Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
Iran has published images of parts of what it says was the missile that struck a girl's
school, killing 175 students in staff.
“And PR's Jeff Brumfield says the parts appear to be from an American weapon.”
The parts were placed on a table in front of the destroyed school. They were stamped with the names of American defense contractors and appeared to come from a Tomahawk cruise missile. A rounding media have also published a brief video showing what looks like a Tomahawk striking another building near the school at a press conference Monday.
President Trump incorrectly said that Iran had Tomahawk's. Whether it's Iran or somebody else, the fact that a Tomahawk at Tomahawk is very generic and sold to other countries. In fact, only a few countries in the world have Tomahawk's and the only one fighting
in this war is the United States.
Jeff Brumfield and PR News. Lebanese officials say at least 700,000 people have been displaced in the country as they flee Israeli air strikes. The majority are from southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of
“Beirut, which are considered strongholds of the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah.”
Lebanon got dragged into the war after Hezbollah launched rockets into northern Israel and PR to deal all shalti reports. Volunteers set up white tents in the concourse of the sports city football stadium on the outskirts of Beirut, where at least 750 people are sheltering now. 45-year-old Maysoon Man says she had to escape the Burjul Barajna neighborhood in the southern
suburbs of Beirut five days ago. She says the night she and her husband and son had to flee was a nightmare. "I'm just a body without a soul now," she said. "There was so much bombing I don't know if my house is still standing." Man said her family had to sleep on the streets before finding their way to the stadium.
He's really a military intensified. It's a tax on-south Lebanon, and troops pushed further into Lebanese territory this week. Heedil al-Shalchi and PR news, Beirut.
“Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson says he and President Trump are in lock step in their”
plans to pass stricter federal voting requirements. Trump says the bill he calls the "Save America Act" is this year's number one priority and PR's Claudia Grisalli reports. Speaker Johnson said he'll keep working to defend President Trump's top priority this year despite setbacks in the Senate. He reiterated the message Trump delivered Monday
to House Republicans at their retreat taking place at his deraille resort. "And the president is laser focused on that and we are as well and we'll continue to message it and do everything we can and let's say branch to try to get it done." Outside of a potential deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security, Trump says he will not sign any other legislation to law until the "Save Act" is sent to his desk.
The bill is stuck in the GOP-led Senate where Democrats are blocking passage. For now, Senate Majority Leader John Thun is shutting down calls from the hard right to end that blockade with the so-called "talking filibuster." Claudia Deseles, and Beirut News. This is NPR News from Washington.
China says its exports rose nearly 22 percent in the first two months of the year, even though
it's trade with the U.S. contracted, surging exports of computer chips and cars helped drive the increase and higher shipments to other regions, including Europe and Latin America, helped offset a drop in exports to the U.S. More than 43 million people in the U.S. have some college credit but no degree from Member Station GPH and Boston KirkCare, pets that report some schools are trying to
re-engage them. The number of stop-out students has been growing in the U.S. According to data from the National Student Clearing House. At the same time, the population of graduating high school seniors is projected to shrink. 18 years after the Great Recession, when U.S. berthrates plummeted.
Jonathan Gowan is an engagement director at Complete College America, an advocacy group that's trying to close the college completion gap. He says re-enrolling stop-out students could help solve an existential threat to higher education. If institutions don't get this right, re-engaging the some college no degree population, then we will lose our institutions.
Local colleges and universities are partnering with National Organizations to reconnect with stop-out students. For NPR News, I'm KirkCare Peza in Boston. Thousands of long dormant flowers are blooming through the desert soil of death Valley National Park in California, Nevada, transforming the barren landscape into carpets of purple and
gold. The super bloom is a result of steady rain in the fall and winter, but experts say it won't last long. U.S. stocks held steady today, this is NPR News from Washington.
