Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor, Johnston.
A bell told at Ground Zero this morning in New York City as the nation observes 25 years
“since the September 11th terrorist attacks.”
A moment of silence was held at 846, marking the time the first hijack plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center. NPR's Brian Mann is at the site where family members are gathering to honor their loved ones.
People are reading out the names of those lost on 9/11 its family members speaking incredible
emotion here. There are no speeches that's according to Longstanding Custom but there is music, YoYo Ma is performing in the background to accompany them and just a few moments ago the Brooklyn Youth Chorus performed the Star Spangled Banner. That's MPR's Brian Mann reporting from Ground Zero.
This morning at the Pentagon, families read aloud the names of the 184 people who were killed when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the building. Petty Officer Third Class, Melissa Rose Barnes, United States Navy.
“President Trump is marking the anniversary at the Pentagon and will address the families”

Stocks opened sharply higher this morning on Wall Street after a report showing inflation remained elevated last month, and P.R. Scott Horsley reports the Dow Jones industrial diverged jump by about 576 points in early trading.
Consumer prices in August were up 3.4 percent from a year ago, leaving the annual inflation
rate unchanged from the month before, prices rose 4/10 per cent between July and August with a sharp jump in gasoline prices accounting for more than a third of that monthly increase. Energy prices have continued to climb in September with the average price of diesel fuel
“now topping $6 a gallon for the first time ever.”
Serving out volatile food and energy prices, the core inflation rate for the last 12 months cooled slightly, but core inflation for the month of August accelerated. Investors were already betting the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates when policy makers meet next week. Investors think today's inflation report makes a rate hike even more likely.
Scott Horsley and P.R. News Washington California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation
aimed at protecting children online.
Even banned social media platforms from offering users under 16 addictive features such as autoplay and personalized feeds, the measures are among the most extensive online protections for young people in the country. This is NPR. The AI company and Thropic issued a report on its efforts to disrupt threat actors trying
to use its AI model "clod" for malicious activity and PR's genre which report that includes blocking research that could lead to the development of biological weapons. The kind of science knowledge that experts say makes advanced AI useful in developing cures for diseases could also potentially be used to develop bioweapons, and that risky is one of the big concerns that AI researchers and policymakers have about the technology
and Thropic noted five case studies, one involved researching how to make a mosquito-borne disease more transmissible. Another involved redesigning toxins for what Anthropics says was a national program. Anthropics says it's hard to know definitively if the cases were related to plans to build bioweapons, but it notes that it disrupted the activity and shared the information with
the authorities and partners in the industry, and a note Anthropic is a financial supporter of NPR. John Roowich and PR News Missouri's Republican Dronking-Gresional map is blocked after a series of court rulings yesterday.
Jason Rosenbaum from St. Louis Public Radio Reports, the decisions mark as setback for republicans in the battle for control of the U.S. House. A federal judge in St. Louis had ordered that the Republican redistricting plan had to be used while he considers a case on it, but the U.S. Supreme Court blocked that yesterday with an unsigned order and no dissents.
So that means the map Missouri Republicans passed at the behest of Trump is blocked while the case is considered, and there's not much time before the election to actually consider it.
