"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Noraram.
President Trump said today he's sending Vice President JD Vance and others to Pakistan
“tomorrow, for talks on ending the war in Iran.”
On social media he posted the U.S. is offering a very fair and reasonable deal, and he hopes they will take it. If not he wrote, the U.S. will knock out every single power plant and every single bridge in Iran, adding in cabs, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
This Don's capital is preparing to host the talks for a second time, Betsy Joel's reports.
Public transport in the city has been suspended, two five-star hotels have been cleared of guests, and movement in and out of the high security red zone has been restricted. Islamabad shut down in a similar fashion ahead of the first round of peace talks that were held in the city last weekend. Those talks ended without a deal.
Pakistan says it has continued to act as a mediator between the U.S. and Iran since then, though its foreign ministry has remained tight-lipped about what negotiations have entailed. For NPR news, I'm Betsy Joel's and Islamabad. Police in Shreveport, Louisiana, are investigating domestic-related shootings early today at two different homes.
“They say eight people were killed and two others were wounded.”
Corpo Chris Bordelon said all of those who died were children. Right now, we have at least ten individuals that are struck by no finalized night in a domestic disturbance. Eight of these individuals are deceased. The ranges of the proceedings are from one user base to the other.
He said some of the children were related to the suspect who died in a police chase after fleeing the scene in a stolen car. He was identified only as an adult male. No officers were hurt. Authorities are asking the public to come forward with pictures, video, or other information
to assist in the investigation. The federal government could lose billions in tax revenue each year, if fewer immigrants filed their taxes. A new analysis finds fear and policy changes will be pushing some people out of the system. NPR's Windsor Johnston reports.
The Yale Budget Lab projects the U.S. could lose nearly $500 billion over the next
10 years of tax violence decline, undocumented immigrants already contribute tens of billions of dollars each year through payroll and income taxes. But economists warned that fear could cause more people to avoid filing their returns or move into off the books work. Director of Policy Analyst Richard Prisonsano says that kind of shift can backfire.
If those folks are worried about being deported or being investigated, they wouldn't have less interaction with the government. So this piece could actually bring less revenue in. The report warns that even a modest drop in participation could lead to significant losses over time.
Windsor Johnston and PR News, Washington. This is NPR News. Scientists all over the world are warning about drug resistant fungi. As NPL is Gary Yvelm annual reports, they say medicine is focused on addressing drug resistant bacteria and viruses and ignoring fungi.
For those with weakened immune systems and infections from fungi such as yeast infections can be severe, these fungi have become more resistant because fungicides used to protect crops, closely resemble anti-fungled drugs used in medical settings and the fungi have adapted. Paul Verway is at the Broadbout University Medical Center in the Netherlands and leads the
group. He says it's hard to develop new anti-fungled medications. The main challenge is that fungi, if you look at the cell structure, how they are built up, it's very similar to the human cell. It's quite difficult to find the drug, which kills the fungus, but does not harm the human
cell. Later this year, the World Health Organization is coming out with a new action plan on anti-microbial resistance. Verway is hoping fungi will be included. His team's call to action appears in Nature Medicine.
Gabriella Emmanuel and PR News. This morning at Cape Canaveral, Florida, there we go. Big water. We're at T-minus all the way back here. Blue Origin launched its new Glen Rocket into low-earth orbit.
Its booster came back to Earth about 10 minutes later.
This is the company's first landing of a reused booster.
The mission is key to Blue Origin's efforts to show it can compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. I'm Nora Ram, NPR News in Washington. What happens when our political party becomes the prism through which we see every other aspect of our identities.
“What we're living through, I think, is really the two parties taking opposite sides on”
