Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone. This week, President Biden will welcome the president-elect Donald Trump to the White House in advance of the transition of administrations. White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told CBS's Face the Nation the two

leaders have a lot to talk about. They will go through the top issues, both domestic and foreign policy issues, including what is happening in Europe and Asia and the Middle East. And the president will have the chance to explain to President Trump how he sees things, where they stand, and talk to President Trump about how President Trump is thinking about taking on these issues when he takes office. As Donald Trump goes about putting together a new administration, the federal criminal charges against him will likely be dropped. But the fate of the Georgia

election interference case is less clear. Sam Gringlis from Embers Station WABE has more. Trump's two federal cases are unlikely to continue given long-standing Justice Department policy that sitting presidents can't face prosecution. That would leave the Georgia case as Trump's only outstanding criminal charges. But the case will still likely end up paused until Trump leaves office in 2029. Even if DA Fonny Willis tries to push ahead now with trying to convict Trump on eight felony counts, courts could rule that presidents cannot face even state criminal charges while in office. Willis could still pursue Trump's 14 co-defendants, who are not subject to presidential pardons.

But first, she must overcome efforts from Trump and his co-defendants to remove her from the case for misconduct allegations. For NPR News, I'm Sam Greenglass in Atlanta. Israel's ousted Defense Minister Yoav Galan says there's nothing more for the Israeli military to achieve in Atlanta. Israel's ousted Defense Minister Yoav Galant says there's nothing more for the Israeli military to achieve in Gaza. That's according to a closed-door meeting he had with family members of Israeli hostages in Gaza on his last day in office. NPR's Kat Lonsdorf spoke with one of the family members in that meeting.

Gil Dickman's cousin was taken hostage by Hamas last October, along with about 250 others. She was later killed in Gaza. Dickman says Gallant spoke plainly about the war at Thursday's meeting. And what he said is that there's so much that you can do with force. And they've done it. He says Gallant also said that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is solely responsible for holding up a ceasefire deal in July. NPR has been able to independently verify Dickman's account of the meeting with both a recording

and a transcript. We also reached out to both Gallant and the prime minister's office. Neither responded. Netanyahu fired Gallant last week, saying trust between the two had, quote, eroded. Kat Lonsdorf, NPR News, Tel Aviv. Dozens were killed in Lebanon amid new Israeli airstrikes there this weekend. There were no warnings from Israel ahead of the bombardments, according to Lebanese authorities. As the world watches for the signs from the incoming Trump administration, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says they have spoken a few times this week. This is NPR News. A new study reveals that many young people are feeling stressed about climate change. Rebecca Rettelmeyer from member station WSKG reports on how some universities are trying

to help students navigate those emotions. Over 50 percent of youth in the United States are very or extremely worried about climate change. That's according to a recent study published in the scientific journal The Lancet. But there are ways to help young people cope, says Cornell University professor Michael Hoffman. I think it's so important when we ever, when we do talk about climate change, to provide solutions, the answers.

What can I do? Hoffman is one of several professors around the country reframing how he teaches climate change to put solutions and emotions at the center. He says his goal is to remind students there is hope. For NPR News, I'm Rebecca Rettelmeier in Ithaca, New York.
