Live from NPR News in Washington, on Corva Coleman, Chinese President Xi Jinp...
President Trump for a state banquet in Beijing. This came after their day of meetings. Both countries' released statements, China said the issue of Taiwan should not be mishandled that could risk conflict between the U.S. and China. During his banquet remarks, Xi emphasized cooperation.
He's heard here through an interpreter.
“"We both believe that the China U.S. relationship is the most important bilateral relationship”
in the world.
We must make it work and never mess it up.
Both China and the United States stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation." The White House released a statement also emphasizing cooperation, but it made no mention of Taiwan. During his banquet remarks, President Trump offered the Chinese leader and the first lady and invitation.
"Thank you again, President Xi, for this beautiful welcome and tonight it is my honor to extend an invitation to you and Madam Peng to visit us at the White House, the September 24th, and we look forward to it." Trump departs China tomorrow. The Trump administration is withholding $1.3 billion in Medicaid payments to California.
And as Jacqueline D.L.s reports, the administration is demanding that states prosecute Medicaid fraud. Vice President J.D. Vance announced these actions as part of his role as the administration's frauds are. He said the White House is targeting California because it isn't taking fraud seriously.
The administration is sending letters to all 50 states. It's threatening to freeze funding to the state's Medicaid programs. Unless they aggressively go after Medicaid fraud, as part of this crackdown, the administration is also imposing a six-month freeze on some new Medicare enrollment by hospice at home care providers.
Jacqueline D.L.s and PR news.
There's a new name for a medical condition that affects more than 170 million women worldwide.
And PR's Allison Aubrey reports it's now called Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome. The syndrome is characterized by fluctuations in hormones and weight as well as reproductive issues in skin conditions. For many years, it's been called Polycystic Oversendrum or PCOS. But many women who struggle with the condition do not have an increase in abnormal cysts
on the ovary. And this led to delays and diagnosis when doctors or patients did not know to look for the broader set of symptoms.
“Experts say it's important that the new name avoid reproductive terms that can heightened”
stigma and lead to confusion. A transition period will include an education and awareness campaign, the journey of the name
change to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome is documented in a report in the Lancet.
Allison Aubrey and PR news. You're listening to NPR News from Washington. The Federal Aviation Administration says it will put transponders in vehicles, working at airports. This comes after two air-candidat pilots were killed at LaGuardia Airport in New York
in March, their jet collided with an airport fire truck that did not have a transponder. The Senate has confirmed Kevin Worsh is the next chair of the Federal Reserve, mostly on a party-line vote. Worsh had already won confirmation this week to be a fed governor. He will succeed Jerome Powell, whose term is fed chair and tomorrow.
Senate Democrats have expressed concern over whether Worsh will serve independently from President Trump. A team of scientists believes they found evidence of what may have amounted to an ancient route canal in the undertalls. Ari Daniel has more.
Researchers unearthed nearly 60,000-year-old Neanderthal tooth, a molar in a Siberian cave. It had a deep hole on the biting surface. When the team looked more closely, they noticed microscopic radial grooves that they think may have been artificially created by drilling into the tooth to deal with a cavity perhaps. Rachel Callisher is a bioarchiologist at UC San Diego who wasn't involved in the research.
She's open to the idea that Neanderthal's were capable of treating cavities. It's certainly believable, but I'm not sure that the evidence that they provide is necessarily the smoking gun. Callisher agrees the hole was likely produced by a stone tool, but she can't be sure it was done intentionally.

“Why does AI now appear alongside nuclear war as one of humanity's biggest risks?”
I think it's the scale of it that makes it sound absurd. Episode 2 of Ari Doom explores simple steps to get there, and we might all need to grow this. If it's going to happen, it might happen very soon. Are we doomed?
And are the biggest problems, and what we can do.
