Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
The FBI says a man who crashed his pickup truck into a Detroit area synagogue earlier
this month was carrying out an attack inspired by Iran-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah. FBI officials say, "I'm on Gonzale, Gonzale made a video before the attack saying he wanted to kill as many of them as I possibly can, Gonzale exchanged gunfire with a security guard before fatally shooting himself, no one among the 150 children in staff were injured." In Iranian missile strike on a base in Saudi Arabia wounded as many as 20 U.S. troops
and PR's Quil Lawrence reports Iran also destroyed two vital U.S. radar planes. A U.S. official not authorized to speak publicly has confirmed to NPR that two E3 century aircraft were damaged in the Iranian missile and drone attack on Friday. The E3 centuries are known as AWACs which stands for airborne warning and control system
“aircraft and are crucial, along with U.S. drones and satellites, to de-conflicting friendly”
aircraft and detecting threats. Iran appears to have targeted the planes precisely where they sat, uncovered at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. Also, the official confirms that the number of wounded service members has grown since the initial reports, including several injuries described as serious.
Quil Lawrence and PR News Russia says one of its oil tankers is now docked in Cuba with emergency fuel. It's the first delivery since the Trump administration imposed a blockade three months ago, and PR's Charles Mains has more. Russia's Ministry of Transportation said the oil tanker and a totally collotekin arrived
in port early Monday, where it was set to unload nearly three quarters of a million
barrels of crude oil. The move amounted to at least a pause in a U.S. fuel embargo against Cuba, buying the island
“a few more weeks before its fuel reserves run dry.”
Over the weekend, President Trump indicated the U.S. would not block the Russian ship's passage, saying one tanker could help the Cuban people survive, but would do little to ease the U.S. pressure on Cuba's Communist government. While the Kremlin has yet to comment directly on the oil delivery, it had signaled Russia intended to provide humanitarian aid to the island, its allies since the days of the Cold
War. Transmains and PR News Moscow. The Trump administration has delayed billions of dollars for projects to protect people in the U.S. from disasters, and PR's Rebecca HRSA reports that includes hurricanes, wildfires, and floods.
The Trump administration canceled the Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA's largest program for funding disaster preparedness projects. Last week, the administration reinstated the program after a federal judge ordered FEMA to do so, but it's unclear how long it will take for the money to start flowing again, which means local governments across the country are waiting.
Andrew Rumbach studies federal disaster policy at the Urban Institute Think Tank, and says "Time is of the essence." "I mean, we're a country full of sitting ducks, unfortunately." Wildfires and hurricanes are most prevalent in the United States in the summer and fall months.
Rebecca HRSA and PR News. This is NPR News. About 100 of the nation's most contaminated toxic waste sites are in areas prone to flooding and wildfires, threatening millions of people in the U.S.
EPA says about 13 million people live within three miles of such super fun sites, 49 of
them in coastal areas are at risk from hot, from sea level rise or hurricanes. Another 47 are in low-lying areas prone to inland flooding, and 31 are in areas at high risk for wildfires. As more coffee and food chains provide protein in their offerings, they're conflicting interpretations of just how much protein we need, and PR's Allison Aubrey reports.
Health Secretary Kennedy tells steak over cake and the new dietary guidelines recommend a higher level of protein intake, but protein needs varied from person to person, since the human body is continuously breaking down old proteins and making new ones. It relies on the amino acids from the food we eat, and the amount we need depends on body weight, age, since protein needs increased with age, and activity level.
Exercise creates a stress on the body, explained Stuart Phillips, a researcher at McMaster University. You eat more protein, you can take more out, you make more new muscle proteins.
“That's why if you exercise regularly, you may need to eat more protein, Allison Aubrey,”
and PR news. A note book with meeting minutes and a ledger are among the Ku Klux clan related items found recently when a Mississippi government office was cleared out, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety disclosed the discovery last week, and WACP officials say it shows how deep clan influence ran, and that it's important to understand so history is not repeated.
