The U.S. military says that shot down multiple Iranian missiles and derones aimed at
“Gulf countries and commercial ships in the straight-up were moves.”
NPR's Greg Myri reports the strikes have ramped up in recent days, despite an official ceasefire.
Iran's revolutionary guard corps said it fired drones on four oil tankers trying to pass
through the straight-of-harm moves without permission from Iran. U.S. central command said the U.S. shot down the drones and also hit military radar sites on Iran's west coast and Keshem Island, just off the coast. Iran said it then fired a total of seven missiles at a U.S. air base in Kuwait and a U.S. naval base in Bahrain.
Central command said six of the missiles were shot down and the seventh failed to reach its target. In recent days, the U.S. and Iran have engaged in some of the heaviest exchanges of fire since the ceasefire was declared two months ago. Greg Myri MPR news Ukrainian drones attacked targets in Russia's Imperial former capital St. Petersburg overnight.
This occurred on the final day of an international economic forum, attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Defense Secretary Pete Higgs-Seth is at the Normandy American Cemetery for the anniversary”
of the 1944 D day landings. He said the freedom one by the Allied troops could be temporary if leaders failed to defend it. Today, as we face an increasingly complex threat environment, we apply the lessons from 82 years ago, learned on these beaches.
Strong allies, each fully committed to doing their part, win wars. The men buried here fought in a warfighting alliance where every partner brought its full measure of industry, courage, and sacrifice. He said freedom is not free. A majority of Americans use artificial intelligence to research who are curious about, according
to a Quinnipiac poll, but the Bank of America Institute found that only 3% of American households in February paid to use AI. NPR's Stephen Bassaha has more. Subscribing to AI platforms like chatGBT gets you more advanced features and fewer restrictions.
But open AI's head of chatGBT, Nick Turley plans for their always to be a free version.
“"It's very important to us that if we can't offer something for free, we will.”
So the free product isn't going anywhere." Turley did not make that promise for chatGBT's eventual successor, likely an AI more like a personal assistant and more expensive to run. And those capabilities might be so advanced that it requires us to charge for them. While the number of paid AI users in February was small, it did grow 10% from a year earlier.
Stephen Bassaha and PR News. This is NPR News. President Trump has issued a pardon to former congressman Stephen Byer. The Indiana Republican had served nearly two years in prison for insider trading. Twitter trades made after he left office and was working as a consultant and a lobbyist.
He has maintained his innocence and says the pardon corrects a politically motivated prosecution. Byer was a house prosecutor during the 1998 impeachment trial of Democratic President Bill Clinton. He said it was horrific to be imprisoned for a crime that he did not commit. Rescuers have called off his search for two people, thought to be trapped in a cave
in a house, worse than in conditions made it unsafe for restaurants to continue from type A, the uncamens unbrowned league has more. The decision to hold the search for the two remaining victims ends more than two weeks of international rescue efforts. Rescuers say the risks of continuing the search now outweigh the small chances of successfully
rescuing the missing men. Five or rescued last week, but two are still thought to be trapped inside the flooded cave. Or seven men had climbed into the cave in central Louss looking for gold and were trapped when a flash flood blocked their exit. Fan Pian use, I'm young comes in Ruby, in Taipei.
A pair of endangered red pandas from China arrived at the Taipei Zoo today.
In the first animal exchange between China and Taiwan in more than 10 years, in return Taipei
