White House welcomes Afrikaners to the U.S., but drops protection for Afghan allies

1 day ago | southcarolinapublicradio.org | Quil Lawrence |Tom Bowman

As many as 9,000 Afghan refugees are at risk of deportation, as the Trump administration has ended the temporary protected status (TPS) that allowed them to stay in the U.S. legally. The White House says their country is no longer dangerous for them, a contention that confounds Afghanistan watchers. "It's a death penalty for them if they return," said Zia Ghafoori, who worked as an interpreter in combat with U.S. Army Special Forces from 2002 to 2014.
Republicans face a crucial stretch this week as they aim to deliver on Trump's agenda

1 day ago | southcarolinapublicradio.org | Deirdre Walsh |Elena Moore

By the end of this month, House Republicans hope to finalize the details of President Trump's "big beautiful bill" that includes sweeping changes to tax, immigration and energy policy. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has already muscled a budget blueprint for the plan through the chamber. But this week poses a much thornier task, as three key House committees are putting pen to paper defining policies that will have far-reaching impacts on Americans' pocketbooks and for many, their healthcare.
This country is slowing climate action. Its capital city is stepping up

1 day ago | southcarolinapublicradio.org | Julia Simon

VIENNA – Vienna's city hall, with its stone towers and gargoyles, often reminds visitors of another neo-gothic building, says city council member Nina Abrahamczik. "Children who come with the school classes are like, 'Oh, it looks like Hogwarts,'" she says. But Abrahamczik, who heads the city's climate and environment committee, says this building has something Hogwarts doesn't: solar panels.

LONDON — Someone set fire to the door of a house British Prime Minister Keir Starmer used to live in, and police say they've arrested a 21-year-old suspect. London's Metropolitan Police say the man was arrested early Tuesday in connection with a series of arson attacks in northern London. He remains in custody. The first fire took place Thursday last week, targeting a vehicle. The second was Sunday, with a fire at the entrance of a property associated with Starmer.
Rounds of heavy rains to continue on Monday across South Carolina

3 days ago | southcarolinapublicradio.org | Irene Sans

Heavy rain will continue to fall across South Carolina at the beginning of the week. Periods of heavy rain will continue to stream mainly south to north as a low-pressure system passes just to our west. The positioning of this low-pressure system is pulling lots of deep tropical moisture across the Palmetto State, which will stay producing the chance for flash floods throughout the day. Some showers will still linger around on Tuesday; therefore, a few spots may develop flooding again.
Forecast: Flash flood risk continues over South Carolina

4 days ago | southcarolinapublicradio.org | Irene Sans

Flash flood risk continues to increase as we move across South Carolina through the weekend and into the beginning of next week. A wide, low-pressure system moves slowly east, then northeastward, and its spin allows deep tropical moisture to flow over much of the Southeast, including South Carolina. The stream of moisture will be constant, bringing plenty of rain and scattered storms.
If your yard's big enough, plant an oak tree.

Hello, I'm Amanda McNulty with Clemson Extension and Making It Grow. Thirty years ago, I got some small white oak seedlings, then planted them in my yard. Now I have five great big oak trees. And thank goodness, as oak trees serve as the larval food source for almost a thousand different caterpillars. And fortuitously, these trees are growing in a natural area. No fancy mondo grass or such under them, as most caterpillars drop from the trees and burrow into soil or leaf litter to pupate.
