"Live from NPR news in Washington, I'm Dan Roman.
In a profanity-filled post on social media, Sunday, President Trump threatened Iran's
“energy production, and transportation infrastructure, and said to Iran must open the”
state of her moods or the U.S. military would. On NBC's meet the press, Congresswoman Madeline Dean from Pennsylvania was asked her reaction to the President's threats about escalating the military attacks against Iran." I don't know why I'm still stunned by what this President does. I don't know why, except maybe that's a sign that he cannot break us with his repeated
indecencies. Meanwhile, a growing number of Democratic lawmakers are questioning the President's mental fitness. Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut said the cabinet needs to consider removing Trump from office under the 25th Amendment, and minority leader Chuck Schumer said the President
is acting like quote, "an unhinged madman and possibly committing war crimes." As the conflict in the Middle East enters its sixth week, anti-war protestor growing in Israel. Demonstrations took place in several cities across that nation over the weekend. ETA Stern reports that police broke up one demonstration in Tel Aviv.

“"Basically, I think this war is going nowhere as much as I'd like to see peace in the Middle”
East and freedom in democracy for Iran. Let's face it. We're not going to get it by this war." Police broke up the protest and made our rest. There is a wartime ban on large gatherings for security reasons, but Israel's Supreme
Court says "hundreds may protest." For NPR News, I'm your diced sir and in Tel Aviv. Investors will get a fresh look at inflation this coming week and PR Scott Horsley reports it's likely to show the fallout from "the wartime spike in energy prices." Gasoline prices have jumped sharply since the US and Israel launched their war against
Iran. It's expected to push the annual inflation rate back above 3%, when the price indexed for March is released on Friday.
“Core inflation, which strips out volatile energy and food prices, is also expected to be”
higher in March than it was in February. The Federal Reserve says President Trump's tariffs have contributed to upward pressure on the price of imported goods. Stubborn inflation is making the central bank cautious about cutting interest rates. The Fed's likely to feel less pressure to lower borrow and cost after Friday's jobs

Ungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban says a cache of powerful explosives were found near
a pipeline in Serbia that carries Russian gas to Hungary. Terry Schultz reports opposition figures are expressing skepticism. Prime Minister Orban says he found out from Serbian President Alexander Vuchich that the explosives were found near the Turks-trained pipeline, which carries Russian natural gas to Turkey in the central Europe.
After a national security council meeting, Orban said it appeared sabotage was intended and said both Hungary and Serbia had boosted security of the routes. He also indirectly blamed Ukraine, saying "Keeve has been trying to cut off Europe from Russian energy." Orban's claim raised eyebrows among political opponents, the Hungarian strongman is facing
his toughest re-election fight in decades in the next weekend's ballad. His chief rival, Peter Magier, said in a statement, "There'd been suspicions something would happen involving the pipeline in a bid to boost Orban's popularity ahead of the vote. For impurities, I'm Terry Schultz." Thousands of workers at the JBS Swift beef processing plant in Greedy, Colorado, who have
