  I'm Yasmeen Khan, in for Shumita Basu. This is Apple News Today.

  On today's show: Trump gets a key win in New Hampshire,
• 0:16
  understanding Israel's controversial plans for Gaza,
• 0:20
  and fans want to know why "Barbie"'s star and director were snubbed by Oscar voters.

  First, to the New Hampshire primary,
• 0:31
  where former President Donald Trump won that contest,
• 0:34
  getting a double-digit win over Nikki Haley.

  Donald Trump: Thank you.
• 0:38
  [CHEERING]
• 0:40
  Well, I want to thank everybody. This is a fantastic state.
• 0:44
  [CROWD CHEERS INDISTINCTLY]
• 0:44
  This is a great, great state.
• 0:47
  You know, we won New Hampshire three times now.
• 0:50
  Three. Three.

  Khan, Narrating: Haley did a bit better than polls indicated,
• 0:56
  but Trump still managed to win by around 10 percentage points.
• 0:59
  And this was in a state where moderates and independents play a big role,
• 1:03
  seen as favorable territory to Haley.
• 1:06
  Future contests look much tougher
• 1:08
  in states with a larger share of conservative voters.
• 1:12
  Still, Haley says the race isn't over.
• 1:15
  [START PBS NEWSHOUR ARCHIVAL CLIP]

  Nikki Haley: At one point in this campaign,
• 1:17
  there were 14 of us running, and we were at 2% in the polls.
• 1:23
  Well, I'm a fighter.
• 1:25
  [CROWD CHEERS]

  [END PBS NEWSHOUR ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 1:29
  Khan, Narrating: As for President Biden, he won the state easily.
• 1:32
  We talked yesterday on the show about how his supporters
• 1:34
  had to vote for him as a write-in candidate.
• 1:37
  That was because of the dispute between the National Democratic Party
• 1:40
  and New Hampshire over timing of the primary.
• 1:43
  And there are a couple of new developments in Donald Trump's legal cases.
• 1:48
  A federal appeals court is declining his request
• 1:51
  to reconsider its decision to mostly uphold a gag order on Trump.
• 1:55
  This is in the federal election interference case.
• 1:58
  The order limits what he can say about prosecutors, court staff,
• 2:01
  and potential witnesses.
• 2:04
  Also, the defamation trial involving E. Jean Carroll
• 2:07
  is now on hold until tomorrow.
• 2:09
  Trump was expected to take the stand yesterday or today,
• 2:12
  but the case has been postponed
• 2:14
  because of illness with a juror and one of Trump's lawyers.
• 2:18
  Abroad, Russian officials say
• 2:20
  a military plane carrying dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war,
• 2:24
  as well as Russian crew members, has crashed near the country's border
• 2:28
  and that everyone on board was killed.
• 2:31
  [AMBIENT MUSIC FADES IN]
• 2:31
  Moscow says the POWs were being transferred
• 2:34
  for a routine exchange of prisoners.
• 2:47
  Now to Gaza, where fighting has intensified in the south.
• 2:51
  Israel has moved forward
• 2:53
  with its biggest operation in a month there.
• 2:55
  [MUSIC FADES OUT]
• 2:56
  This is in Khan Younis,
• 2:57
  an area to where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have fled,
• 3:01
  seeking shelter from the earlier attacks on Gaza City in the north.
• 3:05
  Israeli forces have the area surrounded,
• 3:07
  and tanks have cut off a key road blocking an escape route for civilians.
• 3:12
  Palestinian health officials say around 200 people were killed in 24 hours,
• 3:17
  with thousands more feared lost under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
• 3:22
  In the background of all this,
• 3:24
  diplomats from the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt
• 3:27
  have been talking for weeks with Israel and Hamas
• 3:30
  about a potential ceasefire agreement.
• 3:32
  "Reuters" reports that the two sides seem closer to a deal.
• 3:36
  That could mean a 30-day truce,
• 3:38
  which would include the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas,
• 3:41
  and Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
• 3:44
  But that would only be a temporary ceasefire.
• 3:47
  "Reuters" also reports that both sides are far apart
• 3:50
  on any deal that would permanently end the war in Gaza.
• 3:54
  Also, we're learning more
• 3:55
  about the 21 Israeli soldiers killed on Monday.
• 3:59
  Israel says they were rigging explosives
• 4:01
  in order to demolish two buildings in Gaza near the border with Israel.
• 4:06
  The explosives went off during crossfire between Israeli soldiers and Hamas.
• 4:10
  That's drawing attention to Israel's reported plans
• 4:13
  to make a buffer zone between Gaza and Israel.
• 4:16
  This would potentially involve destroying a lot of buildings near the border.
• 4:20
  That would include Palestinian homes, potentially entire neighborhoods.
• 4:25
  Israeli supporters of a buffer zone say it's needed
• 4:27
  to prevent another cross-border attack like the one on October 7th,
• 4:31
  and that a buffer zone would make conditions safe enough for Israelis
• 4:35
  who fled their homes near Gaza to return.
• 4:38
  "Reuters" reported in December that Israel told Arab neighbors
• 4:42
  about a plan for a buffer zone, raising concerns that it could be a step
• 4:46
  toward another mass displacement of Palestinians.
• 4:49
  The United States has also opposed the idea,
• 4:52
  saying the buffer zone would reduce the already small size of Gaza,
• 4:56
  further crushing an overcrowded population.
• 4:59
  Here's State Department spokesperson Matt Miller last month.
• 5:03
  [START STATE DEPARTMENT ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 5:03
  Matt Miller: There must be no reduction in the size of Gaza.
• 5:07
  And that remains our position and it will remain our position.
• 5:10
  So if any proposed buffer zone was inside Gaza,
• 5:16
  that would be a violation of that principle,
• 5:17
  and it's something that we oppose.
• 5:19
  [END STATE DEPARTMENT ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 5:19
  Khan, Narrating: The White House says it's still against a buffer zone,
• 5:22
  though Secretary of State Antony Blinken
• 5:24
  seemed to be open to a temporary one this week.
• 5:27
  [START ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 5:28
  Antony Blinken: It is totally appropriate and something we support
• 5:33
  that those people be able to return to their homes
• 5:36
  and that the necessary security arrangements be in place
• 5:39
  to give them the confidence to do that.
• 5:41
  But when it comes to the permanent status of Gaza going forward,
• 5:47
  we've been clear, we remain clear about not encroaching on its territory.
• 5:51
  [END ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 5:51
  [AMBIENT MUSIC FADES IN]
• 5:52
  Khan, Narrating: A UN official told "The New York Times"
• 5:54
  that systematic destruction of homes could constitute a war crime.
• 6:12
  Cancer rates for young adults under the age of 50
• 6:14
  are climbing at an alarming pace worldwide.
• 6:17
  But the medical community doesn't know why.
• 6:20
  [MUSIC FADES OUT]
• 6:20
  "Wall Street Journal" health reporter Brianna Abbott
• 6:23
  has been talking with doctors who are racing to better understand
• 6:27
  why a disease associated with aging
• 6:29
  is now a rising risk for people in their 20s and 30s.
• 6:33
  [START ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 6:34
  Brianna Abbott: They suspect that sort of on a societal level,
• 6:37
  sort of changes in the way that we live,
• 6:39
  including less physical activity,
• 6:41
  more ultra-processed foods or change in diet,
• 6:44
  maybe new environmental toxins are contributing to this risk.
• 6:48
  But on top of that,
• 6:49
  obesity and lifestyle cannot fully account for this
• 6:52
  because a lot of what doctors are seeing are patients in their clinics
• 6:56
  who are young and otherwise healthy without any other obvious risk factors.
• 7:00
  And so that is sort of a major concern there.
• 7:03
  [END ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 7:04
  Khan, Narrating: A recent report from the American Cancer Society shows
• 7:07
  over 20 years, between 2000 and 2019,
• 7:11
  cancer diagnosis rates for people under 50 years old climbed nearly 13%.
• 7:17
  Doctors are seeing higher rates of more common cancers
• 7:19
  in younger patients,
• 7:20
  like breast cancer, prostate cancer, and melanoma.
• 7:24
  And spikes in less common forms of cancer,
• 7:26
  like pancreatic, uterine, and gastrointestinal.
• 7:30
  Abbott told us about Meilin Keene,
• 7:32
  who was diagnosed with stomach cancer when she was 27.
• 7:36
  [START ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 7:36
  Abbott: She had to postpone the bar exam that she was studying for.
• 7:39
  Chemotherapy sort of made it difficult for her to do her legal work at her job,
• 7:44
  and she had to get her stomach removed in December.
• 7:46
  [END ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 7:47
  Khan, Narrating: Gastrointestinal cancers, like stomach and colorectal cancer,
• 7:51
  are growing at the fastest rates among younger Americans.
• 7:55
  In 2019, one out of every five new patients was younger than 55,
• 8:00
  and the diagnosis rate for that group has nearly doubled since 1995.
• 8:05
  This has doctors scrambling to figure out what, exactly,
• 8:09
  is making younger people sick and how to identify the risk factors.
• 8:13
  [START ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 8:13
  Abbott: Doctors are thinking about everything from inactive lifestyles to microplastics.
• 8:18
  And another theory that a lot of doctors are considering
• 8:22
  is sort of changes in the gut microbiome.
• 8:25
  You know, all of the microorganisms that live in your digestive tract.
• 8:28
  Changes there from diet or widespread antibiotic use among kids,
• 8:34
  that sort of thing, could be changing our microbiomes,
• 8:37
  increasing inflammation,
• 8:39
  and sort of making folks more susceptible to cancer.
• 8:41
  [END ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 8:42
  Khan, Narrating: For younger people, cancer can be more deadly
• 8:45
  because cases are often diagnosed at later, more advanced stages
• 8:49
  when the cancer is more difficult for doctors to treat.
• 8:52
  One step being taken to improve the odds of detecting cases sooner
• 8:56
  has been to lower the recommended age for certain cancer screenings.
• 9:00
  Medical groups now recommend breast cancer screenings
• 9:02
  [UPBEAT MUSIC FADES IN]
• 9:03
  starting at age 40 and colorectal screenings starting at 45.
• 9:16
  It's now officially Oscar season, with nominations out yesterday.
• 9:21
  And now that people have had a chance to take it all in,
• 9:24
  [MUSIC FADES OUT]
• 9:24
  they have a lot to say about the Academy
• 9:26
  not quite grasping the message of last year's number one movie.
• 9:30
  [START BARBIE ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 9:30
  Barbie 1: Hi, Barbie.
• 9:31
  Barbie 2: Hi, Barbie.
• 9:32
  Barbie 3: Hi, Barbie.
• 9:33
  Barbie 4: Hi, Barbie.
• 9:33
  Barbie 5: Hi, Barbie.
• 9:34
  [END BARBIE ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 9:34
  Khan, Narrating: "Barbie" was a movie all about female empowerment,
• 9:37
  about the recognition women often fail to get.
• 9:41
  [START BARBIE ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 9:41
  Gloria: It is literally impossible to be a woman.
• 9:45
  You are so beautiful and so smart,
• 9:48
  and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough.
• 9:52
  [END BARBIE ARCHIVAL CLIP]
• 9:52
  Khan, Narrating: The woman who played Barbie, Margot Robbie,
• 9:55
  did not get a Best Actress nomination.
• 9:58
  Greta Gerwig didn't get a nomination for Best Director either.
• 10:02
  A nomination did go to Ken, played by Ryan Gosling,
• 10:05
  who was very good, by the way,
• 10:08
  but even he pointed out the irony, saying,
• 10:10
  "There is no Ken without Barbie,
• 10:12
  and there is no 'Barbie' movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie."
• 10:16
  "Their work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees."
• 10:21
  "Barbie" did get other major nominations, including Best Picture,
• 10:24
  and America Ferrera was nominated for her supporting role.
• 10:28
  The Academy has often been criticized
• 10:30
  for being too slow to recognize women filmmakers.
• 10:34
  Only one woman is up for Best Director this year,
• 10:36
  though three of the Best Picture nominees were directed by women.
• 10:41
  One thing the Academy cannot deny, "Barbie"'s financial success.
• 10:45
  It brought in close to $1.5 billion around the world,
• 10:49
  by far the number one movie of 2023.
• 10:52
  [OUTRO MUSIC FADES IN]
• 10:53
  As a lot of fans have noted,
• 10:54
  this snub could lay the groundwork for a great "Barbie" sequel.
