Why did the State Department approve visas for top Iranian officials to attend the UN General Assembly?
High-level meetings planned. I'm Lisa Lucera, Fox News. The State Department has okayed visas for top Iranian officials, including the president and foreign minister, to travel to New York next week for the U.N. General Assembly. As reports indicate, President Trump will meet with Gulf leaders on the sidelines of the U.N. meeting
to discuss the Iran conflict. This comes as the president said Wednesday he hopes the war will end soon, adding that Iran wants to make a deal. With a focus on Iran, the country's proxy forces in Yemen, the Houthis are continuing to ramp up the conflict against government forces and Saudi Arabia. A key Red Sea port came under missile and drone attack on Wednesday, with the holy city of Mecca also dealing with an incoming drone event.
How are the escalating Iran‑related conflicts in Yemen and the Red Sea affecting U.S. diplomatic talks?
as well this week.
Fox's Trey Engst in Tel Aviv. Yesterday, the State Department says it was denying visas to Palestinian Authority and PLO officials to attend the UN General Assembly. The White House pushing back after the UN Human Rights Council says they found reasonable grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes in two strikes in Iran. White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly wrote, the U.N. Human Rights Council has accomplished nothing for human rights while spouting unserious nonsense for decades, adding the only party in this conflict that has committed war crimes is the Iranian regime. The driver who slammed her SUV into a city bus in Los Angeles, killing two people, will face murder charges. Los Angeles DA Nathan Hockman says Bailey Lynn Ross was speeding and impaired when she drove her Ford Expedition the wrong way down a busy street running a red light and hanging in another vehicle before slamming into the bus.
She had narcotics in the car at that time.
What is the White House’s response to the UN Human Rights Council’s war‑crimes allegations against the United States?
She was driving well beyond
the speed limit. A second deadly incident happened after that crash when a news chopper covering it crashed, killing both people on board and a third person on the ground. America's listening to Fox News. One Republican senator has blocked another's effort to pass legislation
creating a so-called AI kill switch. Louisiana Senator John Kennedy attempted to get legislation through quickly that would require AI companies to build kill switches in their AI models, saying they need to address the real risk of one of these models becoming the Terminator. But Kentucky Senator Rand Paul blocked the effort, saying on the Senate floor, Congress risks killing innovation.
Think, for example, that your search engine that you already use today is AI. Are they going to have to redesign all the search engines immediately if this passes and put kill switches in your search engine?
He said he doesn't oppose the spirit of the bill, but that this issue needs to be studied and debated before issuing such a blanket and sweeping requirement.
Why is the Senate debating an AI “kill‑switch” bill and what are the arguments for and against it?
Jessica Rosenthal, Fox News.
A family of a 37-year-old pregnant San Antonio woman who died of preeclampsia has filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General and Senate candidate Ken Paxton and others, claiming the state's abortion ban led to her death. Tiara Walker died when she was 20 weeks pregnant. The Attorney General's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Associated Press. Federal regulators temporarily relaxing some regulations to allow tokenized trading of
stocks and other securities. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission says for five years companies can offer trading in blockchain-based or tokenized investments. The exemption is expected to allow 24-hour trading of shares and other securities. It's called the innovation exemption and would be for rules that generally apply to the NASDAQ, NYSE, and other exchanges.
How will the SEC’s new “innovation exemption” for tokenized securities change trading for platforms like Coinbase and Robinhood?
Platforms must notify companies, and they'll be barred from offering the investment if the company objects. Coinbase and other crypto exchanges plan to launch tokenized stocks in the U.S. Robinhood, Kraken, and other exchanges already offer them in other countries. Fox News. This is Ginny Kosola.
