Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. In a rare Saturday session, Republican senators are expecting a vote to open debate on the 940-page revised tax and spending bill [提案] containing much of President Trump's agenda [议程] that was released overnight. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Many Republican senators have admitted they're not happy with this bill. One said it will take away health care from working people. And yet there's still a yes on this bill. If Republican senators are not happy with this bill because they know how badly it hurts their constituency [选区], they should vote no. There are still Republican senators who aren't on board [一致], and the GOP can only lose three votes for the bill to pass. Senate Majority Leader John Thune. We have before us today a once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver legislation to create a safer, stronger, and more prosperous [富饶的] America. The GOP is trying to pass it by Trump's self-imposed [自我施加的] July 4th deadline. In Minnesota, hundreds gathered at a church in Minneapolis today to mourn [悼念] a former state Democratic lawmaker and her husband, both shot and killed in an act of political violence two weeks ago. From Minnesota Public Radio, Catherine Richard has more. Melissa and Mark Hortman were eulogized [称赞] as caring people who were the same at the Minnesota Capitol as they were at home. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said Melissa Hortman was the most consequential [有影响的] House speaker in state history. More kids in pre-K [学前班], fewer in poverty [贫困]. More schools with the tools and teachers they need, fewer with hungry students. More trees in the ground and clean energy coursing [快速流动] through the grid. Fewer roads and bridges at risk of failure. More people in safe and secure housing. Fewer worrying about how to manage caring for their loved ones. Vance Belter is facing state and federal murder charges [谋杀指控] for the killing and additional charges for the shooting of another state senator and his wife. The number of people detained [羁押] by immigration and customs enforcement has been rapidly increasing. NPR's Meg Anderson reports the Trump administration has now surpassed its previous high, which was reached during his first term in 2019. On average, more than 55,000 people are now held in ICE custody [羁押] every day, according to data from the administration. Historical data collected by the Marshall Project suggests that number, met just this month, is the highest ever recorded. What's more, it is nearly 15,000 more people than what ICE is currently funded for. Immigration experts say a big driver of the growth in how many people are detained comes from a shift in priorities [优先事项]. The Trump administration is arresting more people who haven't committed any crimes beyond their civil immigration violation [违反民事移民法]. More than 1,200 authors, including Jody Pico and Paul Tremblay, have signed a petition asking publishing houses [出版社] to do more to protect them against the impacts of generative AI. NPR's Chloe Veltman reports until now, writers have mostly fought back against AI through lawsuits targeting AI companies. The petition circulated [流传] after a group of around 70 writers released an open letter on Friday morning. It asked publishers to refrain [避免] from publishing books created using AI tools built on copyrighted [有版权的] content without author's consent [同意] or compensation [补偿], and to only hire human audiobook narrators [电子书配音员], among other requests. The appeal [请愿] to publishers comes after federal judges ruled in favour of tech companies Anthropic AI and Meta in two copyright infringement [版权侵权] cases launched by authors. NPR reached out to all five of the major American publishing houses for comment. In a statement, Simon & Schuster spokesperson Susanna Lawrence said her company is taking the authors' concerns seriously. In Atlanta, nearly 500 flights have been cancelled in and out of Hartsville-Jackson International Airport, according to the flight tracking site FlightAware. This after a slow-moving cluster of storms overnight dropped heavy rain across much of the metro area, along with hail [冰雹] and strong winds. The National Weather Service says that caused flash flooding [短时间突发的洪灾] and that thunderstorms are expected to continue over the weekend. FlightAware says there are more than 1,400 cancellations around the country, more than 23,000 delayed flights.

 Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone. President Trump has repeatedly said he wants Congress [国会] to pass his major fiscal package [财政方案] by July 4th, but as NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports, the deadline could slip [拖后]. At a White House press conference today, a reporter asked Trump how important that deadline is as Senate Republicans scramble [困难] to pass the bill. It's important. It's not the end all. It can go longer, but we'd like to get it done by that time, if possible. The Senate parliamentarian this week determined that, as written, the bill could not pass with a simple majority, leaving Republicans to rework it with a week to go until July 4th. The bill would extend some tax breaks [减税方案] and also cut federal Medicaid spending. President Trump also said another deadline could be extended, a July 9th deadline he had set for countries to negotiate [谈判] tariff rates [关税税率] with him. That deadline applies to import taxes Trump imposed in April on goods from nearly every country in the world. Danielle Kurtzleben, the White House. The Supreme Court has upheld [维持] the part of the Affordable Care Act that makes preventive [预防性] care like cancer screenings [癌症筛查] free for patients. NPR's Selina Simmons-Duffin has the latest. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is made up of volunteer experts. If they determine that a cancer screening or preventive medication is based on good evidence, the Affordable Care Act requires health insurers to cover it without any cost to patients. Braidwood Management, a company owned by Christian conservatives [保守派] in Texas, challenged the constitutionality [符合宪法性] of the task force. It objected to [反对] covering HIV [艾滋病] prevention medications. But the justices upheld the status quo in a 6-3 decision. The majority opinion, written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh, noted that the health secretary, currently Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has the power to review the recommendations. Selina Simmons-Duffin, Washington. Germany's chancellor [总理] says the European Union should do a quick and simple trade deal with the United States. There's less than two weeks to go to resolve the trade dispute before higher sanctions [制裁] take effect. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports. Speaking at a summit of EU leaders in Brussels, where European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled [公开] the latest U.S. proposals, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said the clock is ticking [嘀嗒响], businesses are in danger, and there's no time to negotiate a sophisticated [精密复杂的] new trade agreement. European industries, chemicals, pharmaceuticals [只要的], cars, agricultural [农业的] products, and wine are already being burdened with 10 percent tariffs. They could go higher if no agreement is reached with the Trump administration. The EU is also on the cusp [交点] of signing a major trade accord [协议] with Latin America's Mercosur bloc [南方共同市场]. France has opposed that deal but may be ready to compromise [妥协] given the free trade problems with the U.S. Eleanor Beardsley, Paris. A Wall Street rally for a possible S&P 500 record was on shaky ground after the president signaled a French-U.S.-Canada trade dispute. Near the close, the S&P up 32 points. Nike is reporting a sharp drop in quarterly earnings. The athletic [运动] apparel [衣服] and equipment company says earnings fell 68 percent as sales declined 12 percent. NPR's Alina Seljuk reports. Nike is in the middle of a consequential turnaround. The athletic giant has been losing sales for a long time now thanks to repetitive [重复的] sneaker designs and costly missteps [失策] trying to hold some of its shoes back from retail stores. Last year, Nike replaced its CEO with a company veteran [老员工] called out of retirement, and he's now saying there's, quote, a clear path to recovery ahead. For now, Nike is losing money as it offloads [摆脱] its old inventory [库存], jumpstarts fresher designs, and spends big on marketing. But it's mended [修改] its deals with Dick's Sporting Goods, Foot Locker, and Amazon, and it's predicting that the current quarter will see a decline in sales that's a lot smaller than before, which sent Nike's share price up. A U.S. Navy ship named during the Biden administration after a 1970s gay rights [同性恋权益] activist has a new name. In a social media video, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the change. The Department of the Navy is renaming the Fleet Replenishment Oiler [舰队补给油船], formerly known as the USNS Harvey Milk, to the USNS Oscar V. Peterson. We are taking the politics out of ship naming. Peterson fought in the Pacific during World War II. Harvey Milk had served four years in the Navy. He was assassinated [暗杀] in 1978. Wall Street, the Dow closed up 432 points.

 Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. The U.S. Supreme Court will allow South Carolina to remove Planned Parenthood [一个非政府组织，提供堕胎服务] from its state Medicaid [美国医保] program. NPR's Nina Totenberg reports the decision allows states to ban the organization from receiving Medicaid reimbursements [报销] for cancer screenings [癌症筛查] and other care not related to abortion [堕胎]. When South Carolina's governor sought to cut off Medicaid reimbursements to two Planned Parenthood centers that had for decades provided non-abortion medical services to underserved areas, Planned Parenthood sued [提告]. The Medicaid law does specifically say that patients are entitled [有权力] to choose any qualified and willing provider. But Justice Neil Gorsuch said that regardless of the words in the statute [法条], the law does not clearly and unambiguously [明确的] provide the right to sue to enforce the terms of the law. The decision was a backdoor body blow to Planned Parenthood, which for decades has been reimbursed by Medicaid for providing non-abortion medical services to low-income people. Nina Totenberg, Washington. The Pentagon [五角大楼] and the White House are praising U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities as a success. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the latest assessment shows the attacks caused massive damage. NPR's Quill Lawrence reports Hegseth also attacked the media today for suggesting otherwise. The Secretary of Defense repeatedly praised President Trump's leadership in deciding to attack Iran's nuclear sites last weekend. He attacked the press for reporting on leaked [泄漏的] preliminary intelligence [情报] assessments that cast doubt on whether Iran's nuclear program has been destroyed. Hegseth cited other Trump administration sources, as well as the international community, to assert [宣称] that the mission succeeded. He said he was not aware of any intelligence that Iran might have moved some of its stockpile [储备] of nuclear fuel. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Cain, gave a lengthy presentation describing the years of planning and hours of non-stop flight by U.S. servicemen and women. But he said a full assessment of the strike was still pending [待定的]. The new members of a CDC advisory committee have voted to limit the availability of certain flu vaccines. NPR's Ping Huang reports. The Vaccine Advisory Committee met with all new members, handpicked by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. They agreed that people should get flu vaccines annually, but voted to specify that they get single-dose flu vaccines that don't contain a mercury-containing [含汞的] preservative [防腐剂] called thimerosal. The vote passed with five members voting for it, one abstaining [弃权], and Dr. Cody Meissner, from Dartmouth, was the only one who voted no. There is no scientific evidence thimerosal has caused a problem. Thimerosal has long been used to prevent germs [细菌] from growing in multi-dose vials [多剂的小瓶]. Theories that it causes autism [自闭症] have been examined and found to be groundless [没有根据的]. Ping Huang, Atlanta. Closing arguments are underway in the trial of Sean Diddy Combs. The prosecutor [公诉人] told the jury that the hip-hop mogul [大佬] used power, violence, and fear to rule a criminal enterprise for 20 years. Combs has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking [性贩卖] and racketeering conspiracy [有组织犯罪] charges [指控]. Gray wolves have started to reappear in California after nearly a century of their absence. Manola Sikhaida from CapRadio reports their return is causing issues for livestock [牲畜]. Four northern California counties declared a state of emergency due to the wolves' presence earlier this spring. One of them is Plumas County, where Weston Roberti works as a rancher [农场主]. Roberti has already seen wolves targeting calves [小牛] at his family's ranch. At neighboring ranches, he says wolves have successfully killed or attacked cattle [牛]. He worries more wolves will appear when calving season [小牛出生季] at his ranch reaches its peak in the summer. The reality is kicking in that the wolves are here to stay, and something needs to change management-wise. California recently launched a summer pilot program [试点项目], which includes an on-the-ground team that will work to locate wolves and guide them away from livestock. Long-time Vogue [时尚杂志] editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has announced that her role at the company will be changing. Condé Nast [康泰纳仕，一个媒体公司] says Vogue will add a new position ahead of editorial content for Vogue U.S. That will allow Wintour to focus on her roles as global editorial director for Vogue and chief content officer for Condé Nast. At last check on Wall Street, the Dow was up 404 points.

Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Jack Spear. President Donald Trump continues to push back against a preliminary [初步的] U.S. intelligence [情报] damage assessment [毁坏评估] of strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites. At the now-concluded NATO summit at The Hague [海牙], Trump describing the impact as obliteration [彻底消灭]. NPR's Tamara Keith explains Trump also downplayed [调低调门] the risks of Iran restarting its nuclear program. President Trump said the U.S. would meet with Iranian officials next week, but he no longer sees urgency [急迫性] in pursuing an agreement with Iran to halt [中断] its nuclear ambitions. We may sign an agreement. I don't know. To me, I don't think it's that necessary. I mean, they had a war. They fought. Now they're going back to their world. I don't care if I have an agreement or not. The only thing we'd be asking for is what we were asking for before about we want no nuclear, but we destroyed the nuclear. A preliminary U.S. intelligence assessment found damage from the strikes may be less severe than Trump has described, but the president said it's too soon to have the full picture. The Trump administration is suing [告] federal judges in Maryland over an order that prevents the immediate removal [此处指遣返] of detained migrants. It's just the latest in the Trump administration's clash [冲突] with the federal judiciary [司法系统]. More from NPR's Ryan Lucas. The Trump administration filed the lawsuit against 15 federal judges in the District of Maryland. The administration is challenging a standing rule put in place by the district's chief judge that automatically blocks on a limited temporary basis the government from deporting [遣返] migrants in Maryland to file suit challenging their detention. The administration says the rule impedes [阻碍] the power of the White House to enforce immigration laws and is an unlawful attempt to restrain [限制] the executive branch [行政分支]. The unusual suit was filed in the court the administration is suing, so the Justice Department is requesting that the case be presided over by a federal judge from another district. Ryan Lucas, Washington. Another sticky [发黏的] day in much of the central and eastern U.S. National Weather Service issuing heat advisories and extreme heat warnings in about two dozen states from Louisiana to New Hampshire. NPR's Rebecca Hersher says the heat dome [高温穹顶], means dangerous conditions for those who work outside. Outdoor jobs can be dangerous in hot weather, for example, picking food, doing construction, or delivering mail. Ryan Paparello works for the Laborers Health and Safety Fund of North America, a union-affiliated [与工会相关的] group that represents about three million construction workers. Each year, construction consistently ranks among the top industries of heat-related injuries and fatalities [伤亡], which are entirely preventable. Paparello spoke at a recent hearing about proposed federal heat protections that would require employers to offer water, shade, and breaks during hot weather. Right now, only a few states have such rules in place. A mixed close on Wall Street today. The Dow was down 106 points. The Nasdaq closed up 61 points today. President Trump's so-called Big Beautiful Bill that's currently wending [前进] its way through Congress could cause unanticipated consequences. That's going to the National Taxpayer Advocate, which says when there are tax law changes, requests for information from the IRS go up. The group says that could be a problem this year, given that the administration's had its staffing cut by roughly a quarter. A SpaceX capsule [太空舱] is en route [在路上] to the International Space Station. It launched before dawn [破晓] today. Brendan Byrne says with Central Public Media says astronauts from the U.S., India, Poland, and Hungary are on board. It's the fourth mission brokered [协调] by the Houston, Texas space company Axiom Space. The company works with SpaceX for rides to the station and coordinates with NASA for the usage of the International Space Station for its astronauts. The mission comes after multiple delays, most recently after NASA investigated repairs to a leak [泄漏] on the space station. Now launched, it will take a little more than a day to catch up with and dock [停泊] to the station. The crew will spend about 14 days living and working aboard the space station, conducting dozens of science experiments. After the time on orbit, they'll return to Earth in their capsule, splashing [拍水] down in the Pacific Ocean. A star-studded [众星荟萃的] guest list of people arriving in Venice [威尼斯] for the wedding of multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. Among the guests, Mick Jagger, Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Moreover, a number of activist groups are pushing back against the nuptials, pointing to the growing disparity [差异] between the haves and the have-nots and the use of Venice as a playground for the rich. The groups are uniting under the banner [旗帜], no space for Bezos.

 Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Kristen Wright. A U.S. official not authorized [被授权] to speak publicly tells NPR that U.S. military strikes against three Iranian nuclear sites this past Saturday, set the program back a few months, and that damage to the centrifuges [离心机] at the underground Fordow facility was limited. The official says the early assessment says the attacks did not obliterate [彻底消除] Iran's nuclear enrichment program, as President Trump had said. The president has arrived in the Netherlands [荷兰] to attend the NATO summit [北约峰会]. It's a short gathering this year. It ends tomorrow. But there are some big debates happening over defense spending by alliance [同盟] member nations. NPR's Deepa Shivaram has more. The goal of the summit is to get NATO nations to commit to [承诺] spending 5 percent of their GDP on defense in the next decade. But President Trump isn't convinced [被说服的] the U.S. should have to adhere to [遵守] that number. On the flight over to the Netherlands, he said he doesn't think the U.S. needs to pay what Europe pays. He was also unclear on his commitment to Article 5 of the NATO Charter, the mutual defense [互相防御] agreement that says if one NATO country is attacked, all will defend. Trump said he was committed to, quote, saving lives, and said he'd give an exact definition on his stance [立场] on Article 5 when he got to the Netherlands. Nations are meeting for a dinner at the Palace of the King of the Netherlands this evening, and then gathering for summit sessions on Wednesday. Deepa Shivaram, The Hague. New Yorkers are voting today in the city's Democratic mayoral primary [民主党市长候选人初选]. NPR's Sarah Ventry reports there are clear frontrunners [领先者] among the 11 candidates. The frontrunners are current member of the State Assembly Zoran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist [社会主义者], and former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a centrist [中间派] Democrat. Both candidates have campaigned [以...为竞选大纲] on issues of affordability [可支付性], public safety, and education, but with very different visions for the city. Because this election uses ranked-choice [不是选一个，而是按照顺序投票] voting, the outcome [结果] may not be immediately known. Sarah Ventry, New York. Stocks gained for a second day, while oil prices continued falling on hope's tensions in the Middle East ease. Right now, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 507 points. NPR's Rafael Nam has more. Tensions between Iran and Israel continue despite a fragile [脆弱的] ceasefire agreement [停火协议] between the two countries that the U.S. helped broker [调解]. Nonetheless, investors are hopeful the situation will improve and that cooler [冷静的] heads will prevail [占据上风]. Debt optimism is helping fuel gains in Wall Street. Oil prices fell sharply after President Trump said today that China could buy oil from Iran. Debt's helping reduce concerns about global supplies. Nonetheless, investors are mindful that things could change pretty quickly. Extreme heat warnings or heat advisories [高温警告] are in place for almost 160 million people across the U.S., according to the National Weather Service. NPR's Adam Bearn got this advice on keeping kids safe in the heat. Dr. Jess Weiss is a pediatrician [儿医] at Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. She says adults should use common sense [常识] when it comes to letting kids play outside. But we do worry about temperatures being above 95 degrees. Weiss says drinking lots of water and taking plenty of breaks are key. She also suggests that summer camps or daycares adjust their schedules [时间表]. Keeping outdoor time outside of those really hot hours between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. That's exactly what's happening at Curiosity Preschool in Silver Spring, Maryland. The kids are only playing outside in the morning. Five-year-old Mila Zudyk knows where she'd rather be. I like to go on slides [滑梯] outside and I also like to go to the parks. She has to wait a little longer with the heat wave due to last into next week. Sean Diddy Combs' defense lawyers aren't expected to call witnesses [传唤证人], and Combs isn't taking the stand [出庭作证]. The music mogul [大佬] is on trial in New York for sex trafficking [性贩卖], racketeering conspiracy [有组织犯罪], and transportation to engage in prostitution [卖淫]. Combs pleaded not guilty [不认罪] to all charges. His defense is that he led an unconventional [非常规的] but consensual [互相同意的] sex life that didn't involve his businesses. Closing arguments could begin this week. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will return to Capitol Hill [国会山] tomorrow to give lawmakers more answers about interest rates and the economy.

 Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Kristen Wright. Iran has attacked an American air base in Qatar. About 10,000 service members are stationed [驻扎] there. The base, Tehran's response, comes two days after the United States bombed three nuclear facilities in Iran. NPR's Quill Lawrence says U.S. officials are reporting no American casualties [伤亡]. Pentagon officials say Al-Udid Air Base in Qatar was attacked by short-range and medium-range ballistic missiles [弹道导弹] originating from Iran just across the Persian Gulf [波斯湾]. Troops [军队] throughout the region have been on high alert in the weeks since Israel began bombing Iran directly, and dependent families had already been evacuating [撤离]. After the U.S. bombed Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend, U.S. bases have been expecting some kind of Iranian retaliation [报复]. The Department of Homeland Security has released a bulletin [告示] warning that Iranian cyber attacks [网络攻击] are likely. DHS says those attacks would probably be low-level. NPR's Jenna McLaughlin reports. Iran has a history of launching cyber attacks, where they'll steal or destroy data or temporarily disrupt [扰乱] critical infrastructure [重要的基础设施]. But experts say the impacts of cyber attacks could be limited in an active conflict, particularly given Iran's generally lower level of access and expertise [技能]. We haven't seen a sudden burst [突然上升] of activity in the United States, and it may take some time for them to get their act together. That's John Holtquist, chief cyber threat analyst for Google's Mandiant. He warns that Iranian hackers [黑客] will likely try to exaggerate [夸大] the impacts of minimally disruptive attacks. Though digital spying could give them knowledge of U.S. intentions as the conflict develops. The NATO [北约] summit opens tomorrow in The Hague [海牙]. Leaders of the 32 member nations will convene [集会] as the situation with Iran escalates, and Russia steps up attacks in Ukraine. President Trump is demanding allies boost their defense budgets. Trump heads to the summit tomorrow. Tens of millions of people are currently under extreme heat warnings and advisories [警告] in the U.S. The heat dome could smash [打破] June temperature records. As NPR's Julia Simon reports, scientists do see a clear connection between heat waves and global warming. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide [二氧化碳] and methane [甲烷] trap heat in the atmosphere and cause the Earth to heat up. Human-caused global warming is causing heat records to fall more frequently. Climate change also makes it more humid [潮湿的]. That's particularly dangerous because it's harder for sweat to evaporate [蒸发], making it harder for the body to cool down. As climate researchers say, global warming isn't a whodunit mystery [像指认杀人凶手一样的谜团]. The primary driver is humans burning planet-heating fossil fuels like oil, gas, and coal. Scientists say we already have scalable solutions that can cut climate pollution, like wind and solar energy combined with large battery systems. TikTok has banned the hashtag [话题标签] skinny talk. Following complaints by European regulators, they were concerned it was promoting dangerous and disordered eating. NPR's Katia Riddle reports policing [监管] this kind of content can be difficult. Much of the skinny talk content featured dangerously thin women with suggestions around how to lose weight quickly. Now the hashtag is gone, but there is still plenty of content on this platform and others that celebrates extreme diet culture. Experts say part of the reason these messages are so potent [有影响力的], social media isn't the only place people absorb [吸收] them. Amanda Rafool studies nutrition and social media at the University of Toronto. When it aligns with cultural ideas around how we should look or how we should act to look a certain way, that just makes the message all the more powerful. TikTok stresses that it uses a number of strategies to keep users safe from this kind of content. Federal prosecutors are expected to rest their case against Sean Diddy Combs today in New York. The music mogul [大佬] pleaded not guilty [不认罪] to sex trafficking [性贩卖] and racketeering conspiracy [有组织犯罪]. Combs could face life in prison if convicted. The government has called nearly 30 witnesses. Real estate company Compass is suing Zillow, accusing it of holding a monopoly [垄断] over digital home sale listings. Compass says Zillow's new policy banning home listings from appearing on the property site, if posted on any other site for more than 24 hours, violates antitrust [反垄断] laws. In new sales figures out today, it was the slowest May for existing home sales in 16 years.

 Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. In a briefing this morning, the Pentagon says U.S. stealth bombers returned without taking fire in yesterday's strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. MPR's Quill Lawrence has more. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the surprise attack included the first use of American massive ordnance [军械库] penetrating bombs designed to hit fortified [强化的] bunkers [地堡] deep underground like the Iranian nuclear site in Fordow. He said they appear to have hit their targets. Hegseth stressed that U.S. goals are limited. This mission was not and has not been about regime change [政权更迭]. The president authorized a precision operation to neutralize [消灭] the threats to our national interests posed by the Iranian nuclear program and the collective self-defense of our troops and our ally Israel. General Dan Cain, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said it's too early to see just how effective the strikes were. U.S. troops on bases in the region where Iran has struck in the past are on high alert for possible retaliation [报复]. And Russia is condemning [谴责] the Trump administration's decision to carry out attacks on its ally, Iran's nuclear site, as it pushes for a diplomatic [外交的] solution. NPR's Charles Maines has more from Moscow. Russia's foreign ministry issued a statement that called the U.S. attacks a flagrant [公然的] violation of international law. The Kremlin was more muted [克制的], saying only President Vladimir Putin had no immediate plans to contact President Trump. Putin has repeatedly offered Moscow as an intermediary [中间调停人] on the Iran issue, saying a deal could be reached that secured both Iran's right to a civilian nuclear energy program and Israel's security. Putin has also fended off [阻止] criticism at home that he has not done enough to support his allies in Tehran, despite a strategic partnership agreement and Iran providing Russia with drones for the war in Ukraine. Iran's foreign minister is expected in Moscow for talks Monday. Charles Maines, Moscow. The U.N. Security Council is meeting in an emergency session in New York on the strikes in Iran. U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres is calling for an immediate ceasefire. And so far, international monitors say they haven't seen any widespread environmental contamination [污染] from the strikes. And here's Nell Greenfield-Voice reports any radiological [放射性] or chemical hazards [伤害] seem to be confined [限制在] to the attacked sites. The International Atomic Energy Agency says it's been informed by the Iranian regulatory authorities that there has been no increase in off-site radiation levels. And the agency says at this time, it's not expecting any health consequences [后果] for people or the environment outside the targeted sites. Neighboring countries have been watching the situation closely. The government of Kuwait [科威特] put out a statement which said that no abnormal radiation levels have been detected by any of the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, and that monitoring would continue. More than 66 million people in the U.S. today are under extreme heat warnings. A prolonged [延长的] and record-breaking heat wave is shifting from the Northern Plains to the Midwest before moving on to the East Coast. NPR's Amy Held has more. The extreme heat warning means it feels well above 100 degrees. So hot, the National Weather Service advises taking action, namely by avoiding the outdoors. Temperatures are forecast to hit at least 15 degrees above average. Meteorologist [气象学家] Brian Hurley says a heat dome [穹顶] and other factors are behind it. We just came through to summer solstice [夏至]. A lot of sunshine. There's not a lot of precipitation [降水]. You're baking [高温炙烤] during the day, and it's just high pressure persisting. It just kind of feeds off of itself [自我反馈加强]. It's expected to peak around Tuesday, then abate [减弱] slowly. By next week, when the region will see temperatures perhaps 10 degrees above normal. Amid global warming, heat waves are longer, hotter, and have doubled in number in the U.S. since the 1980s. At the weekend box office, How to Train Your Dragon took the top spot once again, with an estimated $37 million in ticket sales. The Universal Pictures live-action remake has made $358 million worldwide so far. A sequel [续集] is already in the works for the $150 million production, which remakes the 2010 animated tale about a Viking boy and his dragon friend. In second place, 28 years later, debuted with $30 million.

 Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Now in its second week, Israel's war with Iran continues, with both countries exchanging missiles [导弹]. In Iran, at least 430 civilians [平民] have been killed, according to the country's health ministry. In Israel, the prime minister's office says at least 24 people have been killed so far. And as NPR's Hadil al-Shalchi reports, all eyes are now on President Trump's next move. Diplomatic efforts by the Europeans in Geneva [日内瓦] didn't seem to lead to much progress in stopping Israel and Iran's attacks on each other. The Iranian foreign minister spoke to his counterparts from the UK, France, and Germany. President Trump dismissed [不理会] the meeting, saying that talking to the U.S. was the only way to achieve an end to the war. Trump said he will decide on whether or not to get the U.S. actively involved in the war by attacking Iran in the next two weeks. Israel wants Trump to bomb the Iranian Fordow nuclear site with a 30,000-pound bomb only the U.S. possesses. The Israeli military said it struck a nuclear facility near the city of Isfahan, the second time it's been targeted. Hadil al-Shalchi, Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, the U.S. is sending Air Force B-2 bombers, allegedly to Guam [关岛]. And while it's not unusual to shift military assets into position to provide a president options, moving the planes doesn't mean Trump has decided to strike. That's the only aircraft, though, that can carry the 30,000-pound bunker-busting [打击掩体] bombs Trump is considering dropping on an Iranian underground nuclear facility. Trump is expected to meet with his national security team in about an hour. Mahmoud Khalil is back in the New York City area after a federal judge yesterday ordered him released from immigration detention [羁押] in Louisiana. The Columbia University graduate and legal permanent resident has been held since early March over his pro-Palestinian activism [活动] at Columbia University. Khalil says he will immediately resume his work on behalf of Palestinian rights. The U.S. government is funding this genocide [种族灭绝], and Columbia University is investing in this genocide. This is why I was protesting. This is why I will continue to protest with every one of you. The Trump administration claims he enabled the spread of anti-Semitism [反犹主义] as it seeks to deport [遣返] him. Major cities from the Midwest to the East Coast are preparing for extreme temperatures as the first heat wave of the summer bears down [逼近] this weekend. And National Weather Service meteorologist [气象学家] Mark Elliott says it's not just about the heat. When you combine the actual high temp and the humidity [湿度], it will really be oppressive [压迫的] and downright [直截了当的] dangerous. Remember, heat is the leading cause of weather-related fatalities [伤亡] in the United States. So this isn't just, you know, oh, it's hot in the summer. This is a really pronounced [显著的] risk out there. And forecasters are warning of potentially dangerous temperatures in the triple digits [华氏度，100度是37.8摄氏度]. Carol Kaye, one of the most prolific [高产的] bassists [贝斯手] in rock and pop history, says she doesn't want to be inducted [进入] into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame [名人堂]. NPR's Chloe Veltman reports the session musician [录音室音乐人，不常出现在台前] was listed as a 2025 inductee alongside the late [已故的] record producer Tom Bell and the late pianist Nikki Hopkins in the musical excellence category. Carol Kaye collaborated on a multitude [大量的] of hits beginning in the 1960s, including this famous Beach Boys song. The 90-year-old bassist issued a statement on Facebook explaining her decision not to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, one of the Rock World's most prestigious [杰出的] accolades [赞扬，荣誉]. In her post, which has since been taken down, Kaye said she disliked the award's focus on individual stardom [明星地位] rather than teamwork. I refuse to be part of a process that is something else rather than what I believe in, she wrote. Neither the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nor Kaye immediately responded to NPR's requests for comment. The 2025 induction ceremony will take place on November 8th at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. A group of Democratic lawmakers in Texas is asking Tesla CEO Elon Musk to delay his rollout [推出] of driverless robo-taxis in order to ensure the vehicles are safe. Musk plans to roll them out this weekend in Texas. Seven lawmakers are asking him to delay the rollout until September. That's when a new law takes effect, requiring several checks before so-called autonomous cars and taxis can be deployed [部署，使用].

 Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. European diplomats [外交官] met with their Iranian counterparts [对等的人] in Geneva [日内瓦] today over the Israel-Iran war, pressing Tehran [德黑兰] to curb [停止] its nuclear program. But the talks ended without an agreement. This is President Trump weighs [考虑] bombing a nuclear facility in Iran, a decision he says he will make in the next two weeks. Speaking to reporters on the tarmac [跑道] in New Jersey, as he heads to his Bedford golf club, Trump says it would be difficult to ask Israel to call off [取消] its attacks on Iran. It's very hard to stop. When you look at it, Israel's doing well in terms of war. And I think you would say that Iran is doing less well. It's a little bit hard to get somebody to stop. But he says he's open to a ceasefire [停火] while negotiations [谈判] take place. Meanwhile, the head of the United Nations is urging [敦促] Israel and Iran to give peace a chance. The Security Council held an emergency meeting today for the second time since Israel began its conflict with Iran eight days ago. NPR's Michelle Kellerman has more. As Israel and Iran continue to trade missile fire, U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres calls this a defining moment for the world. The expansion [扩展] of this conflict could ignite [点燃] a fire that no one can control. We must not let that happen. He tells the U.N. Security Council that the confrontation [对抗] is already taking a terrible toll [伤亡，损失]. Israel says it acted because Iran was racing to build a nuclear bomb. Iran says its nuclear program is peaceful. The head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, says he can guarantee a, quote, watertight inspection system and says a diplomatic solution is in reach. Michelle Kellerman, the State Department. Former Columbia University grad student Mahmoud Khalil will be released on bail [保释金] after spending more than three months in immigration detention [羁押]. He's considered the first student targeted by President Trump's crackdown [压制] on pro-Palestinian protesters. NPR's Juliana Kim has more. A federal judge ordered Mahmoud Khalil's release while he fights the U.S. government's attempt to deport him. The judge ruled that the government's attempt to detain Khalil was, quote, highly, highly, highly unusual. The same judge recently ruled that Khalil's arrest and detention were likely unconstitutional. Khalil is a legal permanent resident. He drew attention with his outspoken [直言不讳的] leadership of pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University. He was initially detained in March after Secretary of State Marco Rubio invoked [援引] a rarely used statute [法令] that allows the secretary to personally deport people. At the time, Rubio accused Khalil of spreading anti-Semitism. Wall Street ended the day in mixed territory. The Dow up 35 points. Gene therapy [基因疗法] can continue working safely for many years. That's according to new research published recently. NPR's Rob Stein has more. Doctors are using gene therapy to treat more and more diseases, but because the technology is still so new, researchers have been wondering whether gene therapies may eventually wear off [效力减弱]. So doctors at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital studied 10 patients who got a single infusion [注入] of a gene therapy to treat severe cases of the blood clotting [堵塞] disorder known as hemophilia B [b型血友病] between 2010 and 2012. In the New England Journal of Medicine, the researchers report that the therapy continued to safely prevent dangerous bleeding episodes [发生] for at least 13 years. The Supreme Court is siding with e-cigarette companies in a ruling that will make it easier to sue over decisions that block their products from the multi-billion dollar vape [吸电子烟] market. Today's opinion comes as companies push back against a years-long federal regulatory [监管] crackdown on e-cigarettes. It's expected to give the companies more control over which judges hear lawsuits filed against the agency. R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company is based in North Carolina, but it's sued in Texas, where other businesses affected by the FDA decisions are located. In April, the justices ruled the other way on vaping, upholding [支持] a ban on most sweet-flavored vapes instituted [实施] after a spike in youth vaping.

 Live from NPR, I'm Lakshmi Singh. Within two weeks, that's when President Trump says he will make a decision on whether to take action in Iran. But NPR's Frank Ordonez reports the White House's correspondence [沟通] between the U.S. and Iran continues. President Trump continues to see an opportunity for a diplomatic [外交的] solution. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt speaking here on his behalf [代表他]. Based on the fact that there's a substantial [大的] chance of negotiations that may or may not take place with Iran in the near future, I will make my decision whether or not to go within the next two weeks. She did not give any specifics on why he feels there's a substantial chance or what would happen in those two weeks, but said any deal must involve Iran agreeing not to enrich uranium [浓缩铀] nor to develop a nuclear bomb. Franco Ordonez, the White House. The White House announcement coming hours after Iranian missiles struck sites across Israel today, including the largest hospital in southern Israel. The Associated Press capturing the aftermath [后续] of the attack that local authorities say wounded [伤及] more than 200 people. Here's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In this hospital, there are patients who are immobile [不能移动的]. They can't even move. Right next to it, there's a children's ward [病区], a baby's ward, infants [婴儿]. They target it. Israeli strikes targeting Iran's nuclear infrastructure continued overnight. The Arak heavy water reactor [重水反应堆] in central Iran was hit. The International Atomic Energy Agency says the site was not operational and contained no nuclear material. The Los Angeles Dodgers [洛杉矶城的棒球队] have denied entry to Immigration and Customs Enforcement [移民和边境管理局，此处指搜查非法移民的] agents. The team posted on exit agents arrived this morning, asked to get to the parking lots, and were denied. The Dodgers say tonight's game will be played as scheduled. L.A.'s been wrecked [打击] by unrest [动荡] over federal immigration raids. Juneteenth [庆祝黑奴解放] events are being held nationwide, marking the day when enslaved [被奴役的] people in Texas were told they were free. Rob Salinas reports a Galveston church is expecting a special guest at its event this hour. It started with an idea. We had a thought that it's the 160th anniversary of Juneteenth, and who better to come and to be in attendance than the person that signed Juneteenth into a federal holiday. Rev. Lernette Patterson is the pastor [牧师] at Reedy Chapel in Galveston. She says the church sent a letter inviting former President Joe Biden to visit. After we heard about his health concern, we were, you know, we were a little doubtful that he might come. Months went by and no word on whether he would attend until a recent phone call. They called us, and I couldn't believe that it was actually his office calling. It's like, really? I'm Rob Salinas in Houston. U.S. stock markets are closed today in observance of Juneteenth. Today, President Trump signed an executive order that shields [保护] the Chinese-owned TikTok from a U.S. ban for 90 more days. TikTok's third extension since Trump returned to office, as NPR's John Ruich reports. On Air Force One on Tuesday, Trump was asked if he had legal basis [法律条款支持] and said yes. Some legal experts dispute [争论] that. You know, the TikTok law allows for one 90-day extension, and only if the president certifies [确认] to Congress that a spinoff [剥离] from ByteDance is in the works [正在进行中]. NPR's John Ruich reporting. The Buss family reportedly selling its controlling stake [控股] of the Los Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN and other outlets citing unnamed sources. The Lakers may be sold for a $10 billion valuation [估值], which would be the highest ever for a U.S. professional sports franchise [特许经营者]. YouTube's one of the world's most popular websites, with more than 120 million viewers each day. NPR's Netta Ulibi reports the way people are watching videos has changed a lot since YouTube started 20 years ago. Believe it or not, it seems attention spans [专注时长] have gotten longer. The average YouTube user spends more than half their time watching videos that are longer than 20 minutes, like this comedy series called The Messy Group Chat. Each episode [集] is about half an hour, about the same as an old-fashioned [此处指传统的] TV sitcom [情景喜剧]. And as it happens, according to a company called Tubular Labs, which tracks YouTube viewership, this trend coincides [符合] with another one. More people, about 40% right now, are watching YouTube on their televisions.

 Live from NPR, I'm Lakshmi Singh. President Trump will not yet say whether U.S. forces would strike Iranian nuclear facilities [核设施]. NPR's Frank Ordonez has more on the prospect [可能] of U.S. involvement in hostilities [敌对] between Iran and Israel. Speaking to reporters outside the White House, while workers lifted a large flagpole [旗杆], President Trump blamed Tehran for not negotiating [谈判] with him two weeks ago. But he wouldn't say specifically whether he would order U.S. strikes against Iran. I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do. I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate. And I said, why didn't you negotiate with me before? All this death. Israel and Iran continue to trade airstrikes in a conflict that now has entered its sixth day. Trump spoke to reporters a day after he met with his national security team to discuss U.S. future involvement. Franco Ordonez, the White House. The U.S. Supreme Court's conservative [保守派的] majority is affirming [确认] Tennessee's ban on certain gender-affirming care [变性手术] for transgender minors [青少年], dealing a major blow [打击] to trans rights in the U.S. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts says a law does not violate the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause [条款]. But trans rights advocates [支持者] argue the ban is a form of discrimination and is unconstitutional. NPR's Nina Totenberg reports on the implications [影响] for patients in more than two dozen states with similar laws. It leaves it to the states to do what they want on this score, at least until more information might suggest that the scientific data is wrong. Basically, this leaves it to the states. About half the states will have bans and half the states will not. And kids will have to travel to other states to get treatment. NPR's Nina Totenberg reporting. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady this afternoon. That was widely expected. NPR's Scott Horsley reports Fed policymakers signal they still expect to cut rates by an average of half a percentage point later this year. The central bank has been in no rush to cut interest rates despite frequent jawboning [施压] from President Trump. Fed policymakers are concerned that Trump's tariffs could rekindle [重新点燃] inflation, so they're holding borrowing costs steady for the time being. Forecasts released at the conclusion of today's meeting show members of the Fed's rate-setting committee still expect to lower interest rates later this year at a pace similar to what they were projecting in March. Policymakers have revised some of their other forecasts [预测]. They're now expecting somewhat higher inflation and unemployment and slower economic growth than they were three months ago. Scott Horsley, Washington. U.S. stocks end the day mixed with the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing down 44 points to settle at 42,171. The S&P is off slightly. The Nasdaq closed up 25 points. The Salvadoran [萨尔瓦多] investigative journalist [调查记者] may be deported [遣返] after he was arrested over the weekend near Atlanta while covering the No Kings protests against the government's immigration policies. Mario Guevara has been transferred to federal custody [羁押]. Guevara is well known for documenting immigration raids [搜捕] and arrests, as seen in this 2019 mini-opinion documentary series by The New York Times. The New York Times reports today that Guevara's attorneys say their client was authorized to work in the U.S. He has an application pending for a green card. Addiction to social media and video games is linked to a higher risk to a young person's mental health. NPR's Ritu Chatterjee with details. Researchers looked at data from a long-term study that followed more than 4,000 kids for four years, starting at when they were between 9 and 10 years old. By age 14, about a third of the kids had become increasingly addicted [沉迷] to social media. About a quarter had become increasingly addicted to their mobile phone and more than 40% to video games. Study author Yunyu Xiao is a professor at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York. And these youths are significantly more likely to report suicidal [自杀的] behaviors and thoughts. Xiao says researchers and health care providers often use screen time to gauge [衡量] problematic use among teens. But her findings show that they should be looking for symptoms [症状] of addiction to screens in social media and young people. The study is published in JAMA. The Dows closed down 44 points.

 Live from NPR, I'm Lakshmi Singh. President Trump's met with his national security team in the Situation Room as the conflict between Israel and Iran escalates [升级]. On social media, Trump warned Iran to make a deal on its nuclear program. In an apparent attempt to increase the pressure, he also called Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei [哈梅内伊], a, quote, easy target. But Trump said he's safe for now. Jordan and Lebanon are among several countries caught in the flight path between Israel and Iran's air war. As NPR's Jaina Raff reports from Oman, people are coping [对应] in different ways. For citizens, there's nothing they can do but watch. And that's exactly what many are doing. This is a rooftop bar near Beirut [贝鲁特] on the weekend. Lebanese musician Ayla Atayek plays saxophone [萨克斯], while diners snap photos [拍照] of Iranian missiles in the sky. The video went viral [火了]. Atayek, whose stage name is O. Alan Sachs, tells NPR he kept playing because he wanted to make people feel better. It gives this love to everyone who's feeling emotionally disturbed to make them feel good. In Jordan, too, despite the danger, people have hurried outside to watch when they hear air raid sirens [防空警报]. So much so that the government has warned them to stay indoors. Jaina Raff, Oman. Top law enforcement officials on Capitol Hill briefed [汇报] senators on security protocols [安全方案] today following the targeted political assassination of one Minnesota state lawmaker. More from NPR's Deirdre Walsh. Senators from both parties say the Capitol Police need more money to investigate threats and step up security for lawmakers. Connecticut Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal says he doesn't plan to change how he does his job. The solution here is not to limit accessibility. It's to provide security and deter [威吓] these incidences of political violence. Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn says there has to be a balance when it comes to adding resources. It's trying to make sure that it's proportional to [成比例的] the threat and not an overreaction. Congress could increase the U.S. Capitol Police's budget in the annual spending bill for the agency this fall to address the uptick in threats. Deirdre Walsh, the Capitol. Downtown Los Angeles is no longer under the overnight curfew [宵禁] that was imposed in response to unrest [动荡] over federal immigration raids [搜查] and the deployment [部署] of the National Guard and Marines. Active duty Marines now being deployed, escalating tensions in our city. Democratic Senator Alex Badi of California speaking on the Senate floor earlier today, denouncing [谴责] the military's presence without the governor's consent [同意]. But he drew headlines last week when he was handcuffed [铐上] after being forcibly removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference, in which he defended the immigration enforcement actions. From Washington, this is NPR. Two new major wildfires are burning out of control in Utah since they erupted [开始] in recent days. Each zero percent contained [被控制]. Local media report that high winds help the larger of the two blazes [大火]. The France Canyon fire double over the last, double in size, that is, over the last 24 hours to more than 4,700 acres. A major pop star joins the race to score 2025's unofficial song of the summer. NPR's Stephen Thompson with details. 2024 gave pop fans a crowded race for the year's unofficial song of the summer, as major stars and new faces flooded the market with massive pop hits. This year, it's been slower, as the pop charts have been loaded with last year's hits, alongside new ones from the country star Morgan Wallen and the ever-present [无处不在的] hit Ordinary by the singer Alex Warren. This week, the song of the summer sweepstakes [竞争] finally gets a rowdy [吵闹的] pop contender, Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild. Manchild is off to a good start [开局不错]. It debuts [首发] on this week's Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1. The only commercial robo-taxi operating in the U.S. so far says it's expanding across the San Francisco Bay Area. Alphabet, the parent company of the self-driving ride-hailing service Waymo, says it plans to reach paying customers in more parts of Los Angeles as well, starting tomorrow.

 Live from NPR, I'm Lakshmi Singh. Israel and Iran are ordering evacuations [撤离] in parts of both Tel Aviv and Tehran as fighting intensifies [加强]. NPR's Jackie Northam reports both sides sent out warnings as they continue to target key installations [设施] and communities. A television news presenter was on air describing the sound of nearby Israeli bombing when a massive blast hit Iran's state-run television, darkening the set and scattering [散落] debris [瓦砾]. Much of the building was in flames. Israel had earlier ordered people living in that area of Tehran to evacuate, warning it would attack a nearby military infrastructure. Israel hit other strategic targets, including an Iranian military headquarters. Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps ordered people to evacuate from Benai Brak, a largely ultra-Orthodox [极端正统派] area of Tel Aviv. And Iranian ballistic missiles rained down on several Israeli cities. In Minnesota, the suspect in the violent attacks on four people, including two Democratic state lawmakers over the weekend, has made his first court appearance. Vance Belter faces state and federal charges. He did not enter a plea [没有表示认罪或者不认罪] today. Authorities say Belter went to several state lawmakers' homes while impersonating [假装] an officer. He encountered State Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, early Saturday. They sustained [承受] multiple gunshot wounds and survived. Police say Belter also went to state representative Melissa Hortman's home. She and her husband, Mark, were later found shot to death. Earlier today, U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson said while the motive is under investigation, at least one thing's clear. This was a political assassination [暗杀], which is not a word we use very often in the United States, let alone here in Minnesota. It's a chilling [令人胆寒的] attack on our democracy, on our way of life. It's only the most recent example of violent political extremism in this country, and that's a trend that's been increasing in recent years. That's U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories have approved a new $7.4 billion bankruptcy [破产] settlement [和解] with Purdue Pharma. The company's the maker of OxyContin, a pain drug that helped fuel the U.S. opioid [阿片类（上瘾止痛药）] crisis. Here's NPR's Brian Mann. This deal is different from a bankruptcy plan overturned [推翻] by the U.S. Supreme Court last year in that it doesn't force people to give up individual lawsuits against members of the Sackler family who own Purdue Pharma. According to the company, the Sacklers are expected to contribute billions of dollars to the settlement. New York Attorney General Letitia James said this deal will hold the Sackler family accountable for what she described as their leading role in fueling the epidemic of opioid addiction. The Sacklers deny any wrongdoing. This deal is expected to be approved by a U.S. bankruptcy court and would add to more than $50 billion in opioid settlements already agreed to by corporations that made and sold addictive opioid pain medications. It's NPR. A new report concludes that a dangerous new nuclear arms race [核军备竞赛] is emerging at a time when arms control regimes are severely weakened. That is the latest annual assessment of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. It says nearly all of the nine nuclear arms states, such as the U.S., Russia, and China, are upgrading and expanding their weapons. The other nuclear-armed countries include North Korea, Israel, India, Pakistan, the U.K., and France. Average prices of the most popular concert tickets have dropped for the first time in more than a decade. But as NPR's Netta Ulabi tells us, that does not mean they're anything close to a bargain [大便宜]. It's still not cheap to see superstars like Beyoncé [碧昂斯] in the flesh [此处指真人]. Put them hands together. We clapping. Concert ticket prices have soared [骤升] over the past 20 years, and the average cost of a ticket to any of the top 100 tours is $120. Still, that's 6 percent less than last year, according to the industry group Polestar. It's the first time in more than a decade, except for the pandemic, that ticket prices have dropped. Polestar says the lower prices reflect uneven economic conditions. And while the cost of the cheapest tickets are going down, the best ones are only getting more expensive. U.S. stocks have ended the day higher. The Dow closed up more than 300 points, or roughly three-quarters of a percent, ending the day at 42,515. The S&P was up 56 points, nearly 1 percent. And the Nasdaq closed up more than 1.5 percent. It's NPR.

 Live from NPR in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Israel has launched a new wave of strikes on Iran's capital, Tehran [德黑兰], today, fueling concerns that the fighting could escalate [升级] into a wider regional conflict. The rare daytime assault came as Iran hit back at Israel again, with some getting through Israel's protective system. Israeli ambassador [大使] to the U.S., Michael Leiter. So there's about 10 to 15 percent of these ballistic missiles [弹道导弹] that get through. We sustained significant attacks last night. We have over 10 fatalities [死亡] and hundreds wounded [受伤]. The Iranian health ministry says there are more than 200 casualties since the beginning of the fighting. This as both countries assess [评估] the damage. Meanwhile, President Trump is warning Iran against hitting American assets [资产，设施]. Former CENTCOM commander General Joseph Votel says such a strike would be dealt with quickly. If U.S. assets, U.S. military or embassies or other things are attacked, I would expect that there would be a very swift [迅速的] response to that by the United States, as there should be. Both men speaking their two ABCs this week. President Trump leaves today for the G7 in the Canadian province of Alberta. The annual meeting of advanced economies comes amid high international tensions with the Iran-Israel conflict and tariffs that Trump himself imposed. NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben has more. The White House has said Trump hopes to talk about a range of topics, including migration [移民], critical minerals [重要的矿产] and trade. Trump has imposed tariffs on goods from all fellow G7 members. It is likely that he will talk to other leaders about striking deals on tariffs. Several non-G7 leaders have been invited, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum, meaning Trump could have one-on-one conversations with them. Trump's last Canadian G7 ended with him insulting [侮辱] then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over tariffs. This year's summit may also be tense between the U.S. and Canada, as Trump has repeatedly said he wants the country to be the 51st state. A manhunt [搜寻] is underway for Vance Belter, the suspect in the shootings in Minnesota yesterday that left one state lawmaker dead, another one wounded. NPR's Meg Anderson has more. Early Saturday morning, Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in their home by a man impersonating [假装] a police officer. In another attack, State Senator John Hoffman and his wife were also shot in their home. They survived. State police said they found a hit list of individuals inside the suspect's car. That list included his victims [受害者] and other prominent [显著的] Democrats. Governor Tim Walz has called it a targeted political attack. That would make it part of a larger trend of rising political violence in the country. In a study last year, researchers found nearly half of the state lawmakers they surveyed [调查] had experienced threats or attacks. A new South African study finds the dehorning [除去头上的角] rhinos [犀牛] significantly reduces their poaching [盗猎]. Some rhino species [品种] are critically endangered. Kate Bartlett has more. Tourists traveling to South Africa's national parks might be disappointed to see one of the region's most iconic [标志性的] animals without its famous horn. But researchers say the removal of their horns could be saving their lives. New research in the journal Science found removing the horn, sought after by poachers, reduced the killing of the rhinos by almost 80 percent. And the process does not hurt the animal, conservationists say. The horn is falsely believed by many in Asia to hold medicinal properties [药效], driving the massive illegal trade. Poaching remains high in South Africa, with over 100 rhinos killed in the first three months of this year alone. At the weekend box office, How to Train Your Dragon debuted [首映] in the top spot with an estimated $83 million in ticket sales. The live-action adaptation of the beloved animated franchise [系列] follows the unlikely friendship between a young Viking named Hiccup and a dragon called Toothless. In second place, Lilo & Stitch, the hybrid live-action remake, with $15 million, pushing its total domestic take to more than $386 million. In third place, Materialists, with $12 million. It's a modern-day New York love story. I'm Janine Herbst, and you're listening to NPR from Washington.
