Chapter 4: How is the EU supporting Ukraine financially amidst the ongoing conflict?
Just dealing with people, people who kind of just say and don't know what's going on, not sure of their future.

The investigation into the motive in the shooting at Brown University that left two people dead and several other injured continues. The suspect, 48-year-old Claudio Valente, was found dead in a storage unit in New Hampshire last night. Authorities say he took his own life and they believe he acted alone. He's also suspected of shooting and killing an MIT professor in Massachusetts.
Valente was a former Brown student and a Portuguese national. There's relief in Ukraine after the EU approved loaning the country more than $100 billion over the next two years. And here's Joanna Kikisa's reports.
Chapter 5: What are the findings of the report on children using AI chatbots?
The loan is backed by the EU's own budget instead of frozen Russian central bank assets.
EU leaders failed to agree on using these immobilized Russian assets as collateral for a loan to Ukraine, fearing legal retribution from the Kremlin. Though the loan backed by the EU budget could be more costly, European leaders celebrated it as a win. So did Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who says it shows Russia that Kyiv has strong support from its allies.
The loan will cover two-thirds of Ukraine's financial and military needs over the next two years. Without the loan, Zelensky had warned that Ukraine would have to drastically cut its domestic drone production, leaving the country more vulnerable to Russian attacks. Joanna Kakisis, NPR News, Kyiv.

A new report finds children and teenagers are turning to AI chatbots for companionship, emotional support and role-playing. Ampere's Ritu Chatterjee has more on the study from the digital security company Aura.
When kids use artificial intelligence tools, 42% of the time it's for companionship. where kids engage with a chatbot for an ongoing conversation. And frequently, nearly 40% of the time, those conversations involve violent role-playing. Scott Collins is chief medical officer at Aura.
It is role-play that is interaction about harming somebody else, physically hurting them, torturing them, fighting them, intimidating.
Chapter 7: What is the latest on Wall Street's trading performance?
And a lot of it gets pretty graphic.
These conversations also tend to be longer, he says, compared to when they use AI for help with homework. Among 13 to 17-year-olds, kids who spend more time online are also more stressed out by their digital lives. Ritu Chatterjee, NPR News.
