"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton, U.
on social media that it began what it called self-defense strikes against Iran, and
“PR's Quil Lawrence reports this is in response to Iran downing a U.S. Apache helicopter."”
"Sentcom said it was responding to what President Trump has confirmed was in Iranian strike that downed the U.S. attack helicopter. Sentcom called the mission, "Proportional Response to Unjustified Iranian Aggression," though the two countries are at war. The helicopter crew members are in stable condition after being picked up in the waters
of the Strait of Hormuz by an unmanned American rescue boat.
The first time the U.S. has used a drone for this purpose.
President Trump has repeatedly claimed that the U.S. and Iran are close to a negotiated end to the conflict, but the Strait remains effectively shut, driving up gas and fertiliser prices worldwide." Quil Lawrence and PR News President Trump's restrictive immigration policies are already playing a role in this
year's FIFA World Cup tournament, at least one referee and one team staff member have been denied entry to the U.S., and dozens of fans have been denied travel visas, and PR's Sergio Martinez-Baltran reports.
“Omar Arten was one of the 52-Sener referees selected to officiate the FIFA World Cup.”
Arten, a decorated referee, is from Somalia. On Saturday, he landed at the Miami International Airport where customs and border protection agents interrogated him. CP says Arten was determined to be inadmissible due to varying concerns and was denied entry.
CPP did not say what those concerns were, and Arten did not respond to NPR's request
for comment. This is the latest example of Trump's immigration policies potentially affecting the World Cup, something policy experts and soccer fans have voiced concerns about. Sergio Martinez-Baltran and PR News Austin, Texas. A trust fund that helps cover the cost of social security benefits is expected to run out
of money in less than seven years, and PR's Scott Horsey reports in less Congress acts before then, retirees and their family members will see an automatic cut in their monthly payments. Trustees who oversee the social security funds say they expected to run short a cash by 2032, three months sooner than they were projecting last year.
“That means lawmakers have a little less time to make changes, or tens of millions of seniors”
will face an automatic benefit cut of 22%.
The basic challenge facing social security is demographic, baby boomers, retiring in large
numbers, and there are fewer young people paying into the system for each person drawing a monthly payment. Congress could pass the problem by raising taxes, cutting benefits, or some combination of the two. The program's finances have gotten a little shake here over the last year, as a result
of fallen birth rates, reduced immigration, and the GOP tax cut past last summer. Scott Horsey and PR News, Washington.

A new report warns there is no amount of alcohol consumption that is beneficial to a person's health, the study renews debate over what federal guidelines should tell Americans and PR's Yuki Noguchi reports.
This latest alcohol intake and health study warns there's no benefit to drinking. Even two drinks per day raises the risk of alcohol-related premature death the study says. It's one of two reports the U.S. government has looked to for its influential U.S. dietary guidelines. Based on its findings, the report published in the journal of studies on alcohol and drugs
advocates tighter limits of up to one drink a day. Current recommendations allow drinking quote in moderation. Meanwhile, the alcohol industry favors a competing national academy of sciences report, which last December said moderate consumption of alcohol lowered mortality compared to not drinking.
