Live from NPR News in Washington.
The Lincoln has been at the center of concerns over mental health issues, as well as lack of fresh food and supplies. Reporter Steve Walsh with member station WHRO says the transition could still take some time. USS George Washington is now on its way to relieve USS Lincoln with their 5,000 sailors. It's hard to pinpoint when the Washington will arrive. Normally you would expect both carriers to remain in the region for a week or so. But a Navy official who wasn't authorized to speak publicly told me that there is no standard handoff period.
So the Lincoln could leave rather quickly once USS Washington arrives in the region.
The US Supreme Court has rebuffed President Trump for a second time, declining to hear his appeal of a 5 million dollar verdict in favor of Eugene Carroll.
A jury had found Trump libel for sexually abusing and defaming the former magazine columnist.
“Opening statements are scheduled to begin in Las Vegas today in the trial of the man accused of playing a key role in the 1996 murder of rap artists to pack Shakur.”
Steve Futterman reports. Prosecutors will accused Wayne Davis a former powerful gang leader of orchestra in the killing. He will not be accused of pulling the trigger, but rather putting together all the elements that ended with Shakur being shot. The key evidence will be Davis' own words in interviews and in a 2019 memoir where he says he supplied the gun used in the murder and was in the car that drove up alongside Shakur. The defense is expected to claim that Davis was fabricating and embellishing Shakur's cousin William LaSaine does not believe the explanation.
Of course he's going to evade accountability by saying that he embellished for the last 15 years. Davis now also claims he wasn't even in Las Vegas the night of the killing. For impure news, I'm Steve Futterman in Las Vegas. China's exports are booming despite tariffs from the US and Europe, but the latest government numbers show the rest of the economy is sluggish. Many economists say China needs its consumers to spend, but the bulk of them have their wealth in real estate.
Real estate investment dropped 19% in the first seven months of the year, and home prices remain down.
Home owners feel poor and are more cautious about spending. Retail sales, which is a proxy for consumption, was stagnant last month, growing at just 0.6% year on year. It also didn't help that there were heavy rainfall and strong winds hitting large parts of China and July, forcing factories and ports to shut. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated from their homes. Another reason people hesitate to spend, unemployment remains high at 5.2% in July. Jennifer Pack and PR news Beijing.

Duahli, PsychoTow, and PR news. A child's safety trial against Mehta begins in federal court this week in California. The lawsuit accuses the social media giant of contributing to the youth mental health crisis by knowingly and deliberately designing features that get children addicted to its online platforms. It also claims that Mehta routinely collects data on children under 13, without first getting their parents consent.
