"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Core of a Coleman, Israel issued new w...

today in southern Lebanon, saying it will continue attacking.

There was a ceasefire announced just yesterday in Washington between Israel and Lebanon, and Pierre's Janneroff reports from Beirut." "In addition to the Israeli military's new evacuation warnings, Lebanese state media says Israel also launched multiple artillery and the air strikes into the morning. As Beirut official told NPR that the group officially informed the Lebanese president

that it would not accept any ceasefire that did not begin with the withdrawal of Israeli forces from South Lebanon." The official asked to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak publicly on the issue. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Caps Meanwhile said Israel was demanding the creation

Janneroff and Pierre News, Beirut, the Senate is set to vote today on billions of dollars for immigration enforcement that some Republicans first want an amendment that would kill

a nearly $1.8 billion fund.

It's supposed to compensate people who claim they were targeted by the federal government and Pierre Sam Greenglass is more. "Approving three years of funding for ice and border patrol should have been a cinch, Republicans do not need help from Democrats. But the measure stalled for two weeks amid GOP blowback to the unrelated so-called anti-weaponization

fund. Earlier this week, acting attorney general Todd Blanch promised the fund was dead. Only for President Trump to say he didn't know if the fund was scrapped.

Some Republican senators say the only way to ensure the fund is stopped is to block it by law.

It's not clear if proposed amendments to do that can be added to unrelated immigration funding. Some Republican senators have criticized Trump of sabotaging his own priorities.

New research suggests people with diet related diseases who consume meals designed by dietitians have lower health care costs and fewer hospitalizations. The study is the latest from the Food As Medicine Institute at Thompson University. The analysis includes people with diabetes, heart disease, depression and other conditions who received free meals delivered to their homes about 10 per week.

Each patient met with their registered dietitian who tailored meals to meet their medical needs and food preferences. The study shows participants who received the meals had about 30% fewer hospitalizations and lower health care costs. Researchers say the results show food really can be a form of medicine, several states

are piloting similar, medically tailored meal programs through Medicaid at a time when diet related diseases are a leading cause of death, Alison Aubrey and PR News.
