Janine Herbst President Biden this week

0:21

had a tense phone call with

0:24

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu telling

0:26

him that the strike that killed

0:28

seven food aid workers and the

0:31

situation in Gaza are unacceptable and

0:33

Biden urged an immediate ceasefire. And

0:35

here's run. Elvis has more. The

0:38

level of anger and determination here

0:40

has been different for the public

0:42

and for policymakers. The threat to

0:44

change policy has gone from some

0:46

outspoken democrats in the Senate to

0:48

the White House itself. Biden had

0:50

that phone call For what it's

0:52

worth, but Israel's stated intent is

0:54

to destroy Hamas once and for

0:56

all. Urban warfare. With more than

0:58

thirty thousand and so far mostly

1:00

women and children, the Us has

1:02

tried to restrain Netanyahu and his

1:04

government with little to show for

1:06

it. And peers Ron Alvin.

1:09

Meanwhile, Hamas officials arrive tomorrow for

1:11

cease talks as Republicans long awaited

1:13

impeachment trial against Homeland Security Secretary

1:15

L. A Hundred May Orcas is

1:17

set to begin next week when

1:20

Congress returns from an extended recess.

1:22

and here is clouded. Gonzalez reports

1:24

the Senate is preparing to receive

1:26

the articles of impeachment Wednesday Senate

1:28

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he

1:30

expects the trial against Secretary My

1:33

York is to begin Thursday at

1:35

the day after the Chamber's expected.

1:37

To receive the articles of impeachment.

1:39

The move comes after the Republican

1:42

controlled house impeach my Orcas in

1:44

February. However, G O P Speaker

1:46

Mike Johnson delayed the trans middle

1:48

of the articles to the senate

1:51

until after Congress settled budget plans

1:53

for the current fiscal year. While

1:55

Schumer is been tight lipped on

1:58

the next steps, many expect. The

2:00

Republican impeachment effort against My York

2:02

is to die in the Senate

2:04

with a quick trial for the

2:06

Solas Npr News. A new paper

2:08

in the Journal Science warns about

2:10

the dangers of advanced ai tools

2:12

becoming out of. Consumers can stroll

2:15

as if your body. Allen reports

2:17

the group of researchers says ai

2:19

tools with long term planning skills

2:21

shouldn't be publicly. Released the papers led

2:23

by a I researcher Michael Keto in

2:25

at the University of California Berkeley. It

2:28

argues that if sophisticated Ai systems are

2:30

built to maximize reward to no end,

2:32

the tools could eventually take humans out

2:34

of the loop and lead to real

2:37

harm. The beers over something called long

2:39

term planning agents which don't yet exist

2:41

but could eventually complete complicated tasks in

2:43

the real world. The caution echoes a

2:46

similar one made by Geoffrey Hinton known

2:48

as the Godfather of a Ice who

2:50

spoke to Npr to the serious Danger.

2:52

That will get things smarter than

2:54

us. said he soon and these

2:57

things might get bad motors and

2:59

take control. Politicians and industry leaders

3:01

need to take that very seriously

3:03

with our government regulations. The researchers

3:06

say tech companies are making up

the Ai rules as they go

Ukrainian. Officials say a Russian

3:19

missile strike overnight and today as

3:21

hard he left at least eight

3:24

people dead and wounded about a

3:26

dozen others. The attacks damage residential

3:28

buildings, a gas station and other

3:31

businesses. Ukrainian officials say air defense

3:33

forces sat down three cruise missiles

3:35

and twenty eight rounds. Russian officials

3:38

say the attacks target places where

3:40

armored vehicles and drones were produced

3:42

and repaired along with military airfield

3:45

and places Moscow thought foreign mercenaries

3:47

were. Hiding. Many.

People are traveling this weekend to

3:52

get a position for Monday's total

3:54

Solar Eclipse, but clouds click the

3:56

in the local forecast and here's

3:58

nel Brazil voice. has more. Rick

4:01

Feinberg works with the American Astronomical Society.

4:03

He says even if the weather is

4:05

iffy, it's worth getting into the stretch

4:08

of land that will see a total

4:10

solar eclipse. Because people outside it will

4:12

see only a partial eclipse, which isn't

4:14

nearly as dramatic. It's better to

4:16

experience a total solar eclipse under cloudy

4:19

skies than it is to see a

4:21

partial solar eclipse under clear skies. He

4:23

says even if the sun is 99 percent

4:26

covered, the sky doesn't get nearly as

4:28

dark as it does during a total

4:30

eclipse. And in places that

4:32

will see a total eclipse, unless it's

4:35

completely overcast, the clouds might part just

4:37

enough for people to glimpse the sun

4:39

being blotted out by the moon. Nell

4:42

Greenfield-Bois, NPR News. Meanwhile,

4:45

whole-tale prices in small towns and

4:47

big cities along the eclipse path

4:49

have skyrocketed due to high demand.
