President Trump rang the opening bell for the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq
“from the oval office in a historic first.”
He's marking the start of trading for Trump accounts, the federal government's new investment savings program for children. The President explained from the oval office that he asked soccer's governing body to review its decision to suspend U.S. men's team's star, player, Valorant Balagant for their World Cup game tonight.
FIFA reversed the suspension allowing the American to play after hearing from Trump and P.R.'s Becky Sullivan has more. "It wasn't a clear obvious foul of the contact looked very much unintentional, and in fact the referee on the field didn't even give a foul, initially the red card came only after a video replay review of the play in slow motion, and then also similar contact between
players and other games in this tournament have gone unpunished, and yet this got a red card and you know clearly there's questions, but FIFA has not been transparent about answering them this whole process by which they have reached this result.
“I think raises a lot of questions, so it's just been tremendously messy."”
Belgium has appealed FIFA's decision. China says its military has successfully test launched a long-range missile from a nuclear submarine in the Pacific, and P.R.'s Jennifer Pack reports from Beijing. The missile was launched at noon Beijing time, and carried a dummy warhead, according to China's official San Juan News Agency.
This is the second time China has conducted a missile test in the Pacific since 2024.
China says it had notified relevant countries in advance. Still Australia's foreign minister Penny Wong told local media that the move lacked transparency and reassurance. While officials in New Zealand and Japan said they have grave concerns, China says the test launch was routine, and part of the Navy's annual training.
It says the missile was not directed against any other countries or target. Jennifer Pack and B.R. News Beijing. New research finds many online sites are prescribing GLP-1 obesity drugs like OZEMPIC with limited oversight. Often sites don't require patients to interact with a clinician, and P.R.S. Maria Gaudoy
reports. In the study, a researcher posing as a patient went to 49 different websites that offered GLP-1 medications.
“All of the sites relied primarily on patient-reported questionnaires that often missed important”
medical history. For example, a little more than half asked about a history of eating disorders, and only about a third asked for clinical data like cholesterol, blood glucose, and blood pressure. Just 26% of sites required an actual video visit to get a prescription. In some cases, websites issued prescriptions, even though the patient failed to submit required
photos. Researchers say limited clinical engagement when prescribing GLP-1s may increase the risks of medical and financial harm. The findings appear in the journal, Janna, Maria Gaudoy, and P.R. News. This is NPR News from Washington.

of 180 miles per hour, making a direct hit on one of the islands, Dana Williams, from Member Station KPRG, reports from GLAM. Emergency officials in the U.S. territories of GLAM in the northern Mariana's were waiting for high winds and heavy rains to subside before beginning damage assessment. The four populated islands all experienced typhoon force winds, but the island of Roda just
33 square miles and with a population of about 1,800 was completely encircled by the eye of the category 5 storm. Here the storm brought 35-foot surf and triggered flash floods. Power was knocked out on all the islands and many roads on GLAM were impossible. The islands remain under typhoon warning and residents were warned to stay indoors and off
the roads because of dangerous weather conditions. For NPR News, I'm Dana Williams on GLAM. In the World Cup, England defeated Mexico three to two last night in Mexico City. This ends Mexico's World Cup run after the team made it through the knockout stage for the first time since 1986.
