What was the verdict in Ryan Ruth’s trial for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump?
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Sang. A federal jury in Florida finds Ryan Ruth guilty of plotting to assassinate Donald Trump. The attempt to shoot Trump at one of his golf courses was a second attack on Trump last year during his presidential campaign. And PR's Greg Allen is at the courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida, with more on today's verdict.
The jury deliberated just two hours before returning their verdict. Ruth, they said, is guilty of attempted assassination and four other counts, including assaulting a federal officer, the Secret Service agent who spotted and fired on him at his hiding place at Trump's golf course. Upon hearing the verdict, Ruth tried to stab himself with a pen before federal marshals quickly subdued him.
NPR's Greg Allen reporting, President Trump denounced the violence against him and congratulated the Justice Department on Ruth's prosecution.
How did President Trump respond to the verdict while speaking at the UN General Assembly?
Trump commented on the verdict to reporters traveling with him at the UN General Assembly earlier today. He delivered a lengthy speech to world leaders gathered in New York for the eightieth session of the UN General Assembly and railed against the international body.
President Trump touted that the US has entered a golden age while scolding the body for rampant waste and corruption. He used a faulty teleprompter and broken escalator as a metaphor for larger problems of the United Nations.
It has such tremendous, tremendous potential. Ба і царін камин клос то ли потенціал.
Підзмос понятний критичний.
Ніч з фунданья вестин кандрії.
Why is Jimmy Kimmel’s show being pulled from many ABC stations?
And their borders.
Trump accused the UN of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to support illegal migration into the U.S., including providing shelter and transportation, and he blamed political correctness on the issue for what he said was ruining their countries. Franco Ordonia's NPR News.
Jimmy Kimmel live will be back on the air tonight, but not everywhere. ABC put the show on hold last week over remarks that Kimmel made on air. After the killing of Charlie Kirk, and as Steve Futterman reports, many ABC stations will be keeping it off the air for now.
More than 60 ABC affiliates, over 20% of ABC stations will not be broadcasting Jimmy Kimmel's show when it returns. Stations that are owned by two large broadcast groups, Nexstar and Sinclair, will substitute other programming.
What does the WHO report say about the global impact of uncontrolled high blood pressure?
It was complaints from those two groups last week that helped lead to Kimmel's show being suspended. Here on Hollywood Boulevard, where the show is taped, Kimmel fans people like samurai Barnett are happy he's back.
It shows you what we can all do when we all unify on one accord immediately. Like this this happened w in less than a week.
Sources with the program say they expect Kimmel to make a conciliatory statement on tonight's show. For MPR News, I'm Steve Futterman in Los Angeles.

Robot umpires are coming to Major League Baseball, at least in a limited way. NPR's Giles Snyder reports a league approved their use for next season today.
MLB's automated ball strike system is not meant as a replacement for human umpires. They'll still be at the plate to call balls and strikes. The robot system will come into play when a challenge is made.
