Plus, the winners of the NPR Student Podcast Challenge. [NPR] by Jill Hudson First Up [Attorney General William Barr testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday about the special counsel report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.]( Nicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty Images Here’s what we’re following today. Attorney General William Barr is testifying about the Mueller report in the first of two hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Barr is expected to defend his handling of [the special counsel’s findings](. Special counsel Robert Mueller wrote a letter in late March objecting to the attorney general’s four-page summary of the Russia probe. [Mueller’s letter]( states that Barr’s summary "did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance" of the investigation. Most Democrats want impeachment hearings to begin now that the redacted Mueller report is public, but [that idea is still unpopular]( overall, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll. A shooting on the University Of North Carolina, Charlotte campus on Tuesday left two dead and four injured, three critically. A suspect, Trystan Andrew Terrell, 22, is [in custody]( and faces charges of murder and attempted murder in the attack. A British judge sentenced Julian Assange to 50 weeks in prison. The controversial founder of WikiLeaks was arrested in April after being pushed out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he had been living since 2012. Assange faces a hearing Thursday on [an extradition request]( from the U.S. government. A Minneapolis jury has found an ex-police officer guilty in the 2017 fatal shooting of an unarmed woman. Mohamed Noor was convicted of third-degree murder and manslaughter for killing Justine Ruszczyk, who called 911 to report a crime near her home and was shot when [she approached the police car](. Amid violence and mass protests in Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, the disputed president of Venezuela, refuses to leave the country. Supporters of [opposition leader Juan Guaidó]( took to the streets Tuesday in the so-called “final phase” of the uprising. --------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE: If you've had issues with our podcasts in your feeds today, a fix is being implemented.

[Kim has been living at the Epiphany Center, a treatment facility in San Francisco for women struggling with addiction, for the past six months. She says her teddy bear is her only material possession left from her past: "Because everything I had, I've lost over and over again."]( April Dembosky/KQED The return of methamphetamine is overwhelming police, ERs and treatment centers — especially west of the Mississippi River, where 70% of local law enforcement agencies say meth is their biggest drug threat. But, unlike opioid dependency, meth addiction has no reliable treatment. (Listening time, 5:52) [▶ LISTEN]( --------------------------------------------------------------- The Daily Good Winners of the NPR Student Podcast Challenge are announced. LA Johnson/NPR About 25,000 students around the country participated in the first NPR student contest.

But [two podcast submissions]( stood out to our panel of judges. --------------------------------------------------------------- Today's Listen Celebrities need comfort food, too! A Hollywood hangout turns 100. [Frank Sinatra and Lauren Bacall have a drink at Musso & Frank Grill in 1957.]( Frank Worth, Courtesy of Capital Art/Getty Images Musso & Frank Grill opened before there was a Hollywood sign. Since 1919, stars, studio heads and writers have settled into the restaurant's red leather banquettes to negotiate, gossip, eat and drink. (Listening time, 5:12) [▶ LISTEN]( --------------------------------------------------------------- The Picture Show Picking up a million pieces after a rare and angry storm. [Tamazina Carlos sits outside what remains of her house. The school assistant escaped just before the ceiling caved in. Since the cyclone hit on Thursday, she has been sleeping under a pile of palm fronds.]( Tommy Trenchard for NPR Imagine your house is gone. And yet the TV set is still standing. That's one of the scenes that photojournalist Tommy Trenchard documented as he visited parts of Mozambique hit by [Cyclone Kenneth](. The storm struck some six weeks after Cyclone Idai, which touched down in the northern region of the country. --------------------------------------------------------------- We'd love to hear your thoughts, questions and feedback: [dailynewsletter@npr.org](mailto:dailynewsletter@npr.org?subject=Newsletter%20Feedback) Enjoying this newsletter?
