"Line from NPR News in Washington, on Corv.
today in southern Lebanon, saying it will continue attacking.
“There was a ceasefire announced just yesterday in Washington between Israel and Lebanon,”
NPR's Jenerap 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. Israel has below official told NPR that the group officially informed to 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 Katz, meanwhile, said Israel was demanding the creation of what it called a "demilitarized zone" within Lebanon, while being able to continue attacks
against Iran back to his bullet. Jeneraph and Pierre News, Beirut. "This Senate is supposed to vote today on billions of dollars to fund immigration enforcement,
“but some Republicans want to pass an amendment to the measure it would kill a nearly”
1.8 billion dollar fund."
President Trump says the new fund is supposed to compensate people who claim they were targeted by the Justice Department, but in Beirut Sam Gringlas says lawmakers fear the money will compensate people who attack the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. We've already seen two amendments by Republicans to try and block this fund for good, though even if they do attract enough votes to pass it as unclear if Senate rules will allow them
in this unrelated $70 billion measure to fund ICE and border patrol for three years. So this dispute over money to potentially compensate people who storm the Capitol on January 6th may imparrel one of Trump's top priorities funding immigration enforcement. And Beirut Sam Gringlas reporting. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Americans who test positive with Ebola will be allowed
into the U.S. for treatment. This appears to be a reversal from the Trump administration's previous stance of blocking the return of any Americans with Ebola. And Beirut's Fatmateness reports.
“Rubio spoke at a hearing before the Senate appropriations committee on Thursday.”
He reiterated the administration's controversial plan to set up a facility in Kenya to quarantine Americans who've been exposed to Ebola. If they test positive at any time all in that facility, we will remove them from Kenya and send them to the nearest treatment facility either in Europe or in the United States to be treated for Ebola.
Though last week, Rubio had said that no cases of Ebola would be allowed to enter the U.S. Meanwhile, the plan to open a facility in Kenya has sparked protests by Kenyans and a court delayed its opening for three weeks, and PR reached out to the State Department for more clarification, but did not immediately receive a response.

Persepolis published in 2000 was translated into dozens of languages and made into a film in 2007 that won an award at the Cannes Film Festival. It told the story of the fall of the shy of Iran and the arrival of the Ayatollah Komeini

The UK regulator says Google must allow UK news sites to block the company from scraping their new sites for content to support AI features. The decision means Google must give them tools to do this. Google is a financial supporter of NPR. This is NPR.
