  • Skier Lindsey Vonn won't back down

    Skier Lindsey Vonn won't back down
    May 8 2026
    Skiing star Lindsey Vonn was on the cusp of capping off one of the most remarkable career comebacks the Olympics has ever seen. Then it all changed.


    It had been six years since she stepped away from competitive skiing due to injuries and made her triumphant return at the 2026 Winter Olympics. But then it came all tumbling down. Millions watched as the 41-year-old had the worst crash of her career.

    Most people wouldn't want to show their face in public again — not Lindsey Vonn.

    NPR's Becky Sullivan sat down with her and shares her story.

  • What's driving an increase in antisemitism in the United Kingdom?

    What's driving an increase in antisemitism in the United Kingdom?
    May 7 2026
    The number of antisemitic incidents is on the rise in the UK. What is driving it, and – how is the British government trying to combat it?

    The United Kingdom faces an antisemitism emergency.

    That’s according to the government there.

    This week, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said there is a plan to fight it.

    Brendan McGeever co-director of the Birkbeck Institute for the Study of Antisemitism in London breaks down what's happening.

  • The man who changed TV news

    The man who changed TV news
    May 6 2026
    When the U.S. and Israel bomb Iran and start a war, we know about it moments after it’s started — sometimes even moments before. When Russian tanks cross the border into Ukraine, we watch as it’s happening. This access to immediacy — our ability to be there as history is unfolding — much of that is possible, thanks to the vision of CNN founder Ted Turner.


    Turner transformed the media industry and revolutionized television news when he launched the Cable News Network — CNN — in 1980. It was the country’s first 24-hour news channel. Turner died Wednesday. He was 87.

    NPR’s Ailsa Chang speaks with CNN Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour about Turner’s legacy.
