Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. President Trump now says Ukraine can win back all territory lost to Russia. That's a dramatic shift from earlier this year when he said Kyiv would have to make concessions to end the war. Trump made the comments on social media after meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres kicked off the General assembly by calling for international cooperation on human rights around the world.

Antonio Guterres
We see countries acting as if the rules don't apply to them. We see humans treated as less than human and we must call it out. Impunity is the mother of chaos, and it has spawned some of the most atrocious conflicts of our times.

Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza is expected to take center stage during the meeting. Global support is growing for a Palestinian state. Trump has said that would reward that would be a reward for Hamas. Although Jimmy Kimmel's late night show was recently reinstated by its broadcaster abc, it will not air on stations owned by either Sinclair Broadcast Group or now Nexstar Media Group.

Nexstar and Sinclair both operate local TV stations around the country, including dozens of ABC affiliates. Both companies pulled the show Jimmy Kimmel Live from their local stations last week under pressure from FCC Chair Brendan Carr. Nexstar needs FCC approval right now to finalize a merger that would make it the largest owner of local stations in the country. In a statement, the company said it needed assurance that Jimmy Kimmel Live will foster what it called respectful, constructive dialogue. It said in the meantime, fans can watch the show on many Disney owned streaming services. Neto Ulaby, NPR News Physician groups are.

The Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine says the studies that have been done to date are simply inconclusive. That was echoed by a statement put out by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. It that the position taken by the administration is not backed by the full body of scientific evidence and noted that one of the largest and best controlled studies found no link between acetaminophen and autism risk. The groups also pointed out that untreated fever in pregnancy can be harmful and can increase the risk of miscarriage, birth defects and premature birth. Nell Greenfield Boyce, NPR News.

The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 88 points today, the 46,292. The NASDAQ closed down 215 points to 22,573. I'm Ryland Barton from NPR News in Washington. Infection rates from drug resistant bacteria are on the rise dramatically. Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say infections from the bacteria rose almost 70% between 2019 and 2020. It's likely many people are unrecognized carriers of the drug resistant bacteria. Researchers say that could lead to community spread. Doctors worry that infections long considered routine and easy to treat, like urinary tract infections, could become chronic problems. Major League Baseball will soon allow players to challenge called balls and strikes. The challenge system has been in testing in the minor leagues for several years now and will make its regular season major league debut next spring. NPR's Becky Sullivan has more.

Each team will receive two challenges to start start the game. If you challenge a call and you are right, you can keep the challenge to use again later. A team's pitcher, catcher or batter must be the one to challenge the call, and they'll do so by tapping the top of their head. Then an automated review system powered by a dozen cameras placed around each ballpark will show on the big screen whether the pitch passed through the strike zone or not. The system has been in testing in the minor leagues for years now. MLB tried it out in spring training and the All Star Game this year. In spring training, there were about four four challenges per game. In all, just over half were successful. Catchers were the best at challenging. Pitchers were the worst. BECKY sullivan, NPR News.
