In a different world, opposition leader Maria Corina Machado would be leading Venezuela. That’s what many Venezuelans expected after authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro was ousted from power earlier this year following his capture by U.S. forces.
Instead, Machado remains outside the country, as President Donald Trump continues to work with Maduro’s former vice president, Delcy Rodriguez. NPR host Mary Louise Kelly asked Machado about that dynamic.
You can hear Maria Corina Machado talk about her plans for Venezuela, her relationship with President Donald Trump, and about plans for Machado’s return to the country at the link in the bio or on YouTube or Spotify.

Three years ago, NPR correspondent Rhitu Chatterjee reported on studies showing that simply chatting with strangers has a lasting impact: It can make the participants happy. Even smiling and waving hello to a vendor you see regularly can boost your spirits, says psychologist Gillian Sandstrom, who delved into the benefits of social ties after her own uplifting exchanges with a hot dog seller during a time when she was feeling really isolated.
The article struck a chord with readers, who shared their own stories of random encounters. And it keeps on inspiring people. A few weeks ago, we heard from Kristin Jenkins, an infection preventionist and a global health professor at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Mich. She told us that she asks her students to read the story and then try engaging with strangers and casual acquaintances.
She had thought they'd enjoy the assignment. And they did. What surprised her was how many of her students, "whether they were an introvert or extrovert, indicated that they wanted to continue practicing intentionality. This illustrates an important life lesson; when we are deliberate in showing kindness — even through simple conversations — it benefits us as much as the recipient."

All Things Considered host Mary Louise Kelly asked Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado what she plans to do when she returns home.
Machado hasn’t been back in Venezuela since December, when she traveled to Norway to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. She was awarded the prize in recognition of her work to promote democracy in her country.
You can hear Maria Corina Machado talk with Mary Louise Kelly about her plans for Venezuela and her relationship with U.S. President Trump.

The U.S. says 17 Americans and one Briton who were on board a cruise ship where the rare hantavirus was found, have now arrived in the U.S. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, one of the passengers tested positive for the virus on the flight home and a second passenger is experiencing mild symptoms.
Some of the passengers who returned to the U.S. are quarantining at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Neb. All will undergo clinical evaluation. According to the CDC, symptoms can take up to 42 days after exposure to show up. The World Health Organization says the risk to the general public remains low and the outbreak is "not the start of another COVID pandemic."

The NTSB is investigating a fatal accident at Denver’s airport Friday night.
A person crossing a runway was hit and killed by a Frontier Airlines plane that was taking off. The pedestrian had jumped a fence to get onto the tarmac. Some passengers said the cabin was filling with smoke, and the pilots aborted takeoff.
The NTSB is also examining how passengers exited the plane.

Doctors soon may not be able to mail people the abortion pill Mifepristone. That would increase barriers, but experts say it won't stop people's ability to get the pills in the mail. Getting abortion pills without a doctor’s oversight isn’t new — in fact its history begins nearly 50 years ago, in Brazil.
Tap the link in our bio for more from "The Network," from NPR's Embedded podcast and Futuro Media (@futuromedia), about how a loosely connected movement has been helping people access the pills this way for decades.

There's a category of special education that stands out from the rest. It's designed for kids who struggle with their emotions and behaviors, known at the federal level as "emotional disturbance." More than 300,000 students in the U.S. currently have this label. Often, these students are taught in separate classrooms or even separate schools.
Reporter Laurie Stern shares how this disability label shaped the life of one student who she followed for nearly two years — and what his experience reveals about how the label can simultaneously support and limit students.

In South Korea, a Buddhist order has "ordained" a robot monk.
Nicknamed “Gabi,” meaning Buddha’s mercy, the robot monk led prayer at a temple in central Seoul this week, helping human monks chant Buddhist sutras. Gabi was inducted into a prominent Buddhist order in South Korea, and its “ordination” was a sign of how Asia’s Buddhist communities have been trying to update and mainstream their faith practice.
In Japan, where Buddhism is also widely practiced, a robot monk prototype, dubbed "the Buddharoid" by its inventors, is programmed with scripture and can correct those studying Buddhist texts.
