The U.S. hasn't met with N. Korea since Trump's first term

A meeting with North Korea would be "a first step" for diplomatic engagement, the Mansfield Foundation's Bruce Klingner says, as President Donald Trump pushes for a meeting with Kim Jong Un. "The U.S. has not had a bilateral meeting or really any engagement whatsoever since October 2019, the last bilateral meetings, which the North Koreans described as 'sickening,"' he told Compass Points host Nick Schifrin. U.S. negotiators "have said we are willing to meet anywhere, anytime about anything with no conditions, and yet North Korea has rejected that," he later added. "So just getting a meeting would not necessarily be a success, but it'd be a first step, sort of a normal first step of diplomatic engagement." Compass Points from PBS News analyzes prominent international affairs topics and America’s role in a shifting world, breaking down global conflicts, rising tensions, and their implications for U.S. interests.

Why the U.S. medical system is ‘broken by design’

The United States health care system is "broken by design," says Dr. Lucy McBride. "We need to prioritize prevention," she told Horizons host William Brangham. "The system is broken by design. No matter what your politics are, it just is." "There's a lot of money being made by sick care," McBride, a primary care physician in Washington, D.C., added. "I'm not a conspiracy theorist; that's just what the data shows. We prioritize damage control medicine and not prevention at the expense of American health."

Lindsay Clancy and our obsession with true crime

The Lindsay Clancy trial has captivated the nation for weeks now. Breakdowns of the case — and conspiracy theories, too — have saturated social media, with people searching for answers to questions like: How could a suburban mother kill her three children? Was the husband, Patrick Clancy, involved somehow? What can we all do to prevent this from happening to our loved ones or even us? While some content creators are cautious about being ethical and sticking to the facts, others indulge in conspiracies or crime-solving narratives that enter a sticky ethical gray area. It all points to our fascination with true crime, and how we use these stories to bring larger societal issues to light. Crime historian and podcaster Kate Winkler Dawson and true crime content creator Haley Price share their experiences working in the world of true crime — and why it’s important to remember that at the center of these stories are real people.

What caused the deadly flash floods in Nepal?

Satellite imagery suggests a massive ice chunk breaking off a high-altitude glacier may have set off a chain reaction that unleashed torrents of water to flood areas of northern Nepal and southern Tibet on Wednesday. “That sudden slippage released the equivalent amount of energy as detonating 950 tons of TNT explosive,” Matthew Cappucci of My Radar explained to PBS News. The avalanche-like phenomenon — which did not appear to be linked to seismic activity — likely caused water from a glacial lake to surge into multiple river valleys in the region. At least 160 people were killed in the subsequent flash floods and landslides in the area. Hundreds more are reported missing. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.

What is FEMA's 'Waffle House Index' for storm damage?

How did the "Waffle House Index" originate? The index is an informal metric used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to measure how bad a natural disaster is. Former FEMA head Craig Fugate said the origins of the index came in the aftermath of Hurricane Charley. Fugate was head of Florida’s emergency management department at the time. “Red is closed; that's bad. Yellow is open with a limited menu. And then green, it's good; they got their full menu,” Fugate told PBS News Hour’s Amna Nawaz on the latest episode of “Settle In." Tap the link in our bio for more from the episode.
