Speaker 1 (00:02):
Then News this Hour Doug Davis coming up. A black
Secretary of State speaks today after leaders of Britain, France,
and Germany met in Geneva with Iranian diplomats to search
for ways to end the war. Also a black political
strategist where he's in on why some of the orders
are still in support of President Trump despite deportation efforts.
But first, here's Bin News Now.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Chicago Alderman Brian Hopkins plans to fight Black Mayor Brandon
Johnson's expected veto of his snap curfew ordinance. The measure
past my city council let's police impost team curfews any time.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I will vietle this ordinance because it is counterproductive to
the progress that we have made in reducing crime and
violence in our city. It would create tensions between residents
and law enforcement at a time when we have worked
so hard to rebuild that trust.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Johnson says it's bad policy that could harm black and
brown youth and a rote community trust. Black mail and
Governor Wes Moore is taking new steps to close the
state's wealth gap. He's prioritizing four hundred million dollars for
underserved communities and adding nearly seven thousand cannabis partons to
help address past injustices, and a state panel has approved
a statue of civil rights activist Barbara Rose Johns for

(01:09):
display in the US Capitol. John's led a nineteen fifty
one student protest against school segregation in Virginia. Her statue
will replace the Roberty Lee statue in National Statuary Hall.
I'm Amber Payton with bi in News. Now back to you,
doug Hey.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Thanks Amber. Today, top military leaders from Britain, France, and
Germany met in Geneva with Iranian diplomats to discuss ways
to end the war between the Middle Eastern country and Israel.
Britain Secretary of State Foreign Affairs David Lammy, who was black,
addressed reporters following the meeting.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
We were clear Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, and
the E three in Europe have been clear for many
years that that cannot happen. We are keen to continue
ongoing discussions and negotiations with Iran, and we urge Iran

(01:59):
to continue their chalks with the United States. This is
a perilous moment and it is hugely important that we
don't see regional escalation of this conflict.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
President Trump recently said he will decide within two weeks
if the US will enter the conflict, as both countries
continue to trade airstrikes. Speaking of the president, in twenty
twenty four, Latino voters in swing states delivered record support
for Trump, and while many Latinos agree that criminal undocumented
immigrants should be deported, they draw the line that's sweeping
efforts to remove people who have lived in the US.

(02:37):
NBC newspoke with Latino members from a twenty twenty four
focus group and found that the majority of them are
still in support of Donald Trump despite all of the
drama around ICE agents supporting undocumented immigrants with no criminal past.
African American Maya Rupert and a political strategist weighs in
on MSNBC it is early.

Speaker 5 (02:55):
Right now to start talking about how much people support
these policies because we haven't seen the impact of it.
There's going to be an impact on the US economy
from these kinds of mass deportations. History shows US mass
deportations do not create more jobs for US born or
for documented immigrants. They do not create higher wages. They
do the opposite. Businesses shutter without undocumented workers. So I

(03:19):
do think anyone hearing that and feeling like Donald Trump
has got some good news, I would caution to remember
that when those impacts start happening, it's going to hit
these same communities, and people are going to be talking
about these issues very differently.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
The majority of Latinos poll revealed that most want deportations
limited to violent criminals and opposed enforcement against non criminal
undocumented immigrants. And finally, it's no secret that cardiovascular disease
hits hardest in black communities. Now the nation's top health
experts have made a clarion call. The American College of
Cardiology is urging doctors to prescribe weight loss drugs like

(03:55):
GLP one earlier in life without forcing patients to make
dietary changes. Next size First. For Black Americans, who often
face systemic barriers to healthcare, this could be a game changer.
GLP one drugs are likely to reduce strokes and heart attacks,
conditions that disproportionately affect Black Americans. Stay informed, stay connected,
