that want to claim asylum.
The shooting suspect was granted asylum under President Trump earlier this year. The weather is complicating travel this Thanksgiving weekend. More than a foot of snow fell across parts of the Midwest. Chuck Hornbach reports.
The National Weather Service says its office in Sullivan, west of Milwaukee, received nearly 13 inches of snow. The agency says 8 to 12 inches fell in other parts of southern Wisconsin, including at airports in Milwaukee and Madison. Meteorologist Andrew Quigley says the problem is now the snow on the ground.
With gusty northwest winds settling in behind this departing low pressure and some unsettled snowpack that's still loose out there, we do have concerns about blowing and drifting snow.
Airports in the region, including Chicago's O'Hare, are reporting some flight delays. For NPR News, I'm Chuck Quirmbach in Milwaukee.
This is NPR News in Washington. Gavi, the International Vaccine Alliance, is announcing a new deal that will make pediatric malaria vaccines more accessible. As NPR's Gabriela Emanuel reports, the price is dropping from about $4 per dose to just under $3.
In Africa, malaria is one of the top killers of young children. In the last two years, 24 African countries have rolled out new malaria vaccines. Scott Gordon is at Gavi, which helps low-income countries afford vaccines.
This is actually the fastest rollout of a routine childhood immunization in Gavi's 25-year history.
The new price is for the malaria vaccine called R21 Matrix M. It will mean $90 million in savings over the next five years. That will be used to purchase more doses and protect an additional 7 million kids. Gabriela Emanuel, NPR News.
Investigators in Hong Kong found more bodies today in burnt-down buildings in a high-rise apartment complex. This brings to 146 the number of deaths in Wednesday's fire.
