been targeted by Iran with more than 185 missiles and more than 800 drones since Saturday.
“It's the highest number of attacks announced by a Gulf country since the start, the widening”
U.S. is really war with Iran, and beer's Ayabatrawi reports from Abu Dhabi. It's a very surreal moment because I'm standing in a five-star luxury hotel ballroom where the government has brought select press to come and attend a press conference where they have been giving us some more information about their position, their policies, domestic and international right now in the midst of this war, but also they've brought fragments in
front of me, right? Before me, I can see them charred burnt fragments of some of the more than 185 missiles and hundreds of drones that they have intercepted since the start of this war fired from Iran at the UAE, and they say nearly all of this has been intercepted, and the three deaths that have been recorded so far in the United Arab Emirates have been a result of debris
not from any direct hits. And beer's Ayabatrawi reporting. Stocks opened sharply lower today as the U.S. war with Iran pushed gasoline prices back above the $3 mark.
“And beer's got horsesley reports, the Dow, Jones, Industrial, average tumble about 1,000 points”
in early trading.
The average price of gasoline jumped 11 cents overnight, topping $3 a gallon for the first
time in three months. Low gasoline prices had been a counterweight to inflation for most of the last year, but AAA says that 3/11 a gallon gasoline is now slightly more expensive than it was a year ago. The war with Iran is not only pushed up global crude oil prices, but also caused a spike in the cost of natural gas.
If sustained, that could drive up already high heating and electricity bills. The airline stocks are lower on the threat of rising fuel oil prices, and Amazon shares opened down after drones damaged Amazon facilities in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates Ms. Iran responds to U.S. and Israeli strikes. It's got horsesley and Pyrenees, Washington.
It's Pyrenees election day in Arkansas.
“North Carolina and Texas, the U.S. Senate primaries in Texas are getting a lot of attention.”
That includes the Republican primary, and beer's Ashley Lopez says incumbent Texas Senator of John Cornan is seeking reelection. Cornan was elected in 2002, which his opponents aim, make him like a conservative from a different time, although Cornan often points out that he votes with Trump consistently. Ken Paxton, Texas attorney general for the past decade, is his most formidable appointing
opponent. And he has been hired in legal troubles for years, but he has said that like Trump, most of that has been political.
The other Republican running is Congressman Wesley Hunt, who has been polling third in
the race. Generating enough support that, I mean, it is likely this race could head to a runoff. And beer is Ashley Lopez reporting. On Wall Street, the Dow is down more than 1,100 points, more than 2%. This is NPR.
President Trump is to welcome German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to the White House today. The German leader has worked to strengthen his relationship with Trump, but as it comes as European leaders are asking questions about the war with Iran. Two research finds artificial intelligence systems may be reinforcing geographic stereotypes found online.
And beer's Windsor Johnston reports on the study, published in the journal "Plotforms and Society."
Researchers tested chatGPT with more than 20 million head-to-head comparisons between
places, including prompts asking which U.S. state has the laziest people. The model repeatedly ranked poor southern states highest, reflecting stereo types embedded in its training data. New York University Computer Science Professor Julia Stoyanovic says, "That's a structural problem."
"This is absolutely something that we should be worried about if they don't understand places. They learn statistical patterns from the Internet. And the Internet itself reflects these global inequality." She warns that his AI becomes part of search, education, and policy-making, those biases
could shape perceptions of entire regions, Windsor Johnston and PR news. U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a California law involving trans-gender children. The law generally blocks California public school teachers from revealing trans-gender students to their parents. A group of Christian teachers and parents had sued the state.
They said California is using the law to help students gender-transition against the will of their parents. I'm Corvacolman and PR News in Washington.
