British PM Sunak Calls Election, Russia Nuclear Weapons Drills, Spring Housing Market
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak calls a general election as he trails the opposition in the polls. Russia's military has started tactical nuclear weapons drills in response to what the Kremlin says are growing threats from the West amid the war in Ukraine. And there aren't a lot of homes on the market, but those that are for sale are selling fast as competition among would-be buyers is keeping prices high.

The Sunday Story: Life in the Shadow of the Philippines' Drug War
"They can just kill anyone."
Since 2016, thousands have been killed in the Philippines' war on drugs. The bloody campaign began under the Philippines' last president, Rodrigo Duterte, who said he would be "happy to slaughter" three million drug addicts in the country. When current president Ferdinand Marcos Jr. took office in 2022, he promised to end this spree of state-sanctioned killings of alleged drug users and sellers, and focus on rehabilitation instead.
In today's episode of The Sunday Story, NPR's Emily Feng travels to the Philippines to see what has come of Marcos' attempt to burnish the country's international reputation and to put an end to what most people in the Philippines now refer to as EJKs, or "extrajudicial killings." She found that the killings have continued. And she spoke to researchers, doctors, advocates, and victims' families to try to understand why.

Wonderful show

Disappointed with recent coverage of news
Being a daily listener for years for its good journalism based on facts and impartiality. However, this doesn’t seem the case anymore when it comes about the Israel-Hamas war. The media coverage about this conflict is a disfavor to the world. When will NPR start talking about the real cause of this war, all the atrocities Hamas has been doing to jews and to their own people for years, raising suicide bombers. Israel is not fighting Palestines, it’s fighting Hamas, terrorists that are hiding behind their own children and women as human shields. Hamas has the power to stop the war by surrendering but they have no interest in stopping the killing of their own people. As said once “we will only have peace with Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us”.
It’s great that European countries want to support a Palestine state, but are they willing to fight with Israel to eliminate Hamas and free up Palestine to be its own state? It’s very easy to criticize from a distance.
Fascists
Bunch of Zionist losers complicit in the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The people will remember. Keep excusing these monsters as your report from their made up country you pathetic excuses for human beings.
