Why are Democrats being urged to address political violence after the ICE facility shooting?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. Vice President J.D. Vance says Democrats need to help stop political violence in the country. Vance also weighed in on a shooting at an ICE facility that took place in Dallas today, which federal officials say killed one detainee and critically injured two others. NPR's Deepa Shivram reports the FBI is investigating.
Vance was critical of the quote very top of the Democratic Party, who he says has been encouraging political violence. And he also spoke about the shooting at the ICE facility in Dallas.
As far as we know, it looks like some of the detainees, in other words, some of the potential illegal aliens, were some of those who were affected. Look. Just because we don't support illegal aliens, we don't want them to be executed by violent assassins engaged in political violence or either
Vance went on to say that the issue of political violence is not a quote both sides problem, and that democrats need to quote look in the mirror. Deepa Shivaram, NPR News, the White House.
Iran's president says his country has never sought and never never will seek to build a nuclear weapon.
What did Iran’s president say at the UN about nuclear weapons and how are European nations responding?
His comments before the UN General Assembly come as some European nations threatened to reimpose sanctions on Iran for its nuclear program. NPR's Jackie Northam reports.
President Massoud Pazeshkian said an edict issued by the country's religious leaders prevents Tehran from seeking a nuclear weapon. Pazeshkian and other senior Iranian officials have been meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly with diplomats from Germany, France, and the UK. The so called E three recently called for the reimposition of nuclear sanctions on Iran for violating the terms of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal. Those sanctions are likely to resume this weekend. Meanwhile, hours before Pazeshkian took the podium, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ale Hameni dismissed any direct talks with the US about a nuclear deal, saying they would be a dead end. Jackie Northam, NPR News.
Media celebrities applauded the return of late night host Jimmy Kimmel to the airwaves last night. ABC had polled his show following remarks he made about the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, and PR's Neta Ulibe reports.
On the late show, host Stephen Colbert acknowledged the return of his friend and rival.
I'm glad Kimball's back.
How did Jimmy Kimmel’s return to late‑night TV spark reactions from other comedians and the public?
He is a wonderful fella. To know him well is to admire him immensely, even if he takes the whole summer off.
Even before Kimmel went back on the air, the immensely popular podcaster Joe Rogan weighed in. He said he did not believe a government should be involved in dictating what comedians say. On Wednesday morning, more than ten million people had already watched Kimmel's monologue on YouTube, millions more than the number who regularly tune in. Neto Ulibi, NPR News.
US stocks continued to drift lower from the all time highs they said at the beginning of the week. The SP five hundred fell point three percent today, the second day of modest losses. From Washington, this is NPR News. Electric utility XL Energy says it expects to pay about six hundred and forty million dollars to settle lawsuits, alleging it was responsible for starting Colorado's most destructive wildfire in 2021. The blaze between Denver and Boulder killed two people and destroyed nearly a thousand homes. Investigators found that a sparking power line owned by XL was one of the causes of the fire.
What steps are Forest Service employees taking to improve fire‑danger communication in Idaho?
A slew of firings and other departures in the U.S. forest. Forest Service have left staffing holes throughout the Northwest, but agency leaders in North Idaho are still finding ways to get fire information out to the public. From Northwest Public Broadcasting, Lauren Patterson reports.
Forest Service employees who are normally in the office jumped in to help get the word out about dangerous fires this summer. We recruited lots of Forest Service employees into the fire information function, trying to train folks that have the interest into public information officer roles. That's Jim Weimer, fire prevention officer for the Nespers Clearwater National Forests.
