What coastal impacts should residents expect from the intensifying nor'easter?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman. A powerful nor'easter is intensifying this evening. It's now generating storm force winds and massive waves along the east coast.
If you live near the coast, be prepared to see significant inundation in low-lying areas near the shore, including roads underwater and potentially affecting some homes and businesses. The greatest impacts will occur at high tide.
That's National Weather Services Michael Musilli. He says large breaking waves are generating strong rip currents, beach erosion and property damage along the coast is expected from the Carolinas up to southern New England. OpenAI says it's notified US government agencies that its AI models probed their websites without the company's knowledge. As NPR Shannon Bond reports, it's the latest episode where AI systems have done things their developers didn't expect or ask them to do.
OpenAI's AI models tried to hack an Education Department website but were unsuccessful, according to AI research firm Transloose.
How did OpenAI’s models unintentionally probe U.S. government websites?
The Education Department said it found no evidence of any impact, and OpenAI says it's reviewing the researchers' findings. OpenAI has notified dozens of organizations about times its AI acted in what it calls misaligned ways during training and evaluation. That includes accessing publicly available Census Bureau data using login keys found online, and copying public information from the Securities and Exchange Commission and posting it to another website. The SEC says no non-public information was accessed. The Census Bureau didn't respond to a request for comment. Shannon Bond, NPR News.
Pope Leo is being welcomed like a rock star in France. As NPR Celinder Beardsley reports, observers they say there say the traditionally Catholic yet staunchly secular nation was hungry for his visits.
Fervent crowds screamed Leo's name as they lined the streets of the left bank to get a glimpse of the pontiff in his Pope Mobile. Leo also spoke at UNESCO on Friday, the United Nations education and cultural organization that the U.S.

has just left. He called UNESCO a partner of the church to make the world more just, favoring education of young people in the face of what he called the paradise of machines. At Notre Dame, Leo arrived to organ music and cheers.

in French, he told the crowd of his great joy in being among them in the great cathedral. The Pope ended his first day of this visit with a mass with 70,000 young people in the Paris Sports Stadium. Eleanor Beersley, NPR News, Paris.
The price of Brent crude oil fell below ninety-eight dollars a barrel on Friday. That helped to settle Wall Street with all three major indices rising at the close. The S P five hundred finished the day up by half a percent and pulled within seven tenths of a percent of its all time high, which was set last month. The Dow Jones Industrials closed the day up by nine tenths of a percent, and the NASDAQ ended up five tenths.
What caused Brent crude oil to drop below $98 and how did markets react?
You're listening to NPR News. The Supreme Court Friday blocked Missouri from using a congressional map backed by President Trump. Republicans expected to pick up another House seat under that map. This is the third time the High Court has blocked the redistricting plan. In its opinion, the court warned that switching to the GLP map now would cause electoral chaos. The Justice Department says it's ending oversight of more than fifty school desegregation orders, but as NPR's Nirvi Shaw reports, research shows racial segregation has actually grown.
Desegregation orders became a tool, especially in the South. For enforcing the nineteen fifty four Supreme Court ruling Brown versus the Board of Education, which said racially separate schools are inherently unequal and unconstitutional. The orders established federal oversight of some districts' efforts to integrate students in classrooms and provide access to quality school buildings and extracurricular activities. In announcing plans to drop those orders, Assistant Attorney General Harmit Dillon said, quote, The effort does not reflect the reality of those classrooms today.
