Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear. Israel says the ceasefire in Gaza is over. NPR's Kat Lansdorf reports Israel has launched devastating airstrikes which killed more than 400 people and injured at least 500 others across Gaza.

Israel says these strikes were targeting senior Hamas officials and that this new offensive is to pressure Hamas to accept a proposal by President Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, for the release of more Israeli hostages. Just to be clear, the Witkoff plan that they're pushing is different than the original deal that both sides agreed to back in January. The first phase of that deal expired at the beginning of this month. Hamas has been pushing to go to the second phase of that plan, but Israel is now demanding the Witkoff plan.

Senior Hamas official says Netanyahu's decision about to a death sentence for remaining hostages. In mid January, Israel and Hamas agreed to an initial ceasefire of six weeks in which Hamas released more than 30 Israeli and foreign hostages, some living, some dead. In exchange, Israel released close to 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees. President Trump today called for the impeachment of a federal judge who ordered a two week halt to his efforts to deport alleged members of a Venezuelan gang. More from NPR's Nina Totenberg.

Chief Judge James Boasberg halted the deportation for two weeks after Trump, in a highly controversial move, used the 1798 Enemy Aliens act to deport the alleged gang members. Reacting to the temporary ruling, Trump said at Boasberg, a former prosecutor with a history of bipartisan support, should be impeached, labeling the judge crooked, lunatic and a troublemaker and agitator. In response, the normally reserved Chief justice of the United States, John Roberts, issued a statement of his own. For more than two centuries, he said, it's been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreements concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose. Nina Totenberg, NPR News, Washington.

That's Eunyoung Choi. She's a researcher at USC and led the new research. Heat exposure in older adults is linked to changes in their DNA. Those changes lead to premature biological aging. For people living in extremely hot places like Phoenix, the aging impact are similar to smoking. Alejandra Barunda, NPR News.

Stocks lost ground on Wall street today. The Dow fell 260 points. The Nasdaq dropped 304 points. This is NPR. Speaking at the start of the developers conference today, the head of chipmaker Nvidia says AI is currently going through an inflection point. Nvidia founder Jensen Huang telling attendees that demand for GPUs from the top four cloud service providers is surging, that he expects Nvidia's infrastructure revenue to reach the $1 trillion mark by 2028. He also announced automaker General Motors will integrate Nvidia technology into its new fleet of self driving vehicles. Hungarian lawmakers have passed legislation to ban the annual Pride March in Budapest. As Esme Nicholson explains, crowds have taken to the streets to protest the decision.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz party fast tracked their bill to ban Pride in the Hungarian capital by arguing that it could prove harmful to children. It is part of a government crackdown on what it calls gender MA and on the LGBTQ community already targeted by legislation that prohibits the depiction or promotion of homosexuality to under 18s. Pride attendees risk being fined if identified by authorities, now permitted to use facial recognition tools. Budapest Pride organisers call the law fascism, not child protection, and say they will go ahead with their celebrations as usual. For NPR News, I'm Esme Nicholson in Berlin.
