The investigation continues into the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, a black teenager whose
“body was found on a barrier island off Mississippi's coast after the 4th of July weekend.”
His family and attorneys are expected to speak today as the case draws national attention. At least Greg of Mississippi Public Broadcasting and the Gulf states newsroom reports. There's been a lot of speculation and state officials haven't announced a cause of death yet. They say the medical examiner is still waiting on a toxicology report to finalize the autopsy. In the meantime, civil rights attorney Ben Kromp called for an independent autopsy.
He said he's holding a press conference in Harlem, New York City with Reverend Al Sharpton and Wells' family. That's a least Greg reporting. The environmental protection agency is proposing changes to pollution rules for heavy-duty vehicles that would make them easier to comply with.
According to EPA estimates that could save thousands of dollars per vehicle for companies buying semis and buses.
“NPR's Camila Dominozki reports the new guidelines could increase pollution from those vehicles by 11% per year by mid-century.”
The EPA wants to delay some rules designed to make sure that emissions fighting technology works across the life of a vehicle, not just when it's new. It would also allow manufacturers to post-pone compliance if they pay a fine and eliminate requirement that engines reduce power if their emissions systems aren't working, which vehicle operators have called disruptive.
The proposed changes are now open for public comment. The trucking industry had asked for the rules to be changed, saying they imposed significant burdens. Environmental groups have denounced the changes as damaging to human health. Camila Dominozki and PR News. This is NPR News in Washington.

A class action lawsuit against Elon Musk's AI company over deep-faked child sexual abuse material expanded Tuesday to add new plaintiffs and a new defendant, stability, AI, and PR's woe Jingnan reports on the new allegations in the case. One new plaintiff alleged that although the company alerted the authorities of suspected child sexual exploitation, it did not share potentially identifying information for perpetrator,
even when repeatedly asked. The alleged perpetrator, the woman's stepfather, allegedly used one photo of the woman when she was about 11 to make thousands of deep-faked child sexual abuse material using rock.
The original plaintiffs alleged that stability-AI's models powered a third-party app,
their shared perpetrator used. They alleged that the company had successfully restricted one older model's ability to produce explicit material, but wrote back the measures in newer models for profit. The plaintiffs are asking the AI companies to stop enabling such crimes and are demanding monetary damages, neither company responded to requests for comment.
