A wave of Israeli settler attacks this weekend targeted Palestinians in the Israeli occupied West Bank and PR's Daniel Lestrant reports. After the death of an Israeli settler in a car crash with a Palestinian vehicle, Israeli settlers rampaged through several villages in the northern West Bank, some spraying graffiti calling for revenge, according to Palestinian and Israeli officials. Palestinian medics say at least 10 Palestinians were injured by live fire, beatings, stone
throwing, and smoke inhalation from arson. The Israeli military says troops arrested five
Israelis and confiscated weapons from a car. Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians have been on the rise since the Iran war began. A person briefed on the matter, not authorized to speak

A group of veteran voice of America journalist, pursuing Trump administration official Kerry Lake, alleging she put propaganda on its broadcast and censored their reporting. The new lawsuit alleges that Lake has aired broadcasts that extol President Trump, he previously called the network anti-American. And last March, he ordered it to be reduced to the lowest levels allowed. There are only six language services
still broadcasting. It used to be 49. The lawsuit says that the Persian language services broadcasts have promoted the Trump administration's line on Iran. For example, the lawsuit also alleges that reporters have been censored by the agency from mentioning the name of the son of the Shah of Iran, many anti-Ragin protesters had chanted his name.

Researchers say climate change is causing allergy season in the US start sooner and last longer, especially in western states. Here's NPR's Amy Hill. Tens of millions of people in the US suffer from hate fever,
H.E.I.s, and runny nose largely from a tree pollen in the spring, then grass and wheat pollen in later months. The Azman allergy foundation of America says climate change is fueling atmospheric rivers and warmer temperatures and that fuels pollen, resulting in what they call a pollen explosion in the west. This year, Boise Idaho was ranked the worst allergy city followed by San Diego, both jumping more than 90 spots from just last year. In the past, US allergy capitals were concentrated
in the southeast, where warmer weather winters supported more pollen. Now, researchers say overall, pollen season is starting earlier and lasting longer, with higher daily pollen counts. Amy Held and PR News. This is NPR.
