Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche says the suspect who opened fire at the White House Correspondent's Dinner last night will be arraigned on Monday. Call. Allen is facing two weapons related counts, including using a firearm during a crime of violence and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon. Speaking on CBS's Face the Nation, Blanche says more charges could be added as the investigation continue.

B
We need to go through the evidence so there's a lot of federal charges that could be in play beyond those two charges, but it depends on what? It depends on us understanding his motive, his intent, his premeditation, what led into him deciding that he was going to do what he did last night.

Blanche says the suspect traveled by train across the country from California before arriving in D.C. and checking into the Washington Hilton. Investigators are trying to piece together a motive behind last night's shooting. Police Police say the suspected gunman is believed to have acted alone. NPR's Sam Greenglass was at the Washington Hilton when the gunfire broke out.

Just as dozens of servers and bow ties began streaming out to clear the salad course. A pop came from the lobby outside the massive ballroom. Journalists, lawmakers, cabinet officials and servers hit the floor. Some ducked under tables. Trays clanked to the ground. The Secret Service whisked away Trump and Vice President J.D. vance. Nearby, Law enforcement shouted for Mike Johnson as agents moved to locate the House speaker. Several minutes of confusion went by like this. Trump eventually posted on social media that a suspect was in custody and a Secret Service agent had been shot in his ballistic vest. While Trump later said he fought like hell for the show to go on, the dinner was eventually called off. Sam Greenglass, NPR News, Washington.

French President Emmanuel Macron says President Trump is weakening NATO and undermining trust in its collective defense pact. Terry Schultz reports France is now urging fellow Europeans to look more seriously at strengthening their own security.

D
President Macron says European security is facing unprecedented challenges, exacerbated by President Trump's regular criticism of Europeans and his suggestions the US might opt out of NATO's collective security guarantee, Article 5 if an ally got attacked.
- [02:31]
E
It's clearly a de facto weakening the strength of the alliance.

D
Europeans are increasingly examining the collective security clause in the European Union treaty 42.7 and whether it provides strong enough military and political commitments without the U.S. while structures and planning like NATO's are not in place in the EU, Macron says the obligation to come to the aid of fellow governments is unambiguous. For NPR News, I'm Terri Schultz in Brussels.

This is NPR News in Washington. Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla arrive in the United States on Monday for a four day visit. And relatives of the late Virginia Giuffre have renewed their call for him to meet with the victims of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Vicki Barker reports from London.

There has been no new comment from Buckingham palace, but aides have made it clear that any royal meeting with Epstein victims would be inappropriate while a police investigation is underway in the UK Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's arrest in February was in connection with alleged misconduct in public office while he was a trade envoy and not about any sexual misconduct. But several British police departments are investigating whether Jeffrey Epstein trafficked victims to or through the UK and whether the king's younger brother was implicated in that. The former Prince Andrew has denied all the accusations against him. For NPR News, I'm Vicki Barker in London.

Two wildfires in southeastern Georgia are continuing to threaten homes as strong winds raise concerns the flames could spread. Officials say the Highway 82 fire has been burning since Monday, destroying nearly 90 homes. A second fire burning near the Florida border has destroyed at least 35 homes. Officials say both fires are only about 10% contained. Forecasters in both states say dry conditions and a lack of rain are also making it difficult to bring the blazes under control.

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.
- [04:53]
H
Historically, perimenopause and menopause have been very stigmatizing. So people haven't wanted to admit that they're 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.

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.
