"Life from NPR News and Washington, I'm Windsor, Johnston.
President Trump heads to Europe for the annual G7 meeting in France on Monday.
“NPR's Honor abearsly report security will be tied and anti-Trump protesters are expected”
in cities around the country." 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 it alone 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 Tet-At-Tet
dinner with him at the Palace of Versailles, Eleanor Beardsley, and Piano's Paris.
“"Boters in Switzerland are going to the polls today to decide on a proposal that would”
limit the country's population to 10 million.
The plan comes from the anti-immigration, right-wing Swiss People's Party. The BBC's Emergen Volks reports the proposal is opposed by the government, business leaders, and all of the other mainstream parties." Switzerland has grown rapidly in the last 25 years from 7.3 million people in 2002 to 9.1 million today, 27 percent of the population is not Swiss.
Opinion polls suggest a very close vote. No country has ever tried to put a hard cap on its population before, and the result in Switzerland will be watched closely, not just in Brussels, but around the world." The BBC's Emergen Volks reporting, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore signs at national parks, saying changing them to fit a political narrative, violates
“Congressional mandates, and P.R.'s Chloe Galmin has more.”
Judge Angel Kelly's Friday ruling orders the administration to restore a slavery exhibit at Independence Park in Philadelphia and signage acknowledging climate change at Fort Sumpter in South Carolina, among other public displays. In March, President Trump ordered the removal or changing of materials that may inappropriately disparage Americans or cast the U.S. in a negative light.
The ruling accuses the administration of censorship and blocks further changes or removals and gives the government 21 days to fully restore all altered or removed content. The ruling is a result of a lawsuit by the National Parks Conservation Association and others, accusing the Trump administration of, quote, "mounting a sustained campaign to erase history and undermined science."
Chloe Valtman, MP on News. You're listening to NPR news from Washington. New research finds a child's neighborhood leaves a lasting imprint on their brain, and P.R.'s John Hamilton has more on a study in the journal's science.
The study included more than 2,300 children who were first examined when they were 9 or 10.
All-head MRI scans and Dr. Nico Dozenbach of Washington St. Louis says the scans revealed a distinct pattern in children who grew up in neighborhoods with lower incomes and fewer social supports. It looks like a brain that has had less sleep and more stress exposure. Presumably because of heart-share living conditions. The study found a wide range of socioeconomic factors that were strongly associated with
differences in brain structure and organization. Meanwhile, a child's IQ or mental health status had relatively weak correlations with measurable brain differences. John Hamilton and P.R. News.
