"Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman.
A judge has declared a mistrial in the case of Lindsey Clancy, the Massachusetts woman who
“admitted to killing her three children in 2023.”
Priyanka Dale McClusky from Member Station, W.V.R. has more." After deliberating for almost 40 hours, the jury of nine women and three men said they remained deadlocked. Clancy's defense attorney Kevin Reddington told Judge William Sullivan that based on a note from the jury, just one member of the panel was holding out and preventing a verdict
of not guilty. "Even though they have agreed and expressed doubt, they are refusing to apply the law as you've given it." Reddington has argued Clancy should not be held responsible for killing her children. Korra, Dawson, and Kalin, because she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis.

The immigration and customs enforcement agency announced this week that 50,000 people were arrested by immigration officers in August, and Pierce Hemena Bustil has a report.
“The 50,000 figure is in addition to another nearly 50,000 in July, both are the highest”
numbers in a single month under this administration. David Hossman of the deportation data project is tracking these numbers. All kinds of ice arrests seem to have been increasing. What's new about the most recent surge is that more arrests seem to be happening now through jails and prisons through cooperation with state and local authorities.
And it suggests that maybe the administration is having more success in working with states and localities. He said there are particularly high numbers in Florida and Texas. Two states were local law enforcement cooperates with ICE. The U.S. job market rebounded last month after sluggish hiring in July.
As NPR Scott Horsley reports, employers added 162,000 jobs in August, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. Last month's job gains were somewhat stronger than forecasters had expected, and the employment talent for June and July were revised up by a total of 55,000 jobs.
“Having an August was concentrated in health care and hospitality, factories and construction”
companies also added workers. The U.S. workforce grew last month, reversing a downturn in July, many people joining the labor force in August found work which kept the unemployment rate low. Average wages in August were up 3.1% from a year ago, that's a smaller annual wage gain than the previous month, and recent months wage growth has not kept pace with rising prices,
so workers have seen a real erosion in their purchasing power. Scott Horsley, in Pair News, Washington. On Wall Street all 3 major indices closed lower today, the Dow lost 271 points, the S&P dipped by 29 points. This is NPR News.
The U.S. Britain, France and Germany have drafted a resolution that seeks to refer Iran to the UN Security Council. The resolution says Iran has failed to comply with its nuclear non-proliferation obligations. The countries hope to have the resolution reviewed by the Board of Governors of the U.N. nuclear watchdog.
Such a move has been considered since June of last year after the watchdog found Iran officially in non-compliance with those obligations.
Major storms caused a billion dollars worth of damage in Hawaii this spring.
Now, the island state is contending with the series of hurricanes. Hawaii Public Radio Savannah Herman Pot has more. Hawaii was still recovering from bat-to-bat spring storms when hurricane law-law sites wiped the state in August. Emergency officials are working to tell the losses from law law so far they've assessed
more than $83 million in damage. Now, hurricane law is expected to bring more rain to the island's early next week. Climate scientist Adam Smith trats major weather events, which are occurring more frequently. Back in the 1980s, the United States would go roughly three months between billion-dollar disasters in the last decade it's closer to every three weeks.
He says with climate change, more states may have multiple billion dollar disasters in one year, making it harder to recover. Front PR news, I'm Savannah Herman Pot.
