Nov. 11, 2025, 1:26 AM EST / Updated Nov. 11, 2025, 1:52 AM ESTBy Mithil Aggarwal and Jay GanglaniIndian authorities are investigating “all options” after at least eight people were killed Monday night in a rare car blast that tore through a neighborhood in the capital that is popular with tourists.At least 20 others were injured in the explosion near the historic Red Fort in Delhi, which took place at 6:52 p.m. local time (8:22 a.m. ET) and left the surrounding area laced with charred vehicles.A “slow-moving vehicle” had stopped at a red light at an intersection when it exploded, Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha told reporters Monday, starting a large fire that spread to nearby cars and rickshaws. Officials have not said what caused the explosion or identified any suspects. Delhi Police have registered a case under anti-terrorism laws and are building the “sequence of events,” Deputy Commissioner Raja Banthia told reporters Tuesday morning. “It is too premature to comment upon anything,” he added.Footage verified by NBC News showed burned vehicles at the scene of the explosion, where investigators are combing for forensic evidence that could help determine the cause.Witnesses described seeing body parts strewn around the area.“It was like an earthquake, the impact and intensity was very powerful,” said Wadqas Shaikh, a 34-year-old pharmacy owner in the nearby Chandni Chowk market.“We were shocked,” he said. Home Minister Amit Shah said Monday night that it was too early to say whether the blast was a terrorist attack, telling reporters that investigators are exploring all possibilities.“We will investigate all angles with determination,” he said.Shah was expected to chair a meeting with top intelligence officials on Tuesday morning. Forensic experts inspecting the blast site in Delhi on Tuesday.Arun Sankar / AFP – Getty ImagesDefense Minister Rajnath Singh said Tuesday that the investigation findings “will soon be made public.”“Those responsible for this tragedy will be brought to justice and will not be spared under any circumstances,” he said.The blast has rattled nerves in India, which almost went to war with its neighbor and fellow nuclear power, Pakistan, over an April terrorist attack in the disputed region of Kashmir that killed 26 people, mostly Indian tourists. India, which said Pakistan-backed armed militants were responsible, launched airstrikes on Pakistan, which denied involvement in the attack. Dozens of people were killed on both sides of the border in the following days before a ceasefire agreement was reached. Monday’s blast occurred outside the 17th-century Red Fort, once the seat of Mughal emperors and now a major tourist destination, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivers an address every Aug. 15 to mark India’s Independence Day.Security has been ramped up at key locations around Delhi, which has a population of nearly 33 million people, including the country’s busiest airport, several monuments, and train stations, India’s federal police unit, the CISF, said in a post on X.The Red Fort metro station was closed on Tuesday “due to security reasons,” the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation said on X. The fort itself has also been closed until Thursday, the archaeology agency said.Neighboring states Uttar Pradesh — the country’s most populous and home to the Taj Mahal — and Haryana have also been put on high alert, police there said. India’s financial hub, Mumbai, in the country’s south, is also on high alert, police said.The State Department expressed its condolences and advised U.S. citizens to stay away from crowded areas, especially around the Red Fort. The blast occurred hours before President Donald Trump swore in Sergio Gor as the U.S. ambassador to India.Modi, whose Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party governs Delhi and also faces key elections this week in the northern state of Bihar, shared his condolences Monday in a post on X and said he had “reviewed the situation” with Shah.The blast occurred hours after police in Kashmir, India’s only Muslim-majority region, said they had arrested several people linked to prominent terrorist groups and seized over 6,300 pounds of explosive materials in a joint operation involving police in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. It was not clear whether the arrests were related.While blasts such as the one on Monday are rare, it evoked memories of previous attacks targeting Delhi.A briefcase bomb killed about 12 people when it went off outside the High Court in 2011, a decade after gunmen stormed the parliament and killed more than a dozen people.Mithil AggarwalMithil Aggarwal is a Hong Kong-based reporter/producer for NBC News.Jay GanglaniJay Ganglani is NBC News’s 2025-26 Asia Desk Fellow.

Nov. 10, 2025, 10:30 PM ESTBy Zoë RichardsPresident Donald Trump on Monday doubled down on his criticism of air traffic controllers who have been absent during parts of the record-long government shutdown, when they’re required to work without pay.During a Fox News interview, Trump roundly dismissed the employees who in some cases have had to take on second jobs to pay their bills amid a funding lapse that will hit the six-week mark on Tuesday.“You know, a lot of people who showed up also had a second job. They took a second job temporarily. But they all know the money’s coming, and the money was coming,” Trump told host Laura Ingraham.Air traffic controllers are classified as essential government workers, meaning they must show for work during a shutdown, even though they’re not getting paid. Members of the military, who are also essential workers, have received paychecks during the funding lapse.Trump has been inconsistent in recent remarks about backpay for federal employees when the government reopens.He said last month that “it depends who we’re talking about,” when asked whether he supported back pay for federal employees, and that there “are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of, and we’ll take care of them in a different way.”The Trump administration has also explored ways to prevent furloughed workers from getting back pay, despite a 2019 federal law requiring back pay, including through a draft memo last month that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said did not entitle federal workers to retroactive pay.The memo appeared to contradict the Office of Management and Budget’s earlier guidance which indicated that in the event of a shutdown, federal workers would be paid for any lapses in pay.Trump’s comments Monday on Fox News came after he urged air traffic controllers in a social media post earlier in the day to return to work, days after the Federal Aviation Administration began canceling flights at dozens of major U.S. airports in a move that officials said was intended offset staffing shortages.Trump threatened to dock the pay of those who didn’t report to work, while saying that he would recommend $10,000 bonuses for those who hadn’t been absent during the shutdown.“For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He reiterated that sentiment on Fox News, saying, “I want to reward the people that showed up without a lot of nonsense, without a lot of talk.””They did their job and in many cases, they worked longer hours to get us through this period,” Trump added.Asked how he would pay the bonuses, Trump said: “I don’t know. I’ll get it from some place.”More broadly, Trump dismissed growing concerns about the economy among voters. After declaring that “the economy is the strongest it’s ever been,” Ingraham asked Trump why people are saying they’re anxious about the economy.”I don’t know what they are saying,” Trump responded. “I think polls are fake. We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had.”A recent NBC News poll found that about two-thirds of respondents nationwide said Trump hasn’t delivered on his promises to curb inflation and improve the economy.The president also weighed in on the legal fight over funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, saying the program “really puts the company, the country, in jeopardy.”He then expressed disdain for “able-bodied people” whom he claimed were leaving their jobs to obtain SNAP benefits.”People that need it have to get it. I’m all for it, but people that are able-bodied, can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it’s easier,” Trump said. “That’s not the purpose of it.”The Trump administration on Monday filed a supplemental Supreme Court briefing seeking to extend a pause imposed last week to block full federal funding of food assistance program’s benefits to its roughly 42 million recipients.The Senate passed a bill Monday night to reopen the government, with a provision that would ensure SNAP benefits are available through next September. The measure now heads to the House.Zoë RichardsZoë Richards is a politics reporter for NBC News.

Nov. 13, 2025, 11:00 AM ESTBy Kaitlin SullivanEating more ultra-processed foods is tied to an increased risk of precancerous colorectal growths in women under 50, according to a study published Thursday in JAMA Oncology.These growths, called adenomas or polyps, can later turn into cancer and are a good indicator of a person’s cancer risk, experts say.Rates of colorectal cancer in people under 50 have risen sharply in recent decades. The findings could offer new insights into what’s driving this increase.“One approach we’ve been taking is trying to understand what has changed in our environment that could be driving this. What are some trends that mirror this acceleration in cancer rates?” said study leader Dr. Andrew Chan, a gastroenterologist and the chief of the clinical and translational epidemiology unit at Massachusetts General Brigham in Boston.Ultra-processed foods now make up the bulk of the average American’s diet, especially among kids. The foods, which tend to be high in calories, have been linked to depression, Type 2 diabetes and early death. Some experts have also suspected eating these foods could be driving the increase in colorectal cancer rates among young people.To test this hypothesis, Chan and his team used data from more than 29,000 women who participated in the Nurses’ Health Study II, an ongoing study of female registered nurses established in 1989. The women, who were between 24 and 42 when they enrolled in the study, were followed for 24 years, from 1991 through 2015. Every four years, everyone filled out a questionnaire about their diets, and everyone had at least one colonoscopy before 50.The researchers looked at whether the women were diagnosed with precancerous polyps: either adenomas, which are more likely to turn into cancer, or serrated lesions. While only about 5% of adenomas are cancerous, about 75% of colorectal cancers start as adenomas, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Serrated lesions are still considered precancerous but are linked to fewer cases of colorectal cancer, Chan said.The study found a connection between eating more ultra-processed foods and developing an adenoma before 50. It didn’t see any links between the foods and serrated lesions.Because the majority of colon cancers arise from adenomas, the study showing a link between eating more ultra-processed foods and an increased risk of developing adenomas specifically gave Chan and his team more confidence that these foods could increase colorectal cancer risk, he said.“The strength was that we looked at two major types of polyps — it’s the adenoma type that seems to underlie cancer, and we saw the link between that,” he said. “About 1,200 women in the study developed adenomas. Compared to those who ate the fewest ultra-processed foods, those who ate the most — accounting for one-third of their daily calories — were about 1.5 times more likely to develop adenomas. Specific foods also appeared to increase risk. Diets higher in sugar and artificial sweeteners were most linked to higher rates of adenomas, followed by diets high in sauces, spreads and condiments.Although the study included only women, the majority of whom were white, other studies have also found a link between men eating more ultra-processed foods and developing cancer.“We don’t have any reason to believe there would be a difference in men compared to women,” Chan said, adding that additional research should include men to be sure.Most colorectal polyps do not turn into cancer, but nearly all colorectal cancer does start as a polyp, said Dr. Folasade May, a gastroenterologist and an associate professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, who wasn’t involved with the research.This is why doctors remove any polyps they find during a colonoscopy, and why people who have polyps are considered to be at higher risk for developing colorectal cancer. “They are looking at the first step, who is more likely to get these polyps that can turn into cancer,” May said of the study.The problem is that routine screening for colorectal cancer does not happen until age 45, said Dr. Christopher Lieu, the co-director of gastrointestinal medical oncology at the University of Colorado Anschutz School of Medicine in Aurora.“The concern is that whenever you have a polyp in a young person, that polyp is allowed to grow unnoticed, and because you are not screening those young patients,” Lieu said. This makes it even more important to identify the modifiable lifestyle factors that are driving increased rates of colorectal cancer in young people, added Lieu, who wasn’t involved with the new research.Although scientists have yet to determine a clear cause, the rise in rates is unlikely to be driven by genetics, May said.“This has happened very fast, so it is likely unfortunately something we have done to ourselves as humans, in the way we live our lives,” she said. “It’s jarring, hearing stories every week about people in their 20s, 30s, 40s getting cancers that, when I was in medical school, we were taught happen in people in their 80s.”Ultra-processed foods cause inflammation in the gut — which includes the colon — that impairs the gut’s ability to repair itself when damaged and keep tumors at bay. High levels of inflammation are also linked to cancer in general, May said. Another hypothesis is that people who eat more ultra-processed foods are more likely to have obesity and Type 2 diabetes, both which are linked to a higher risk for colorectal cancer.“More likely, it’s the direct toxic effects of these ultra-processed foods,” May said.Chan, the study author, said ultra-processed foods are known to alter the gut microbiome, which, in theory, could make cells in the gut more likely to turn cancerous.The next step in the research is determining whether any of these hypotheses appear to have a causal effect on who develops colorectal cancer at a young age. It’s likely part of the puzzle, Chan said.“One thing that has been clear is that the U.S. intake of ultra-processed food has really risen in the past few decades in a way that mirrors the staggering increase in colorectal cancer cases,” he said.Kaitlin SullivanKaitlin Sullivan is a contributor for NBCNews.com who has worked with NBC News Investigations. She reports on health, science and the environment and is a graduate of the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at City University of New York.
