Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly. President Trump is back in Washington after returning from his trip to the Middle East, where he celebrated the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza as part of his 20-point peace plan between Israel and Hamas. NPR's Daniel Kurtzleben says Trump is expected to turn his attention back to domestic issues, including the ongoing government shutdown.
Trump applauded the deal at the Israeli Knesset.
Generations from now, this will be remembered as the moment that everything began to change and change very much for the better. Like the USA right now. It will be the golden age of Israel and the golden age of the Middle East.
Now he goes back to Washington to handle multiple ongoing challenges. The government shutdown has entered its 14th day with no resolution in sight. Trump is also ratcheting up his trade war with China. On Friday, he announced massive new 100% tariffs on Chinese goods. That's in addition to steep tariffs he has already imposed. The trade war has raised prices and hurt U.S. farmers. Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR News.
NPR, The New York Times and the Associated Press are among news outlets announcing they won't sign a new Defense Department document outlining new rules for the press. According to Pentagon officials, reporters who don't sign on to the new restrictions won't be allowed to work there after today. In a statement, NPR's editor-in-chief, Thomas Evans, says the new policy asked reporters to undermine their commitment to independent journalism by giving the Trump administration final say over what can and cannot be reported about the U.S.
What recent developments occurred in the Middle East involving President Trump?
military and its actions. The U.S. and China have completed another round of trade talks amid heightened trade tensions. That's according to China's Commerce Ministry in Beijing. NPR's John Ruich says these latest discussions precede this month's scheduled meeting between President Trump and China's President Xi Jinping.
Beijing and Washington are locked in a standoff after China unveiled strict new export controls on rare earth minerals last week, and Trump said he would retaliate with a new 100% tariff on Chinese goods starting in November. A Chinese Commerce Ministry statement blamed the U.S. for the friction, saying the Trump administration has adopted a string of measures recently that have hurt China's interests and undermined the atmosphere for consultations. Despite that, though, it says there were working-level talks between the two sides, but it warned that the U.S. cannot demand talks while threatening China with new restrictive measures. John Ruich, NPR News, Beijing.
Authorities in western Alaska say at least one person has died after the remnants of a typhoon hit the region with strong winds and heavy rains. Some homes were knocked off their foundations and swept away in floodwaters, leading to the rescues of dozens of people there. This is NPR News from Washington. California is becoming the first state in the U.S. to implement certain protections on artificial intelligence and social media platforms. They're designed to better protect users, especially children. One measure signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom requires law enforcement agencies in the state to disclose whether and how they used AI to write police reports. Rachel Miro with member station KQED has more.
State Senator Jesse Arreguin of the San Francisco Bay Area said he's not opposed to law enforcement using AI. He just wants transparency, accuracy and accountability for the courts and the public.
Because this is the official report, a legal document which is so essential in criminal legal proceedings that could decide the fate and the freedom of people.
While some law enforcement groups were opposed, Araguin said he amended the bill to address their concerns, including adding a provision that says only the final police report will be considered an officer's official statement.
