Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Core of a Coleman.
It's still not clear when the U.S. and Iran might hold peace talks.
President Trump says he does not want to extend the cease fire, but NPR's Freckle Ordonus reports he didn't close off the possibility entirely. Trump continued his aggressive posturing with Iran ahead of a scheduled new round of peace negotiations, led by his vice president, J.D. Vance. In an interview on CNBC, Trump left little room for extending the cease fire, even if
talks were progressing. "I don't want to do that. We don't have that much time." Any war in the consequences without a deal are significant.
“"I expect to be bombing because I think that's a better attitude to go in with, but”
we're ready to go.
I mean, the military is rare and to go."
Trump continues to swing between saying negotiations are going well and that the conflict will end with a "great deal." But also warning that if talks fail, the U.S. is ready to go militarily, Franco. Fordonus and P.R. News, the White House. President Trump's nominee to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve is at his confirmation
hearing, Kevin Warsh is testifying before the Senate Banking Committee. "To the president, to the Congress, the nation. I owe my best judgment and my most faithful efforts in serving the mission that U.N. Congress assigned to the Federal Reserve, including full employment and stable prices." Warsh has previously supported interest rate hikes to fight inflation, but President Trump wants
to cut rates. Warsh says he will be an independent voice.
“"Monitary policy makers must act in the nation's interest.”
Their decisions, the product of rigor, deliberation, and unclouded decision-making." But at least one Republican won't support Warsh, North Carolina Republican Tom Tillis says he won't support any Fed nominee until President Trump drops his probe into the current Fed chair Jerome Powell. A California measure that would establish guardrails for AI chatbots has won support from state
lawmakers. They were urged to act by a woman who lost her son to suicide. From Member Station KQED, Rachel Myroh has more. "Mario Rain of 7 California says her 16-year-old Adam started using OpenAI's chatGBT for help with his homework, college applications, and how best to end his life.
With chatGBT's support, he hanged himself for a year ago." "ChatGBT did what it was designed to do. Sicofantically validate and encourage everything Adam said, and above all keep him engaged." Now she's suing OpenAI and encouraging state and federal legislation. The Trump administration has tried unsuccessfully to impose a moratorium on states enacting
any kind of AI safety rules. For NPR News, I'm Rachel Myroh." Some Wall Street stocks have turned negative that I was down 50 points. This is NPR.
Convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein is going on trial for a third time in New York City,
accused of rape. He was first convicted there in 2020, but a judge overturned the verdict. A second jury deadlocked on the question, a third trial was ordered. That new jury is hearing opening arguments today. The federal government has a new plan to prop up water levels in the nation's second largest
reservoir, Lake Powell. The lake strattles the border between Arizona and Utah, it's fed by Colorado Riverwater. From member station KJ ZZ, Alex Hanger reports experts say the plan is a short-term solution. Federal officials will send water from Wyoming and Utah down to Lake Powell. They'll also reduce the amount of water that flows out of Powell and into the Grand Canyon.
Having water levels are threatening the infrastructure inside the dam that holds Powell back, and shuffling water around will help keep the system running for now. Eric Balkan directs the nonprofit Glen Canyon Institute. This action that's being taken is a band-aid solution for a gaping wound, because it's a short-term measure that does not get at the root of the problem, which is overconsumption
of water. Leaders from seven western states are under pressure to agree on a plan to reduce that consumption from the Colorado River, but their negotiations have hit a standstill. For NPR News, I'm Alex Hanger in Phoenix. Both the state of Maryland and the Justice Department have sued the Water Authority in
Washington, D.C. This is over a mammoth sewage spill in January into the Potomac River. The lawsuit claims that D.C. water failed to keep its sewage pipes in good repair. This is NPR. Oh, hey there, I'm Brittany Loose, and I don't know, maybe this is a little out of pockets
