The U.S. has launched a new round of strikes on Iran just hours after President Trump
said the ceasefire was over. This comes after Iran attacked several vessels in the state of Hormuz bringing ship traffic to a near stop, and Piers Jackie Northam reports. In a statement, U.S. Central Command says this latest round of strikes is to curb Iran's ability to threaten vessels in the state of Hormuz.
Iranian media say there were explosions in the port city of Bonda Robas and other areas. The tit-for-tat exchanges could signal the end of the fragile truce between the U.S. and Iran. The U.S. offered a number of incentives to Iran in the temporary peace agreement
“to keep the state of Hormuz open and oil prices low, particularly important for Trump”
as the mid-terms draw close.
At a NATO summit in Ankara Turkey, President Trump expressed outrage at Iran's attack
on vessels, saying it had reneged on the deal, but he said he didn't think the war would start again. Jackie Northam and PR News A Wisconsin judge who is convicted of obstructing immigration agents has been ordered to pay a $5,000 fine, in a case that became a flash point in President Trump's immigration agenda,
Mayan Silver from Member Station W.U.W.M. reports. In April 2025, ICE agents came to arrest an undocumented immigrant in Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugin's courtroom. She led him out a private door into a restricted hallway. In December, she was found guilty of the felony charge of impeding a proceeding.
Prosecutors had recommended 15 to 21 months in prison. Dugin's lawyers asked for time served, noting that Dugin has decades of public service and has had to step down as a judge.
“There's Dugin's attorney Jason Luzack after the sentencing.”
The collateral consequences to her were great, and we appreciate that the judge took that into consideration, whenever he's sentenced her to a fine, only in this case. Dugin's attorney said they will appeal the conviction. For MPR News, I'm Ayyan Silver in Milwaukee. Worldwide cancer rates are projected to double by 2050, according to a new report from
the World Health Organization, as NPR's at Jonathan Lambert reports.
About 20 million people get diagnosed with cancer each year and 10 million die from the
disease. But that burden, both in terms of cases and deaths, is disproportionately spread across the globe. For example, in Europe, roughly one in four people are expected to develop cancer, but only one in 12 will die from it.
People in sub-Saharan Africa have about half the risk of developing cancer, but one in 12 are still expected to die from the disease.
“But inequality stems from disparities in access to early detection and treatment”
the report says WHO calls for strengthened cancer coverage in national health plans and more efforts to ensure equitable access to the latest cancer care. Jonathan Lambert and PR News.

A federal appeals court has denied a president Trump's request to stop the removal of
his name from the Kennedy Center and PR's Anastasia Seulcus reports. A federal appeals court on the DC circuit has denied all of Trump's arguments, which sought to halt the removal of his name from the Washington Arts Complex. The signage on the building has been covered with tarp and scaffolding since June 13th and the center's executive director told the court last month that Trump's name had
been removed. Now the appeals court has ruled that Trump failed to prove his claim that the center and its future fundraising would be "reparably injured" if his name were taken off at signage and digital materials. The bursiding judge, Christopher Arcooper, has ordered that the center provided with
a status report on the center's operation and programming before the end of this month.
