"Live from NPR News in Washington.
the US is reviewing its military forces in Europe. Heggseth made the announcement today while speaking at NATO headquarters in Brussels after criticizing allies he says have not done enough to provide for their own security. Heggseth also described as shameful European allies that denied US forces access to their bases for American attacks against Iran. Those countries include France and Spain. A formal signing ceremony is being held in Geneva
tomorrow on the deal to end the war between the US and Iran. President Trump says he's signed the memorandum of understanding. To researchers at MIT say they believe they've uncovered
“how a top-secret Russian missile actually flies. NPR's Jeff Brumfield says Moscow has fired”
that missile at Ukraine. In October, Russia launched what it said was a nuclear-powered missile. The missile flew for almost 15 hours, far longer than a regular missile could. Jake Heggseth is a researcher at MIT. He says nuclear-powered flight is something that is possible, but wildly expensive and very dangerous. Heggler and his colleagues got camped and analyzed the missile. They believe it's sucking air directly through its nuclear
core and spewing radioactivity as it flies. As a result, anyone living near is at enormous risk, potentially. And the missile, listen to all that useful, he says, despite being nuclear powered, it's relatively slow moving and easy to shoot down. Jeff Brumfield and PR News. The latest poll from NPR, PBS News and Marist, shows President Trump's approval ratings have fallen to record lows. One-third of Americans say they approve of Trump's handling

during his four years. The poll shows 36 percent of Americans approve of Trump's overall
job performance. The Senate postponed yesterday's confirmation hearing for President Trump's pick to be permanent director of national intelligence. NPR's Eric McDaniel reports. President Trump has two demands on Senate Republicans. First, he'll hold back Jay Clayton, his permanent pick as director of national intelligence, until Clayton's replacement as a federal prosecutor gets confirmed by the Senate. That leaves the very controversial bill, PULTI,
“in the job as acting DNI. Second, Trump has says he'll block renewal of a key spy law until”
Senate Republicans pass his election security bill, the Save America Act. They've tried twice and failed twice because the election bill doesn't have enough support to become law. It's unusual for the President to block the confirmation of his own cabinet nominee,
and the surveillance tool the government says is responsible for 60 percent of the material
in the president's daily intelligence briefing. Eric McDaniel and PR News Washington. This is NPR News.

NPR Scott Horsley says that now lost more than 500 points or close to 1%. The Federal Reserve held its benchmark interest rate steady, but updated forecast suggests members of the Fed's rate setting committee expect to raise rates by a quarter percentage point before the end of the year. The news comes
as a wartime spike in energy prices has pushed inflation to its highest level in more than three years. The Fed's new chairman, Kevin Warsh, vowed he and his colleagues will bring prices under control. I've said for years inflation is a choice. You bet it is. And today I'm announcing that this committee unambiguously and unanimously have decided we are going to deliver on that. Warsh also announced the formation of several task forces to review the way the Fed
tracked the economy. Manages its bond holdings and communicates with the public. Scott Horsley and Piano's Washington.
