Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Noraram.
President Trump called a news conference at the White House today on the war in Iran. It's still going on. Military chiefs are also present. The president said the entire country could be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night.
The president has given Iran until tomorrow to reopen the straight-of-war moves, or the U.S. will bomb power plants and bridges. The president also praised the weekend operation that rescued a U.S. Airmen, whose plane was shut down Friday in a mountainous region of Iran. We're here today to celebrate the success of one of the largest, most complex, most harrowing
combat searches, I guess you would call it a searching rescue mission. Ever attempted by the military. He said the U.S. military leaves no American behind.
The president criticized the reporter who first had the story of the rescue, threatening
them with jail if they don't reveal their sources.
“Over the weekend, the oil-producing countries of OPEC met to discuss the oil market, and key”
members of that cartel who have voluntarily keeping their oil production down, announced another boost to their output. But that's not likely to provide much relief to oil markets, NPR's Camilla Dominozki reports. An influential group of major state-owned oil producers announced yet another boost to oil production over the weekend.
Formerly, increasing production pushes prices down, but this is not a normal oil market. The war in Iran is blocking significant amounts of exports from the Middle East, and Ukraine's attacks are limiting how much Russia can export. So instead of hanging on OPEC decisions, oil markets are eyeing the situation in the straight of our moves.
Tenships a day are getting through on average. Now, the trade intelligence group Kepler reports, still down sharply from more than a hundred a day pre-war Camilla Dominozki and PR news. The abortion is banned in more than a dozen states, and it's not possible to go to a retail pharmacy and buy a portion of medications over the counter.
“But NPR's Selena Simmons Duffin reports on a new study that suggests that could happen.”
The study in JAMA Internal Medicine looked at whether patients could assess if they would be eligible for taking over the counter abortion medication based on a prototype box. Kind of like a prototype packaging for what an over-the-counter medication abortion package might look like. For Daniel Grossman of UCSF was part of the research team.
The 168 participants first self-assessed their eligibility for the medication, then went
on to see a clinician who did their own assessment. "We found, overall, people were really accurate." Grossman says the work adds to a body of evidence showing these medications are safe and effective enough to be available without a prescription over the counter. Selena Simmons Duffin and PR news.
On Wall Street this hour, prices are moving higher, the Dow Jones industrial averages up 14 points, the S&P is up 5 points. This is NPR News. The astronauts aboard Artemis II have just broken a record. They traveled the farthest from the Earth, even farther than Apollo 13 went, in 1970, 248,655
miles. Within the hour, the crew will begin the fly-around to view the far side of the moon. The Artemis is to return to Earth on Friday, NASA is on track to send astronauts to land on the moon in 2028. The Supreme Court today cleared the way for the dismissal of criminal charges against
longtime Trump allies, Steve Bannon. He served four months in prison for refusing to comply with a congressional investigation into the January 6th right at the Capitol. Michigan and Yukon will face off tonight in the championship of the Men's NCAA Basketball Court.
Michigan's high scoring offense reached at least 90 points in every tournament game this year, winning them all by double digits. But Michigan head coach Dusty May says that means little going against a Yukon team that has won two of the past three titles. They have championship DNA, they're conditioned to win.
If we think any momentum riding in our way was going to take care of Yukon, then we're going to be very disappointed. Yukon's stifling defense sealed its trip to the big game.
The team has never lost a men's national championship contest.
