How is the Iran‑U.S. conflict affecting global oil prices and the UN agenda?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingley. The war with Iran and its disruption to oil shipments in the Middle East will likely be the major focus today when President Trump addresses the UN General Assembly. President is also expected to meet with Gulf allies in the region during his trip to New York. Next week will mark seven months since the US and Israel began attacking Iran. The fighting has led to sharp spikes in energy prices in the US and around the world amid a US naval blockade of Iranian ports. Price of diesel in the US rose again overnight to a new all time high of nearly six dollars fifty three cents a gallon. President Trump is scheduled to meet with Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meeting.

What are the latest developments in the Ukraine‑Russia war and diplomatic talks?
Президен Трамса Ridiculous and never ending war with Ukraine must be ended. Saying Russia has lost control of its diesel oil industry. Ukrainian president Володимир Зеленський says if Russia stops attacking Ukrainian infrastructure, his country will stop attacking Russian energy. The European Union's top diplomat Kaya Kalis is also putting the onus on Moscow.
The pressure should be on the aggressor to uh stop attacking uh civilians, civilian infrastructure, and I'm sure that Ukrainian uh will respond the same way. And
she says there should be accountability for Russia's aggression. Michelle Kelman, NPR News, New York.
The man who was shot and wounded in Texas by an officer with US immigration and customs enforcement is speaking out. That shooting occurred on Sunday in Austin after a traffic stop.
Why did a Texas immigrant claim he was shot by a ICE officer and what are the legal implications?
Katie McAfee with member station KUT has more.
Twenty-eight-year-old Wilbur Rafael Garces Perez is originally from Venezuela. He told reporters over the phone in Spanish that he spent four hours in the hospital before being released with a bullet still lodged near the back of his neck. A spokesperson for his attorney interpreted the phone call.
When he arrived at the detention center at four a.m. he also complained about the pain and he had to sleep on the floor. Gas Perez's
attorneys say he entered the US legally through a Biden-era parole program the Trump administration canceled. The Department of Homeland Security says Gazas Perez had a final order of removal and that the agency is investigating the shooting. For NPR News, I'm Katie McAfee in Austin.
What happened in the Yosemite helicopter crash while fighting a wildfire?
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash of a helicopter involved in efforts to fight a wildfire in Yosemite National Park in California. Officials say two pilots aboard were killed when the helicopter went down on Sunday. At the time it was dropping water on the fire, their bodies were recovered yesterday. This is NPR News from Washington. Southwest Mexico is expecting heavy rains from Hurricane Polo. The National Hurricane Center in Florida says Polo is a category four storm in the eastern Pacific with top sustained winds up to one hundred fifty miles per hour. It's not expected to make landfall. Mathematicians say they're still trying to understand a solution to one of the field's most challenging problems.
It was published by OpenAI, but critics say the company did a poor job of showing its work, as NPR's Jeff Brumfield explains.
How is Hurricane Polo expected to impact Southwest Mexico and why won’t it make landfall?
OpenAI claims to have solved the Navier Stokes problem, a notoriously tough puzzle having to do with fluid dynamics. In a blog post published earlier this month, the company boasted it had used its immense computing power and cutting edge AI to come up with a solution in a matter of hours. Unfortunately, it's taking weeks for human mathematicians to decipher the AI's answer. Javier Gomez Serrano is with Brown University. He says the problem is that the one hundred sixty six page proof is poorly written.
It's not written for humans, and the paper doesn't explain. What parts are important?
Gomez Serrano does believe the solution is right, but it will take extra human effort to figure out why.
