Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. Top Senate Republicans say they're circulating a deal to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security and end the more than month-long shutdown. But President Trump and Senate Democrats are indicating they do not support the offer. NPR's Sam Greenglass reports.
Chapter 2: What deal are Senate Republicans proposing to end the DHS shutdown?
The negotiations have felt like whiplash. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said his colleagues had sold President Trump on a plan to fund DHS, except for the ICE unit responsible for removal operations. That could be done later in a party-line reconciliation bill, along with parts of the voting law overhaul Trump wants. Maybe you can just say that my colleagues were more persuasive than I was.
A few minutes later, Trump threw cold water on that. I think any deal they make I'm pretty much not happy with it. And Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declined to say his caucus would back the deal as is. As I said, we need reforms. Senate Democrats in the White House are continuing to exchange offers. Sam Greenglass, NPR News, Washington.
The National Transportation Safety Board says the vehicle involved in a collision with a plane landing at LaGuardia Airport did not have equipment to show its location. Two pilots were killed in the crash and dozens injured, NPR's Stephen Kastenbaum reports.
Investigators zeroed in on what the people in LaGuardia's control tower could see on their screens before the crash.
ASDX is a runway safety system which allows air traffic controllers to track surface movement of aircraft and vehicles.
But NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said the controllers couldn't see information about the fire truck's exact location.
So in this case, that vehicle did not have a transponder.
It's not clear whether different controllers were talking to the pilot and the driver of the fire truck Sunday night.
There were two people in the cab, two people in the tower cab.
