Chapter 2: What details are emerging about the Brown University mass shooting investigation?
The search continues for a suspect in the deadly mass shooting at Brown University. Officials say they're pulling together a growing body of surveillance footage. They hope it will help them identify the person of interest. From Ocean State Media in Providence, Rhode Island, Ben Berkey has more.
Investigators are cobbling together footage from private surveillance systems, ring doorbells, and Teslas in the neighborhood next to Brown's campus. When combined, investigators say this footage is creating a clearer picture of their suspect, a heavyset person in dark clothing who carried a satchel and wore a winter hat and a surgical mask.
Chapter 3: What is the Trump administration's plan for new nuclear reactors?
Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez says he thinks even this limited footage could help someone recognize the person of interest. You want to focus on the body movements, the way the person moves their arms, the body posture. Perez says the suspect arrived in the neighborhood over five hours before the shooting.
Chapter 4: What concerns do safety experts have about the nuclear reactor program?
He and other investigators said they still have no information about a possible motive. For NPR News, I'm Ben Burke in Providence.
Chapter 5: What insights does White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles share about her role?
The Trump administration is racing ahead with a program to build new nuclear reactors by next summer. NPR's Jeff Brumfield reports that has some safety experts worried.
The reactor pilot program is for new reactor designs. A company called Valor Atomics is one of the participants. CEO Isaiah Taylor says it's just what the industry needs.
Private nuclear companies can do R&D again in real hardware with real neutrons and then get ready for commercialization.
But critics like former nuclear regulator Allison McFarland warn the program is moving too quickly.
This is not okay, and this is not going to lead to success.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of FIFA's new ticket pricing for the World Cup?
This is how to have an accident.
The Department of Energy, which runs the program, says safety is a top priority. It hopes they have at least three reactors running by July 4th. Jeff Brumfield, NPR News.
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is rejecting a Vanity Fair magazine profile of her as a, quote, hit piece. Wiles spoke on the record, and very frankly, to reporter Chris Whipple about White House colleagues and internal tensions.
Chapter 7: What is the current status of the Powerball jackpot?
She described President Trump as having an alcoholic's personality. Trump famously does not drink alcohol. Reporter Chris Whipple says that Wiles helped her father, famed sportscaster Pat Summerall, recover from alcoholism.
She'd be the first to tell you, and she told me, that she makes a specialty of difficult men. It began with Pat Summerall. She managed Ron DeSantis' winning gubernatorial campaign in 2018 and now famously, of course, got Donald Trump elected in 2024.
He spoke to NPR's All Things Considered. White House officials have offered strong support for Wiles, the first female White House chief of staff. This is NPR. President Trump will go to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware today. He will witness the dignified transfer of remains of the bodies of two Iowa National Guard troops. They and an American interpreter were killed in Syria last weekend.
Trump also says later tonight he'll give a nationally broadcast address. The White House spokeswoman says this will focus on his accomplishments this year and look ahead to the rest of his term. The global governing body for soccer, FIFA, says it will sell a limited number of $60 tickets for next year's men's World Cup soccer matches.
The move is in response to a backlash from fans, and Perez Rafael Nam explains.
FIFA introduced the cheaper tickets after fans blasted the high prices for the tournament next year. Currently, tickets range from at least $140 for some of the initial games to over $2,000 for the US opening game. And it gets even more expensive for the knockouts, including over $4,000 for the cheapest seats at the final.
But the $60 tickets will only be available for fans of the countries that have qualified. And there will only be a limited amount, fewer than 2% of the available tickets for any particular game. In other words, they won't be easy to get. Raphael Nam, NPR News.
