Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Linda Kenyan.
Vice President J.D. Vance is describing Canada as more hostile to the U.S. on trade than
China.
“His comment said a campaign rally in Maine, "Come as the administration hits Canada with”
a new 50% tariff. Steve Missler, from Maine Public Radio, has the story." Vance's comments come amid an escalating trade war after last week's deal between the U.S. and Canada fell apart, prompting threats of retaliatory tariffs. Vance did little to tamp down the war of words, and at one point stoked ongoing fears
among Canadians that President Trump aims to make the country the 50-first state. "Hand it is a state, sorry, for what he has lived." That was actually an accident. Vance also said Canada is entirely dependent on the U.S. military for protection against foreign invasion.
For NPR News, I'm Steve Missler in Bangor, Maine. President Trump and Education Secretary Linda McMahon hosted a back-to-school event at the White House yesterday as hundreds of thousands of students are returning to the classrooms this week. The President used the event to celebrate what he called his "winds" in education policy.
Immediately upon taking office, I signed an executive order to ban critical race theory,
to ban transgender ideology from public schools. As a big deal, we ban men from playing in women's sports. That was so easy to do. I don't get it. They're still arguing.
They're still fighting. The President also celebrated efforts to shut down the Department of Education and bolster school choice. Alabama's Attorney General has issued a subpoena demanding open AI respond to an investigation after one of its AI agents hacked into another company.
NPR's John Ruitch has the story.
“Open AI reported in July, it discovered AI agents in testing had co-operated in secret with”
one another and won a scape to test zone, reaching the internet and hacking into a company called Hugging Face. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall ordered open AI to respond to an investigation into how it handled the incident. Alabama is looking into whether open AI violated the state's deceptive practices act.
It's asking for company information and data about the incident and it's giving open AI until September 14th to respond. Earlier this month, a group of state attorneys general, including Marshall, told open AI to preserve its records about the breach. Marshall said the incident showed that Americans worst fears about AI are not just theoretical.
John Ruitch and P.R. News. European leaders joined Ukraine's President Zelensky and Keeve to mark Ukraine's 35th penance day. The anniversary comes as Ukraine continues to fight the Russian invasion that began in 2022. UK Prime Minister joined other European leaders in proud pledging further military and financial
support. You're listening to NPR. A study published by a team of researchers at Rockefeller University finds people who participate in high-intensity interval training may reap certain benefits that aren't seen with other forms of aerobic exercise.
NPRs will stone reports. The study shows high-intensity training provokes a robust response throughout the bloodstream. Those in the study completed either six all-out sprints on the bike for 30 seconds with a few minutes rest or a moderate-paced ride for 90 minutes. There were many more changes in proteins and other molecules in the high-intensity group.
The researchers then compared some of those changes to a large database from the UK and found they were associated with better cardiovascular and metabolic health. However, the emphasize the results come from young, healthy adults and need to be confirmed in different populations. They say it does not prove high-intensity is necessarily better.
Willstone and PR News Diet and exercise may or may not be part of the equation in the UK, or zookeeperism and corraling animals for the annual weigh-in day at the London Zoo. They've been coaxing birds, reptiles, and mammals to hop on the scales for their annual weigh-in. Even fish have been taking part, although I'm not exactly sure how they hopped onto the
scale.
“Annual weigh-ins are important because they help zookeepers monitor the animals' health and”
well-being. The weights are shared to a global database, which helps compare information on the animals, including those who are endangered species. The deaf futures are up, two points, I'm Linda Kenyan, and PR News in Washington. For the past 25 years, a rare Pacific ecosystem has been undisturbed.
Now the Trump administration is opening nearby waters to commercial fishing.

This week on the Sunday Story, we discuss what's at stake for this wild ecosystem.
