Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
President Trump heads to Europe tomorrow night for the annual G7 meeting in France.
“NPR's Eleanor Bearsley reports security will be tight in nearby Geneva, Switzerland, where”
protests against Trump are expected. Aside from protesters, there are worries about the meeting itself where officials have said it's difficult to manage Trump. He's known to impose his time-frame and mood on such international gatherings. Trump has recently disparaged the leaders of many of America's European allies who will
be among those grappling with two major wars, skyrocketing, energy prices, and a slumping world economy. The Europeans know they must still deal with Trump as they're not ready to go at a loan without support from the U.S. President Macron at one time a top Trump whisperer has not given up. He's hoping President Trump will stay long enough to enjoy a post-summit
TETOTET dinner with him at the Palace of Versailles, Eleanor Bearsley and Piano's Paris.
“President Trump's name has been removed from the facade of the John F. Kennedy Center”
for the Performing Arts on Washington after federal courts denied late stage appeals. NPR's Chloe Veltman has more. The Department of Justice filed an notice of compliance with the order to remove Trump's name on Saturday. The take down occurred two weeks after a federal judge ruled the addition of Trump's name last December was illegal and required congressional approval. Mallory
Miller is a co-founder of Hands Off the Arts. The activism group has spent months campaigning for the removal of Trump's name. "Well, this surely won't be the last time that Mr. Trump's overreach into our institutions is defeated. It was the first time that his name was taken off of something and I'm so proud that Hands Off the Arts got to be a part of that."
The Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment. Chloe Veltman and Piano use.
“The Justice Department has given its approval for allies of President Trump to merge”
two Hollywood Titans, Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery, and here's David Folk and
Flick Hassmore. The $111 billion deal would put Paramount pictures and Warner Brothers studios
under the same roof, same for HBO and Paramount+ CBS and CNN. The Justice Department cited the major streamers that's Netflix Amazon and Apple and saying competition wouldn't be hurt in Hollywood and neither would consumers. Trump has said he wants the deal to go through so CNN would be run like CBS news. The new editor-in-chief at CBS has had a rocky go. Her brief tenure has been marked by crisis and accusations
of ideological bias. Trump's pick as head of the Federal Communications Commission is signaled he's likely to approve the deal too, but authorities in the UK and Europe are still reviewing it, and several democratic states attorneys general are investigating. They may sue to block the merger. David Folk and Flick and PR news. "You're listening to NPR news for Washington."
In California, a fire at Medline Medical Equipment Warehouse in Tracy, about an hour south of Sacramento, continues, as authorities warn people who are sensitive to smoke to stay indoors. The fire has been burning for three days, and fire officials say the area will remain smoky, and that the fire could still burn for days more. Medline says all personnel are accounted for. The fire is affecting around 1,000 workers and disrupted the transport
of medical supplies from a major distribution hub to healthcare providers in northern California. The structure of the building is being assessed and there's no word on a cause yet. In Florida, law enforcement often searches rivers and swaps to find missing people, but as Kathy Carter for Member Station WD-USF and Tampa reports a crime-solving order is now helping police solve cold cases. In Sarasota County, Florida, my cancel runs through training
exercises with splash and Asian small-cloth order. "Splash, here we go. Yeah, I hear you talking. Oh, you want some more fish." Turns out, orders are exceptionally suited for underwater recovery work. They can stay submerged for up to eight minutes. "All it sees is butt going as he's heading out, and then he comes back and he grabs my mask to let me know that he's found something." Hatsil has been training rescue dogs for decades. He got the idea to train an order
in Thailand where fishermen use them to hurt fish into nets. Splash is trained to detect the odor of human remains. So far, he's been on 30 missions with 9 successful lines. For NPR News, I'm Kathy Carter in Tampa. "And I'm Janine Herbst NPR News in Washington." "This is our glass. On this American life, when they mean like, it's a good mystery. Sometimes about really big things. But most times, the little mysteries are the best. Our lost and found
is currently filled with pants. I don't know. I've never seen this happen. This is true."
