Talks between the US and Iran were scheduled to take place Friday and Switzerland, but they were postponed because it was rarely a tax on Lebanon. Lebanon, Health Ministry, says Israel's military kill at least 47 people, including at least a dozen women in children and airstrikes overnight. For its part, Israel says four of its soldiers were killed in fighting.
We've had reports of a ceasefire between the two, but Israel is still occupying southern Lebanon, something Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who says it will continue to do, and all this seems to be getting in the way of this peace plant. That's NPR's Rob Schmitz reporting from Switzerland. Israel and his blood agreed Friday the stop of flooding on southern Lebanon and US officials
are continuing efforts to begin a new route of peace talks.
“The Obama Presidential Center, open this week in Chicago, bad as NPR's Tamra Key”
reports. It presents an America where the past 10 years never happens.
President Trump isn't a presence in the Obama Presidential Museum, though many of the milestones on the timeline of Obama's two terms displayed in the museum have since been reversed by Trump, and in his speech dedicating the Center, Obama criticized his successor without saying his name. For us to give it now, after all this country's been through, to cynicism and division,
would be a betrayal of our founding audits. Trump, on the other hand, criticizes Obama by name frequently and without prompting. And Obama wouldn't do it. Like at his G7 press conference this week, where he said Obama's name eight times. Tamra Key and PR news, Chicago.
Researchers and other data advocates are calling on the Trump administration to revoke a new ban on the certain type of data privacy protection at the Census Bureau. And PR's Hansi Lowong explains.
“Federal law requires a Census Bureau to keep people anonymous in its statistics.”
The Trump administration has banned one of the main ways of bureau has done that, adding what's known as statistical noise to make certain data fuzzy, especially data about local areas and minority populations who could be easy to identify. An statement, Congress Department spokesperson, Chris and Ikemer, says the indiscriminate use of noise infusion has undermined confidence in the department's products and
cast it down on their integrity. Ikemer did not respond when NPR asked for examples. Beth Jaris of the Association of Public Data Users is concerned the ban comes with little explanation. It takes the public out of the process.
It takes the experts out of the process. This feels very much like a political choice. The Census Bureau took down multiple pages about data privacy protections from its website, Hansi Lowong and Pheonus.
“Gas prices in the U.S. have finally dropped below $4 a gallon on average.”
According to Triple A, a gallon of regular gas, now average is $3.97. The first time should march that it's been that low, but the cost of filling up is still higher than before the U.S. and Israel launched the war with Iran. This is NPR News. Health officials in Africa say the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is continuing
to grow, there are now 896 confirmed cases and more than 200 deaths. A six month old girl was buried Friday after dying from the disease. She's the third child from the same orphanage to die from Ebola in recent weeks. A small public university in southwestern Oregon has cut one fifth of its budget to stay open.
As Jefferson Public Radio's Jane Vaughn reports, this week's vote came as schools across the country are facing shortfalls.
Southern Oregon University's board voted to slash its budget by more than $20 million.
It's the latest financial crisis for the university which just cut $10 million last fall. At a meeting, student body president Sophia Smith urged the board to make sure this plan sticks. You do have an opportunity to stop this prolonging of pain and to actually break our current cycle.
Higher education across the country is facing rising costs and declining enrollment. The recent American Council on Education Survey found 86% of university leaders are worried about their school's long-term financial stability. For NPR News, I'm Jane Vaughn. The U.S. National Soccer team has moved into the knockout round at the World Cup following
