What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Live from NPR News, I'm Giles Snyder.
What recent legal developments involve James Comey and Donald Trump?
Former FBI Director James Comey says he's grateful that the case against him has been dismissed by a federal judge, but he believes it won't end there.
I know that Donald Trump will probably come after me again, and my attitude is going to be the same. I'm innocent, I am not afraid, and I believe in an independent federal judiciary.
U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan-Curry dismissed the case against Comey as well as the case against New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday, saying the prosecutor who brought the charges at President Trump's urging was illegally appointed by the Justice Department. A new Pew study of Latinos finds big concerns over the economy and immigration, and NPR's Domenico Montanaro reports they blame President Trump's policies.
The Pew Research Center polled more than 5,000 Latinos in the past two months, which is more than 10 times the average of a national poll. And what they found was significant. 70 percent disapprove of the job that Trump is doing. On the economy, four in five view it negatively, and 61 percent say Trump's policies have made things worse. On immigration, two-thirds disapprove of how Trump's handling it. More than that say that he's doing too much when it comes to deportations. Overall, a majority say they have serious concerns about their place in America. And one in three say they've contemplated leaving the country. Domenico Montanaro, NPR News, Washington.
Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has been released from a Chicago hospital. A family statement issued through his Rainbow Push coalition says he was released Monday and remains in stable condition. Jackson is 84. He was hospitalized nearly two weeks ago. Jackson was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2013. His family says his diagnosis changed in April to progressive supranuclear palsy, a neurological disorder. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed on social media that the original U.S.-backed 28-point peace plan viewed as favoring Russia is no more. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports that Ukraine's European allies weighed in during talks in Geneva to alter what has been seen as an unacceptable plan.
The original plan drawn up by Russia and the U.S. crossed nearly every one of the red lines set down by Ukraine and Europe. German Chancellor Frederick Meyers told President Trump the entire European continent was at stake in the negotiations. Zelensky wrote on Telegram that after difficult work, many of the right elements have been taken into account in the new framework. He said he would discuss the most sensitive issues with President Trump. Zelensky's statement seems consistent with reports that issues such as Ukraine ceding its occupied territories and agreeing to forego NATO membership have been set aside for direct talks between Zelensky and Trump. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Kiev.
And you're listening to NPR News. The South African government is developing a new system to regulate mental health tools that use artificial intelligence. Officials hope this will be a model for other countries. NPR's Gabrielle Emanuel reports.
People are increasingly using AI chatbots for things like emotional support and even talk therapy. Now, the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority, which usually approves medications and vaccines, says it will study these AI tools for their safety and efficacy and then develop a regulatory framework. Bilal Mateen works for PATH, the nonprofit South Africa is partnering with.
We want to live in a world where clinicians can point to the series of tools and say they've met the mark, right? We both know they are effective.
He anticipates the new regulatory system will be up and running in South Africa in two to three years.
What concerns do Latinos have regarding the economy and immigration?
Gabriela Emanuel, NPR News.
