Live from NPR News in Washington, on Corvo Colman, the government of Cuba has...
political dissident after years in jail.
“NPR's Aitor Perel to Reports, this came just as the CIA director flew to Havana,”
for talks. CC avascals Hamorap is a member of the opposition group ladies and white. She was arrested back in the summer of 2021 when she joined thousands in street protests. Avascals said state security agents gave her a choice, "We'll free you," they said, "that you have to go into exile."
Avascals accepted, and on Thursday she flew to Miami, in freedom, she held a press conference. "I don't want to get out of here, I don't want to get out of here." My heart is in pieces, she said, "It stayed with all my brothers, we're still in prison, with those who the government has been unable to silence in their fight against totalitarianism. The US has enacted a de facto oil blockade on Cuba and threatened military action if the government
doesn't make fundamental reforms." It'll prompt up NPR News, Mexico City.
“This also comes as Cuban officials say they've run out of oil, blackouts across the island”
are expected to persist. Ukraine's president and a top United Nations officials say Russia deliberately targeted a UN vehicle in southern Ukraine with attack drones, and P.R.s. Joanna Cassis reports from Keith, the strike took place in a part of Ukraine where Russians hunt civilians with drones. A vehicle carrying staff from the UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs
was hit twice by small first-person-view drones.
No one was injured, Tom Fletcher, the UN's emergency relief coordinator, told a briefing he was awoken in the middle of the night to news of the drone strike. "There are people who were very, very lucky to escape with their lives in what looks like a targeted attack. We are furious about that, and we will demand accountability and full investigations."
“The attack took place in Ukraine's southern Arizona region where Russian troops used drones”
to hump civilians on foot and in vehicles. Ukrainians call this practice the human safari. Joanna Cassis and P.R. News cave. "He was Supreme Court as temporarily overruled a lower court order. That blocked the abortion medication Miffapristone from being sent through the mail anywhere in the country. NPR's Nina Totenberg has more." The High Court reversed a decision by the Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals, which had blocked doctors from sending the pill to women who were seeking to
end their pregnancies in the first trimester even in states that have banned abortion.
The FDA has since 2000 found the drug to be safe and effective. The Supreme Court's action blocking the lower court is only in place until the case is fully litigated in those courts and potentially the Supreme Court. But that is like they did take many months. Conservative justices Thomas and Alito descended. Nina Totenberg and P.R. News, Washington. "You're listening to NPR News from Washington. President Trump told Fox News that Iran
needs to pick between making a deal with the U.S. or, quote, "get annihilated." Oil prices have been rising on the news. The benchmark Brent Crude is trading at nearly $109 a barrel. That is significantly higher than before the war started. Tens of thousands of Israelis have streamed through Jerusalem in an annual ultra-nationalist march. It was marked by racist and anti-Palestinian chance. The event is in celebration
of Israel's capture of East Jerusalem nearly 60 years ago. And P.R.siano Western reports from the old city of Jerusalem. "Borthodox Jewish boys and young men are streaming through the Muslim corridor of the old city. They are chanting religious chants. They're also chanting anti-airub slurs like mayor village burn. And you can see here symbols inspired by Israel's wars and Israel occupying lands throughout the region. Many people are wearing stickers that say
Gaza is ours forever. Some are wearing necklaces with the map of what's called greater Israel, including lands, in today's Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan. Many here are waving flags calling for the building of the Jewish temple at the site of the biblical temples, which is where Islam's al-Aqsa mosque stands today. Several hundred Israeli human rights activists have been in the city trying to protect Palestinians in the streets as young Israelis attack them. Daniel Estrian
NPR News Jerusalem. The National Weather Service is warning of the chance of severe thunderstorms today and tomorrow across parts of the central plains.
