Live from NPR News in New York City, I'm Duahli Psych-Houtel.
Democrat Javier Bessera tells a crowd tonight in Spanish, as they "a tu estado".
This is your state.
“He added in English, "See you in November."”
The Associated Press has Bessera has won one of the top two spots in California's primary election for governor, from Member Station KQED in San Francisco, Marissa Lagos reports. The Sarah's number one finished marks a remarkable comeback for the former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary, who is pulling in single digits as recently as April, before surging in the final weeks of the race.
It remains unclear who will claim a second spot in November runoff. Republican businessman Steve Hilton still has an edge over billionaire Democratic activist Tom Styer, but Styer has been gaining ground as ballots continue to be counted, and estimated
three million un-counted ballots remain.
California's open primary system allows the top two vote getters to advance regardless of party, and mail-in ballots postmarked by election day can still arrive up to seven days later. From PR News, I'm Marissa Lagos in San Francisco.
“The State Department announced today that the U.S. will commit an additional $38 million”
to try and control the latest Ebola outbreak in parts of Africa. If the outbreak is not contained, the CDC says Africa could surpass the size of the biggest Ebola outbreak that happened more than a dozen years ago, killing several thousand people, and PR's Rob Stein reports. The CDC estimates the outbreak of Ebola currently underway in the Democratic Republic
of Congo and Uganda could cause more than 20,000 cases that would rival the outbreak that started in West Africa in 2014, killing 11,000 people. But the CDC says the outbreak could be contained if more people are isolated after being exposed to the virus to limit the spread. Despite the grave situation in Africa, the CDC estimates the risks of the U.S. remains low,
Rob Stein and PR News. Russian President Vladimir Putin is rejecting an offer by Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky to meet face-to-face talks, and PR's Charles Mane's reports.
“Speaking that an annual economic forum in his hometown of St. Petersburg, Putin told”
assembled guests he saw no point in meeting with the Ukrainian president, Putin noted the mocking tone of Zelensky's letter, which took Diggs at Putin's age now 73, and suggested Zelensky's relaying was to stall Russian progress on the battlefield, rather than come to a comprehensive settlement to end the war. Putin also made clear his military objectives have changed little, despite more than four
years of incremental territorial gains at the cost of hundreds of thousands of dead and injured. The response Zelensky argued the Russian leader, when given the chance for peace, has again chosen war. Charles Mane's MPR News, St. Petersburg.

The Senate agreed early this morning to pass a roughly $70 billion bill that would help fund
ice and border patrol agencies through the remainder of President Trump's term. The legislation had been delayed for weeks, the bill now heads to the House of Representatives which could vote on this as early as next week. The hardest to shoot in the body is tooth and mammal, and Piers' Nate Rot reports a new study looks at how it's evolved to change with human diets.
Enamel is the poorly white outermost layer of teeth. It's founded many vertebrate species, and unlike bones, it can't repair itself, so it needs to be especially durable. The new study published in the journal Nature looks at the structure of Enamel on the nanoscale, very close up.
Pupagilbert, the lead author, is a physicist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. "What you see is that there are very parallel crystals that are parallel like three hair in a ponytail, if you wish." But they found in species such as meat-eating early humans that ate harder or tougher foods, as parallel crystals were slightly as skew, a tiny adaptation the study finds that helps

A new NPR Ipsos poll shows most K through 12 educators are using artificial intelligence in their administrative prep work, but teachers are apparently on the fence about the overall impact of AI on education, especially on the benefits for students. The findings show more than half of teachers' poll say AI is a kind of shortcut for students.
