What happened in the Austin ICE officer shooting and why is an independent investigation demanded?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman. A man in Austin, Texas was injured in a shooting by an ICE officer over the weekend, as Matt Largy from Member Station KUT reports, local officials are demanding an input independent investigation.
The shooting happened around one PM on Sunday. Twenty eight year old Wilbert Raphael Garces Perez was shot in the back, according to witnesses at the scene. City officials said he was taken to the hospital in stable condition. ICE has not responded to requests for information about the circumstances of the shooting. Austin Mayor Kirk Watson says he wants Austin police to be involved in investigating exactly what happened.
Frankly, from my perspective, uh the credibility of ICE uh doing some form of investigation just by itself and excluding others uh would not be appropriate.
Austin Congressman Greg Cassar is also demanding the Department of Homeland Security and ICE brief Congress on the details of the shooting later this month. For NPR News, I'm Matt Largy in Austin.
How is the White House responding to calls for a pause on AI development after the Anthropic CEO’s warning?
A week after anthropic CEO Dario Amade published an article calling for a slowdown in the development of artificial intelligence, the White House is defending President Trump's approach, which is hands off AI companies. Michael Kratziosis is director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy at the White House. He spoke Sunday on Fox News.
It's very interesting that they talk about these issues, about how scared they are about potentially where the future is, and maybe they want to do a pause. Um, our position is if you do believe that you're developing a technology that is unsafe or you don't want it out into the world, you can just stop it. You don't need someone to force you to do that. And I think that's what's been a bit confusing about this whole narrative.
But those urging a slow approach say if things do get bad enough to need to stop a runaway AI, it may be too late to do so. At least three people have been killed after Ukraine launched what Russian authorities say was the largest drone attack yet on the Russian capital of Moscow, NPR's Charles Maines report.
The casualties came after drones struck a Moscow apartment building.
What are the details and impact of the large Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow and its targets?
An oil refinery was also attacked, despite claims by President Trump that both Russia and Ukraine had agreed to halt strikes on energy infrastructure.
Early return showed President Putin's ruling united Russia bloc dominating the field, what the Kremlin is expected to claim as a mandate for continuing the war, yet anti war candidates were stripped from the ballot ahead of the vote, leaving pro war factions the only choice for voters. Charles Maynes, MPR News.
German Chancellor Friedrich Meritz and his ruling Christian Democratic Union Party faced a major electoral setback Sunday. Elections in a northern German state gave his party about five percent of the vote. It's the lowest showing since World War two, and the Anti Immigration Alternative for Germany Party made significant gains. You're listening to NPR News. The eighteen suspects arrested in the july twenty twenty one killing of Haitian President Javanel Mois are being extradited to the U.S. The suspects have not been identified, but they will face trial in Florida. Authorities say at least some of the suspects had been planning for a coup, not an assassination.
Why did German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s party suffer a historic loss and what’s happening with the Haitian suspects?
At least eighteen other suspects are still being held in Haiti, including seventeen Colombian soldiers and a former Haiti Ministry of Justice employee. A Spanish film has won the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, and Pierre's Bob Mondello has a details.
La bola negra tells three interconnected stories about gay men across nearly a century of Spanish history. This win in Toronto makes La Bola Negra a presumed contender in the Oscar race for Best Picture, as people's choice winners are almost always nominated in that category. Quite a few have won, including Twelve Years a Slave, Slum Dog Millionaire, Green Book, and Chariots of Fire. Intriguingly, the festival's international award went to Elsinore, a story about one of the actors who starred in Chariots of Fire.
