Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. We have word at this hour that an Air Canada flight has collided with a Port Authority vehicle at New York's LaGuardia Airport. The incident occurred late this evening. So far, there are no other details available.

NPR's Emily Feng has our reports.

Iran is blocking most ships from transiting the Strait of Hormuz, and that's caused the price of oil and gas to increase sharply this month. Trump wrote on social media on Saturday that the U.S. would, quote, hit and obliterate Iranian power plants if the strait was not open within 48 hours. Earlier, Iran's President, Massoud Pizachian wrote on social media site X shortly after that the strait was open for all except those who violate our soil. A spokesperson for Iran's armed forces went even further, saying, quote, nothing can stop us from destroying all American infrastructure in the Middle east region should Trump make good on his threat and that the Strait of Hormuz would remain totally closed until Iran could rebuild its power plants if the US Hit them.

The Department of Homeland Security says hundreds of ICE agents will be deployed to US Airports. On Monday, President Trump ordered the move after another weekend of major slowdowns for air travelers. TSA agents are taking absences after not receiving a paycheck because of the partial government shutdown now underway.

NPR's Luke Garretts One reason is money. Last summer, the GOP controlled Congress passed billions in spending for ice, and that money is allowing ICE to keep the lights on and pay its agents. Meanwhile, the rest of dhs, which includes tsa, can't pay their workers during this partial shutdown. Trump is basically shifting personnel resources within DHS to solve this immediate problem of airport staff shortages and delays. But the president of the union that covers TSA workers really blasted this deployment plan, saying, you know, ICE agents are untrained and will make airport security worse.

remains on flood watch. Evacuation orders on Oahu have been lifted, but officials continue to warn some residents on Maui to prepare to leave impacted areas. The flooding has blocked roads, destroyed homes and damaged a hospital on Maui, forcing the relocation of nearly 100 patients. Boil water orders are in effect for some areas, and health officials are warning people to keep out of the ocean in areas with significant storm runoff. In the parts of the state where the rain has stopped, search and rescue teams are moving in. About 200 National Guard members have been activated, and the army has put more than 100 soldiers on standby. For NPR News, I'm Ashley Mizuo in Honolulu.

And you're listening to NPR news. At least 10 Palestinians were injured Sunday night in attacks in the occupied West Bank. The injuries were caused by Israeli settlers who rampaged in several villages after a funeral for a settler killed in a car crash a day earlier. Also, Palestinians were killed in Gaza in two separate strikes. The latest World Happiness Report finds the same country that's reported the highest well being for almost a decade is still ranked number one. It also finds a stark decline in life satisfaction among young people in the U.S. nPR's Amy Held has more.

For the ninth year running, Finland ranks as the world's happiest country, the U.S. 23rd. But Americans have dropped to near the bottom globally. When it comes to falling happiness among young people under 25, there's no single reason. But researchers say heavy social media use stands out. Co author Martine Berger says more than five hours a day is associated with less life satisfaction.

and time lost, he says, doing other meaningful things like meeting in person. People in Nordic countries ranking high in happiness are on social media a lot, too, but researchers say a mix of other factors, like strong social supports contribute to well being. Amy Held, NPR News.

This message comes from Midi Health co founders Joanna Strober and Dr. Kathleen Jordan discuss why they started a virtual care platform to empower and educate women in perimenopause and menopause.
- [05:08]
Joanna Strober
Historically, perimenopause and menopause have been very stigmatizing. So people haven't wanted to admit that they are in perimenopause and menopause, as though it was, like, embarrassing, which is insane. It's just something happening to your body. So one of the things that we're trying to do is destigmatize these topics. Perimenopause and menopause are just women's health. So we try to educate women all the time. Maybe it's your hormones and we would like to help you.

Dr. Kathleen Jordan
Yeah. And I find women actually want to talk about it. It's one of the things they always comment at MIDI is that they finally feel heard. One of the ways that women find MIDI is actually from other women, and I think it's meaningful.
