Live from NPR News, I'm trial Snyder.
The 60-day ceasefire with Iran has come and gone with no indication that the conflict is any closer to a settlement.
“President Trump has ruled out, extending the interim agreement reached in June, and speaking”
to Fox News on Monday, he threatened to bomb Oman if it gets in the way. He was asked about that remark by a White House reporter. "This morning, he said he would bomb the outside of Oman, if they got in the way of reopening the straighted formers. Would you say you're out of patience with Oman, as strategic people?"
"No, I don't think it'd be very well, but we'd handle them very soon. It's just like we do other things." Oman has been in separate negotiations with Iran on an agreement to manage a straight-up for moves. The investigation into the death of Mississippi, Teen Nolan Wells has ongoing, Elise Gregg,
the Gulf States Newsroom, and Mississippi Public Broadcasting reports the NAACP is joining attorneys for the family. It's been over a month since the 18-year-old was found dead on Horn Island. Now the NAACP says it's joining the family's attorneys to push for transparency in the investigation.
NAACP president Derek Johnson says they don't want to assume the results of the investigation, but have serious concerns about how local investigators are handling the case, especially with questions about whether there are racial elements to well-stuff. "We are simply saying transparency on aggressive investigations to get answers can help to stay, move beyond its paths, perceptions, and really stand up to a current reality."
“Key pieces of information like cause of death still haven't been publicly released.”
For NPR news, I mean least Gregg, in Jackson, Mississippi. "The prosecution has rested in the trial of the Massachusetts woman charge with killing her three children in 2023. Prosecutors call dozens of witnesses in the Lindsey Clancy case from Member Station WBUR. Deborah Becker reports."
Among those who've testified are the children's father, Patrick Clancy, first responders
of former Nanny and various healthcare and psychiatric professionals who treated Lindsey Clancy for post-partamental health issues. Clancy admits to killing the children, but the defenses arguing she's not guilty by reason of insanity, and says she should not be held criminally responsible because she was not in her right mind.
Prosecutors say she deliberately planned to kill her kids. If jurors agree with Clancy's insanity defense, she would be committed to a state hospital with periodic reviews to assess if she could be released. For NPR News, I'm Deborah Becker in Boston." "The Luigi Mancioni State murder trial in the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson
has been postponed indefinitely. Mancioni's lawyers are seeking to have the case dismissed on double jeopardy grounds after he pleaded guilty to federal charges last week, a hearing is set for December 10th. This is NPR News." The vaccination rate for American kindergartners is down as exemptions reach a record
high. Federal data release Monday show exvaccine exemptions rose to 4.2% up from 3.6% to previous year, marking the 4th consecutive year of rising exemption rates, mostly due to non-medical reasons. The data on vaccination rates is the first since Robert F. Kennedy became president
Trump's health secretary. Water levels in the nation's second largest reservoir have reached a new record low. The colorado river reservoir covers parts of Utah and northern Arizona. If the water level drops much lower, it could force the shutdown of hydropower turbines
that send electricity to about 5 million people.
If it drops further, the dam could have trouble sending water downstream at all, jeopardizing the supply for major cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Just down stream, Lake Mead, the nation's largest reservoir also hit a historic low last week. The records are the result of drought, climate change, and steady demand for Colorado River
Water. Policymakers are trying to agree on a new plan to rain in demand for the river over the next two years. It's expected to be released in the coming weeks. For NPR News, I'm Alex Hager, in Phoenix.
