Officials in Nepal say the number of confirmed deaths in Wednesday's huge floods and landslides has now risen to 579, and the number of those unaccounted for has also increased to nearly 2,000. Chinese state media say five people have died and hundreds are missing in Tibet. We hear from a Nepalese climate envoy and a BBC China analyst.Also on the programme: a Sudanese businessman tells us about life in Khartoum as a state of emergency is lifted; and a musical memorial to the father of modern computing, Alan Turing.(Photo: People run during a rescue operation by a Nepal Army helicopter in the aftermath of flash floods, in Hatigauda village, Nuwakot district, Nepal, 28 August 2026.

Moscow Police repeatedly warned that the flood of online sleuthing surrounding the University of Idaho murders was creating real problems for the investigation. As speculation exploded across Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube and other platforms, amateur investigators began naming supposed suspects, dissecting victims' relationships, scrutinizing friends and acquaintances, and circulating theories that often had little or no evidentiary foundation. Police stressed that rumors, misinformation and unsupported accusations could damage innocent people, overwhelm investigators with useless tips and make it harder to separate legitimate leads from internet noise. They also urged the public to stop contacting people connected to the case directly and to send credible information through official tip lines instead of trying to conduct their own parallel investigation.The department's frustration grew as online speculation increasingly targeted people whom investigators had already looked at and, in some cases, publicly ruled out. Moscow Police made clear that the public did not have access to the full body of evidence and therefore could not reliably reconstruct the case from scattered videos, social-media posts, photographs or partial timelines. Officials also warned that harassment and false accusations could have lasting consequences for people who were simply witnesses, friends, former partners or members of the community. Their message was essentially that crowdsourced attention could be useful when it produced genuine evidence, but internet vigilantism was something else entirely. In the end, Moscow Police treated the sleuth culture surrounding the murders as both a distraction and a potential threat to the integrity of the investigation, repeatedly asking people to let detectives follow the evidence rather than allowing rumor to dictate who should be considered suspicious.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Daily Bread Bible Journal → https://israelguys.link/dailybread-JRN    Hamas has been probing the waters with Israel's defenses yet again by launching a form of attack we've not seen in a couple of years.

The federal government claims more than 250,000 noncitizens are on voter rolls in four U.S. states. Officials in those states, though, expressed doubts about the accuracy of those claims and the federal government has not publicly explained how it came to those conclusions. We look into the claims, and why state election officials are worried about what the government alleges.This episode: senior political correspondent Tamara Keith, voting correspondent Miles Parks, and political correspondent Jude Joffe-Block.This podcast was produced and edited by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs.Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

DFW Airport is moving forward with Islamic foot-washing stations inside Terminal D bathrooms, and the details are out. The privately funded project registers at around $300,000 and puts dedicated Wudu ablution stations in both the men's and women's concourse restrooms. Officials say it's about keeping floors dry and sinks intact after travelers wash their feet in regular fixtures. Completion is targeted for the end of the year. Terminal D handles the bulk of international traffic. Similar stations already exist at places like Chicago O'Hare and Houston Bush, and DFW has had limited ablution facilities near its interfaith chapel for years. This expands the practice into the main restrooms. The filing calls it basic infrastructure for safety and sanitation. Plenty of Americans are asking a different question: why special plumbing for one ritual while every other traveler just uses the sinks? This isn't about private funding or wet floors alone. It's about what airports decide is worth accommodating in the middle of Texas. Watch the full conversation for the filing details, the practical defense, the cultural signal, and the commonsense pushback.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Thursday says the U.S. is unveiling what he calls the toughest sanctions in history on Iran. Bessent says he will announce the details on Monday. He says the measures will target Iran's ability to generate revenue and support its military and is warning countries and companies that continue trading with Iran that they could also face U-S penalties.The U.S. military on Friday says all eight people aboard a charter plane are dead, after it crashed at a remote radar site in western Alaska. Officials say the twin-engine Cessna was carrying two pilots and six passengers when it went down on THursday about 450 miles west of Anchorage. Air Force Lieutenant General Robert Davis called it ‘a devastating loss for our military family and the communities we serve.' Senator Lisa Murkowski offered condolences to the victims' families. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.A popular election forecaster, Cook Political Report, has shifted Senate races in red states into toss-up territory. Control of the senate as a whole is a toss-up, but many analysts predict that socialist wins in battleground primaries will hurt Democrats' chances.

Photo: Cars destroyed in the Mukluk Fire on August 18, 2026. (Courtesy Pyotr Dobrotvorsky) Residents of the eastern Interior community of Tok, Alaska are being ordered to evacuate their homes after a wildfire broke out Monday morning. What officials are calling the Mukluk Fire was reported shortly before noon in the backyard of a residence on the Alaska Highway, near milepost 1316, as the Alaska Desk’s Shelby Herbert from KUAC reports. As of Monday evening, it had grown to over 1,500 acres and was spreading to the east and northeast. Sam Harrel, a spokesperson for the Alaska Division of Forestry and Fire Protection said hot, dry, and windy weather has made the situation dangerous. He said in a brief phone interview that state troopers and firefighters are going door-to-door in the area north of the Alaska Highway asking people to leave. Level 3 ‘Go’ evacuations — urging residents to leave immediately — were underway from Sundog Trail to Midnight Sun Drive. Residents in that area were being asked to evacuate to the local Mushers Hall and the Tok School. Pets are being accepted in both locations. Officials have also cautioned people in the area to avoid downed power lines. Harrell also said a helicopter initial attack team from Fairbanks has been dispatched to the fire, as well as fire engines from as far away as Mat-Su and Kenai. He was not able to confirm, if — or how many — structures have burned. Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R-AK) issued a disaster declaration Tuesday, activating the state's public and individual assistance program. Fur seals on St. Paul Island, Alaska. (Photo: Allen Shimada / NOAA NMFS/OST/AMD) Dogs have long been banned on the Pribilof Islands in Alaska, under a rule imposed by the federal government to protect the world’s largest concentration of northern fur seals, but that is set to change. The Alaska Beacon reports that under a new interim rule enacted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), dogs may be brought to the islands, but only for the specific purpose of hunting for rats. Dogs allowed on St. Paul Island or any other part of the archipelago must be trained and certified to detect and catch rats, and their stays are limited to 180 days. The Pribilofs have managed to stay rat-free, even as other Alaska islands and coastal areas have become infested with rodents. The new NOAA rule is intended to keep it that way. Rats are not native to any part of Alaska, but have been introduced by ships over time. They have infested several coastal regions and become one of the most destructive invasive species in the state. There have been instances of rat sighting on St. Paul over the years, but most were caught immediately in traps set up at the harbor. One rat escaped that gauntlet in 2018 and was found dead 10 months later. The new rule went into effect on August 6. Bears Ears National Monument in Utah. (Photo: Bob Wick / Bureau of Land Management) Mining companies are setting their sights on two national monuments in Utah. KNAU's Chris Clements reports the monuments were slashed by President Donald Trump last month, opening them up to new mining claims. Seven mining claims were filed in Bears Ears National Monument a day after President Trump announced the cuts, with two filed in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument less than a month after that. Autumn Gillard is a member of the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah. “It’s just very unfortunate that our public lands and Native American ancestral homelands are being put up so quickly on the chopping block.” She worries if the claims one day become mines, they will hurt a unique landscape that is home to thousands of cultural sites, but Brian Somers of the Utah Mining Association says he is confident any mining would be responsible. “We can develop our minerals in a way that respects the environment.” And, he says, mining the monuments for minerals like uranium could help reduce dependence on foreign adversaries. It is unclear if the U.S. Bureau of Land Management will approve the claims, since Trump's executive orders only allow them after September 11. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Chris and Kyle reunite for a European Championships wrap up that includes the women's 800m race everyone came to Birmingham for, Jakob's comments on Josh Kerr, Amy Hunt's four gold medals, Andreas Almgren's 10K performance and more.Discussed in this episode:– Audrey Werro wins the women's 800m in 1:54.81 — a 44-year-old championship record: The race everyone wanted. Hodgkinson takes the front after the first bend, Werro goes wide on the back straight and takes the lead at 300m. First lap 56.45, 29.2 through 600, Werro opens the gap off the final turn, Hodgkinson closes half a meter — and that's it. It is the only two sub-1:54 performances since the 1980s. Keely takes silver in 1:55.01 — also under the old record. No one else was within three seconds. Werro's season: won all six outdoor races, PB from 1:55.91 to 1:53.80, four of the five fastest times in the world this year.– The semi controversy: Werro was clipped from behind and fell late in Thursday's semi, hit the rail, was limping afterward. Officials correctly advanced her to the final. A lot of people argued she got a free semi and that argument is wrong.– On writing off Keely: That's an overreaction. She set an indoor world record and an outdoor PB this season. She hasn't been off a major podium in 12 straight championships. – The Femke Factor: 1:55.54 for bronze ties Ellen van Langen's 34-year-old Dutch record from the 1992 Olympic final. She was the only athlete in the field to PB.– Jakob Ingebrigtsen says athletes skipping championships are “ruining” the sport: Three days after winning the European 5K in his first race in 11 months, Jakob told the BBC he was “very” disappointed Josh Kerr skipped the European Championships. His argument: championships exist so the best athletes compete, it's not really for athletes to choose where they participate, and not showing up damages the sport.+ More from European Championships including Georgia Hunter-Bell wins the European 1500m — her third major title of 2026: 4:07.78 in a slow, tactical final, gliding clear. Klaudia Kązmierska silver (4:08.80), Patricia Silva bronze (4:09.22) + Amy Hunt sweeps four golds: 100m, 200m, 4x100m, mixed 4x100m — an unprecedented haul.– 2028 US Olympic Trials: Hayward Field, June 17-22, six days: USATF confirmed Hayward Field for the sixth straight Trials. The bigger story is the format: six days, no rest days, the shortest Trials since 1964. Every Trials from 1992-2024 ran ten days. Why: SoFi Stadium is hosting both the July 14 opening ceremony and swimming, so LA28 flipped the calendar. Track runs July 15-24.____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSVELOUS: VELOUS makes recovery footwear designed to help runners bounce back faster between sessions.

On today’s “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” we catch up with NPR Congressional Reporter and WABE alum Sam Gringlas. He’s currently following Democratic Incumbent Jon Ossoff and his effort to reclaim his U.S. Senate seat this November. Polling data currently has Ossoff leading his Republican opponent, Mike Collins, but there are still several miles on the campaign trail until the midterm election. Gringlas shares his firsthand look at how voters are reacting during Senator Ossoff’s campaign stops. Atlanta is widely known as the city in a forest, but that forest is depleting. Of the city’s more than 84,000 acres, almost 40,000 acres are covered by its tree canopy. However, that latest assessment by Georgia Tech shows Atlanta has lost a quarter of an acre of trees every day between 2008 and 2023. The city had a goal of reaching 50% canopy coverage, but Atlanta moved further away from that goal in the latest assessment, now dropping to 45.7% tree coverage. Officials from Trees Atlanta and Georgia Tech provide more details on the data, and what’s leading to the disappearing canopy.

DFW Airport is moving forward with Islamic foot-washing stations inside Terminal D bathrooms, and the details are out. The privately funded project registers at around $300,000 and puts dedicated Wudu ablution stations in both the men's and women's concourse restrooms. Officials say it's about keeping floors dry and sinks intact after travelers wash their feet in regular fixtures. Completion is targeted for the end of the year. Terminal D handles the bulk of international traffic. Similar stations already exist at places like Chicago O'Hare and Houston Bush, and DFW has had limited ablution facilities near its interfaith chapel for years. This expands the practice into the main restrooms. The filing calls it basic infrastructure for safety and sanitation. Plenty of Americans are asking a different question: why special plumbing for one ritual while every other traveler just uses the sinks? This isn't about private funding or wet floors alone. It's about what airports decide is worth accommodating in the middle of Texas. Watch the full conversation for the filing details, the practical defense, the cultural signal, and the commonsense pushback.

(Courtesy Scorched Earth Services) A wildland firefighter from the Northwest Arctic community of Noorvik, Alaska died Tuesday. Federal officials say 41-year-old Leslie R. Washington worked for a Huslia-based company called Scorched Earth Services. It was contracted to help fight a 30,000 acre fire on the Minnesota-Canada border in the Superior National Forest. Washington and his team were in northern Minnesota when he died after an undisclosed medical emergency. In a statement, U.S. Wildland Fire Service Chief Brian Fennessy said the agency is “heartbroken at the loss of a wildland firefighter who died while protecting others.” Washington's wife told KOTZ news she remembers her husband as humble, kind, and devoted to his family. She said the loss is being felt throughout Noorvik and across Alaska. She said she was not ready to talk further. The Department of the Interior says it is working with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) to support Washington's family, coworkers, and the broader firefighting community as they grieve. Scorched Earth Services says Washington's remains will be sent from Minnesota home to Noorvik. Washington was one of dozens of firefighters from rural Alaska communities including Huslia, Selawik, and Fort Yukon, deployed this season through Scorched Earth Services. Officials say more information will be released in the coming days. Washington was assigned to the Bear Trap Fire. Officials said Thursday it is 44% contained. Lisa Smolenska, left, hands a bouquet to a customer on August 9, 2026 in Eugene, Oreg. as part of a fundraiser to help the Warm Springs Animal Relief Fund. (Photo: Brian Bull) While crews mop up wildfires on Oregon's Warm Springs reservation, a relief drive is underway to help affected horses and livestock. Brian Bull of Underscore Native News and KLCC reports. The goal of the Warm Springs Animal Relief Fund was to raise $15,000 for hay, feed, and care for animals who have lost forage and grazing land. At last check, they had nearly twice that amount. The fundraising efforts are extending beyond central Oregon. Last Sunday, Lisa Smolenska sold bouquets donated by Charles Little Flower Farm outside Lox, Stocks, & Bagels in Eugene, Oreg. She raised nearly $700. “This has got to be ongoing because the animals are going to need forage over the wintertime as well and beyond. I don’t think we really know how long it’ll take to regenerate.” Warm Springs rancher Shana Johnson says she is happy that there is a fund. Her horses and cows lost 99% of their grazing district to the Beachcomb Fire. “When the fire started they all started coming home in groups, and there is absolutely nothing to eat.” Smolenska says she will do another flower fundraiser this Sunday. Tribal member Franc Fernandez, left, addresses attendees of community dinner as Sasha Ivan Sobolef of the Alaska Native Brotherhood holds burning sage on August 4, 2026. (Photo: Baiz Hoen / KFSK) The Petersburg Indian Association recently announced that they will be repatriating the remains of a 6-month-old Tlingit girl. She is one of three ancestors the tribe plans to inter in Petersburg, Alaska. KFSK's Baiz Hoen has the story. Stephanie Aikins is the administrative assistant for Petersburg's tribal government, the Petersburg Indian Association. She spearheaded the repatriation project, and at a community dinner this month, she said she has been working on this since last May. “ This is uncharted territory. There’s a lot of clan objects that have been taken and returned, not many who are ancestors.” The tribe applied for a grant to help cover the cost of the repatriation efforts through the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), a federal law that requires federal agencies and institutions that receive federal money to return important remains and objects of cultural patrimony to lineal descendants, culturally affiliated Indian Tribes, and Native Hawaiian organizations. Petersburg's tribe received about $24,000 for this project. The infant will be one of three ancestors the tribe plans to inter in Petersburg. The other two have been in the tribe's possession for over 10 years. One is a male estimated to be about 300 years old. He was found when the City of Petersburg was building the City Reservoir in the 1950s, and was given to the local high school. After it was found that he was of Native descent, the ancestor was given to the local tribe in 2013. The other, a jawbone, was found around the 1980s about 10 miles south of town on the beach. Aikins says the USFS had possession until 2011, when the ancestor was transferred to the tribe. He is thought to be prehistoric, based on the report. Aikins says that the remains of the 6-month-old girl are currently being held at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture in Seattle. Aikins will be among a group of three traveling to Seattle on September 1 to receive the remains. They will return to Petersburg on September 4, and plan to host a ceremony at the airport that day for the infant girl's return. “She has been gone away from her land for almost 100 years, and she will be back on her land for the first time on September 4.” Aikins says that the tribe will host a larger ceremony later in the fall, where they will inter the remains of the girl along with the two other ancestors already in their possession.

When Head Start was founded, the idea was simple: give low-income kids a running start before kindergarten — not just with preschool classes and childcare, but with health screenings and support for their families.Some 60 years later, it serves more than 750,000 children — and their families — every year.But the Trump administration thinks the program is too costly and inefficient. Last week, it proposed the most significant changes to Head Start in decades. The proposed rules would eliminate many of the federal standards for how programs are run and hand those decisions to the states. They would also cap how much programs can spend on administrative costs.Officials say the changes would save money and open up new slots for hundreds of thousands of kids. Critics say stripping these standards is the first step towards dismantling the program entirely.  What does the evidence say about whether Head Start works? And what happens if those federal standards go away?Find more of our programs online.

Officials said Bryan Kohberger used a large fixed-blade knife to murder Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin inside the King Road house on November 13, 2022. The most important clue pointing investigators toward the type of weapon was the tan leather knife sheath found on the bed beside Mogen. The sheath carried Ka-Bar and U.S. Marine Corps markings, leading investigators to believe the killer had used a military-style Ka-Bar knife or a similar fixed-blade weapon. Prosecutors later disclosed evidence indicating that Kohberger had purchased a Ka-Bar knife and sheath online months before the murders, strengthening their theory about the weapon used in the attack. The sheath also became one of the most important pieces of physical evidence in the case because investigators recovered male DNA from its button snap that was ultimately linked to Kohberger. Despite the extensive injuries suffered by all four victims and the evidence pointing toward a large knife, investigators never recovered the actual murder weapon.Finding that knife became an important part of the investigation after the killings. Authorities searched Kohberger's apartment in Washington, his office, his Hyundai Elantra and his family's property in Pennsylvania, while investigators reconstructed his movements before and after the murders using surveillance footage, cellphone information and other evidence. According to the prosecution's reconstruction, Kohberger left Moscow after the killings and drove an indirect route through rural areas before eventually returning to Pullman, creating numerous possible places where the knife could have been discarded or hidden. Investigators searched for evidence that might reveal where the weapon went, but no knife was ever publicly identified as the murder weapon. That left the sheath discovered at King Road as the strongest physical remnant of the weapon authorities believed had been carried into the house. By the conclusion of the case, prosecutors had built their theory around the Ka-Bar-style knife, Kohberger's alleged purchase of such a weapon and the DNA recovered from the abandoned sheath, even though the knife itself remained missing.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Fauci is once again in our face. The key question is whether he will face real accountability—or whether the current proceedings are just political theater.  The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is under fresh scrutiny concerning Fauci's role and the decisions he made during the pandemic. Officials repeatedly treated him as an expert they could trust, even though serious questions remain about whether his earlier actions may have helped set the pandemic in motion in to begin with.

Deaths from the Ebola outbreak in eastern DR Congo have crossed the 2,000 mark. Officials have described the outbreak as the fastest spreading in the country's history, blaming the rapid rates of infection on late detection and insecurity. The confirmation makes it the second most deadly outbreak, behind the 2018-2020 one which killed 2,300 people. Over 4,300 infections have been confirmed since the outbreak was declared in May. We hear from the World Health Organisation on containment measures. And as extreme weather patterns including flooding and heatwaves become more frequent, we look at some of the skills you need to survive.

DiJonai Carrington was EJECTED from the Chicago Sky's matchup against the Indiana Fever after a hard foul on Sophie Cunningham during a layup attempt — but what happened AFTER the ejection has ignited an entirely new WNBA controversy.Officials reviewed the play and upgraded Carrington's foul to a Flagrant 2, resulting in an automatic ejection. Carrington then took to Threads and posted “WHITE PRIVILEGE,” tagging the Indiana Fever.Sophie Cunningham wasn't buying it.Cunningham pushed back on the suggestion that race had anything to do with the decision, pointing out that she herself has previously been ejected after committing a hard foul.Now the incident is exploding far beyond basketball and reigniting a much larger conversation surrounding race, politics, accountability and identity politics inside professional sports.Was the Flagrant 2 justified? And what do you make of Carrington's “WHITE PRIVILEGE” response?Sound off in the comments.
