"Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman.
China's military test launched a long-range ballistic missile Monday.
“News report said it was carrying a dummy warhead and was part of routine training.”
It was launched from a nuclear-powered sub-in-the-south Pacific. The New Zealand government says it was fired into a nuclear-free zone established in the 1986 treaty." NATO's leaders are meeting an Istanbul turkey this week, a major focus will be unjust who should pay the most for European defense.
President Trump has insisted that the European country should be paying more. Max Bergman is with the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He says the U.S. messaging has been confusing. "They needed to spend more on defense that has been clear. But we have wanted to play the role of quarterback in Europe.
And when the Europeans have moved in the past through the European Union, for instance, to
develop their own defense capabilities, we have told them not to. So now we are switching gears and saying, "Why aren't you taking charge?"
“And the Europeans are like, "Well, how do you want us to do that?"”
And so we are stuck in the United States of wanting your to do more, to be independent, to move on. The talks begin on Tuesday. An activist group says a far-right Israeli minister has canceled a trip to the U.S. over concerns he could be prosecuted there. And PR is Emily Fang has our story."
Israel's national security minister, E. tomorrow, Ben Gavier. Israel to trip earlier last month to the U.S., but he had been planning another trip to New York City to attend a UN conference this July. That's according to Israel's harretz newspaper citing sources. But then, in a Belgium registered group, the Henry Job Foundation submitted a complaint to the
U.S. Department of Justice and urged New York City to prosecute the Israeli security minister. Ben Gavier's ramped up arrests of Palestinians and he's encouraged more illegal settlements and Israeli occupied West Bank. Actions, which his foundation said, had affected Palestinians with New York residents. Ben Gavier's office at the Minister is not planning to attend the UN conference.
He's already banned from entering France and Ireland. Emily Fang and PR News, Tel Aviv. U.S. men's soccer star forward, Follora and Bolligan will be allowed to play in the U.S. World Cup match against Belgium on Monday night. FIFA has lifted the striker's red card ban, and Pius Christen Wright has more.
FIFA's disciplinary committee announced its suspending ballagons one-game ban for a probationary period of one year, a major decision that gives the U.S. men's team back its lead score for the World Cup round of 16 match against Belgium. Ballagon got the red card for a foul against an opposing defender during the U.S.'s two nil victory against Bosnia, Herzogovina on Wednesday.
The American striker said it was unintentional. U.S. soccer said in a statement, "It's pleased with FIFA's decision, and its attention is focused on the game."

“Asian stocks were mixed on Monday as caution to cold ahead of a crucial earnings season”
for AI stocks. The potential for increased oil supply meanwhile waited on oil prices and offered some relief from inflationary pressures. The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a major election case sound of Arizona. As NPR's Hansi low-wong reports, this case could end up weakening a ban on mass purges
of voter registration lists just before a federal election. Under federal law, states are supposed to finish any program for systematically removing ineligible voters from their roles 90 days before election day in federal races. Congress passes ban on late mass purges to make sure any eligible voters who mistakenly get flagged have enough time to resolve problems and cast their ballots.
But Republican state officials in Arizona argued the ban does not apply to programs like theirs, at focus on removing non-U.S. citizens. The Supreme Court has not yet scheduled oral arguments for this case, and decision is not expected until next year. For this false midterm election, some legal experts are wondering how courts won force
to ban on late voter-wong purges. In 2024, the high court allowed a purge in Virginia that cancel registrations of U.S. citizens eligible to vote.
