It could strain the global non-proliferation regime and complicate efforts to extend arms control agreements. Allies and lawmakers are likely to demand briefings on safety, treaty impacts and cost. Trump says the decision ensures credible deterrence and modern readiness. This is Sarah Wheaton for Neural Newscast.

A regional diplomat says the pattern shows systematic targeting of communities. This is Samuel Green for Neural Newscast. At least 100 people die in Gaza after Israeli strikes, local health officials say. The attacks hit multiple areas during what appears to be the deadliest day since this month's truce.

Breakthroughs and findings from the scientific world. Researchers have turned germanium into a superconductor, offering a new route for quantum and cryogenic electronics. Stories about our planet and its future. A major climate modeling study warns Antarctic ice shelves could collapse under high-emission scenarios, raising long-term sea level risks. I'm joined by Stephen Summers. Up to 59% of Antarctic ice shelves face collapse by 2300 under high-emission scenarios. Researchers modeling ocean warming say the losses could drive as much as 10 meters of global sea level rise. Ice shelves buttress the continent's vast ice sheets, so their failure speeds glaciers into the sea. The study finds a sharp difference under stronger climate action. If warming stays below 2 degrees Celsius, projected losses drop dramatically. The message is blunt. Cutting emissions this century helps protect coasts for generations. This is Stephen Summers for Neural Newscast. Science Shaping Our Understanding Scientists say climate change drives about one-third of India's heatwave days in 2024, intensifying impacts. A Lancet study finds longer, hotter spells push hospitalizations and heatstroke deaths higher, especially among outdoor workers and older adults. Researchers link extreme heat to crop losses, power outages, and reduced labor productivity, squeezing household incomes. Cities like Delhi and Ahmedabad log multiple 45 degrees Celsius days in April and May. The study urges early warning systems, shaded public spaces, and heat action plans to protect vulnerable communities. This is Nathaniel Cohen for Neural Newscast. For a worldwide view, we turn to our international team. Families and campaigners demand the release of a damning report into the murder of Claire Inglis. Inglis 28 dies in November 2021 in Stirling, weeks after courts bail her partner, Christopher McGowan, to her home. McGowan later receives a life sentence. Advocates say the report details bail decisions, risk assessments, and missed safeguards. They argue publication could drive reforms to domestic abuse protocols and judicial oversight.
