Live from NPR News in Washington, on Corvaculman, the price of fuel continues...
now Saudi Arabia's oil exports have been slashed after attackers damaged its major
oil pipeline going to the Red Sea.
“Ellen R. Wald is an oil markets expert in author.”
She says the pipeline had given Saudi government another way to export its oil. "It allows them to get that oil all the way to the Red Sea. They have a number of refineries there. They're able to export. They have a port there.
So the fact that this pipeline is out of commission really puts a crimp in Saudi Arabia's ability to get its oil and its products to customers worldwide." She spoke to NPR's morning edition.
The US is blocking Palestinian Authority President Makwo Dabas from traveling to New York.
He was supposed to address the UN General Assembly next week. The US State Department is accusing the Palestinian Authority of glorifying terrorism. The Palestinian Authority called an unjustified move that weak in the Palestinian partner committed to peace, and bears the annual Austrian reports from Tel Aviv.
“It's the second year in a row that the Trump administration is denying a visa to the Palestinian”
leader to attend the gathering of world leaders at the United Nations. The Palestinian Authority president opposes Hamas and has called for a peace agreement with Israel. But the US State Department said it's blocking Palestinian officials from visiting the US because of their "failure" to reform and activities that undermine the prospects for peace,
including financial support for Palestinians convicted for attacks on Israelis. The UN will hold a vote on whether to allow the Palestinian Authority leader to give his address by video like last year. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is traveling to New York to address the UN. Daniel Estrin NPR News, Tel Aviv.
South American farmers in rural northern border states are trying to adapt to new retaliatory tariffs on farm equipment from Canada. NPR's Kirk Seagler reports it's just the latest head-win for farmers who are also coping with record diesel and fertilizer prices. Lee Dauman Farms in Montana's Golden Triangle, one of the country's top wheat growing areas,
he's been trying to save money on fertilizer by rotating in crops like lentils that naturally inject nitrates into his soil and using new smart tech that selectively drops fertilizer or pesticides from his sprayer.
“Still farmers like Dauman here say Canada is an important trading partner.”
And until the retaliatory tariffs hit the other day, communities here had benefited from buying everything from parts supplies and groceries over the northern border.

Dinner-based violence, but specifically femicides is such a huge issue in South Africa. As a woman, you can't do anything alone, you jog, you can get killed, you go to the post office, you can get killed, in your homes, you can get killed. That's 26-year-old Charry Madhu Leke, who took part in one of the many community runs around the country and wins day in honor of the victims.
One of whom had been killed while out on her daily run and it just makes me angry that I can't move freely like my whole country feels like a prison. South Africa has some of the highest rates of violence against women in the world with an estimated 15 women killed daily according to rights group, women for change, Kate Bartlett, NPR News, Johannesburg.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is in France today. He spoke earlier to the European Parliament. The European Commission is proposing that Canada should become a type of associate member of the trade block. Carney says this is a positive step, but President Trump does not like this.
He says if Canada and the European Union move forward with the trade proposal, he could see it as a hostile act. He says he'll put any additional heavy tariffs on Europe. This is NPR. This is irreglously.
On this American life, we tell stories about when things change, like for this guy David, who's an entire life took a sharp and expected and very unpleasant term, and it did
take me a while to realize that it's basically because the monkey pressed the button.
That's right, because the monkey pressed the button.
