What’s happening with the US‑Saudi military visit and its impact on oil markets?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Korva Coleman. Saudi Arabia says US Centcom Commander Brad Cooper visited the kingdom today and met Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. This comes as benchmark crude oil prices climbed past one hundred eight dollars a barrel. And Pierre's A Batrawi reports the Saudis also shut down a key oil pipeline after militants based in Iraq attacked it with drones.
Saudi Arabia says the drone strikes on its oil pipeline last week came from Iraq, where Iranian back militias are denying involvement. The kingdom says the attack forced a suspension of oil through its pipeline. New satellite images examined by NPR show a pumping station along the pipeline charred and badly damaged after the attacks. The attacks coincided with renewed fighting in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia and Iran backed Houthi rebels are trading cross border fire. The Houthis have also been attacking Saudi oil tankers to block them from transiting through the Beb al Mendab Strait in the Red Sea.
How did the drone attacks on Saudi oil pipelines affect regional energy supplies?
Gulf oil tankers are similarly unable to transit freely through the Strait of Hammuz as a result of Iranian attacks. Ayy Batrawi, Emperor

The Washington Post is reporting that the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts could close as soon as tomorrow in Washington DC.
What were the details of the Russian drone strike on a Ukrainian passenger train?
The newspaper has internal reports suggesting the center is run out of money. Post reporter Jonathan Edwards says there's also disagreement about how to do repair work at the Kennedy Center.
No one would disagree that renovations are necessary um and have been for some time. It's that's just the degree to which they're needed and what the best possible solution is. Um, you know, the Trump folks would say, hey, we need to close everything and we need to close it now. Uh on the other side, you know, folks would say, hey, we can do this in a phased approach, keep the center open and keep programming going while we do it.
He spoke to NPR's morning edition. This is NPR.
Why is the Kennedy Center facing possible closure and what are the renovation debates?
China's top intelligence officials are warning that artificial intelligence could pose a threat to the communist party rule of that country. The leader of China's Ministry of State Security is calling for more party control over AI. This follows weekend warnings by AI industry leaders in the West. They are calling for a slowing of some AI research due to potential threats to humanity. President Trump downplayed the AI leaders' calls. He says the US needs to keep its AI dominance over China. Germany's Alexander Zevera is the winner of the men's singles title at this year's US Open Tennis Tournament in New York. He beat American Ben Shelton in four sets to capture his second Grand Slam title this year.
And Beer's Becky Sullivan has more.
How are Chinese intelligence officials warning about AI’s threat to party rule?
Even before the first serve of Sunday's match, Shelton's appearance in the final was a bit of history. He is mixed race, his father Bryan is black. Making Shelton the first black man to play in the US Open men's singles final since Arthur Ash more than half a century ago. It was also Shelton's first career Grand Slam final. And of course, no American Man has won a Grand Slam singles title since two thousand three. But the twenty three year old couldn't overpower the six foot six Germans Farev. The big two of men's tennis these days, Yannick Center and Carlos Alcarez, have both had injuries this year, leaving the door unusually wide open for others, and Zaverev has taken advantage. He won the French Open earlier this summer and with Sunday's win now has a second career slam to his name.
