President Trump's strategy on Iran is growing less clear after another round of U.S.
“air strikes and new threats of further military action.”
The president says the ceasefire is over, even as the White House leaves the door open to future talks. Democratic Senator Jean Chahine tells NPR that the mixed signals are making it hard to know what comes next. None of the goals that he set out in the beginning have been accomplished.
We've not seen regime change. In fact, we have a more hard line in place. They still have a significant number of their ballistic missiles. They have now controlled. They still have all of their nuclear material."
Shehine says a lasting ceasefire will require a clear U.S. strategy and sustained diplomacy. President Trump is taking Syria off a terrorism blacklist, paving the way for more sanctions relief. NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports Trump met with the country's president on the sidelines of the NATO summit this week in Turkey.
President Trump is praising Syrian leader Ahmed Al-Shara, a former militant, for turning Syria around following a devastating civil war.
"We're proud of the job he's doing, Syria's become a very stable, amazing and a short
period of time. It's really been stabilized and we're proud of that." Secretary of State Marco Rubio says President Trump has notified Congress that the U.S. will take Syria off the state's sponsor of terrorism list. Rubio statements says that lifting sanctions will, quote, "unlock international trade and
investment" and give Syria a chance to rebuild and open up a new chapter. To show Kellerman and PR news, the State Department. Campaign staffers keep trying to bet on candidates to spite efforts to curb insider trading. In response, prediction market Calshy has launched a new program to fight political insider trading, but some are getting through as MPR's Lou Garrett reports.
Calshy now uses federal election commission data to actively track campaign staffer trades. Since launching the new program, Calshy has blocked dozens of staffers from trading on their own races. Robert Denulp is the company's head of enforcement and legal counsel. "We're looking at election markets with a very close eye here.
“They obviously bear a really important integrity issue."”
Calshy's election tracking program launched just days after an NPR report on campaign insider trading. Former FEC commissioner Lee Goodman called the program a good first step. "However, it's not a panacea and it's because it leaves still many people who are involved in campaigns who will not show up on FEC reports."
At least one campaign staffer was able to trade on a race they were involved in on Calshy, despite this new program. Lou Garrett and PR News, Washington. This is NPR. Democrats and Maine are scrambling to replace U.S. Senate nominee, Graham Platner, after he
suspended his campaign last night. Plutters kept aside following a rape allegation that he's repeatedly denied along with other allegations of sexual misconduct. Maine Democrats have until July 27 to choose a new candidate to challenge Republican Senators using Collins in November.
Cancer rates worldwide are projected to double by the year 2050. That's according to a new report from the World Health Organization, the report highlights how chances of surviving cancer increasingly depend on where a patient lives and their economic circumstances and PR's Jonathan Lambert has more on the findings.
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. That inequality stems from disparities in access to early detection and treatment through reports says WHO calls for strengthened cancer coverage and national health plans and more efforts to ensure equitable access to the latest cancer care.
