Details@capitalone.com Live from NPR News. In Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry says hundreds of National Guard troops will soon be sent to New Orleans.

The court ruled 6 to 3 against President Trump, one of only a handful of times the conservative court has ruled against the president on the emergency docket this term. The court said the president failed to cite any law that would justify using the Guard under federal control for law enforcement. Trump federalized the Guard against Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker's wishes back in September for what he said was the protection of federal immigration officers, officers and facilities. This ruling from the court applies only to Illinois, and the issue could come before the high court again. Meanwhile, Governor Landry of Louisiana, a Republican, has requested for federal authorization to send the Guard to New Orleans in the coming weeks. Kat Lansdorf, NPR News, Washington.

The Trump administration says it will begin garnishing wages for millions of student loan borrowers who are in default. They'll be given 30 days notice before garnishment begins. In May, the White House ended a Biden era freeze on student loans payments that had been in place since the pandemic. Two explosions at a nursing home northeast of Philadelphia have left two people dead. A large fire broke out at the Bristol Health and Rehab center, causing the building to collapse.

We believe preliminarily that it was a gas leak that led to that. The explosion was really quite catastrophic.

Defense Minister Israel Katz was addressing Jewish settlers in the west bank to mark the expansion of 1200 new housing units there when he said, God willing, in due time, Israel will establish Israeli communities in areas of northern Gaza where Jewish settlements were dismantled 20 years ago. And he said, quote, we will not leave all of Gaza. But only hours later, the Israeli defense minister issued a statement saying the government has no intention of establishing settlements in Gaza and that his remarks were made solely in a security context without elaborating. But his initial comments had already grabbed headlines in Israel and were welcomed by a far right settler group. Aya Botrawi, NPR News.

On Wall Street, Dow futures are trading lower at this hour. This is npr. Two similar murals have appeared in central London this week, one of which the mysterious street artist Banksy has so far claimed as his own. NPR's Chloe Veltman reports. Its meaning is a cause of debate.

Banksy posted an image of the mural on Instagram on Monday, the artist's usual system for authenticating works, it received close to 1 million likes within a day. The artwork depicts two children lying on their backs in coats, hats and boots. One child has their hands in their pockets, the other points a finger skywards. It looks just like another mural that recently appeared in a different central London location. Though Banksy has not yet acknowledged its authorship, the image presents a cosy, wintry scene in time for the Holidays. But art world publications like Art News are also interpreting the image as a statement on the UK's escalating child homelessness crisis. According to a report published earlier this year by the British government, more than 160,000 homeless children are currently living in temporary accommodation, the highest number on record.

Workers at the Louvre Museum in Paris are installing new security bars on the same window where thieves broke earlier this year and stole more than $100 million worth of historic jewelry. Four people have been arrested, but the stolen items have not been recovered. Crews used a freight lift on Tuesday to install the bars. The Louvre has not commented on the upgrade. I'm Windsor Johnston, and you're listening to NPR News from Washington.
