table. Trump and China's Xi Jinping will need and Beijing's great hall of the people in the city's central Tiananmen Square. And there, Trump says he'll talk about the war with Iran and high energy prices. He's asked for China for help before to unblock the straight-of-war moves.
The two men will also discuss Tiananmen, the Democratic Island China wants to take control of, but which the U.S. has historically sold weapons to to defend against China. China's officials have been signaling their desire for a diplomatic data on the U.S. on trade tariffs, as well as willingness to help pressure Iran towards a ceasefire. Earlier on Wednesday, Beijing welcomed Trump to China with a grand red carpet welcome.

According to an Associated Press race call, political organizer Denise Powell's advancing to the November mid-term elections, and will face Republican-brinker hardening. One year after President Trump's executive order to shelter 6,000 homeless veterans in PR's quo Lawrence reports at Democrats and Republicans, say they've seen little progress. The President's order aimed to create what he called a center for warrior independence
on the sprawling VA campus in West Los Angeles, but at a hearing Republican Congressman Mike Boss said the administration has blocked oversight with non-disclosure agreements. If agreements, planning decisions or delay are hiding behind NDAs, the American taxpayers and our veterans deserve to know how the land is being used and why progress has been so slow. On going construction at the campus has taken decades, the secrecy also worries
LA veterans advocate Rob Reynolds. I want to see President Trump's executive order be successful, but again, we need to get rid of these non-disclosure agreements.

The pause is on hospice and home health organizations that want to be paid by Medicare. It's not a pause for individual Medicare patients who need that care, and it's not a pause
for existing hospice and home health groups. This is the second such moratorium announced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. In February, the agency announced a six-month pause for new suppliers of certain durable medical equipment. The Trump administration has tried a variety of ways to reduce fraud and abuse and federal health programs. The decision for this moratorium earned praise from leading age, a coalition of
thousands of non-profits serving older adults. Selena Simmons-Duffin and Pernus, Washington. This is MPR News. Prosecutors say they plan to retry Alex Murdoch and the deaths of his wife and son, the South Carolina Supreme Court overturn Murdoch's murder convictions Wednesday, but Murdoch won't be leaving prison anytime soon. He is serving a 40-year sentence after pleading guilty to stealing
around $12 million from his clients. The Utah mother who wrote a children's book about
grief following her husband's death will serve life in prison without parole for his murder. A judge in Park City handed down the sentence Wednesday, saying richins is simply too dangerous to ever be free query richins maintains her innocence and plans to appeal the conviction. A team of scientists believes they found evidence of what may have amounted to an ancient root canal in the endotals, our annual reports. Researchers unearthed nearly 60,000-year-old
Neanderthal tooth, a molar in a Siberian cave. It had a deep hole on the biting surface. When the team looked more closely, they noticed microscopic radial grooves that they think may have been artificially created by drilling into the tooth to deal with a cavity, perhaps. Rachel Callisher is a bioarchiologist at UC San Diego who wasn't involved in the research. She's open to the idea that Neanderthals were capable of treating cavities.
"It's certainly believable, but I'm not sure that the evidence that they provide is necessarily the smoking gun." Callisher agrees the hole was likely produced by a stone tool, but she can't be sure it was done intentionally. For NPR News, I'm Ari Daniel. "And I'm Joel Snyder. This is NPR News." If the brain is like a computer, then Kylo Madonna Kenny's was crashing. The room was spinning,
and I was shaking, but only on one side. Doctors couldn't see anything physically wrong with Kylo's brain, with the hardware, so to speak.
