Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Ramm. The Supreme Court announced yesterday it will hear a lawsuit against President Trump's efforts to restrict birthright citizenship that people born in the US Are US Citizens. President Trump wants to limit that to babies who have at least one parent who's a citizen or a legal permanent resident. NPR's Ron Elving reports the Supreme Court has shown deference to the president's policies so far.

Should those babies automatically become citizens, even if their parents aren't? The longstanding answer has been yes. But there has also been a body of opinion opposed to that. We had anti immigration surges in the mid-1800s and in the 1920s and and Trump's broad scale assault on immigration has in effect closed the southern border and unleashed aggressive deportation efforts. But this birthright citizenship case, seeking to change the way we have long understood the Constitution would be his biggest trophy yet.

Some private insurance companies offer Medicare Advantage plans with low monthly premiums and extra benefits. But analysts say premiums and out of pocket costs are expected to tick up nationally next year. Nebraska Hospital Association President Jeremy Nordquist works with seniors navigating those costs.

A lot of Medicare Advantage plans, you may pay less upfront, but you are taking a bigger financial risk as you age and move forward.

D
Nationwide, 62 million people can choose. Medicare Advantage Advantage plans may require prior approval for certain services, something Nordquist says can delay or deny care for seniors. For NPR News, I'm Maci Byers in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The latest attempts by European leaders have failed to convince the Belgian prime minister to allow frozen Russian assets be used to finance Ukraine. The the European Commission wants to use the money as leverage for a loan to Kyiv. From Brussels, Terry Scholz has more on the story.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen met late Friday with Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever in an attempt to convince him to back the EU Commission plan to use frozen Russian funds as collateral for a loan to Kyiv until Moscow pays reparations to Ukraine. But Devevor says other EU governments have not provided solid enough guarantees that they would help Belgium reimburse Moscow if it were able to claim back the frozen funds, which he feels is likely. There are also smaller amounts immobilized in other EU countries, which Devevor says should be included as collateral, but so far, no other government has offered up those sums. The commission hopes for a deal this month. For NPR News, I'm Terry Schultz in Brussels.

You're listening to NPR News in Washington. Ukrainian officials say Russia launched hundreds of missiles and dozens of drones against Ukraine overnight. The attacks come as Ukrainian negotiators are in Florida for a third third day of talks with Trump administration officials on finding a path to ending the war. The number of children who die worldwide before age 5 is expected to rise this year. NPR's Gabriela Emanuel has more.

Between 2000 and 2020, the number of young kids dying was cut in half. Today, it's under 5 million kids. While it's too early for exact death counts for 2025, new forecasts from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington suggest this year child deaths will increase by 200,000. Steve Lim is one of the researchers. He says these deaths are the result of foreign aid being cut by a quarter as countries like the U.S. the UK and France shift priorities.

Emmanuel, the black bear hunt is underway in Florida for the first time in 10 years, hunters may legally hunt the black bear with rifles and crossbows. They'll need a Permit, one of 172 issued, which entitles them to kill one black bear. Opponents of the sanctioned killing failed to stop the hunt in court. Some say they applied for permits with no intention of using them. I'm Nora Ramm, NPR News, in Washington.
