Live from NPR News and Washington, on Corva Coleman, NATO says it's shot down...
Iranian missile that flew into Turkish airspace today.
“This is the third time a missile has been intercepted in or near Turkish airspace in two”
weeks. Dury Baskaran reports from Istanbul, Turkey has remained neutral in the conflict. Sirens rang out early in the morning, at Turkey's Injury League Airbase, Nira Dana. What appeared to be an explosion over head was captured in social media videos. Although a wing of the U.S. Air Force is stationed there, Turkish officials have insisted
that it is not an American base, and that Ankara will not allow Turkish airspace to be used to attack Iran. Responding to the missile and reception, NATO spokesperson, Allison Hart, said NATO remains vigilant and stands firm in its defense of all allies. Friendship News, I'm Jerry Baskaran, Istanbul.
The Pentagon says four of six U.S. crew members aboard a U.S. military refueling plane died when the plane went down in Western Iraq.
A second plane with the refueling plane landed safely.
The Pentagon says the refueling plane was not brought down by either hostile or friendly fire.
“The first French soldier has been killed in the conflict in Iran.”
French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron says others are wounded, and here's Eleanor Beardsley reports. Macron said the soldier died for France during an attack in the air-bale region of Iraq. Pro-Iranian group also warned that French interests in Iraq and the region would be targeted after the arrival of a French aircraft carrier.
Macron sent the aircraft carrier to the eastern Mediterranean to protect France's Gulf allies and European interests after Cyprus was targeted by Iran, Eleanor Beardsley, and Piano's Paris. And Piano's learned the man who drove his truck into a suburban Detroit synagogue yesterday, and relatives who died in Lebanon last week.
They were killed in an Israeli air strike, according to a mayor in the family's town. The attacker of the synagogue was found dead in his vehicle. The FBI is investigating this as terrorism. From Michigan public radio-beenish Ahmed reports, the attacker has rattled those who live nearby.
Holly Roy lives so close to Temple Israel that she heard the sound of a car crashing into the building followed by gunshots. She struggled to explain what happened to our 11-year-old son.
"I just basically told him that they're not good people out there.
I didn't tell him why, because I don't know why." The large synagogue is in Muhammad Hamad's backyard. He says he fears the aggressive language from the U.S. Israel and Iran amidst the current war. Played a role and will only stoke more hate.
“"We all are different, but we can't really make it like that's the only thing we have”
on life is that we're different." Hamad worries as much for other synagogues in the area as he does for the mosque. He attends "Beenish Ahmed West Bloomfield, Michigan." On Wall Street in pre-market trading, Dell futures are higher. This is NPR.
The FBI is investigating another terrorism incident at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, a gunman shot and killed an ROTC instructor. The gunman was found dead after other ROTC students subdued him. The FBI's special agent, Dominique Evans, says shooter Muhammad Bala Jala, had served time in prison for prior efforts to help terrorism.
In 2016, Jala was arrested and pled guilty for attempting to provide material support to ISIL, now known as ISIS. Two other people were wounded in the shooting incident. Levels of physical inactivity worldwide have essentially stayed the same for the last twenty years.
NPR's Jonathan Lambert reports on new research showing nearly one in three adults and eight in 10 children do not yet enough exercise. Studies show that being physically active cuts the risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and combustible health. Countries worldwide have taken note of that research and tried to coax their populations
to move more. But those efforts haven't amounted too much, according to new studies published in Nature Medicine. NPR 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.
