"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website now says a link between vaccines and autism cannot be ruled out. This is a reversal from the agency's longstanding position that there is no link. This message aligns with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s opinion that vaccines are dangerous. CDC scientists say they didn't change their website, and the Department of Health and Human Services wouldn't divulge who ordered the adjustment to the wording, NPR's Pien Huang tells Up First."
"There is no new scientific evidence to support the claim of a link between vaccines and autism. Huang notes that it is interesting that a headline on the CDC's webpage still states that vaccines don't cause autism. However, there is an asterisk next to this statement, which explains that the agency will not remove it due to an agreement with Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who provided a key confirmation vote for Kennedy to become the HHS secretary."
"President Trump's chief negotiator has presented a new 28-point plan for peace to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. International observers are encouraged that Trump has not given up on peace between Ukraine and Russia, but the proposal requires major territorial concessions from Ukraine, which the country has repeatedly rejected. The Trump administration continues to suggest these concessions because the president is focused on getting a yes to his plan, says NPR's Franco Ordonez."

President Trump's chief negotiator presented a 28-point peace plan to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that would require major territorial concessions Ukraine has repeatedly rejected. Observers note the administration's focus on securing agreement, while Russia seeks strategic territory and Ukraine demands security guarantees.
