Up-to-the-minute news, analysis, commentary and coverage of politics, arts, sports and more—from around the world and in and around Chicago.


President Trump left his Republican allies confused about his intentions on guns, concerned about his moves on trade, and curious about the state of his White House staff this week.

Rachel Martin talks to Charles Cooke, editor of "National Review Online" about while the Florida school shooting may have prompted a change of heart on gun policy in the White House, that sentiment is not universal among conservatives.

An accused Guatemalan war criminal who has been living illegally in Providence, Rhode Island, for two decades, faces deportation. Victims say they hope justice is carried out once he's deported.

The Chinese government now controls an iconic piece of U.S. property: the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York. The backstory illuminates China's ambitions and illustrates some of its fears, as it has grown into a global economic powerhouse.

David Greene talks to Lamont Hawkins, aka "U-God" a founding member of the pioneering rap group Wu-Tang Clan. Hawkins has written a memoir about growing up in a gritty housing project in Staten Island, his early job as drug dealer, and how rap music provided a ticket out.

957

We all like to find the best price for goods or services. But generally, we expect prices to be pretty consistent from customer to customer. But a new approach to pricing may cause costs for products and services to fluctuate. More and more companies are looking into the concept of “personalized pricing”—where different customers could be charged different prices for the same product. Morning Shift talks to Hal Weitzman, editor-in-chief of the Chicago Booth Review from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. The publication’s March cover story breaks down “personalized pricing."

President Trump stunned markets and his economic policy advisors when he unexpectedly announced that the U.S. would impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

And in the Northeast, dairy farmers are grappling with low milk prices.

And this year, a cloud hangs over the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. Documents from an ongoing federal probe into bribery and fraud allege a shadow-world involving big money, secret deals and marquee names from the world of college basketball.

The latest news from NPR and WBEZ.

President Trump stunned markets and his economic policy advisors when he unexpectedly announced that the U.S. would impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Trump ran on a nationalist trade agenda, but economists worry that he has unleashed a global trade war.

NPR's Ari Shapiro is joined by David Brooks of The New York Times, and Karen Tumulty of The Washington Post, to discuss tariffs on steel and aluminum imports announced this week and the internal dynamics of the White House.

As the nation's dairy farmers struggle through their fourth year of depressed milk prices, concerns are rising that many are becoming depressed themselves. The outlook for the next year is so bleak, it's heightening worries — especially in the Northeast — about farmer suicides.

This year, a cloud hangs over the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament. Documents from an ongoing federal probe into bribery and fraud allege a shadow-world involving big money, secret deals and marquee names from the world of college basketball. NPR's Ari Shapiro speaks with Yahoo Sports journalist Pete Thamel about the documents he reviewed.

The latest news and updates from NPR and WBEZ.

Guns have dominated politics this week. And the one idea President Trump keeps coming back to is arming teachers. But a new NPR/Ipsos poll found that really only one group of people are in favor of training teachers to carry guns in schools — Republicans, especially Republican men.

Organizers of the March for Our Lives are working to establish a new location in Washington, D.C., for their student-led rally for gun control later this month. Their original plans to hold the march on the National Mall fell through, because a student group filming a talent show already requested a permit for the same space.

The 2018 Oscars airs this weekend, but there's a key player in filmmaking that won't be recognized at the awards — the stunt coordinator. NPR's Ailsa Chang speaks with stunt coordinator Jack Gill about what it's like to direct action scenes and what his favorite movies of the past year are.

The snowline is extremely high — somewhere around 15,000 feet, an altitude that carries health risks — and skiing requires either a lot of effort or a lot of money, more than most Nepalese can afford, especially for a recreational activity.

A new whodunit novel by playwright and author David Mamet captures Chicago during the turbulent and free-wheeling 1920s.

Mamet’s new novel, Chicago, is full of touchstones from that era — a madam who runs a bordello, speakeasies, gunrunning, nightclub singers, and newspaper men who keep a bottle of hooch in their desk drawers. Everyone seemed to have secrets, especially the mob, and Mamet’s novel features a Chicago Tribune crime reporter and World War I vet on the search to uncover how the woman he loved was murdered.

Parliamentary Elections In Cuba Poised To Maintain Status Quo
1284

Cubans are headed to the polls this weekend. They’re expected to affirm the Communist Party’s nominees for Cuba’s National Assembly of People’s Power, the country’s 612-member legislative body.

Next month, the assembly will elect Cuba’s first president outside of the revolutionary Castro family. Raúl Castro succeeded his brother, Fidel, as president in 2008. But the 86-year-old is one of the few remaining leaders of the 1959 revolution against a U.S.-backed regime. 

International Sex Trafficking Rings Operate In Chicago

Chicago experiences the highest volume of immigration out of other cities in the Midwest. Studies suggest that major points of entry lead to high rates of sex trafficking. A 2003 article in The New York Times labeled Chicago a “national hub of human trafficking,” and in 2005, the FBI designated Chicago as one of 13 locations of “High Intensity Child Prostitution.” Documents from a federal court case in Minneapolis say one particular international trafficking ring used Optima North Shore Woods Apartments in Skokie and Catherine Courts on the Far Northwest Side of Chicago as venues for prostitution.

A global over-supply of steel -- largely caused by China -- is driving down prices and hurting the U.S. steel industry, but that same cheap steel supplies other parts of the U-S economy, from car makers and to soup can makers.

And in Louisiana, people who lived near a chemical plant were exposed to toxic pollution for decades ... until they'd had enough.
