What are the implications of a government shutdown as fiscal year ends?
Support for NPR and the following message come from the estate of Joan B. Kroc, whose bequest serves as an enduring investment in the future of public radio and seeks to help NPR produce programming that meets the highest standards of public service in journalism and cultural expression.
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. The government's fiscal year ends Tuesday and Congress has not passed the bills necessary to pay for government programs. In recent years, lawmakers would agree to pass a continuing resolution. That would continue spending at last year's levels for a short time to prevent a government shutdown and to allow for more negotiation. That's what President Trump wants. This year, congressional Democrats won't agree to that unless there's an agreement to extend the health care subsidies due to expire this year. NPR's Ron Elving has more.
How do Americans perceive crime and law enforcement measures?
Both sides at least seem to have decided to have the shutdown. Trump, because he thinks it will empower him to do as he wishes and strengthen his standing with voters. Democrats seem resigned to a shutdown because anything more cooperative would make them look weak, or worse yet, make them look like enablers for Trump. So they've chosen to take a stand over health care spending.
NPR's Ron Elving. Americans are concerned about crime but don't broadly support President Trump's deployment of the National Guard to police U.S.
What recent actions has Iran taken regarding international sanctions?
cities. NPR's Debbie Elliott reports on the findings of a new NPR-Ipsos law enforcement poll.
The poll shows that 7 in 10 Americans say the level of crime and violence in American cities is at an unacceptable level. Crime is down significantly from pandemic-era highs, but Ipsos Vice President Mallory Newell says public perception is still that crime rates are up.
While the American public largely agrees that crime has increased in the U.S. and in major cities,

They don't broadly support the actions taken in the name of stopping crime, like calling in the National Guard.
But Newell says there's a significant partisan divide, with about 8 in 10 Republicans supporting Trump's crime-fighting tactics and almost the same number of Democrats opposing. Debbie Elliott, NPR News.
Iran has recalled its ambassadors to Britain, France, and Germany over their moves to reinstate international sanctions over the regime's nuclear pursuits. Terry Schultz reports the sanctions are due to take effect this weekend.
The Iranian regime called the decision to restore U.N. Security Council sanctions against Tehran irresponsible. A month ago, Britain, France and Germany warned Iran snapback sanctions would apply if Tehran did not take steps to halt its nuclear program, including the resumption of cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, part of the 2015 deal under which Iran agreed to curtail its advancement. President Trump pulled the U.S. out of that agreement in 2018.
What unique community event is taking place in Asheville, North Carolina?
China and Russia proposed an extension of the moratorium, but it failed to get support. The sanctions include an embargo on conventional weapons, a global asset freeze and travel bans on Iranian officials. For NPR News, I'm Terry Schultz.
This is NPR News in Washington. The Defense Ministry in Denmark says drones were spotted over several defense facilities overnight. There have been several drone sightings earlier this week, with some of them temporarily closing airports. Russia is suspected of being behind the flyovers. Exactly a year after Hurricane Helene hit western North Carolina with lethal floods and landslides, The city of Asheville has its own way to seek healing. Blue Ridge Public Radio's Laura Hackett reports.
Librarian Erin Parcels is standing on a bridge with a red megaphone overlooking the same river that leveled Asheville's River Arts District a year ago. She's there to lead a primal scream on behalf of the local library. The scream was a meaningful way to mark all that Asheville has been through, says first-time screamer Francie Gens.
I think we need to get it out and we need to feel it and we need to be together and know that we're all feeling this and let it resound and be heard.
