Utah Governor Spencer Cox tells ABC News Robinson was living with a transgender person. We can confirm that his roommate was indeed a boyfriend who is transitioning from male to female. Cox says the roommate along with Robinson's family are all assisting the authorities in their investigation. But the Utah governor says Robinson himself has not admitted to the assassination. He is not cooperating, but all the people around him are cooperating and I think that's very important. He expects more information to be released Tuesday when the FBI forensic report is filed in court. And top of mind for Cox is learning how Robinson, who he Says was a 4.0 student from a close knit family, ended up in this situation. Cox also criticized social media companies for stoking conflict and he compared their products to fentanyl. Luke Garrett, NPR News, Washington.

Relations between Washington and Beijing have been on something of a rollercoaster ride since President Trump's return to office with an early flurry of tariffs on each other's exports, followed by a push to boost dialogue and avoid an all out trade war. Last month, both sides agreed to extend a tariff truce until at least November, under which some measures due to be imposed were paused. The most likely outcome from this round of talks is expected to be another extension of a deadline for the social media platform TikTok's Chinese owners to divest its US operations by next week or face a shutdown in the country.

In his wide ranging interview with the Catholic news outlet Crux, Pope Leo discusses his sense of identity, saying he feels American but but that Peru remains part of him after he spent half his ministerial life there. He describes the papacy as a huge learning curve, but says the pastoral aspects of the role are familiar. Pope Leo speaks of the Holy See's role as a neutral mediator in conflicts, but also says different actors have to push hard enough at times to make the warring side say enough is enough. He says the United nations has at this time lost its ability to bring people together in multilateral negotiations. But he says in these times of apparent polarization in the world, people cannot give up hope to overcome violence and hatred. Ruth Sherlock, NPR News, Rome.
