The News Roundup For April 1, 2022 - a podcast by NPR

As the war in Ukraine rages on, and oil prices remain in flux. President Joe Biden has promised to send more aid to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his forces while also releasing barrels from the U.S. oil reserve to soften gas prices.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the so-called "don't say gay" bill into law.

Meanwhile, European countries are strategizing to cut dependence on Russian gas. Germany has thrown the switch on a plan to ration gas as the war in Ukraine continues.

And security was bolstered across Israel and the occupied territories this week after a Palestinian gunman killed five in what is their fifth attack in less than two weeks.

We cover all this and more during the News Roundup.
