Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
Federal and state law enforcement agencies are still investigating the lead-up to the car attack on a suburban Detroit synagogue.
“Authorities say the alleged gunman died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head during”
a gunfight with security. Russ McNamara from Member Station WDDT reports, some politicians are blaming in flammatory rhetoric. One member of the security team at Temple Israel and West Bloomfield, Township was injured in Thursdays attack.
Speaking to reporters, Michigan, U.S. Senator Alyssa Sacken, said anti-Semitism from any
source can never be ignored.
Whether anti-Semitism is coming from the left or the right, whether it's coming from some group that you like or don't like, you have a responsibility to call it out. The FBI rated the Dearborn Heights home of the attacker, Amen Gazali, naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon, NPR has learned some of his family was killed by Israeli air strikes in southern Lebanon last week.
For NPR News, I'm Russ McNamara in Detroit. Since Israel and the U.S. launched air strikes on Iran, progress on President Trump's cease-fire in Gaza has backslid. If here's Ayurveda Trolley reports, less humanitarian aid is now entering Gaza as Israel
“tightens its grip on the territory, Israel has sealed shut all but one of Gaza's crossings.”
That includes closure of the Rafa'a crossing with Egypt that had just opened last month to allow some people to return and some wounded to leave. NPR's reporter in Gaza and Asbabah says people are feeling squeezed. "Prices are high, money is tight and safety remains fragile.
The sky is never quiet, drones hum constantly, helicopters battle and since the Iran
USA war began, we have seen Iran and missiles pass through our atmosphere towards to live." According to Israel's own count, some 200 trucks a day enter Gaza now through a single crossing. That is a fraction of what the U.N. says is needed and what mediators say was agreed on
in the cease-fire. Ayyapatra Ali, M.P. News, Dubai. Cuba says it's in the middle of negotiations with the United States. If here's it or parole to reports, this comes amid a U.S. blockade of oil. During an address on state television, Cuban president Miguel de Ascanela admitted for the
first time that the Cuban government was in direct negotiations with the U.S. government.
“The Ascanela said the talks were at the initial stages.”
He said Cuba was taking a peaceful approach toward finding solutions of, quote, "I lateral differences."
He did not give any details on the substance of the negotiations.
Cuba hasn't received any oil for three months now. It means the island has experienced rolling blackouts, leaving hospitals and other public institutions on the brink of collapse. President Trump has said he expects the Cuban government to collapse or negotiate a transition like the one in Venezuela.
It's a problem. And here news. Madagabu. Venezuela. Wall Street, lower by the closing bell, you're listening to NPR News from Washington.
The federal judge has blocked the Justice Department's criminal probe into Fed chair Jerome Powell, saying the actions were intended to pressure him to resign, or lower interest rates. Judge James Bozberg also says there was no evidence the Powell committed any crime other than quote "displeasing President Trump."
He was the attorney-geny in Piero issued two subpoenas over whether Powell lied to a Senate committee about renovations to the Central Bank. This says Republican Senator Tom Tillis vowed to continue a block of Kevin Worsh, President Trump's nominee to replace Powell until the attempt to prosecute Powell ends. The Justice Department says it will appeal.
Two guidelines for managing cholesterol from the American Heart Association calls for earlier treatment. And Piero's Alice and Aubrey reports the guidelines also call for additional screening tests to evaluate risks. When you get your cholesterol checked, results include LDL cholesterol, typically known as
bad cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol, the good kind. The new guidelines recommend that adults also test lipoprotein A, explains Leslie Cho, a preventive cardiologist at Cleveland Clinic. People protein A is a causal risk factor, which means it can greatly increase the risk of heart disease.
It's genetic and doesn't change much, so Cho says adults should have a tested once, and if it's elevated, doctors may recommend more aggressive steps to prevent heart disease, such as starting medications early. Overall, the guidelines call for a more aggressive approach to prevention that will lead to more people being treated earlier.
