What is President Trump's agenda for the UN General Assembly speech?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. President Trump is in New York today. He'll address world leaders at the UN General Assembly this morning. NPR's Franco Ortonia's reports Trump is expected to speak out against Western allies who have recognized a Palestinian state or plan to do so.
Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says President Trump will deliver a speech touting the administration's accomplishments while criticizing the work of international organizations like the United Nations.
The president will also touch upon how globalist institutions have six significantly decayed the world order, and he will articulate his straightforward and constructive vision for the world.
She says the president will also be meeting together with the leaders of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, as well as have one on one meetings with the leaders of Ukraine and the European Union. The visit comes as the president has become more isolated in the UN where there is a growing push to recognize a Palestinian state. Franco, Ordonas, NPR News, the White House.
President Trump says his administration is going to warn pregnant women against using Tylenol. He says the active ingredient in that medication is responsible for causing autism. Trump says that pregnant women should only take it for pain or fever if they can't tough it out.
Why is President Trump warning pregnant women about Tylenol and what is the medical response?
Doctors, medical researchers, and autism activists are alarmed. They say the science does not back up Trump's statement. Nearly a week after ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel live off the air, the late night show will be back on tonight. But as NPR's Montalate Del Barco reports, not all ABC viewers will be able to watch the broadcast show.
The Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC, says it originally suspended Jimmy Kimmel for what they said were his ill timed and thus insensitive remarks after the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. On his show last week, Kimmel made fun of Trump's reaction to the killing and accused Maga of using it to score political points. Disney says after days of thoughtful conversations with Kimmel, the show would return. Free speech advocates cheered the news, so did fellow late night host Stephen Colbert during his monologue last night. Even so, the Sinclair Broadcasting Group, which operates ABC affiliates in thirty markets, says it will still not carry Jimmy Kimmel live. Mandalit del Barco, NPR News.
A new US-based joint venture is proposing to take control of the video sharing app TikTok under a deal being negotiated with China. The venture would be able to retrain TikTok's content algorithm using US data. The White House says the algorithm was a tough point of negotiation that needed to meet requirements of US and Chinese law. TikTok faced a ban in the US over security concerns. President Trump has repeatedly paused the ban since taking office. This is NPR. NPR has learned top congressional Democrats will meet with President Trump on Thursday. It's an effort to avert a government shutdown next week.
How will the Jimmy Kimmel show return to ABC and why are some affiliates still blocking it?
That will happen unless Congress can pass a spending bill. Democrats say they won't sign on to a federal spending bill unless Republicans rescind huge spending cuts in federal health care programs. Trump has said he'd love to meet the Democratic leaders, but doesn't think it will have any effect. A new study shows rivers and streams in the U.S. are increasingly experiencing heat waves. And Pierre's Nate Rod reports those rising water temperatures are threatening wildlife, water quality, and food production.
We're all familiar with air heat waves, which are increasing in intensity, frequency, and duration as the global climate warms. The new study, published in the journal PNAS, found that it's even worse for rivers, where heat waves are accelerating faster and lasting nearly twice as long as those in the air. Rising river temperatures are dangerous for many aquatic species, particularly for cold blooded fish like salmon and trout. They also raise the cost of treating water for human consumption and can cause toxic algae blooms. The researchers say their findings suggest the trend is likely happening worldwide.
