What recent Supreme Court case is impacting birthright citizenship?
Supreme Court says it'll take up the Trump administration's effort to restrict birthright citizenship. NPR's Martin Costi reports the high court could upend more than a century's tradition of automatic citizenship for people born on U.S. oil.
On his first day back in office, President Trump signed an order withholding citizenship from babies born to non-U.S. citizens in the country illegally or on a temporary visa. The White House says such situations should not be covered by the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to people born in the country. Ohio State Law Professor Cesar Guatemala Garcia Hernandez says it's a momentous case.
One that has ramifications that are... hard to fathom, to rewrite the way in which citizenship has been conceived of for several generations.
So far, lower courts have disagreed with Trump's stance and blocked implementation of his order. Martin Kosty, NPR News.
The congressional gerrymandering fight for next year's midterm elections is over for Texas. The Supreme Court is allowing the state to use its recently redrawn map that could help Republicans keep control of the House of Representatives. President Trump has suggested he could move some World Cup matches away from some Democratic-led host cities. At today's World Cup draw, the president was asked if he would follow through on his suggestions.
I will tell you, if they do have a problem, by the time we get there, we'll take care of that problem. We can solve that problem. I've proven that in D.C. and everywhere else we went, so we'll take care of that very easily.
During the ceremony at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Trump was awarded a newly created FIFA Peace Prize for brokering ceasefire agreements in Central Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The leaders of the other host countries, Canada and Mexico, were also in attendance. A new report from the Commerce Department shows inflation remains stubbornly high in September. But as NPR's Scott Horsley tells us, that's not expected to stop the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates next week.
The Commerce Department's inflation yardstick, which is closely watched by the Fed, shows prices in September were up 2.8 percent from a year ago. That's a slightly larger annual increase than the previous month, but core inflation, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, was slightly lower than in August. Investors think the Fed is more concerned about weakness in the job market than rising prices right now, so policymakers are expected to lower their benchmark interest rate by another quarter percentage point next week. A survey by the University of Michigan shows consumers are feeling slightly better about the economic outlook than they were a month ago, but sentiment is still pretty gloomy compared to this time last year.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up nearly 160 points. You're listening to NPR News. Russian President Vladimir Putin says that his country is prepared to facilitate uninterrupted shipments of fuel to India. Putin spoke following a bilateral summit during his first visit to India since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. And PRC Hadid has the latest.
India ramped up its purchasing of Russian oil after the invasion of Ukraine and is now one of the world's biggest buyers. It also sells Russian oil products onwards. But in recent weeks, Indian companies have curbed their purchases. It came after the Trump administration imposed 50% tariffs on goods from India and after sanctions were slapped on major Russian oil producers. It's not clear how Putin can continue uninterrupted shipments of fuel to India, but energy analysts say there's been an increase in sanctions-avoiding behaviour on the high seas.
