Governors across the country ordered flags to be flown at half-staff and PR's bill

travel takes us to places where people paused and reflected. In Shanksville, Pennsylvania, a bell told for each life lost when Flight 93 crashed nearby. With the Pentagon, President Trump said the attacks brought Americans together. "We were all New Yorkers that day, every one of us, we were all New Yorkers." And in New York, Vice President Vance joined four ex-presidents at the World Trade Center Memorial

site to hear family speak the names of those who died. The speakers, brothers, daughters, grandchildren, look back on what was lost and they pledged never to forget.

There was more fighting overnight between Russia and neighbouring Ukraine with Russian drone and missiles against striking Ukraine's capital, Kiev, and as NPR's Charles Mains reports from Moscow, Ukrainian attack drones continued to wreak havoc on Russia as well. For months, Ukraine has shown a capacity to strike deep in the Russian interior, a part of

a strategy designed to make Russians experience a war that has reached some four and a half

years. Yet, Ukraine's attack on two gas facilities in Siberia, and all in the net's region, from 1,800 miles from the front line, is believed to be the deepest strike to date. Ukrainian drones also targeted another oil facility and logistics warehouse in the city of Soratov, and carried out strikes in the Volga grad in Tula regions.

Those attacks came just a day after Ukrainian drones set fire to the lone Caspian seaport in the Republic of Dagestan, and attack the main beach promenade in Russia's resort city of Sochi, entering more than 2,000 people. Charles Mains and Pernus Moscow Americans are getting financially squeezed as inflation wipes out any wage gains.

People just aren't people's pages, isn't keeping up with rising prices right now, and Heather Long, chief economist at Navy Federal Credit Union, says it's more than just at the gas pump. It's not just gas and diesel, yes, diesel prices are at a record high, and gas prices are

well above $4 again, but it's so much more, and that's what's really scary for the nation

and for policymakers. Hotel prices, motor vehicle repair and servicing, restaurant costs, cars and trucks. These were all big price increases in August, and they're certainly not all tied to the war in Iran.

Inflation is state stubbornly elevated more than five years after prices first saw it as

the economy emerged from the coronavirus pandemic. Diesel prices in the U.S. have hit yet another record, soaring past $6 a gallon on average, as the Iran war disrupts the world's flow of fuel, major US stock indexes rebound to say, clawing back much of their losses for the week, it's NPR. Tourism officials are asking visitors to steer clear of Kauai, one of Hawaii's most

picturesque islands as it recovers from the latest tropical storm to hit the state. Motor is still out for many intense wind and waves earlier this week from Hurricane Lowell damaged ocean front resorts and ripped apart roads, and long lines are backed up at Kauai's primary airport. Data Center anxiety has made its way into the housing market, and PR's Marissa J. Lang reports

on how the giant tech hub next door is affecting home values. More than ever, large data centers are being built around neighborhoods, prompting real estate agents to ask, "What should we tell clients?" A new study from the National Association of Realtors, which analyzed nearly 1,500 data centers, found there really isn't a one-size-fits-all answer.

Here's Lead Researcher, Nadia Evangelu. This may be a national conversation, but the actual real estate impact is very concentrated in a relatively small number of local markets. In some regions, data centers seem to correlate with economic growth, in others, researchers saw rising energy costs and land use concerns.

The group said it will continue to track markets as the data center footprint expands, Marissa J. Lang and PR News. For French fighter jets have embarked on a 40-day flight. The mission involves around 300 personnel in refueling and transport planes. The 25,000 mile journey will take the jets through the Arctic, tropics, and desert regions

with nine stopovers across three continents. The exercise is meant to highlight France's commitment to international law and freedom of navigation in St. PR. This week on Consider This, the researcher who just resigned from anthropic, why he believes AI is a threat to humanity.

Very soon, these things are going to be so capable that if they decide to go rogue, it's not going to be good. Plus, his view of what guardbrielle's could look like this week on Consider This from
