Full transcript with timestamps

0:00 Starting tomorrow, the FAA will begin to reduce air traffic by 10% at some of the nation's busiest airports. And former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced she won't seek reelection. Good morning, I'm Corva Coleman from NPR News. And here are today's top stories. Former Speaker of the House and California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi is announcing she won't seek reelection. As NPR's Barbara Sprunt reports, her departure will mark the end of an era in Congress. First elected in 1987, Pelosi would go on to become one of the most effective leaders of the Democratic Party. She cemented her place in the history books in 2007 when she was elected to become the first woman to serve as speaker of the house. She could reliably deliver Democratic votes on must pass legislation when necessary. Although her first speakerhip came at a complicated time with a looming financial crisis, she reclaimed the gavl in 2019. During

0:55 her tenures as speaker, she oversaw the passage of landmark legislation, including the Affordable Care Act and enacted trillions in new spending as part of the American Rescue Plan. Barbara Sprrent, NPR News, Washington. This is day 37 of the federal government shutdown, the longest in US history. It is straining the nation's air traffic system. Tomorrow, the Federal Aviation Administration says it will reduce air traffic by 10%. This move will affect some of the nation's busiest airports to maintain safety during the shutdown.

1:26 NPR's Joel Rose has more. The FAA is planning to reduce air traffic in 40 high volume markets beginning on Friday. FAA administrator Brian Bedford says the agency wants to reduce the pressure at those airports before safety is compromised.

1:40 We're not going to wait until we see something flashing red to say, "Ooh, we should take action now." The FAA has already been delaying flights at some airports because of staffing shortages among air traffic controllers. Those controllers are required to work without pay during the shutdown, but some have taken on second jobs, and many are calling out sick. Bedford and transportation secretary Shawn Duffy say they'll meet with airline leaders to figure out how to implement the reductions fairly before announcing the details. Joel Rose, NPR News, Washington.

2:10 The shutdown is also cutting into federal food assistance. The Trump administration says it will pay out half the amount of people's typically monthly benefit during November, but a new study says most eligible people will likely get less than that and millions of recipients won't get anything at all. The US Supreme Court heard lengthy arguments yesterday about President Trump's tariffs. The president is using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose these, but the law does not explicitly say a thing about tariffs. Amy How of Scotas Blog says some of the court's conservative justices expressed doubt that the president has the power to use the law this way. They certainly did seem to have the vote of Justice Neil Gorsuch who was one of the strongest defenders of the challengers and you know Justice Amy Coney Barrett had some questions that were skeptical. Chief Justice John

3:04 Roberts also had some questions that seemed to be very skeptical. So, it seemed that there was probably a majority to strike down the tariffs.

3:14 She spoke to NPR's Morning Edition. Despite the justice's skepticism, it is not clear what their final decision will be. The decision is expected sometime next year. The Trump administration has held a classified briefing for top congressional leaders. It was about deadly US military strikes on boats in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean. President Trump alleges they're involved in drug trafficking. NPR's Claudia Gascales has more.

3:41 Republicans and Democrats left the classified meeting divided on President Trump's ordered strikes, but agreed the military is relying on strong intelligence targeting drug traffickers. House Speaker Mike Johnson argued the operation has quote saved lives.

3:55 We have a high reliability. These are the cartels. These are the people involved in it. They are doing this deliberately. They are intending to traffic this into the country and it does great harm to the American people.

4:05 But Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, quote, "We need a lot more answers." The meeting follows growing frustrations. The Trump administration has withheld information about the attacks that could lead to war with Venezuela. Claudia Rales, NPR News, the capital.

4:22 Pope Leo is speaking about the treatment of migrants in the US. NPR's Jason D. Rose reports. He says immigration authorities must respect the spiritual rights of those held in detention.

4:33 Pope Leo spoke to a group of reporters just outside Rome and expressed concern about the mass arrests and deportations taking place in the United States under the Trump administration. To underscore his point, Leo referred to a passage from the Gospel of Matthew heard in many Catholic churches recently. Jesus says very clearly at the end of the world we're going to be asked you know how did you receive the foreigner? Did you receive him and welcome him or not?

5:00 The pope was specifically responding to immigration authorities not allowing migrants arrested in Chicago to receive holy communion. Jason D. Rose NPR News.

5:11 The president of the Philippines has declared a state of emergency after a powerful typhoon ravaged the country's central provinces. NPR's Anthony Cune reports. The storm killed at least 114 people and left around 100 others missing.

5:25 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s declaration of emergency is intended to speed up relief efforts, dispersement of government funds, and allow price controls on basic goods. Typhoon Calmegi dumped a month and a half's rainfall on Sabo City in one day, causing severe flooding. More than 2 million people were affected and more than half a million residents were displaced. The dead include six people killed when an Air Force helicopter on a relief mission crashed on the island of Mindanao. Even as authorities grapple with the effects of Typhoon Calmegi, they're preparing for the arrival of another powerful typhoon in the country's north early next week. Anthony Cune in PR News Seoul. French auditors are calling on the Louv Museum in Paris to speed up their security modifications. This comes after burglars stole millions of dollars in historical jewels in a brazen daytime robbery. The French officials say the

6:19 museum began a security audit years ago, but the recommended upgrades to the Louv Museum will not be finished until 2032. The Malds says it is now the first country to ban smoking for an entire generation of people. The South Asian island country's new law says that anyone born in 2007 or later, that's about 18 years old, cannot buy or use tobacco products in the Maldes ever. They will never be legally permitted to smoke there, even when they get older. This law also applies to tourists. I'm Corva Coleman NPR News in
