Associated Press journalists who witnessed Sept. 11 remember what they saw, 25 years later
SUMMARY: Twenty-five years after the Sept. 11 attacks, current and former Associated Press journalists who witnessed them recall the day. Reporter Karen Matthews was holding her 3-year-old daughter while pulling out a notebook as people around her asked, “What did you see?” Photographer Richard Drew captured the image that became known as “The Falling Man.” Journalist Larry Neumeister watched hospital workers prepare wheelchairs for thousands of patients who never came. Photographer Amy Sancetta remembers office paper floating through the sky “like birds.” Their memories show what it was like to document a historic tragedy while living through it themselves.

Public silence raises hopes among 200,000 Salvadoran immigrants for extended legal protections
SUMMARY: A deadline for the Trump administration to decide on extending legal protections for about 200,000 immigrants from El Salvador passed without any public announcement, raising hopes among some that it may be automatically extended for six months. The Department of Homeland Security has been quiet about its plans, saying in a Wednesday statement that it would make an announcement “at an appropriate time” and that Temporary Protected Status for El Salvador would remain in effect until then. Its silence sent attorneys and advocates scrambling to explain what might happen next.

A pilot of the Amazon cargo plane that careened off Miami runway warned it was coming in too fast
SUMMARY: One of the pilots of the Amazon cargo plane that careened off a Miami runway and killed five people repeatedly warned they were coming in too fast roughly two minutes ahead of the collision. That’s according to highlights of the cockpit recording that the National Transportation Safety Board released Wednesday. The summary of cockpit voice recordings compiled by the NTSB said the fellow pilot never gave “a consistent verbal response” to the warnings. The plane touched down awkwardly, briefly attempted to take off and then smashed into a van carrying the five victims.

The Tate brothers must stay locked up during their UK extradition fight, US judge says
SUMMARY: A federal judge in Miami has ruled that social media influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate must remain in custody as they fight extradition to the United Kingdom. That’s where the brothers are accused of rape and sex trafficking. They have repeatedly denied wrongdoing. A judge on Wednesday denied a defense motion for release, meaning the Tates will remain jailed during what could be a monthslong extradition process. The Tates have become among the world’s most polarizing internet personalities with their promotion of wealth, male dominance and misogyny through their social media empire.

Cleaning crew killed in Miami cargo jet crash was wrapping up shift at hard, demanding job
SUMMARY: Five members of a cleaning crew were wrapping up their shift when they were killed as an Amazon cargo jet plowed into their van at the Miami airport. A lawyer for one of the victims, Yoel Rodriguez Naranjo, filed a wrongful-death lawsuit Wednesday. The crew worked for Professional Ocean Service Corporation, which has cleaned planes at the airport for 15 years. The company cleans the inside and outside of private and commercial jets. A union that represents aircraft cleaners says the job is hot, dangerous, and not well-compensated.

A NYC firehouse was first to respond on 9/11. 25 years on, Sal Argano is the last still on staff
SUMMARY: The fire station across from the World Trade Center has become a key stop along the route for visiting the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people. All day long, tourists stop at “Ten House,” as it’s known, to take photos and chat with firefighters. Six members of the station were among the 343 New York City firefighters who perished that day. After 25 years, Sal Argano is the last from the crew that was the first to respond when terrorists hijacked and crashed two jetliners into the twin towers.

An appeals court is considering a push to restrict most common abortion method
SUMMARY: A panel of federal judges is considering Louisiana's assertion that mifepristone, a key drug in the most common abortion method in the U.S., should not be dispensed anywhere but a medical facility. The case argued Wednesday before the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is one of three making its way through the courts. Even if the appeals panel agrees, the policy won't change right away. That's because the U.S. Supreme Court has already said the current rules will remain in effect while the case is resolved. Abortion pills have been the center of legal fights since the top court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

US Supreme Court again rejects push to use Trump-backed congressional map in Missouri
SUMMARY: The U.S. Supreme Court has again rejected Missouri congressional maps backed by President Donald Trump, a loss for Republicans trying to maintain control of the House in the fast-approaching midterm elections. The decision Thursday appears to clear the way for use of the old map, as the state's highest court had ordered. It's part of a pitched court battle that has created confusion for voters and others shortly before ballots begin going out for the November elections. The maps were drawn to help Republicans gain an additional U.S. House seat. It’s the second time the high court has refused to keep the Trump-backed maps in place.

Trump wants to make this midterm year 'special' to avoid losing Republican control of Congress
SUMMARY: Republicans at their midterm convention in Dallas know that history is not on their side this election season, but they are counting on President Donald Trump to rally voter enthusiasm. Their House and Senate majorities are at stake this fall. Trump is headlining Thursday’s second night, just as he did the first, when he made the outlandish proposal of paying American adults a $5,000 dividend if the Republicans win. Republicans are working to shrug off voter concerns about the economy, the war in Iran or the direction of the country. Instead they are imploring voters to consider the GOP accomplishments. They warn of what’s coming if Democrats seize power.

Sept. 11 ranks among the most historic events in many Americans’ lifetimes, polling shows
SUMMARY: A new poll finds that the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks are still among the most significant historical events in many Americans' lives. About half of U.S. adults consider what happened that day to be one of the most pivotal events they've lived through, 25 years later. In contrast with more recent major events, like the 2008 financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic and presidential elections, 9/11 stands out for its lasting impact. The vast majority of Americans remember where they were when they heard the news about the attacks, and about two-thirds say it affected the country "a great deal" or "quite a bit." However, only about 1 in 10 plan to commemorate Friday's anniversary in some way.

Republicans showcase their 'big beautiful bill' to voters, but the law's impact has been mixed
SUMMARY: Working to keep the majority in Congress, Republicans are showcasing their chief legislative accomplishment in this midterm election. The so-called Big Beautiful Bill has had mixed results. Millions of people have enjoyed enhanced tax breaks, while millions are also losing access to federal food aid and health care. More immigrants are being arrested. As Republicans rally in Dallas for their midterm convention, the legislation is again under the spotlight. Democrats call it the “Big Ugly Bill.”

Trump, hoping to salvage midterms, makes a dubious pledge to give every US adult $5,000 if GOP wins
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump says he plans to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections. This promise, made at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, could cost over $1 trillion. Trump likens the payments to corporate dividends, citing economic success. However, the plan would further exacerbate the country's nearly $1.8 trillion annual budget deficit. Trump has explored unorthodox methods to defy the trend of the president's party losing seats in midterms. Earlier this year he suggesting paying a $2,000 dividend to Americans without asking for Congress' approval.

Foulkes defeats Rhode Island's Gov. McKee. He's the first governor in 8 years to lose a primary
SUMMARY: Helena Foulkes has defeated Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee in the state’s Democratic primary, ending his bid for a second full term. McKee’s defeat marks the first time in more than 30 years that a sitting Rhode Island governor has been beaten in a primary. He is the first governor in any U.S. state to lose a party primary since 2018. Foulkes is a former senior executive at CVS and the retailer Hudson’s Bay. She narrowly lost to McKee in a more crowded primary field in 2022. In their rematch, Foulkes has benefited from public exasperation over McKee’s handling of a bridge replacement project in the state capital.

Trump says oil prices that spiked because of Iran war likely won't come down until after midterms
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump says oil prices that spiked because of the Iran war likely won’t come down until after the U.S. midterm elections. Oil prices jumped more than 3% Wednesday, pushing international Brent crude past the $100 threshold for the first time since July as salvos between the U.S. and Iran escalated. Trump, in an exchange with reporters before traveling to Dallas for the midterm Republican convention, added that he believes Iran will finally relent after the pivotal elections are held in the U.S.

Democrats say Trump's 'bizarre' convention is a distraction from his faltering presidency
SUMMARY: Democrats are descending on Donald Trump’s midterm convention in Texas and urging voters to consider the reality of his presidency rather than the spectacle of his made-for-TV event. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, a potential 2028 presidential contender, says Trump is trying to distract voters from the Iran war, his trade wars with Canada and rising consumer prices. Texas Democrats, meanwhile, hope the convention spotlight ends up helping Senate candidate James Talarico and their nominee for governor, Gina Hinojosa. Talarico's campaign held a food drive Wednesday where the candidate compared his volunteers' efforts to wealthy Republican donors paying for access to Trump. Hinojosa met with women who've accused Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse.

Missouri's congressional map is back before the U.S. Supreme Court, sowing still more confusion
SUMMARY: The battle over Missouri’s congressional districts has returned to the U.S. Supreme Court, just two months before a crucial November election. Many Missouri voters are unsure which U.S. House districts they will vote in and which candidates will appear on their ballots. A federal appeals court panel sided with Republicans on Wednesday, supporting a new map backed by Trump. However, this decision was immediately appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Missouri's top court had previously ruled against the Trump-backed districts. Time is running out to resolve the issue before the election.

As midterms approach, new poll finds that few Americans trust campaigns or Trump
SUMMARY: A new AP-NORC/USA Facts poll finds that Americans are more skeptical of government information than they were a few years ago, with majorities now saying they have little or no trust in federal government information about elections, foreign affairs or the environment. Mistrust of government information has grown since 2024, just before President Donald Trump won a second presidential term, but it’s also higher than it was at the end of Trump’s first term. This underscores how his recent attempts to dismantle parts of the federal bureaucracy may have affected public confidence in the executive branch, particularly among Democrats.

Rubio spent Tuesday in Colombia meeting with new conservative firebrand President Abelardo de la Espriella, and is traveling to Quito on Wednesday for talks with Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa. Noboa has rapidly embraced the Trump administration’s get-tough stance on counternarcotics operations and illegal immigration.

Iran-backed Houthi rebels take strategic port city in Yemen, raising threat to Red Sea shipping
SUMMARY: The Iran-backed Houthi rebel group has taken control of Yemen's strategic Red Sea port city of Mokha. Houthi and Yemeni officials confirmed the takeover. This move could bring them closer to controlling a critical waterway to the Red Sea. Mokha had been held by forces aligned with Yemen’s internationally recognized government. The Houthis have been fighting a civil war with the government since 2014. The fighting now threatens a fragile truce that took effect in 2022. Meanwhile, Yemeni government forces launched airstrikes targeting Houthi reinforcements west of Taiz. Clashes also continued along Yemen’s western coast.

SUMMARY: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is in Canada for talks with Prime Minister Mark Carney. He aims to secure further support for Ukraine's fight against Russia.

Recent U.S. efforts to end the conflict have shown little progress, but talks between delegations from Moscow and Kyiv are expected to continue. Zelenskyy arrived in Calgary on Wednesday night. His flight from Moldova to Norway was delayed due to a drone incursion. The aerial drone battle between Russia and Ukraine has intensified since Russia's invasion in February 2022.

South Korea trying to learn if Kim Jong Un has a son but daughter's status as heir appears solid
SUMMARY: South Korea’s spy agency says it is trying to determine if North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has a son. South Korea's National Intelligence Service said Thursday it is still attempting to verify whether Kim’s teenage daughter has an elder brother. But the agency says that under the current circumstances he cannot be his father’s heir even if he exists. The NIS says Kim’s daughter appears to be in line to take over North Korea’s leadership. She is reportedly named Kim Ju Ae and believed to be around 13. Since late 2022, she has accompanied Kim to numerous high-profile events including missile launches and military parades.

Oil prices climb back to where they were in May and drag Wall Street lower
SUMMARY: U.S. stocks are sinking after oil prices jumped back to where they were in May. The S&P 500 fell 0.5% Thursday and is on track for a fourth straight loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 319 points, and the Nasdaq composite sank 0.6%. Stocks felt pressure as the price for a barrel of Brent crude got back above $105. Benchmark U.S. crude topped $100 for the first time since the spring as the war with Iran continues to clog the global flow of crude. Treasury yields rose in the bond market on increased worries about inflation.

US wholesale prices rise in latest sign of stubborn inflation as oil prices continue to climb
SUMMARY: Wholesale inflation picked up last month after cooling earlier this summer as higher oil and gas prices stemming from the Iran war are keeping costs elevated. The Labor Department’s producer price index — which captures inflation before it reaches consumers — rose 5.4% in August from a year ago, up from 4.7% in July, the government said Thursday. Inflation has shown some signs of easing in recent months but is still high, frustrating consumers who are struggling with more expensive gas, groceries, clothing and other essentials. Oil prices globally topped $100 a barrel this week on renewed fighting in the Middle East.

Alcohol, whey and motorcycles are in the crosshairs of the US import ban on Canada products
SUMMARY: The trade war between the U.S. and Canada escalated once again as the U.S. announced upcoming import bans on most alcoholic beverages from Canada, along with other products including whey, molasses and motorcycles. About $20 billion in Canadian products were already subject to 50% tariffs. The products targeted by the import bans set to be implemented on Sept. 29 were among those already tariffed. Exporting products to the U.S. with a 50% levy would have been difficult for Canadian businesses. But the import bans are designed to increase the pain even more.

Oil surges above $100 a barrel as US and Iran launch new attacks, while gasoline prices also jump
SUMMARY: Oil prices have shot past $100 a barrel as fighting between the U.S. and Iran escalates, threatening to increase costs for consumers and businesses worldwide. Brent crude, the international standard, climbed into triple digits for the first time since July and settled at $101.21 a barrel on Wednesday. The tipping point came a day after attacks on oil facilities and ships in the Middle East raised the risk of further disruptions to already constrained global oil supplies. Oil returning to the $100 mark raises concern because experts have warned that a prolonged period of steep prices would worsen the economic fallout of the conflict.

Renoir paintings are worth a fortune, but not when they're stolen
SUMMARY: Two Renoir paintings stolen from a small French museum have yet to be recovered but if the thieves are hoping to cash in on the artwork, they would be hard-pressed to find a buyer. Selling well-known, stolen art is impossible to do at an auction house or through other public channels without raising eyebrows. Even under the table, the value plummets — and unlike other eye-catching artifacts, such as jewels, paintings can’t be chopped up and sold for parts without losing their entire worth. Art crime experts stress that most buyers simply don’t want the liability.

The push to remove lead pipes is on. Thousands of water systems still don’t know where theirs are
SUMMARY: Thousands of water systems nationwide still have not accounted for potentially dangerous lead pipes supplying homes and businesses with drinking water. The Environmental Protection Agency under President Donald Trump has issued more than 1,000 citations to water utilities, schools and housing developments around the country for failing to submit these lists, which are key to directing where the outdated pipes need to be replaced and calculating how much money that will cost. An Associated Press analysis of government data shows that roughly 6,300 water systems nationwide have yet to submit an inventory.

Coco Gauff rallies to reach the US Open semifinals against new women's No. 1 Elena Rybakina
SUMMARY: Coco Gauff fought off a couple match points in a tiebreaker and beat Mirra Andreeva 2-6, 7-6 (7), 6-2 to set up a U.S. Open semifinal matchup against new No. 1 Elena Rybakina. Gauff overcame a horrible start to give herself a chance at a second U.S. Open title. She won the tournament in 2023, when she had to overcome a similar rough beginning against Aryna Sabalenka in the final. Andreeva, the French Open champion, won the first seven points and took the first set in 26 minutes. Rybakina edged Zheng Qinwen 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, guaranteeing she will become No. 1 in the WTA rankings.
