National Guard troops are in Los Angeles after President Trump federalized the force yesterday and ordered them to protect federal immigration agents. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem praised the move after days of protests against immigration

raids. NPR's Luke Garrett reports. DHS Secretary Noem tells CBS News that Los Angeles law enforcement failed to quickly protect immigration officers during raids and the ensuing protests from local residents. When we ask for backup in a situation, LAPD has waited hours to respond, and they've waited until we have an officer in a dangerous situation until they come in. Noem says agents suffered injuries and that the National Guard is needed to protect them. But LAPD says they answered the federal agents' calls for help within 55 minutes and, quote,

dispersed a hostile crowd. Trump's order allows National Guard troops to support and protect DHS and ICE agents, but it does not allow for law enforcement activity by the troops. California Governor Gavin Newsom says Trump is trying to, quote, manufacture a crisis. Luke Garrett, NPR News, Washington.

operation that used cheap drones to hit dozens of Russian bombers deep in the Russian heartland last week. A German military assessment estimates that Moscow retained 90 percent of its strategic bombers but that Russia will now have to amp up security to save its existing fleet.

A Chinese-born pianist has won one of classical piano's most prestigious contests. 29-year-old Aristo Sham took home the gold medal at the Van Klyberd International Piano Competition. Bill Ziebel with Member Station KERA reports. Bill Ziebel Shamm impressed judges not only with challenging recitals of Beethoven and Ravel, among others, but three different concertos, including the Weide Brahms second. He said surprise was the wrong word to use on winning because he couldn't control the judges.

What we can do, what I try to do, is just be the absolute best version of myself and present that. And I could not control anything else. And so I just focus on that. Sham wins $100,000 cash, but more important, three years of management and international bookings. The silver and bronze medalists also win three years of management and bookings.
