Densions between Senate Republicans and President Trump is nearing a breaking point, Trump's venting frustration that the chamber is refusing to pass a strict voter ID law. And Piersand Greenglass has more.

director of national intelligence before Trump's more controversial acting pick could take over. Then, in the middle of the night, Trump fired off a post blowing up that plan, Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska later compared it to sled dogs.

He bowl of cases continued to rise in eastern Congo with 900 confirmed infections in 234 deaths as health workers struggle to trace contacts and isolate people and at living stone reports. Congo says health workers are tracing 72% of the contacts of Ebola patients, but aid workers
disagreed. In a Tory province, the epicenter of the outbreak, many people are avoiding hospital and deaths are occurring in communities unrecorded. Some senior aid workers said that they're only managing to trace about 40% of contacts. The Tories Health System has been devastated by decades of conflict and neglect.

The government of Norway will severely limit the use of artificial intelligence in its schools. Tories Health Reports, declining test scores, have led the Nordic country to rethink how
it teaches children. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Garstori announced a near-total ban on generative AI and elementary schools.
“Being research shows that its uncritical use increases the risk of skipping important”
stages of learning. Older students between 14 and 16 can begin to use AI tools under teacher supervision according to the new plan. And those age 17 to 19 should be taught how to use AI appropriately in order to incorporate it into their further education and work, concluding that over reliance on technology contributed
to the country's declining test scores, Norway banned smartphones from schools in 2024. And Parliament is due to consider legislation this year making the use of social media illegal for children under age 16. For empirical news, I'm Terry Shultz.
