For NPR News, I'm Russ McNamara in Detroit. There was also a shooting today on the campus of old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia. School police say there were three victims affiliated with ODU. One person is died.
Authority say the shooter is also dead, although the cause of death remains uncertain. Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mustafa Khamini, has made his first public statement since his father, Ayatollah Al-Khamini, was killed on the first day of the year. The U.S. is real war against Iran. The younger Hamini vows to avenge quote "martars" to continue tax on U.S. bases in the region,
and to keep its blockade on the straight-of-war moves, a critical global route for oil
shipments. NPR's Greg Myri says Iranian state media deliver company statement. We didn't see the new leader, Mustafa Khamini, and we didn't hear his voice. This statement was read on Iranian state media in his name.
“So one of the key questions is what condition is he in?”
He was believed to be injured in the Israeli air strike on day one of the war that killed the former Supreme Leader, his father, as well as his mother, his wife, and his son? NPR's Greg Myri. The war is continuing to upen the oil market and unsettled investors in the stock market, more from NPR as Maria Aspen.
The price of oil again rose above a hundred dollars a barrel, signalling more pain ahead at the gas pump for consumers. That's intensifying investor worries about inflation and the broader economy. It's also raising questions about how soon the Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates again.
The Fed typically lowers the cost of borrowing as inflation cools, but it's still above the Fed's target rate of 2%. Now the war and its impact on oil prices threatened to heat it up again. Another general is among the businesses warning that higher prices will hurt its customers. It shares foul after the discount retailer told investors to expect slower sales growth
this year. Maria Aspen and PR news. It's NPR. The mortgage finance giant Freddie Mac is reporting that rates have gone up again this week. It's reporting that the fixed rate on a 30-year loan ticked up to 6.1% from 6% last week.
Meanwhile, bipartisan legislation designed to bring down the price of homes easily past the U.S. Senate, however, may not make it through the house as is. Calls for restrictions on how many single-family homes large investors can own, but otherwise fewer regulations and an expansion on how housing dollars can be used to build rentals and affordable homes.
The House of Representatives pass its own bipartisan legislation to address affordability concerns.
Levels of physical inactivity worldwide have basically stayed the same the last 20 years
according to new research and PR as Jonathan Lambert reports nearly one in three adults and eight in 10 children don't get enough exercise. Studies show that being physically active cuts the risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and con boost mental health. Countries worldwide have taken note of that research and tried to coax their populations
to move more, but those efforts haven't amounted to much according to new studies published in nature, medicine. Deborah Salvo is a researcher at UT Austin. Despite really good science, great interventions, good ideas for policy, the levels of physical inactivity globally haven't really improved.
While many governmental agencies do some work to boost physical activity, the researchers say it's usually not the focus of any single one. To get more people moving, they suggest that perhaps one agency in a country should take responsibility, Jonathan Lambert and PR news. This is NPR.
