What a Pearly King taught me about Cockney rhyming slang and East London history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LONDON — He was one of my most memorable interviews. Even though we were both speaking English, I could barely understand a word he was saying. "The costermongers, wheeze used to fly-pitch, on this frog and toad," he said — at least I think, after listening to my tape several times again, none the wiser. Our interview was back in 2016, on one of my first NPR reporting trips to London. George Major, then 78, was a local celebrity. We walked together through the East End, where the factories and d
5 men arrested on terror charges near U.K. air base released on bail (opens the original)
Read excerpt
President Trump is questioning why five men, British officials initially described as terror suspects, have now been released on bail. Today, counterterrorism officials are still investigating the masked men who were arrested in the middle of the night with suspicious vehicles near a British airbase used by U.S. bombers striking Iran. But they're also looking at less serious crimes. INSKEEP: What's going on here? NPR's Lauren Frayer is in London. Hi there, Lauren. INSKEEP: OK. So British officia

At first, British police said they'd foiled a suspected terror plot. They arrested five masked men near a military base that the U.S. uses to launch attacks on Iran.

Read excerpt
British authorities say they foiled a suspected terror plot near an airbase in western England. It's one of the bases the U.S. military has been using to launch attacks on Iran. That's prompted speculation about a possible connection to the conflict in the Middle East. For the latest, let's go to NPR's Lauren Frayer in London. Hi, Lauren. ELLIOTT: What do we know about what British police are saying about this plot they foiled? FRAYER: So it appears to have involved three vehicles. Police say th
What painter Sliman Mansour told NPR about Palestinian rights and art before he died (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour was born the year before Israel's creation and spent his life painting the faces and landscapes of Israeli occupation. His art was political, and it attracted fresh audiences on social media during the Gaza War. Mansour died last week at age 79. NPR's Lauren Frayer was the last reporter to visit him. LAUREN FRAYER, BYLINE: I visited Sliman Mansour and his very vocal cat at their East Jerusalem home last winter. His sons were bustling around. A grandchild's artwo
