What new developments are happening at the UN General Assembly on climate and Ukraine?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. Speeches and meetings continued today at the UN General Assembly in New York. The UN Secretary General will convene a high level summit about climate change. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address UN delegates. The Kremlin is rejecting suggestions by President Trump that Ukraine could win back all its territory seized by Russia as long as the West offers sustained military support. Trump's online comment yesterday appears to be a stark shift in his policy from Moscow NPR's Charles Mainz reports.
Until now, Trump had insisted a peace deal hinged on Ukraine's acceptance of territorial concessions to its more powerful neighbor. Yet in recent remarks, Trump suggested Ukraine could win the war outright, pointing to the poor state of Russia's economy and a military campaign in disarray. Trump said all Ukraine needed was sustained military support from NATO using weapons sold by the US.
How did former President Trump’s comments change the narrative on Ukraine’s war effort?
In response, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov Suggested Trump was deeply misinformed and Russia had no alternative but to press ahead with the war. Meanwhile, prominent Russian nationalists suggested Trump's shift was a bid to distance himself from the Ukraine issue, following months of failed peace efforts with the Kremlin. Charles Maynes, MPR News, Moscow.
Late night host Jimmy Kimmel was back on TV last night. ABC had suspended his show over comments he'd made after the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. And Pierre's Mandalite Del Barco has more.
During his monologue, Kimmel thanked supporters around the world, even those he doesn't often agree with, for rallying to defend his free speech rights. Kimmel also explained the comments that got him suspended.
Why was Jimmy Kimmel suspended and how did he defend his free‑speech rights?
You understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.
Kimmel praised Erica Kirk for saying she forgives her husband Charlie's alleged murderer. President Trump on social media threatened ABC for allowing Kimmel to return, but on his show the comedian continued to mock Trump.
He tried his best to cancel me. Instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired Bigley.
Himmel said he worries about other late-night hosts who have been canceled or could be soon. Manda Lita del Barco, NPR News, Los Angeles.
Jurors in Florida have convicted Ryan Ruth of trying to assassinate Donald Trump last year at his golf course in Southern Florida.
What were the key details of Ryan Ruth’s attempted assassination trial and verdict?
N.P.R.'s Greg Allen reports, Ruth represented himself in court but was convicted on all counts.
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.
Pierre's Greg Allen reporting. This is MPR. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has dissolved a Pentagon committee that provided recommendations and advice for women in the US military. The department spokeswoman says the committee focused on a divisive feminist agenda that hurts combat readiness. The agency committee was created in nineteen fifty one.
Why did the Pentagon dissolve the women‑in‑the‑military advisory committee?
The Military Times newspaper says the committee has recently focused on military women's well being, including sexual assault prevention. Pediatricians and other health experts across the US are responding to President Trump's warning linking the use of Tylenol to autism. NPR's Alison Aubrey has more.
There is no evidence that taking Tylenol while pregnant causes autism in children, which the FDA has acknowledged. Doctor Nicole Baldwin is a pediatrician who says Tylenol has been shown to be safe and left untreated. High fevers can cause complications for the mother and the fetus.
We don't want parents to just tough it out, you know, we want moms to be treated.
Some studies have pointed to a link between autism and Tylenol, but these correlations could be a fluke or coincidence.
