Speaker 2 (00:08):
President Trump is back in Washington, d C. After his
nearly week long trip to Asia. The President returns with
what the White House calls a number of wins for
the US. They include trade agreements with South Korea and Japan,
a deal with China to temporarily reduce US tariffs while
a broader trade deal is negotiated, and the signing up
a peace accord between Thailand and Cambodia. Trump did not

(00:30):
get Chinese leader Ji Shinping to promise to stop buying
Russian oil, which only furthers the war in Ukraine. After
its meeting, Trump would only say We're going to work
together on Ukraine. Millions of low income Americans could soon
feel the pain of the government shut down, as the
standoff will continue now until at least Monday. If it
isn't resolved, the food stamp benefit known as staff will

the US. That's unless a federal judge steps in before then.
Democrats say the Trump administration can use contingency funds to
continue the benefits, but the USDA says that's not allowed
by law. The Senate has adjourned for the weekend. At
least fifty people are dead across the Caribbean after a

(01:12):
battering from Hurricane Melissa. The majority of the deaths are
coming from floods in Haiti. Death tolls are expected to

and Cuba. The storm is making its closest approach to
Bermuda overnight, with winds of ninety miles an hour, making
a Category one storm.

Will go down as one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes
in recorded history. At least two people are dead in
New York City, killed in flooded basements triggered by Thursday's reigns.
That includes a thirty eight year old man in Brooklyn
who reportedly ran into his flooded basement apartment to try
and rescue his dogs. He did not make it back out,
it's not clear if the dogs did. And Thursday night

(01:52):

Governor JB.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Pritzker has cited children's safety in his request. Last weekend
ice agency used tear gass in a neighborhood where kids
were preparing for Halloween parade. In rejecting the governor's request,
Nomes said she won't put a pause on any work
that federal agents are doing to keep community safe. She
added the fact that Governor Pritzker is asking for that
is shameful. I'm Mark Mayfield.
