U.S. district Judge Kathleen Williams says court rules allow a plaintiff to walk away from a case if they file no papers, and there's no role now for her to review the IRS dispute. The Justice Department says Trump will receive an apology but no financial payment. Instead, DOJ's launching what it calls an anti weaponization fund of nearly $1.8 billion to compensate people who allegedly were unfairly prosecuted by the Biden administration. That could include defendants who stormed the Capitol and attacked law enforcement on January 6, 2021. Donald Sherman of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington says the deal is among the most corrupt in US History. Carrie Johnson, NPR News, Washington.

The State Department says its embassies in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan and Uganda are tracking the Ebola outbreak and communicating with Americans in the region. The department has issued a series of travel warnings and is barring visits by foreign nationals who have been in the DRC, South Sudan and Uganda within the last 21 days. A statement since says the US may repatriate Americans depending on their exposure and health needs. The department adds that it has authorized an initial $13 million and is preparing to announce more aid. The Trump administration dismantled America's main aid agency last year and withdrew hundreds of millions in funding from the World Health Organization.

This is npr. The Long island railroad is back on track. The operators of North America's largest commuter rail system and the unions representing workers have reached an agreement. The union went on strike Saturday, forcing some 250,000 commuters to find alternatives. New York Governor Kathy Hochul says service will start back up Tuesday at noon. Former Los Angeles police detective Mark Fuhrman has died. He was 74. A coroner said Monday that Furman died last week in Idaho, where he had moved years ago. Fuhrman was one of the first two police detectives sent to investigate the 1994 killings of O.J. simpson's former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman. He was convicted of lying during testimony at O.J. simpson's murder trial. New research suggests that heading a soccer ball can affect the health of a person's brain.

Researchers used video recordings to study head impacts among more than 300amateur male soccer players in the Netherlands. The scientists measured levels of proteins in the blood that are associated with brain injury. They found that after a match, players who experienced one or more high impact headers had increased levels of a protein called SB100, which indicates damage to brain cells. The more high impact headers a player had, the greater the increase in SB100. Previous studies have found that professional soccer players are at higher risk for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's. The authors say this study suggests amateur athletes may also face long term risks. John Hamilton, NPR News.
