resume between the U.S. and Iran. "This is the Prime Minister. Why should I interview him? I'm just gonna save him. I don't worry.
Good. Pakistan and Qatar are helping mediate the talks, which come in intentions over the straight of more moves and renewed fighting involving Hezbollah and Southern Lebanon. Iranian, U.S. and regional officials are hoping to advance a tender agreement." The Russian appointed governor of occupied Crimea is suspending fuel sales to the public
and commercial businesses. The BBC's Nick Vick reports the move is in response to growing Ukrainian attacks on supply lines and infrastructure. Moscow appointed officials in occupied Crimea had already introduced limits on the sale of
“fuel, but this appears to be the most significant restrictions so far.”
Petra will be reserved for the military and for government agencies only. Ukraine's drone strikes are having an impact beyond Crimea. This week there was a major attack on a refinery in Moscow, for which the Kremlin has promised to retaliate. The BBC's Nick Vick reporting from Kiev.
Researchers and other data advocates are calling on the Trump administration to revoke a new ban on a certain type of data privacy protection at the Census Bureau. And PR's Hansi Lowong reports. Federal law requires a sense of spirit 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. And statement, Commerce Department spokesperson Chris and Ikemer says the indiscriminate use of noise infusion has undermined confidence in the department's products and casted doubt 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, NPR News California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in response to a massive warehouse fire in Los Angeles. Fire Chief Jamie Moore says tons of food inside the building are starting to decompose. If you can imagine the food inside your refrigerator with no power, no refrigerant, starting
to rot, and then opening up your refrigerator door, that's about where we are now. So once we get this fire put out, the challenge that we have before us is the removal of all that product. It officials say the current conditions inside the warehouse are complicating efforts to bring the blaze under control.
This is NPR. Publio visited the birthplace of mother Francis Cabrini this weekend. Megan Williams reports the American pontiff used the visit to Northern Italy to highlight the Catholic Church's duty to care for migrants. After praying at her tomb, Publio said Cabrini's mission to serve migrants could not
be more relevant today. Cabrini became famous in the U.S. for helping Italian immigrants.
Before becoming the first American saint, now the patron saint of migrants.
Leo has clashed with the Trump administration over its migrant crackdown. On July 4th, the first U.S. Pope will visit the Italian island of Lampedusa, where many migrants risk their lives to reach. In Italy, both visits are being read as quiet, but clear signals that migration is core to Leo's papacy.
For NPR news, I'm Megan Williams and Rome. The measles outbreak in Utah is approaching the one-year mark with more than 680 cases reported since it began last June. The outbreak has spread across much of the state, hitting several under vaccinated communities, especially hard.
Health officials say the pace of new infections has slowed in recent weeks, but they're concerned about another surge when schools reopen this fall. The outbreak is one of the largest in the country and could factor into whether the United States keeps its measles elimination status. 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 hands, I don't know what I've never seen
this happen, this is true. Mysteries have every size each week, this American life, wherever you get your podcasts.
