Live from MPR News in Washington, I'm Shay Stevens. President Trump says the US will sell weapons to NATO, including Patriot Missile Systems. Or Ukraine's defense.
How is Russia responding to the conflict with reports of destroyed Ukrainian drones?
З НПР Стамара Кит репорте Трамп Руса дон речь сей агремен від Україн.
Президен Трамп кампайне одинити, бодрей від Русін президен Владимир Путін.
А вмір сомач ток толток. So I'll talk and then missiles go into Kiev.
What are the Supreme Court’s latest rulings on the Trump administration’s plan to dismantle the Department of Education?
Trump said if the war doesn't end in 50 days, he will impose stiff economic penalties on Russia. As for the Patriot weapons, Trump praised the arrangement with NATO.
We are not buying it, but we will manufacture it and they're going to be paying for it.
Trump delivered these remarks during a friendly Oval Office meeting with NATO's Secretary General. Tamar Keith, NPR News.
What happened in the deadly fire at the Gabriel House assisted‑living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts?
Meanwhile, Russia says it's destroyed fifty five Ukrainian drones overnight. Governors in Russia's regional southwest say the attacks resulted in several injuries. And damage to non residential buildings. The US Supreme Court says the Trump administration may continue dismantling the Department of Education and laying off almost fourteen hundred of the agency's staffers. As NPR's Corey Tunner reports, the ruling stays a lower court injunction that had blocked those cuts.
So it all goes back to President Trump's executive order earlier this year, where he instructed Education Secretary Lyndon McMahon to dismantle the U.S.
How are recent flash floods affecting New Jersey and Texas, and what emergency actions have been taken?
Department of Education. The department offered buyouts and early retirement. And then in March, McMahon ordered a massive reduction in force, laying off roughly 1,400 employees. You do the math, all these moves together cut the department. Essentially in half. And it is in response to these dramatic cuts that two different lawsuits were filed. They were eventually merged together. They tried to stop the Trump administration by arguing essentially that Congress created the Department. Only Congress can dismantle
it. NPR's Corey Turner. A deadly fire at an assisted living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts claimed nine lives and sent more than two dozen people to the hospital Sunday. GBH's Craig Lamont has the latest.
What is the current status of U.S. and Asian‑Pacific markets after hours trading?
Lorraine Ferrara was one of dozens of residents rescued from the Gabriel House assisted living facility.
I'm grateful to God that I'm alive. I'm grateful for all these other people that are alive too. And I can only pray for the ones that are dead.
Governor Mora Healy said it was a challenging evacuation. You know, these are people who were not able to move themselves and therefore the work the fire police and EMS did to get people out was truly amazing. Several firefighters and union leaders said at a press conference the city failed to adequately staff its fire department. And
This is NPR. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has declared a state of emergency In wake of flash flooding, public transportation in the north central city of Scotch Plains was brought to a standstill, while New York City subway service was suspended for the Or delayed. Meanwhile, the surge continues where 101 people were still missing from the flooding disasters that claimed at least 132 lives in central Texas. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo says he's still running for mayor of New York City, but as an independent. NPRC Riventry reports that the announcement came less than three weeks after Cuomo lost the city's democratic primary. Andrew
Cuomo has relaunched his run for mayor as an independent, which means a crowded ballot in November. Cuomo will be up against current mayor Eric Adams, who is also running as an independent, as well as Republican Curtis Sleewa, founder of The Guardian Angels, and New York State Assembly member Zoran Mamdani, who defeated Cuomo in the Democratic primary in June. When Cuomo conceded, he said that Mamdani had put together a great campaign and inspired young people. In a video announcing his run as an independent, Cuomo said Mamdani offered quote, slick slogans, but no real solutions.
