Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
Three months into the war launched by the U.S. and Israel Iran now says it's suspending
“all talks with the U.S. until Israel stops its "aggression" against Lebanon and Gaza.”
President Trump insists talks will continue, as NPR's "the deal else shall she" explains. President Trump had actually seemed like he was confident about talks with Iran, just this morning he posted on true social also that quote, "Iron really wants to make a deal and it will be a good one for the U.S. A. He went on to say, "Just sit back and relax. It
will all work out well in the end. It always does."
But then the semi-efficient Iranian news agency, Tassnim, that has ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said that Iran was going to hold off those talks. From the beginning, Iran has said Israel has to end its invasion of southern Lebanon where it's occupied large swaths of land. And the U.S. and Iran said last week they were actually close to a tentative 60 days. These fire extension and framework to start talks to the end of the war, but the
agreement is still waiting on President Trump's approval. And then this morning, the two countries exchanged fire, with the U.S. striking Iranian radar sites. NPR's "Hideal Al-Shalci" reporting, with rising gas prices, the unpopular Iran war, and affordability concerns. Top of mind, voters say they're unhappy with Republican leadership. NPR's " Stephen Fowler" reports on the party's effort to explain why they should
stay in power. There's roughly five months to go until the November General election, and the GOP message is mixed at best. At a campaign event in Iowa last month, Vice President Bans said the election is actually not any specific question of public policy. But voters disagree. Polls show Americans have soured on multiple Trump administration policies. At a cabinet meeting last week, President Trump touted policies like a prescription
drug savings program as proof his administration was working, but in a defense of the Iran war, he also said, "I don't care about them in terms of the next set of mid-term
“primaries Tuesday include key races in Iowa and California, Stephen Vowler, and P.R. News."”
The number of U.S. children without health insurance is growing fast as NPR's Selena Simmons Duffin explains, a new report found Texas Florida and Georgia accounted for more than half of the increase. Parents know that young children have a lot of doctors' appointments in their first three years. That's part of the reason why health insurance is so important during that time, says Elizabeth Burak, senior research fellow at the Georgetown Center for
Children and Families. "When they don't have access to the care that they need in those early years, they're at higher risk of falling behind developmentally." She co-authored the recent report, which looked at data through 2024. "What we found is we are now at the highest level of uninsurance for children under the age of six and nearly a decade."
There are signs that this trend is only going to get worse. An analysis by Burak's colleagues
found two million fewer children covered by Medicaid now than there were when President Trump
took office. Selena Simmons Duffin and P.R. News, Washington. "You are listening to NPR News." The rise of remote work has made businesses more reluctant to hire young inexperienced workers
“and is the key driver of higher unemployment rates for recent graduates, according to a new”
study. The authors calculate that remote work is responsible for nearly two-thirds of the rise in unemployment rates for young college graduates since the pandemic. Colostrum is the first milk that mammals produce after giving birth, but it's also receiving attention from adults who chug cow colostrum as a supplement. Here's our annual.
Colostrum is loaded with antibodies, proteins, and vitamins that help build up a newborn's immunity and strengthen their gut lining. Preliminary studies suggest it may improve certain forms of inflammatory bowel syndrome, gastroenteritis, and upper respiratory tract infections, as well as stunting in children. But some caution it's too early to conclude its effective.
Alisha Piro is a licensed dietitian nutritionist. "It has one of the lower risks of some of the other products out there, but I just don't think we know enough yet." When it comes to gut health, nutrition scientists recommend focusing on improving one's
overall lifestyle first before resorting to supplements, regular exercise, a wholesome diet,
efficient sleep, and reduce stress. For NPR News, I'm Array Daniel. "Flamingos are flocking to the Venetian Lagoon and record numbers, as ecological efforts restore damaged wetland. The pink birds started appearing in the Italian city in the early 2000's last year, nearly
24,000 flamingos entered in Venice, marking a record high, environmentalists say their arrival signals the Lagoon's health. This is NPR News." The hundreds of thousands of people came to the US as small children as the only home they have ever known.
And although they weren't citizens, many got special protections to keep living and working here. Now, though, they find themselves in legal limbo, as the Trump administration tightens the screws on immigrants. Listen to NPR's co-switch podcast in the NPR app, or wherever you get your podcasts.
