What did President Trump say about the US‑Iran conflict at the UN?
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. President Trump paints his administration as a global problem solver ready to confront threats and lead through strength. NPR's Franco Ordonia's reports on what stood out during President Trump's address to the UN General Assembly as he defended the US war with Iran today.
With Iranian officials actually in the room, Trump said he had a big decision to make, and he said he had to make a deal and let them rebuild, or he said, quote, Do I annihilate the Islamic Republic? He went on to say, or do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival? What he did not say though was how he plans to resolve the enduring conflict.
NPR is Franco Ordonez. The soaring fuel prices resulting from the war are top of mind among voters six weeks before the midterms. That's prompting a number of Republican candidates in close races to call for emergency actions to bring down gasoline and diesel costs.
How are soaring fuel prices influencing Republican midterm strategies?
Yesterday Republican Representative Ashley Henson of Iowa said the constituents quote Shouldn't have to foot the bill at the pump or the checkout line for the war in Iran. Well, power is shifting and the world needs a strong United Nations. Those were some of the messages delivered by the UN Secretary General. In his final address to the General Assembly. And Pierce Michel Kellyman reports he's calling for more cooperation to regulate AI and combat climate change.
Antonio Guterres's term ends this year, and he's clearly worried about the fractures in global politics and the inability of the United Nations to resolve many of today's conflicts. He says there's been a quote extraordinary transfer of power away from governments to a handful of private corporations and individuals.

Young Americans without college degrees are seeing one of the strongest job markets in decades. NPR's Windsor Johnson reports unemployment among workers aged twenty two to thirty-four who don't have a degree is near a twenty year low.
The Burning Glass Institute says the job market looks much different for recent college graduates who are having a harder time finding work. Georgetown University economist Harry Holzer says one reason is the strength of the construction industry.
I do think the construction sector is strong right now. You know, all these data centers being built uh is creating a lot of jobs for skilled construction workers.
Holzer says more baby boomers are retiring from the skilled trades just as immigration slows.
Why are young Americans without college degrees experiencing a strong job market?

listening to NPR. The South Carolina coroner's determined actor Hayden Panetier died. From an accidental overdose involving several drugs including fentanyl. The Grammy and Golden Globe nominated actor died last month at the age of thirty six. DoorDash says, quote, We screwed up. The food delivery company issued a statement admitting to mistakes when it came to paying its New York City employees. Mayor Zaramam Dani announced DoorDash had agreed to pay one hundred thirty one point five million dollars to settle claims. City Hall says most of the settlement will be returned to more than two hundred sixty thousand workers who were underpaid, not paid, or paid late for deliveries.
What led DoorDash to agree to a $131.5 million settlement for underpaid workers?
Researchers have discovered a new species they're calling the fire amoeba, and Pierre Zari Daniel reports it can grow and replicate at temperatures never seen for complex organisms.
