What is President Trump’s agenda at the UN General Assembly opening?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. The UN General Assembly opens its latest session this morning in New York. NPR's Franco Ortonios reports President Trump will be one of the first speakers.
Based on conversations with the White House, Trump today is expected to paint himself as a problem solver, highlighting peace deals that he's announced around the world. I expect he'll tout his new deal with Denmark over security of Greenland. He actually has a signing event immediately after the speech.
Iranian president.
and Pierce Franco Ordonia's reporting. Meanwhile, US officials are warning that starting tomorrow all Iranian airlines will be grounded.
How are new U.S. sanctions targeting Iranian airlines and the Strait of Hormuz?
Last month, the US issued a package of sanctions to tighten the economic blockade on Iran and try to force it to open the Strait of Hormuz. And PR's Hadil Al Shelty has more.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson told CMBC that the US plans to quote shut down all Iranian commercial flights by forcing countries to cut off fuel, deny airline landing services, and not sell their tickets. He warned international airports and third party service providers that assisting any Iranian carriers would result in their exclusion from the US banking system. The new measures are part of the Trump administration's operation economic outcast, which include a secondary set of US sanctions on aviation services that deal with Iran. Major Iranian carrier Mahan Airlines said it suspended its flights to Turkey and Oman last week.
Why are Republican Senate candidates calling for an end to the war with Iran?
Hadil al-Shalci, NPR News, Istanbul.
Two Republican Senate candidates are calling for an end to the war with Iran. Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers and Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson say Americans are shouldering high costs because of the war. Both Rogers and Hinson are in close races with democratic opponents. Republicans have gotten a boost in a court battle over redistricting in Missouri. It could determine who controls the U.S. House after the midterms. A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of a Missouri voting map that would boost chances for Republican candidates, but it appears Larry Kaplow reports the map is still on hold.
What impact could the Missouri redistricting court ruling have on control of the U.S. House?
Even though some absentee ballots have already been mailed using the same districts as in 2024, an appeals court ruled that the map passed by Republicans last year should be used. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth District said that's because that was the map that was used in the primaries. But the Missouri State Supreme Court recently ruled the new GOP map has to be approved by voters before it can be used. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to intervene in that decision. For now, the appeals court says the order for the new map should not be enforced for up to a week. With the US Supreme Court expected to weigh in again.
This is MPR. A jury in Vermont has convicted a man of attempted murder in the shootings of three Palestinian college students.
What were the details and outcome of the Vermont trial for the shooting of Palestinian students?
They were walking near his home nearly three years ago. The jury rejected Jason Eaton's insanity defense. He'd claimed he was following orders from the CIA and the Massad. One of the students was paralyzed in the shooting. Young Americans without college degrees are seeing one of the strongest job markets in decades. NPR's Windsor Johnston reports unemployment among workers aged twenty-two to thirty-four who do not have a degree is near
a twenty year low.
Why are young Americans without degrees experiencing a strong job market while graduates struggle?
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. And with some immigrants reluctant to seek work, more jobs are opening up for other workers. Windsor Johnston and PR News. The National
Hurricane Center says Hurricane Polo is getting stronger in the Pacific Ocean.
