Covering climate change in the city of love

This summer, the island of Puerto Rico has been under the thrall of Bad Bunny.

His 30-concert residency at a stadium in San Juan is a homecoming for the global superstar.

It's also a homecoming for many thousands of people who left home – but are flocking back for the shows.

NPR’s Adrian Florido reports on how the concerts are resonating with Puerto Ricans on and off the island.

What Bad Bunny means to Puerto Ricans

American Presidents have been trying to manage Russian President Vladimir Putin since the beginning of this century.

There was George W. Bush, who met with Putin 28 times.

Barack Obama and Putin sat down together 9 times.

Joe Biden met with Putin only once.

Past presidents had hoped to strike deals and push Russia toward a more democratic society.

Instead, Russia started wars and tried to expand its borders.

Soon, President Trump heads here to Alaska for his seventh meeting with Putin – and like his predecessors – he’s trying to get something out of Putin.

This time he’s hoping to finally end the war in Ukraine.

Can Trump get Putin to make a deal?

”The global trading system as we have known it is dead.”

Those are the words of former US Trade Representative Michael Froman.

He’s now President of the Council on Foreign Relations. 

If the era of global free trade is over, the question is…what comes next?

President Trump is upending global trade as we know it. What comes next?

Two minutes — that’s how long President Trump says it will take him to figure out whether Russian President Vladimir Putin is serious about finding a way to end his war with Ukraine.

Details are still scarce — but Putin and Trump are set to meet Friday in Alaska.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wasn’t invited.

What does Trump hope to achieve, and can he get it from Putin? Ambassador John Bolton, Trump's national security adviser in his first term, was with Trump the last time Trump met with Putin. Bolton weighs in.

Trump and Putin are set to meet. Do they want the same thing?

President Trump said he’s taking over Washington and announced he’s deploying the National Guard to the city.

And he made another big promise: that his administration would take control of the D.C. police.

The president also mentioned other cities across the country with what he says are high levels of crime.

As President Trump pledges to use his executive authority to control law enforcement in the nation's capital, there are questions about what happens now and what this might mean for other cities across the country.

Trump takes over D.C. police. Will other cities be next?

The Trump administration announced this past week that it has entered talks with the Cook Islands to research and develop seabed mineral resources. 

The Polynesian archipelago is one of only a handful of countries worldwide that has begun permitting this type of exploration, called deep-sea mining. 

Deep-sea mining is not regulated. There's no blueprint for how to do it safely, or responsibly. Which is why, for the last decade, the UN's International Seabed Authority has worked to draw up regulations. 

But President Trump — and one Canadian company — have posed a question: Why wait?

Deep-sea mining is unregulated. Some want to forge ahead anyway

The question of whether Russian interference in the 2016 election was a decisive reason Donald Trump won the presidency is one that has dogged Trump for the better part of a decade.

It's also been the subject of numerous investigations.

But even though that question has been asked and answered, the current Trump administration is launching another investigation in an effort to reach a different conclusion. 

Last month, Trump's Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, declassified documents and she leveled an unprecedented accusation: The Obama administration knowingly pushed the idea of Russian interference as false narrative to sabotage Trump's campaign. 

And this week, Attorney General Pam Bondi has authorized an investigation into the investigation of his 2016 campaign's relationship Russia.

Investigating the Russia investigations. What's left to learn?

The FBI is investigating at least 250 people who may be tied to online networks that target children.

These networks encourage kids to hurt themselves, other minors or even animals. In some countries, they have been tied to mass casualty and terrorism plots.

NPR's domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef has spoken with a family that experienced this firsthand.

How some online networks target and radicalize kids

In 2006, Ari Shapiro reported on how Hurricane Katrina made an already broken public defender system in New Orleans worse. The court system collapsed in the aftermath of the storm.

Katrina caused horrific destruction in New Orleans. It threw incarcerated people into a sort of purgatory - some were lost in prisons for more than a year. 

But the storm also cleared the way for changes that the city's public defender system had needed for decades. 

Two decades later, Shapiro returns to New Orleans and finds a system vastly improved.
