President Trump now says the U.S. hasn't agreed to grant Ukraine licenses to produce
“patriot missile systems and PR's Franco Ordonia's reports.”
Less than three weeks ago Trump told Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky that the U.S. would give Ukraine a license to manufacture patriot air defense missiles. Something Keev has long wanted. But now Trump says the U.S. must be judicious with sharing the technology. Now, we have not agreed to that.
We're talking about it. But it's a hard thing to give away that kind of technology. And I don't think this would ever happen. But, you know, there's people that give that technology. They can someday turn on you.
Access to the missiles has been a critical part of Ukraine's defense in the war.
The Biden administration sent stockpiles over to assist. But Trump has so far resisted doing so. Franco Ordonia's NPR News. The White House.
“The Trump administration has dropped its case against a former Olympic canoeist who was accused”

In the 20-page filing government prosecuted to say the damage to the reflecting pools caused by contract to errors and rushed construction rather than vandalism. International guard troops and U.S. park police arrested David Hurn at the reflecting pool

The FBI says that water facilities across the U.S. revictives of recent cyber attacks and PR's at Gen. Glawflin spoke to cyber security experts who say they've seen hackers widely targeting industrial devices.
According to multiple cyber security experts interviewed by NPR, there's evidence that bad actors have been scanning the internet in recent weeks, looking for insecure industrial control systems.
Those devices are used in critical infrastructure from water to power.
Michael Creen of cyber security firm Sonic Wall says his company has seen broad opportunistic attacks on this technology explode in recent months, highlighting the risk of connecting these devices to the internet. Another cyber security expert who requested anonymity to protect sources on sensitive security matters, said the recent attacks were almost certainly linked to Iran.
The timing suggests they were likely motivated by U.S. strikes, general Glawflin and Pair News. This is NPR. Arizona, California and Nevada would get a lot less water from the Colorado River under a proposal to stay off a crisis in the river.

She's been spending hours on the phone, helping patients comb through their grocery receipts and their takeout orders. Kim says the people she's talking to now have been much more forthcoming compared to the people she contacted during a measles outbreak in the spring. People were guarded and didn't want to talk to us versus this is just like food poisoning

Federal funding cuts have affected the state's public health system, reducing staff and capacity at the labs that handle disease samples. In Ann Arbor, Michigan, I'm Kate Wells. A SpaceX rocket is on a collision course with the moon after launching a pair of lunar
