Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor, Johnston.
The nation is marking 25 years since the September 11th terrorist attacks. Memorial ceremonies will be held today in New York at the Pentagon and in Western Pennsylvania.
At Ground Zero, the ceremony will begin at the time the first hijack plane struck the
World Trade Center, and PR's Bryan Man reports from New York City. Every year, the 9/11 Memorial ceremony here in Lower Manhattan, people hold six moments
“of silence to mark key events of the attack and to honor the 2,977 people who died that day.”
Beth Hillman, who heads the 9/11 Memorial in Museum, says a new 7th moment of silence this year, will acknowledge those who died later after being exposed to toxic chemicals after the World Trade Center towers fell. A bell will ring, we will all fall silent, and we'll welcome the rescue recovery relief community, the survivors of the World Trade Center collapse, people who have really suffered
over the long term. President Trump is expected to speak at a ceremony at the Pentagon, and events will also be held in Chanksville, Pennsylvania, where one of the four hijack jet liners crashed, Bryan Man and PR News, New York. Missouri's Republican Drunk and National Map is blocked after a series of court rulings
yesterday, including an order from the U.S. Supreme Court. Jason Rosenbaum from St. Louis Public Radio Report, the Decisions Mark is set back for Republicans in the battle for control of the House.
“A federal judge in St. Louis had ordered that the Republicanity district team 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.
Jason Rosenbaum reporting. California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a package of bills aimed at online protections for children, Rachel Myro, from Liber Station, KQED, and San Francisco reports. Its 13 bills in all, one is a ban on addictive social media features for anyone under 16, another set safety rules for AI chat bots used by kids, thousands of family schools
and states have sued the tech industry over harms to young users, AI developers now face their own way. Newsom said the parents behind these bills, lawmakers among them all describe the same thing.
“Exhaustion and frustration anger, despair, feeling hopeless.”
The parents can't compete, can't compete with the engineering, can't compete with the algorithms. Some civil liberties groups argue the rules in fringe on privacy and free speech, but open AI back the chat bot bill saying it will help teens learn. For Imperial News, I'm Rachel Myro.
This is NPR News in Washington. The Trump administration is considering sweeping changes to the once a decade census that could exclude millions of immigrants from the official count. The Census Bureau says the proposals would leave out people without permanent legal status and sharply reduce the collection of racial and ethnic information.
Census figures help determine each state's representation in Congress and the electoral college, while racial data is used to track discrimination and disparities in areas such as income, housing, and public safety. Two Americans will go against each other and tonight's US Open Men's semi-final.
The winner will become the first black American to reach the tennis tournament singles
final in more than 50 years. NPR's Becky Sullivan has a preview of tonight's match. Francis Teofo in Ben Schulton are very different players. They have different styles, different personal stories, different identities. But this is a history that either could make.
No black man has played in the final of the US Open singles tournament since Arthur Ash, who won it in 1968, then appeared again and lost a few years later. Teofo is 28. He's the Maryland-born son of immigrants from Sierra Leone. Ben Schulton is 23.
He's mixed race. He's the son of two tennis players. His dad Brian, who's also his coach, is black. But Teofo and Schulton are among a new generation of American men, hoping to become the
first to win a grand slam singles title since Andy Roddick last did it in 2003.
The winner will play in the US Open Final on Sunday. Becky Sullivan and PR News. This is NPR. 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. This is his view of what guardrails could look like this week on Consider This, from NPR.
