Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Shea Stephens. Members of the U.S. Senate returned to Capitol Hill last night after President Trump announced that Israel and Hamas had accepted the first phase of a Gaza peace plan. Under the U.S. deal, the two sides will pause their fighting, and Hamas will release all remaining hostages. Israeli forces will pull back to an agreed-upon boundary line. Here's a reaction from Pennsylvania Democrat John Futterman, who's an outspoken advocate for Israel.
For all of us that are horrified of the condition of Gaza, but I blame Iran and Hamas for these things. They could have done so much different. They could have just surrendered and disarmed Israel. two years ago, but now here we are.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he'll hold a cabinet meeting today to approve the deal. More than one week into the government shutdown, there's no progress on Capitol Hill. The U.S. Senate again failed to pass dueling short-term measures. that would reopen the government. More from NPR's Sam Greenglass.
In the last week, the Senate has voted six times on the same pair of bills, one authored by Democrats, the other by Republicans. Neither has gotten the 60 votes needed to pass.
What recent developments occurred in the Gaza peace plan?
And while a few senators are having informal talks about a path forward, there's no indication that the leadership on either side is willing to budge. Republican Lisa Murkowski of Alaska was among a bipartisan group of senators who shared a meal Tuesday night.
If you don't have communication, nothing changes, right?
Republicans want to pass a short-term spending bill to reopen the government. Democrats won't support that without a deal to extend expiring health insurance subsidies. The votes are expected to continue. Sam Greenglass, NPR News.
Japanese automaker Honda is relying more on Canada instead of the United States to make cars for exporting. As Stephen Basaha of the Gulf States Newsroom reports, it is part of Honda's strategy to avoid U.S. tariffs.
Honda is still building cars in the U.S., but those factories are now focusing on making vehicles for Americans rather than for exports. Lamar Whitaker is the head of Honda's Alabama plant. He said that's allowing the car company to still meet demands.
Without passing on the cost of tariffs to our customers.
David Fernandez runs the Mazda Toyota plant in Alabama and said several of their models are setting sales records. But the industry is still dealing with uncertainty. Supply chain for at least our products is pretty stable right now. But it's just the lack of visibility to know what's going to happen in the future. Meaning they don't know if President Donald Trump will make sudden changes in trade policy like he's done before. For NPR News, I'm Stephen Passaha in Huntsville, Alabama.
U.S. futures are flat in after-hours trading on Wall Street. On Asia-Pacific markets, shares are mixed down a fraction in Hong Kong. This is NPR. Authorities in Southern California have made an arrest in connection with the Palisades fire last January. 29-year-old Jonathan Rindernecht is accused of setting a small blaze that smoldered underground for days and then reignited. Rindernecht was arrested Tuesday in Florida and made his first court appearance Wednesday in Orlando. A hearing is set for October 17th. A new study finds that a growing number of people with psychotic illnesses are using marijuana since the legalization of cannabis. That story from NPR's Ritu Chatterjee.
Dr. Andy Hyatt is a psychiatrist at the Cambridge Health Alliance near Boston. Me and many of my colleagues have been seeing over the past several years just a marked rise in the rates of cannabis use among people with serious mental illness. Most of his patients have schizophrenia, which can cause psychosis. And Hyatt and his colleagues wanted to know if what they were seeing in their clinics represented a national trend.
