Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Rylan Barton. The Trump administration says it will abide by a court ruling that paused a $1.8 billion fund to compensate alleged victims of the federal government. The fund was to be created as part of a settlement between President Trump and his own Justice Department. Democrats and even some Republican lawmakers were reluctant to support it.

And President Trump says Israel and Hezbollah plan to de-escalate their fight in southern Lebanon.

Trump says he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today. NPR's Adipa Shivaram has more.

Netanyahu had ordered Israeli troops to target areas surrounding Beirut. But now, Trump says after his call with Netanyahu, there will be no troops going to Beirut and that any Israeli troops on their way,

quote, have already been turned back. Trump says he also spoke with representatives from Hezbollah.

Israel's increased aggression against Lebanon, which violates the ceasefire agreed on weeks ago,

has complicated ongoing talks to end the U.S. and Israel's war against Iran.

Iran pulled out of negotiations after Israel's attacks on Beirut.

Trump says the talks are continuing with Iran, though, and moving at what he calls a, quote, rapid pace.

PR News. The number of teens and young adults turning to AI chatbots for mental health

advice jumped by nearly 40% in the past year. That's according to a study in JAMA pediatrics,

as NPR's Retoo Chatterjee reports nearly 20% of those aged 12 to 21 say they turn to chatbots for mental health

advice. In 2025, nearly 1 in 8 adolescents and young adults said they were turning to AI chatbots

like chat GPD, Claude and Gemini for advice when they felt sad, angry, nervous or stressed.

Now, one in five young people say they do the same. More than 40% of those

individuals said they do so at least monthly or more often. And a majority of teens said they

don't tell anyone about the use of chatbots for mental health advice. The researchers recommend that

parents and health care providers ask youth about their use of chatbots for mental health needs

so they can correct any inaccurate information that may be presented by chatbots

and raise awareness about the risk of relying on general use chatbots for mental health advice.
