Up First from NPR - Biden’s Next Steps, French Election Results, Boeing To Plead Guilty, Beryl Hits Texas

More Congressional Democrats have called for President Joe Biden to step down, but he is receiving unwavering support from others in his administration. France's far right party fell short in legislative elections yesterday, Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to fraud charges stemming from the crashes of two 737 Max jets, and Hurricane Beryl makes landfall in Texas.

Today's episode of Up First was edited by Russell Lewis, Roberta Rampton, Mark Katkov, Janaya Williams, and Alice Woelfle. It was produced by Ziad Buchh, Ben Abrams and Kaity Kline. We get engineering support from Carleigh Strange. And our technical director is Stacey Abbott.

An earlier version of this episode mistakenly identified the four members who called for President Joe Biden to step aside as House committee chairs. They are House committee ranking members.

The earlier version also mistakenly identified Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) as House speaker. He is House minority leader.

In addition, the earlier version indicated that the French far-right was routed by a coalition of parties from the center and the left. It was a coalition of leftist parties on the one hand and the French president's centrist allies on the other.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The English Premier League

The most popular sports league in the world in terms of the number of people who follow and watch is the English Premier League. 

Unlike other sports leagues, the English Premier League is relatively new. It was only created in the early 90s in response to the poor condition of top-division football at the time. 

Since then, it has brought in billions in revenue for the clubs that have played in the league, as well as some of the world’s highest salaries for its players. 

Learn more about the English Premier League, how it was formed, and its possible future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘At the Edge of Empire’ traces China’s history through Edward Wong’s family

The central character of New York Times correspondent Ed Wong's memoir, At the Edge of Empire, is not Wong himself — it's his father, who studied in Beijing in the 1950s and staunchly supported the Chinese Communist Revolution. Wong's book traces his father's disillusionment with Mao's government and eventual move to the U.S. In today's episode, he speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about intertwining his family's personal story with the greater history of his parents' home country, and what Americans can still stand to learn about Chinese citizens.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Horrible Voyage of the 1905 Russian Baltic Fleet (Encore)

In February 1904, the Russian Empire found itself at war with the Empire of Japan over what was territory in the current nation of China. 

The problem for Russia was that a big chunk of its navy was located in the Baltic Sea, and the war was in Asia. 

The Baltic fleet was sent on an incredibly long and interesting voyage to get the ships into battle.

Learn more about the disastrous voyage of the Imperial Russian Baltic Fleet and how it helped change the course of Russian history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Why No One’s Winning Young Voters (Ep. 5)

Jon is joined by youth polling experts John Della Volpe and Kristen Soltis Anderson to talk about apathy among young voters this election cycle. Why are they so disengaged? Are some truly defecting to Trump? And what message, if any, can get them out for the polls? Jon, John, and Kristen dive into the focus group tape to unpack Gen Z’s opinions of our octogenarian presidential candidates, their top economic issues, and the war in Gaza. And Anderson Clayton, the 26-year-old Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, joins to talk about Gen Z’s faith in their own ability to improve democracy.
