What legal battle are CNN, MSNow, and Politico facing with the Trump administration?
Live from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi Singh. A federal court hearing takes place later this hour over a lawsuit that CNN, MSNow and Politico filed against the Trump administration. After the president banned them, citing their unfavorable coverage of him, the The Department of Justice now says these news outlets pose a security risk. Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky has just addressed the UN General Assembly for the fourth time since his country was invaded by Russia in twenty twenty two. He calls Vladimir Putin's war ridiculous.
I read President Trump's post on Truth Social. The President wrote that Russia has lost control of its diesel oil industry due to its war with Ukraine.
How is President Trump linking Russian diesel production to U.S. gasoline prices?
President Trump is blame Ukraine's attacks on Russia's refineries for the surge in diesel prices in the US. A new poll finds voters continue to have it. Sour view of the president and Republicans in general, as NPR Stephen Fowler reports Though surveys say they'd back демократ for Congress by twelve point margin.
The latest NPR Pibs News maiest poll shows deep dissatisfaction with President Trump and the Republican Party. Republicans have also lost their advantage on several key issues in the eyes of voters, like gas prices, the economy, foreign policy, even immigration. The poll also suggests Democrats have a notable edge in voter enthusiasm and support from independents as a building wave of backlash to the party in power comes into focus. These voters say they're more likely to pick a Democratic congressional candidate, fifty-three to forty-one percent. That swing from Trump's narrow popular vote victory in twenty twenty four shows why reliably red states like Ohio, Texas, and Iowa now have competitive House and Senate races.
What do the latest NPR polls reveal about voter sentiment toward Trump and the Republican Party?
Steven Fowler, NPR News.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping is en route to the US. President Trump will personally greet him at Joint Base Andrews later today. NPR's Emily Fang reports a pageantry the White House is planning for the Chinese president.
The US military will conduct a flyover at the White House shortly before Trump meets the Chinese leader on the tarmac tonight, showing just how important Trump sees this visit. On Thursday, the Marine Band will welcome the Chinese leader with the anthems of both countries and a state visit reception with hundreds of US military personnel and a gun salute, as well as another flyover with fighter planes. In addition to the pomp, the two leaders are expected to talk about trade, the war in Iran, and artificial intelligence. Activists also want Trump to raise the issue of detained Americans and dissidents in China. And then Trump and she will gather for a state dinner, paired back in part due to Trump's East Wing construction project.
What are the key agenda items for President Trump's upcoming meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping?
Emily Fang and Pierre News, the White House.
Forecasters are tracking a Pacific cyclone described as one of the strongest in decades. Hurricane Polo was expected to skirt Mexico's southwestern coast. Meanwhile another storm, Odales, had strengthened from a tropical storm to a hurricane, however, that was far from land. From Washington, it's NPR News. In New York, Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to fifteen years in prison, NPR's Chloe Weiner has details.
Harvey Weinstein was first convicted of sex crimes in New York in twenty twenty and sentenced to twenty three years in prison, but that was thrown out. Prosecutors have since brought him back to court multiple times. Last year Weinstein was found guilty of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley in two thousand six when she was a production assistant.
How are forecasters describing the Pacific cyclone and Hurricane Polo threatening Mexico?
The fifteen year sentence is from that conviction. Weinstein was found not guilty on another charge, and two separate juries in New York have been unable to reach a verdict on a charge of rape. He was, however, convicted of rape in California in twenty twenty two. He was sentenced to sixteen years, but a court ruled earlier this year that he will need to be resentenced. Weinstein is now seventy four years old and has numerous health problems. He's pleaded not guilty to all charges. Chloe Weiner, NPR News, New York.
