The World and Everything in It: April 29, 2025

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Good morning!

As the war continues in Ukraine, Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy talk peace terms.

MAY: What would a ceasefire mean? It could lead to a long-term freezing of the hostilities.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Also today, federal funding for Planned Parenthood faces new scrutiny. What could that mean for pro-life pregnancy centers?

And resilience in the face of natural disaster, we’ll meet a family picking up the pieces, over and over.

ROGERS:And the instant reaction is, ‘that's that's our house, and it's gone.’ It's right there, there's, there's our life.

And walking with those struggling with addiction.

REICHARD: It’s Tuesday, April 29th. This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Mary Reichard.

EICHER: And I’m Nick Eicher. Good morning!

REICHARD: Now the news. Here’s Kent Covington.

KENT COVINGTON, NEWS ANCHOR: Trump 100 days / border numbers » Today marks 100 days since President Trump moved into the White House for the second time.

How those 100 days have gone … of course, all depends on who you ask.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer:

SCHUMER:  The start of Donald Trump's second term has been the worst start of any president in modern times.

But the White House says Trump’s second term has thus far been a historic success … starting with the southern border.

Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair:

BLAIR:  Last month we had the lowest border crossings on record, and that's a result of not new legislation as Biden said we would need, but just a new president getting the job done.

And border czar Tom Homan told White House reporters that the United States, in his view, now has the most secure southern border in recorded U.S. history.

Trump executive orders » And President Trump Monday signed another executive order related to immigration.

It directs federal officials to publish lists of so-called ‘sanctuary’ cities and states that don’t cooperate with immigration authorities … and to look for federal funds that could be withheld from them.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:

LEAVITT:  We're gonna continue to forge ahead with this mass deportation campaign, and the president is open to all remedies to do that.

Trump also signed an order aimed at strengthening law enforcement. It calls for more training, better pay, and stronger legal protections for police officers.

Separately, the president signed an executive order directing the Department of Transportation to enforce rules requiring commercially licensed truck drivers … to be able to read and speak English. The administration says being able to read road signs and communicate with law enforcement is a matter of public safety.

Russia-Ukraine latest » Leavitt also told reporters that the president remains heavily focused on trying to broker an end to the war in Ukraine.

LEAVITT: The president has made it clear he wants to see a permanent ceasefire first to stop the killing—stop the bloodshed. 

Russia now says it’s planning to temporarily halt its attacks against Ukraine next month … but only for a few days: from May 8th through the 10th.

Vladimir Putin says the unilateral ceasefire will mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. That's the day Nazi Germany surrendered to the Allies in World War II.

Ukrainians on the ground say they're skeptical …

LUTSENKO: [Speaking Ukrainian]

One man heard there saying no one trusts Putin to keep his word, even for three days.

Leaders in Kyiv say they want a ceasefire of at least 30 days.

Vancouver car attack latest » The suspect in a deadly vehicle attack in Vancouver, British Columbia … faces at least eight counts of second degree murder … with more charges likely on the way.

Prosecutors say Kai-Ji Adam Lo drove an SUV into a crowd of people celebrating a Filipino festival Saturday night.

Vancouver Police Sergeant Steve Addison:

ADDISON: Here in Vancouver, for our community, our close community, our tight community, we've never experienced a crime to this scale, a crime this horrific.

Investigators do not believe it was an act of terrorism. Authorities say Lo has a history of mental health issues and encounters with police.

Four children killed when vehicle smashed through building » Meantime in Illinois Monday, several children were killed … when a car smashed through a building during an after-school program.

The crash occurred in Chatham outside of Springfield.

Deputy Police Chief Scott Tarter:

TARTER:  We can confirm that there are four fatalities, three that were struck outside of the building before the vehicle entered, and one inside. Several patients have been transferred to local area hospitals by ambulance and one by life flight helicopter.

The driver was uninjured but taken to a hospital for evaluation.

It wasn't immediately known what led up to the crash or whether it was intentional.

Canada election » The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation projected last night … that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has won Canada’s federal election.

The victory capped a dramatic turnaround for the Liberals.

Months ago, Canadian voters appeared ready to move on from a decade of Liberal Party rule. And opposition leader Pierre Poilievre enjoyed a big lead in the polls.

But Carney then shifted toward the center on some issues. And many political analysts believe the trade war with the United States led to a surge in nationalism that helped the Liberals flip the election narrative.

I’m Kent Covington.

Straight ahead: an update on the war in Ukraine. Plus, recovery efforts in North Carolina after last year’s hurricane and this spring’s wildfires.

This is The World and Everything in It.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: It’s Tuesday, the 29th of April.

Glad to have you along for today’s edition of The World and Everything in It. Good morning, I’m Mary Reichard.

NICK EICHER, HOST: And I’m Nick Eicher.

Up first, elusive peace.

In a moment, a conversation with our correspondent in Ukraine, but first, the latest in efforts to end the war.

On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a three-day ceasefire will take hold in May to mark the 80th anniversary of victory in World War II.

But here’s the reality for Ukraine.

REICHARD: Rescue workers combed through debris last week after drone and missile strikes hammered civilian areas of KyIv.

The attacks drew a sharp rebuke from President Trump, who wrote on Truth Social  “Vladimir, STOP!”

EICHER: The president later met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the funeral for Pope Francis on Saturday. Here he is after his return:

TRUMP: He told me that he needs more weapons, but he's been saying that for three years, he needs more weapons, and we're going to see what happens.

Foreign policy expert Clifford May says the meeting at the Vatican signals that Trump may be willing to turn up the heat on Russia.

MAY: I think it is at least possible that President Trump now will take up that offer do what he himself has suggested, and put some significant pressure on Putin, which he has not done to date.

REICHARD: So far, the U.S. has held off on ramping up sanctions or sending Ukraine additional weapons. But with Russian strikes intensifying, May thinks Trump could shift strategy.

MAY: What would a ceasefire mean? It could lead to a long-term freezing of the of the hostilities. And what I have in mind is something like Korea. What happened in Korea, there was a Korean war….there’s never been peace, but you have a frozen conflict, it’s lasted about 53 years now. You could have something along those lines.

EICHER: Still, he warns that if Trump does walk away from negotiations to focus on other foreign policy matters, it might backfire.

MAY: Then Putin will be incentivized to slaughter more Ukrainians, which I know President Trump does not want. It’ll be much more carnage.

WORLD Correspondent Will Fleeson was in Kyiv during recent attacks. He joins us now to talk about it.

REICHARD: Will, good morning, and how are you doing?

WILL FLEESON: Mary, I am as well as I could be. Here in Ukraine, when someone asks, “How are you?” the common joke is you say in Ukrainian or in Russian, zhivoy, which means “I'm alive.”

REICHARD: We're so relieved to hear that you are alive. This must be very hard. Let me ask you, what did you see in how Ukrainians marked Easter in Kyiv this year? After all, Russia had announced an Easter ceasefire.

FLEESON: Here in Kyiv, Mary, I'm seeing a mix of hope and fear. In early April, there was an attack on the central Ukrainian town of Kryvyi Ryi that included one missile that struck near a playground. That attack killed nine children and just as many adults. Just a week before Easter, there was a strike on Palm Sunday in the eastern city of Sumy, which killed three dozen and wounded more than 100 there was later a Good Friday attack in the eastern city of Kharkiv, which killed at least one and wounded over 120 so a literal barrage of violence and bad news.

Nonetheless, here in Kyiv, city residents were out in force for Easter. They were honoring the Orthodox tradition of bringing baskets full of food and drink to be blessed by local orthodox priests. Many of those men and women and families wore the traditional Ukrainian vyshyvanka, or embroidered peasant shirt, to these church rituals. So acts like showing up in easily targetable places like a church, while honoring Ukrainian traditions have taken on a symbolic meaning in light of these very recent and very painful attacks at my own church, a Baptist congregation here in Kyiv, we prayed for peace in Ukraine, as I'm sure other churches did around the country.

REICHARD: Mmm.hmm, yes, I imagine they did. So early Thursday is when Russia launched those missiles and drone strikes. What did you see and hear?

FLEESON: So the overall effect when I woke up that morning was one of stress and bewilderment in casual conversations, whether those were in coffee shops or gathering places across town, the Kyiv attack was on everyone's mind. Some people shelter every time, especially young parents or those with children in tow. Others are desensitized and carry on their daily business and simply ignore the air raid alerts when they ring out over the city.

REICHARD: You’ve been in Ukraine now since February. Have you noticed any changes in the national mood over there as the United States continues to work to bring the war to an end?

FLEESON: Mary, I wouldn't say that I've noticed a change in the national mood, as much as a continuation of a very hardened national mood. That national mood is formed from suffering as well as resolve. The Ukrainians who are still here and have chosen to stay in their country, have done so deliberately. They have they have had three years to leave. They're exhausted. They suffer what they have to as missiles rain down on their homes and cities, yet they're determined to survive this war and rebuild the country as best they can in these harsh circumstances. So again, between their suffering and their resolve, everything I've seen in three months among the among Ukrainians, suggests that they are willing to endure as long as it takes to secure peace, even if that means more suffering.

REICHARD: Will, do you have an example of that?

FLEESON: So one example is a contact of mine, Tim Vashchyshyn, who's a 31 year old Bible studies teacher. He and his wife just had a child a couple of months ago, and they've decided to start their family during war time, despite all the risks that we can imagine.

VASHCHYSHYN: A lot of people when he was born, everybody's like, is this the right time? Should you do this during the war? Is this a necessary thing to do? I'm like, Well, God has blessed us with a child, and it will be wrong not to enjoy this blessing.

REICHARD: Powerful testimony. Will Fleeson is a Correspondent for WORLD currently in Kyiv, Ukraine. Will, thanks for this report, and please stay safe.

FLEESON: Thank you, Mary.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Coming up next on The World and Everything in It: Good news for the pro-life movement.

Conservative calls to defund Planned Parenthood have gained some traction in recent months. But it won’t necessarily be easy to give that money to pro-life pregnancy centers.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: WORLD’s Anna Johansen Brown has our story, written by Bekah McCallum.

ANNA JOHANSEN BROWN: The abortion industry has faced pushback at the federal level recently. A few quick examples…

Less than two weeks before President Trump’s inauguration, conservatives in Congress reintroduced the Defund Planned Parenthood Act. The bill still awaits committee review.

Then, earlier this month, the Trump administration began withholding a portion of federal funding from 13 Planned Parenthood affiliates. The funding comes from a program designed to subsidize things like birth control and screening for sexually transmitted infections.

And, the Supreme Court is hearing a case that questions whether states can exclude Planned Parenthood as a Medicaid provider.

Of the roughly $700 million dollars that Planned Parenthood received from the government in 2023, most of that came from Medicaid payments. 

ISRAEL: And so that's not funding that is allocated to Planned Parenthood.

Melanie Israel is a scholar with the Heritage Foundation.

ISRAEL: That's them providing services to people who are eligible for Medicaid and then getting reimbursed for it.

She says that if the Supreme Court rules against Planned Parenthood, it won’t be the same as the government taking back a fixed sum of money. 

ISRAEL: It’s defunding in the sense that you will no longer be allowed to participate in this program.

Some pro-life groups would like to see Planned Parenthood money channelled to pregnancy resource centers instead. On April 17th, the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention issued a statement calling for taxpayer dollars to be redirected to pro-life centers.

That might be easier said than done. For one thing, most pregnancy resource centers aren’t eligible to serve as Medicaid providers. That’s because most pro-life centers don’t provide the kinds of gynecological services often covered by Medicaid like cancer screenings and birth control. 

ISRAEL: They can do ultrasounds, but when it's time to actually have a regular doctor's appointment, they're going to be referring women, you know, to affordable options. They're not necessarily doing those kinds of things in-house.

Even though Medicaid couldn’t help the majority of pro-life centers, some could get funding from Title X. This program allocates funding for services like contraception and STD testing for low-income individuals. It’s one of the main government grants Planned Parenthood receives. But it would be difficult to redirect this funding to volunteer-led pregnancy centers. 

ISRAEL: The process of applying for those grants and staying in compliance I mean that is a really time-consuming process. A lot of organizations have people who work for them full time, specifically just handling grants. It’s a massive undertaking.

That’s just one reason why most pregnancy centers rely primarily on private donations.

According to Jor-El Godsey, president of Heartbeat International, some pro-life groups refuse government help as a matter of conviction.

GODSEY: Many centers are usually opposed to government funding. There are those who take a...They take a stand that they're not going to ask the government to do this because of that local support and their conviction that the local community, particularly the faith community, should be the ones stepping in and helping in this manner, in this way.

Still, support for pregnancy centers is growing in some conservative states. Eighteen states offer alternatives to abortion funding. There’s also a program known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families—or TANF. It provides federal dollars that four states direct towards pro-life centers. During the Biden administration, officials proposed a rule banning pro-life centers from receiving TANF funds. Katie Glenn Daniel is director of legal affairs and policy counsel at Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. 

DANIEL: So that's another funding stream that under Joe Biden pregnancy centers felt either they actively became ineligible, or they worried that there would be requirements to refer or counsel or say positive things about elective abortion if they participated in the program.

The Biden administration withdrew the proposed TANF change in late 2024. Legislative efforts could protect pregnancy centers from funding discrimination. Republican Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey introduced the “Let Pregnancy Centers Serve Act” in March. 

SMITH: Notwithstanding any other law, the federal government, and any individual or entity that receives federal financial assistance including any state or local government may not penalize or retaliate against any entity because the entity offers life-affirming support and resources to women facing unexpected pregnancy.

But for now, some pregnancy centers remain wary of applying for government support. Jim Harden is CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services in New York. He estimates the organization’s five centers provide upwards of $3 million worth of free medical care to women each year. CompassCare does not receive any government money, and Harden doesn’t anticipate that changing anytime soon. 

HARDEN: We could theoretically apply for funding, but we'd have to submit to the state's regulations around their definition of comprehensive reproductive health care. There, the state's definition of comprehensive reproductive healthcare includes abortifacient contraception, abortion referrals, and abortion provision.

Harden believes that pregnancy centers will continue to serve mothers and families. But he agreed that funding, as long as it doesn’t come with requirements to endorse abortion, could help the cause. 

HARDEN: Pregnancy centers basically do everything except for abortion. And meanwhile, abortionists do nothing but abortion, and for a fee, and we do everything for free. We should be the ones getting all this money.

For WORLD, I’m Anna Johansen Brown

NICK EICHER, HOST: Okay, first thing we do here is we slow everything… waaaaay… down.

Like this.

Because if you’re tired of the fast-paced life…, Sweden has the perfect solution.

Moose.

Walking.

Very slowly.

It’s called The Great Moose Migration — a 20-day livestream. It started April 15th. And if you’ve ever seen a moose migrate: Blink all you like, you won’t miss much.

Think of it as Bob Ross meets a herd of happy little moose.

Executive producer Johan Erhag:

ERHAG: Everyone is so stressed today with the social media and the way we produce everything we do in our life. And this is the total opposite of that.

No mistakes, just happy little accidents, happy little hoofprints across the countryside.

Now, back to our regular quick pace.

It’s The World and Everything in It.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Today is Tuesday, April 29th.

Thank you for turning to WORLD Radio to help start your day.

Good morning. I’m Mary Reichard.

NICK EICHER, HOST: And I’m Nick Eicher.

Coming next on The World and Everything in It: Revisiting victims of Hurricane Helene.

REICHARD: The storm ripped through the Southeast last September, leaving a trail of wreckage.

Many communities have bounced back. But for others? They are looking at years of restoration work.

EICHER: And winter storms and wildfires since then have only made things worse. WORLD’s Mary Muncy met one man trying to keep his head above water and smoke out of his eyes.

MATTHEW ROGERS: The only thing you can recognize is like, where the water heater was.

MARY MUNCY: Matthew Rogers is walking around what's left of his house in Flat Rock, North Carolina. A construction worker is here, trying to figure out how much it will cost to rebuild.

ROGERS: I saw the policy. It ain't going to cover it, so they've got to work with us on that.

They’re not rebuilding from Hurricane Helene. The Rogers’ house and family survived that. But last month, a wildfire swept through and burned the Rogers’ home to the ground.

Rogers and his wife moved here 40 years ago, into a log cabin on a hill in the middle of the woods about an hour south of Asheville.

He spent decades planting azaleas, building a dock on the pond, putting in rock walls.

ROGERS: These steps here, you know, for years, before I had money, I just would myself cut down trees and put mulch in - I made it a project…

For some in Helene's path, the hurricane started what may be years of recover, compounded by further problems even as they rebuild.

When Rogers first moved to North Carolina, he opened a sandwich shop and bought the cabin nearby. Winter was about the only time they had a problem getting from their house to the sandwich shop… then Hurricane Helene hit.

ROGERS: Trees fell down all over the roads that we had to chainsaw out for Saturday and Sunday and we get to the main road, you know, it's news that the bridge, the big, Big Hungry River bridge, and it's gone. It was like metal was down the river.

That bridge connects Rogers and his neighbors to the main road. With it gone, they were trapped.

Three days after the hurricane hit, some rescuers delivered food and water by zipline… and airlifted some residents with health issues out, leaving Rogers and the remaining neighbors to figure out what to do.

ROGERS: I've been up there long enough to know that there's a way to go out the game lands at the end of Big Hungry through some trails. And I had a Jeep, and I thought if I could get to Deep Gap Road, I could get to Hendersonville.

So about a week after the hurricane, Rogers and his wife loaded up the Jeep and took off through the woods, trying to get to their sandwich shop.

ROGERS: The restaurant was fine. No loss of power. The basement's fine. So we went up and started helping people and serving and getting our employees back.

They put a bed in the basement of the sandwich shop and started living there.

ROGERS: I'm not late. We got coffee, we got food here. So we stayed. And there was no reason for us to go home, because we knew that if you went out the back way, you could get stuck on the muddy trail.

Eventually, they moved into a friend’s basement apartment. They thought the worst was over. They returned to the cabin in December to celebrate Christmas and grab some winter clothes… then went back to living in their apartment.

Then, in March, the state finished a temporary one-lane bridge to their neighborhood.

ROGERS: We all felt like our lives are back where you can take your groceries and if you needed a delivery of a new washing machine, you didn't have to say, well, when the bridge six months ago gets back, we all felt good.

They went back for a neighborhood potluck the following Saturday, but still weren’t living there that day they could see smoke in the distance. The next day, Rogers’ neighborhood evacuated. They watched the fire inch closer, and the next morning, Rogers woke to a video of a burning foundation. A firefighter had posted it online.

SOUND: [HELICOPTER OVER HOUSE]

ROGERS: and the instant reaction is, ‘that's that's our house, and it's gone.’ It's right there, there's, there's our life.

The Black Cove fire burned over 7,500 acres and was one of several major fires burning in the Carolinas in March.

The Rogers’ house was the only one in their neighborhood that burned.

ROGERS: And we cry, and then we we rejoice that we're alive and that no firefighters, we found out, were harmed. Our neighbors are fine.

The North Carolina Forest Service says there were twice as many wildfires this March compared with last year. Some blame a combination of dry conditions and downed trees after Helene. The double whammy has put a strain on people trying to help out.

ADRIAN MINES: There's always something happening, if it's not every week, it's every other week.

Adrian Mines works with the Red Cross for the North Carolina region.

MINES: So… how can we help build resiliency while we're having continuous response when people are overwhelmed and feel burnt out?

“Continuous response” is a disaster relief term for sustained, ongoing effort… and it’s what the Red Cross is facing in North Carolina right now. The agency expects to be working in the state for at least another two or three years… providing things like tent warmers and helping to rebuild homes.

MINES: I think we have to find our new normal. I don't think we're going to get back to our previous normal before Helene.

And he has firsthand knowledge.

MINES: From my home, we were able to see the smoke.

In March, a wildfire started near his town too.

Helicopters hovered over their homes. Mines and his neighbors stayed glued to the news and monitored wildfire apps. Which way would the flames shift? How much would the fire consume?

MINES: It was scary, you know, I think it definitely triggered some trauma for the community members.

Mines’ and his neighbors' homes were fine.

Back at the restaurant, Rogers and his wife are making plans.

Rogers says they won’t rebuild their house, they want to turn the land into a small summer camp and buy a smaller house closer to the restaurant.

He says some days are harder than others. But he’s keeping his eyes on what he has, not on what he’s lost.

ROGERS: I can be like Job in a small way, and just realize that I'm still here, my wife and I still our family has their health, and we're going to be okay from this event.

Reporting for WORLD, I’m Mary Muncy in Hendersonville and Flat Rock, North Carolina.

NICK EICHER:, HOST Today is Tuesday, April 29th. Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from listener-supported WORLD Radio. I’m Nick Eicher.

MARY REICHARD, HOST: And I’m Mary Reichard. Up next…WORLD contributor Daniel Darling says famous stories of recovery should inspire those helping addicts to overcome.

DANIEL DARLING: It's been quite a ride for Beverly Aikins. In 2015, she was at rock bottom. Homeless and living out of her car, she had no contact with her children and had squandered a promising nursing career. Her story is portrayed in the bestselling Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance, made into a movie by director Ron Howard.

Little did Mrs. Aikins know that a decade later her journey of recovery would be celebrated in one of the most powerful rooms in the world. Her son—now the vice president of the United States—kept a campaign promise and honored her at the White House.

It’s a beautiful story, from despair to hope. Given a pain-killer at work one day, the nurse immediately knew she’d have a craving for more drugs. She soon spiraled into abusing both narcotics and alcohol, even selling substances in the hospital. She lost her Ohio nursing license. In his book, Vance chronicled the trauma he suffered with an unstable mother, remembering vividly the time she was arrested.

Though their relationship was understandably rocky during his formative years, Vice President Vance and his mother have since grown close, and he has celebrated her remarkable recovery…both privately and publicly.

Earlier this month—with the White House seal behind him—the vice president said, “Well, here we are. And you made it, and we made it. And most importantly, you’re celebrating a very, very big milestone. And I’m just very proud of you. I’m, I’m gonna try not to cry here.”

You couldn’t blame him if he did cry. This was not only an important moment for this improbable occupant of one of the most powerful positions in the world, but an important moment for many Americans. Men and women like Beverly Aikins who battle drug and alcohol addictions. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health forty-eight million Americans struggle with substance abuse. Like the Vance family, that represents a lot of heartache, misery, and despair. Drug problems in our communities have faces.

Many families weep and pray over sons or daughters, mothers or fathers, who can’t seem to overcome the grip of addiction.

The vice presidency is a powerful platform. By highlighting his mother’s story, Vice President Vance can point many other Americans to find help and hope. It reminds me of the powerful way in which first lady Betty Ford shared her own struggles with addiction. Many thousands of people have been helped by the Fords’ establishment of treatment centers across the country.

For Christians, Beverly Aikins’s story should be a reminder that many like her exist in our communities…precious souls who struggle with serious addictions. The church can offer help and hope for those who struggle under the weight of the fall. The gospel offers forgiveness of sin, redemption, and the possibility of change through the power of the Holy Spirit. Even for those who know the Lord, the path away from addiction is rarely easy or quick. In a fallen world sanctification comes in fits and starts.

This is why God’s people must come alongside those who have found themselves on the margins of society. Jesus often walked among those who had come to the end of themselves. He offered to them—and to us—the promise found in Matthew chapter 11 verse 28: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

I’m Daniel Darling.

NICK EICHER, HOST: Tomorrow, Washington Wednesday. We’ll report on the tug of war between the White House and the courts over injunctions. And, the story of one man’s escape from Saigon and his lifelong mission to reunite with the family he left behind. That and more tomorrow.
