Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst.
President Trump says he'll host Chinese leader Xi Jinping for a state dinner in Washington
later this month.
“And here's Emily Fang reports, U.S. planning for the trip has been unusually delayed”
for bilateral meetings of this level. For weeks, it was unclear whether China's leader would get a state dinner, frustrating Chinese officials who had made planning trips to Washington over the summer. Xi Jinping will be at the White House September 24th. On the issues that two countries will need to address are, an ongoing trade war, potential
rare earth export controls from China and U.S. sanctions on Iran. When taking questions from reporters about the dinner, Trump boasted about a new hellaport bill on White House grounds he is planning to use to receive Xi Jinping. "We're going to do great things with China. We've been doing very well with China.
China took advantage of us for years."
But that he said was the fall of previous administrations. Emily Fang and Pernu's Washington. The Lindsey Clancy Trial ended in "Mr. Trial," with the case has led to more public discussion about maternal mental health. Clancy's defense team argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she attempted
suicide and killed her three children. And here's reto-chattergy has more. Postpartum psychosis is an extremely rare condition, affecting only one or two in a thousand new moms. Most healthcare providers may come across just one or two patients in their lifetime.
And then, even general psychiatrists know little about the condition and how to treat it. It's not listed in the diagnostic and statistical manual of the DSM, which providers used
to diagnose mental health disorders.
Paranatal psychiatrists, like Dr. Nancy Biot at UMass Chan Medical School, want to change that.
“Having postpartum psychosis recognized in the DSM, I think is an absolute important”
step. A step towards helping providers accurately diagnose patients and treat them before the condition escalates, reto-chattergy and peer news. The job market rebounded last month after a disappointing July. The Labor Department says employers added 162,000 jobs in August, more than economists were
expecting, and the unemployment rate helped steady at 4.1%. And pure Scott Horsley has more. Wages are going up, but not as fast as they had been, and that's another sign. The job market's kind of stuck in neutral. Average Wages in August were up 3.1% from a year ago, that's a smaller annual increase
in the previous month, and lately workers' wages have not been keeping up with the rising cost of living. Just today, the price of diesel fuel hit an all-time high $5.85 a gallon, and of course that has the potential to drive up prices for everything that moves by truck or train. And peer Scott Horsley, hiring an August was concentrated in health care and facilities
and factories and construction companies, also added workers. The Wall Street lower by the closing bell that dialed down 271 points. You're listening to NPR news. A day after Tesla's new steering wheel-free taxi started offering rides in Austin, Texas, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says they're opening an investigation
into whether Elon Musk's cybercabs comply with safety rules. Tesla says it relied on a self-certification procedure to make sure the cybercabs were in compliance, but it's not sure they actually meet federal standards. The waters in Nepal have receded after last week's devastating floods, the killed over 1,200 people, but his impairs Jonathan Lambert reports the threats to the physical and mental
health of survivors remain. The catastrophic flooding destroyed or damaged at least seven hospitals and health centers according to the World Health Organization. Access to many more has been cut off because of damaged roads or bridges. That's making it harder to provide care to those injured, says Pidams and Kada,
a Nepalic Global Health Researcher at the University of Chester. The health system in Nepal is not prepared for this level of disaster.
“Health officials are setting up medical tents to provide essential services, like supporting”
late-stage pregnancies. Many survivors are also facing severe mental stress from witnessing the disaster or losing loved ones. Mental health services are available at some temporary shelters, but may not be enough to meet the tremendous need.
Golf carts are popular with tourists, but Rome Italy is not unbored. The city is mounting a crack down as hundreds of the carts started carrying tourists through the Historic Center. Critics say the drivers are parking illegally and making congestion worst, advocates those say the carts are silent, occupied by a space in the tourist vans and buses and don't
produce air choking exhaust. This is NPR. This week on the NPR Politics Podcast, Democratic Socialists are having a moment. What's their goal? The goal being to eventually reline the Democratic Party to perhaps some day develop
of an independent party, but we recognize that in the United States they're just as a two-party system. How Democratic Socialists are staking out political territory.
