President Trump now says the U.S. hasn't agreed to grant Ukraine licenses to produce
“Patriot missile systems and PEOs Franco or Don'tias reports.”
Lesson 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 can give that technology. They can sell them. They 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, or Donias, and Pionese, the White House.
“Chevron Friday reported its highest quarterly earnings ever, while Exxon and Shelld also”
did well. That news comes as problems shipping crewed through the straight-of-war moves continue. And Piora's Camilla Dominoskiy says the profits for the oil giants were huge. If you take Shell Exxon and Chevron together, these are the three big oil companies that reported this week, combined they made a $444 million in profit every day.
For the last quarter on average. For Shelld, these are the second highest quarterly earnings ever. Exxon doubled its profits compared to this time last year. And this is even though Shell and Exxon, in particular, have operations in the Middle East that are damaged or paused because of the war.
But the high price of crude has more than made up for that. In Spain, the authorities say at least 57 people have died this week as thousands of people have attempted to cross into Spanish territory for Morocco. Officials say some 50,000 people have now made the crossing into Céuta, poverty and youth and employment are high in Morocco, and that's pushed many people to look for better
opportunities in Europe. And Piora's Miguel Masias talks about the response to the surge. The International reaction has been swift. The European Commission had also left on their line, warned that dangerous crossings must be stopped immediately.
Italy announced that the screen on Europeans arriving from Spain, and the State Department has come out making a connection between this mass crossing and census migration friendly policies to be clear there's no evidence of a connection there, but for census, the optics are just terrible. Federal prosecutors admitted Friday that damaged the lining of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting
Pool was caused by a bad installation job, and not the result of vandalism. The prosecutors moved to dismiss vandalism charges against former Olympian David Hurn, who is visiting the pool on his motorcycle and inspecting the damage pool when he was arrested.
The Trump administration paid more than $10 million for the pool lining.
You're listening to NPR news. Hamas leaders said Friday that the group will begin disarming as part of a deal announced by President Trump, that he also requires Israel to end its attacks and withdraws forces from Gaza, but a major stumbling block remains. Hamas says it will not give up at heavy weapons until the Palestinian State has created,
but Israel's rejected that demand is really not formally commented on the deal. Google has removed the tool that let users create AI-generated satellite images, as MPR's Jeff Brumfield reports, many experts were concerned it could be used to spread misinformation. The tool on Google Earth was removed just a day after it was unveiled, that unveiling cost an out-prime on journalists, open source investigators, and human right-to-vis to
use Googlers to verify events all over the world. Many were horrified by the new tool, which allowed users to generate AI versions of real satellite images with the click of a button. NPR was easily able to generate imagery depicting a US attack on Iran and the flooding of the capital building, neither event happened in real life.
The company said it removed the new tool because people were sharing imagery that quote "appears to violate our policies," it said it's working to develop stronger guardrails. Jeff Brumfield and PR news. FIFA has dropped its controversial plan to sell World Cup profits to private equity firms. The about-face came after Asia's soccer body joined Europe and North America in opposition.
One of the investors who would have profited from the plan was Joshua Kushner, who is the brother of President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. I'm Dale Wilman, NPR News.
“Have you ever been so upset that you can't even think straight?”
When we're distressed and in high anxiety, we tend to breathe from our chest, which is actually more hyperventilating and is the opposite of relaxing. So we want to breathe from our belly area. This week on the LifeKit podcast, tips for those painful, stressful moments.
