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

1:13
impeachment trial against Homeland Security Secretary

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

1:39
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

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

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

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.
