What happens if talks fall apart?

I'm Stephen Skeap with Leila Fadl, and this is Up First from NPR News.

Nine people go to trial today over a non-fatal shooting outside an ICE detention center in Texas.

Defendants say a protest got out of control while prosecutors label it terrorism.

It's the second time in as many weeks the two sides will be discussing limits on Iran's nuclear program.

The U.S.

is said to want concessions from Iran well beyond nuclear issues, and its ally Israel wants a lot more.

Americans have paired the talks with a threat, positioning military force in the region.

On that date, about a dozen people protested outside the Prairieland Detention Center, which is in Alvarado, Texas.

They objected to President Trump's immigration crackdown and deportation efforts.

Police and prosecutors say shots were fired and a local police officer was injured.

These models create videos, power chatbots, things that American consumers are now familiar with.

But our tech correspondent, John Ruich, finds a special reason to watch them.

John, what is it?

Well, they're from China.

Wow.

And now the Chinese are releasing more AI models.

So does that show that the fear of a year ago was relevant?

Okay, so if the Chinese do not want to buy the most advanced chips from outside anymore, even if they could get them, and if they also aren't ready to make the most advanced chips themselves, how are they able to compete in this global race?

How is China positioned to do that?
