Best Poverty Ever!: Trump Mocks American Pain Amid Iran Oil Crisis; New Hormuz Update | Watch
Donald Trump raised eyebrows after boasting that the United States has the best poverty numbers ever even as Americans continue to face pressure from the Iran war and disruption around the Strait of Hormuz. Official Census data show the U.S. poverty rate did fall to a record-low 10.2% in 2025, with 34.5 million people still living below the official poverty line.

Trump says he's 'very seriously' looking at a diesel export ban
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said he is still looking very seriously at implementing a US ban on diesel exports to combat high prices, even as others in his administration continue to focus on other possible steps.

Several farm-state lawmakers have urged Trump to limit US diesel exports during the peak of the fall harvest season, as global fuel markets reel from the disruption to flows in the critical Strait of Hormuz and Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries. The US has emerged as the supplier of last resort to the world, with diesel exports surging to a weekly record near 2 million barrels a day last month. National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer have been analyzing the ramifications of a potential short-term ban on US diesel exports over the last week, underscoring the seriousness of the administrations consideration of the idea. Oil CEOs and industry groups have pushed instead for suspending the federal diesel excise tax, saying it would ease prices without the drawbacks of an export ban. But thats been met with internal debate about how to waive the tax especially with the House of Representatives in a pre-election recess. Diesel powers farm equipment, freight trains, trucks and delivery vans. US retail prices hit a record last week and are averaging about $6.50 a gallon, adding to voter anxiety over living costs before Novembers midterm elections. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said last week that the administration is working with refiners on voluntary export curbs as an alternative to a government-imposed ban. Some companies are already adding contractual protections in the event a pause on diesel shipments overseas prevents deliveries to foreign buyers, people with knowledge of the situation told Bloomberg News Friday. In the event of a ban, US diesel prices would be widely expected to plummet, at least in the short run. A halt would leave Americas allies, including Brazil and the UK, urgently needing to secure fuel.

Two giant pandas sent by China arrive in Atlanta on 10-year loan
A panda at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, where the pair sent to Atlanta departed from (Hector RETAMAL) Two giant pandas sent by China arrived in the United States on Sunday, Beijing and the Atlanta zoo said, after a leaders' summit that was heavy on symbolism and light on major breakthroughs. The bears' transfer had already been agreed but the departure was announced Thursday during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Washington. The black-and-white mammals are immensely popular around the world, and China loans them out as part of a panda diplomacy program to foster foreign ties. A male named Ping Ping and female Fu Shuang departed from Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport on a chartered flight at around 3:00 am (1900 GMT Saturday), Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported. After a 16-hour flight that crossed the international date line, the bears touched down in the southern US city of Atlanta, Georgia shortly before 7:00 am local time. Steamed corn buns, bamboo shoots and carrots were prepared to keep the pandas nourished during their flight, Chinese state-run Global Times reported. The Boeing 777 operated by FedEx -- and nicknamed the FedEx Panda Express -- was the top-tracked aircraft on aviation information platform FlightRadar24 as it neared Alaska, roughly halfway into its journey. The pandas will be hosted for the next 10 years by Zoo Atlanta, which said Sunday it was elated to welcome Ping Ping and Fu Shuang to the city. This is a thrilling day for Zoo Atlanta and a historic moment for the City of Atlanta, the state of Georgia, and beyond, zoo president Raymond King said in a statement. A farewell ceremony was held for the pair by the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding before their departure. Experienced keepers were dispatched by the US side to accompany the duo on their flight, the Global Times reported. In preparation for their arrival, Zoo Atlanta has renovated its panda facilities and assembled a team of animal caretakers. It has also ensured a stable and long-term supply of bamboo, grown locally in Atlanta, which has a climate that is very similar to Chengdu. The bears are not yet visible to the public, and will be housed in a biosecure area of the animal park for a routine quarantine of around a month, the zoo stated. Atlanta previously hosted pandas on loan from China starting in 1999, and seven panda cubs have been born at the zoo. All are now back in Chengdu, and Zoo Atlanta has not had any pandas since 2024. Both of the new arrivals were born in 2020. Ping Ping is now six years old while Fu Shuang turns six in October. Pandas in captivity typically live for around 30 years. Beijing has sent the furry creatures across the globe for decades as soft-power ambassadors. In 1972, China gifted a pair of pandas to Washington, following US president Richard Nixon's historic visit to the Communist nation. Beijing recalled two of its pandas from Japan early this year, following a diplomatic spat that began when Japan's prime minister hinted that Tokyo could intervene militarily in the event of any attack on Taiwan. tc-pfc/ami/mlm/ksb This article originally appeared on AFP at https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/two-giant-pandas-sent-china-111607831.html

Pope Leo visits Lourdes and criticizes legalization of assisted dying as 'false compassion'
Pope Leo XIV criticized the legalization of medically assisted dying , calling it immoral and an example of false compassion during a visit on Sunday to Lourdes, the Catholic shrine in France associated with miraculous cures of the sick. It is precisely in the name of this inalienable dignity of the human person that we must reject the temptation to cause death under the guise of false compassion, said Leo, prompting applause from the crowd gathered to see him. What is legal is not necessarily moral. On his third day in France, Leo again waded into the end-of-life debate that has erupted in countries around the world. It roiled French politics for years before resulting recently in legislation allowing adults with incurable illnesses to receive lethal medication. Leo's visit to the once staunchly Catholic and officially secular France has been marked by huge crowds 800,000 at Leo's Mass on Paris' iconic Place de la Concorde and his messaging against abortion and assisted dying. Many who attended the pope's Mass on Sunday were in wheelchairs, and he later visited a care center for sick people on Lourdes' grounds. He sought to encourage those who live in terrible pain that they have inherent dignity that no law or algorithm can eliminate. Lourdes became a major pilgrimage destination after the Catholic Church officially recognized visions of the Virgin Mary reported here by a young girl in 1858. The site near the Spanish border draws millions of pilgrims each year, especially sick and disabled believers hoping for a cure from the famed spring water in the Lourdes grotto where the visions purportedly occurred. Since arriving in France, Leo has repeatedly called for a renewed respect for life in keeping with Catholic teaching that all human life must be protected and defended from conception until natural death. The teaching translates into firm opposition to abortion, euthanasia and medically assisted dying. In Lourdes, where the church has recognized 72 miraculous cures as authentic, the question of respecting even the most frail, sick and vulnerable is particularly acute. Your crutches, your wheelchairs and your hidden tears are not obstacles; instead, they are the very place where you are fully respected and welcomed, Leo said in his homily. Lourdes is blessed as a place for professing the beauty and sanctity of life, for life is welcomed here as a precious gift from God. Leo meets with clergy abuse survivors More recently, Lourdes has also become a place of healing for survivors of clergy sexual abuse. Leo met with seven survivors on Sunday, including one who was abused as an adult, in recognition of the new frontier of the abuse crisis facing the church. Survivors described the pope as sincere despite some differences of opinion following the two-hour meeting. There was something sincere with him. Every word was chosen; every word had a meaning. There were many emotions, Jrme Guillement said. Guillement told a local French TV station that they talked about abuse prevention at all levels. There are different opinions, but from his point of view, there is a systemic dimension that still exists, he said. Olivier Mardi said the pope understands that he must work with victims. He reacted well to our very concrete proposals ... He said that we must reopen hope, and it takes seriousness to seize it, Mardi told France's LCI news channel. The French church has endured a brutal reckoning with its legacy of abuse. An independent report in 2021 estimated 330,000 children had been abused over 70 years by some 3,000 priests and church workers. Despite criticism of the report's methodology and conclusions, French bishops put in place an independent system of compensation for victims that to date has recommended the church pay out more than 20 million euros, or $22.7 million. During a meeting with French bishops on Sunday morning, Leo praised their response to victims and urged them to continue. But he also acknowledged that the cratering in priestly vocations in the French church is related to the scandal, given the priesthood is now sometimes viewed with suspicion. For priestly vocations to flourish, the priest must be welcomed, accepted, and loved, Leo said. On the day Leo arrived in Paris, a group of victims wrote an open letter asking him to acknowledge the church's responsibility in the scandal, highlighting what critics see as the conflict of interest of bishops being asked to be both spiritual fathers to their priests and judges when they abuse. The Church must relinquish its position as both judge and party to the proceedings, the victims wrote in the letter published by French newspaper Liberation. The victims also complained that only seven of them would meet with Leo, chosen by the church. Monsignor Pierre-Antoine Bozo, spokesperson for the bishops' conference, said Leo intentionally wanted to keep the group small to facilitate an intimate encounter. When it comes to listening to them, you can't have 50 people in front of you, he said. So I think that's really what the pope chose: to listen so that we can act and respond more effectively. In Lourdes, Leo was also reminded of a prickly abuse case inherited from Pope Francis. The faade of one of the Lourdes basilicas was designed by the Rev. Marko Rupnik, a religious mosaic artist. Rupnik is currently on trial in a Vatican court, accused by more than two dozen women of having psychologically, spiritually and sexually abused them starting in the 1990s, including during the creation of his artworks. His case was covered up for three decades by his Jesuit superiors, and even Francis was suspected of having protected his fellow Jesuit. In response to a media outcry, Francis ordered a canonical trial in 2024, which is ongoing. In a letter to Leo ahead of his trip, five women who say they were abused by Rupnik praised Micas' decision to cover the mosaics. But they criticized the Vatican's handling of their case and the three decades it has taken for them to be heard. This prolonged and loud silence has been experienced by us, the victims, as a further, continuous violence, they wrote.

Left parties, Congress condemn alleged BJP obstruction to ex-CM Manik Sarkar's programme in Tripura
Digital Desk | Agartala, Sep 28 (IANS) The Opposition Congress, the CPI-M, CPI and other Left parties have condemned the alleged attempt by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) supporters to obstruct the vehicle of former Chief Minister and veteran Left leader Manik Sarkar when he arrived at Kalibazar in West Tripura to inaugurate the DYFI Mohanpur subdivision conference. In a statement on Sunday, the CPI-M state secretariat alleged that a group of BJP supporters gathered near the entrance of the party office at Kalibazar in Bamutia before Sarkar arrived around noon. As soon as Manik Sarkar's vehicle reached the spot, the BJP workers tried in various ways to create obstruction, the CPI-M alleged. The Left party said that youth volunteers confronted the alleged troublemakers and ensured that Sarkar's vehicle could enter the CPI-M office. Sarkar subsequently inaugurated the DYFI conference by addressing the gathering and later left the venue, while the youth leaders and delegates continued with the programme peacefully, the CPI (M) said. Sarkar was the Chief Minister of Tripura for 20 years between 1998 and 2018. The CPI-M state secretariat strongly condemned what it described as the undemocratic behaviour of the BJP and demanded appropriate action against those allegedly involved in the incident. The party alleged that the incident reflected what it called the authoritarian intolerance of the BJP towards political activities of opposition parties. According to the CPI-M, the alleged obstruction was an attempt to disrupt a political programme of a senior Opposition leader. The party also alleged that the BJP was trying to suppress the voice of opposition parties. The CPI-M appealed to people who believe in democratic values to protest against what it termed the undemocratic activities of the BJP. The BJP supporters also waved black flags at Sarkar. Leader of Opposition (LoP) and CPI-M state Secretary Jitendra Choudhry, state unit of the CPI and senior Congress leader Sudip Roy Barman separately condemened the incident. It was a purposeful attempt to prevent the former Chief Minister from attending a party programme. The BJP leaders who had stopped him and staged protests will not be able to hide once the people hit the streets, the LoP told the media. A jungle raj has been prevailing in the state under the governance of the BJP. There is no law and order in the state, Roy Barman, a former Minister told the media. A police official said that a strong contingent of police and CRPF personnel led by Mohanpur Sub Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Asish Das Gupta reached the spot after being alerted and escorted Sarkar safely to the local CPI-M office.

Trump says U.S.-Iran talks will continue this week despite rejecting latest offer
U.S. and Iranian officials said Sunday they still see a chance of a negotiated solution to the Iran war despite President Donald Trumps rejection of Tehrans latest offer. Trump told Axios on Sunday that he expected U.S. negotiators to continue indirect talks with Iran this week. Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post. But hostile rhetoric on both sides underscored the difficulty of any diplomatic efforts. We are fully prepared for the war to be resumed. We stand firm in the face of any new aggression, even if it comes to a doomsday war, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told NBC News on Sunday. At the same time, he said, we stand ready for diplomacy. It is up to President Trump to choose. If they are serious that they want a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, now there is the possibility, Araghchi said. On Saturday, Trump said he had rejected Irans latest proposal to end the war. They want to make a deal where they open the strait immediately because theyre losing so badly, Trump told reporters. But Axios reported that Trump had confirmed during a Sunday phone interview that there were plans for indirect talks. I expect more talks with Iran [this week]. They want to make a deal, but it is not the deal that I want to make. It is what we would have maybe agreed to a year ago. They overplayed their hand, Trump said, according to Axios. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz told NBC Newss Meet the Press that the recent Iranian proposal was a cynical attempt to put something on the table that they knew was unacceptable. The proposal included demands that the United States lift sanctions on Iran, release frozen assets and end the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports, he said. At the end of the day, of course, this has to end in some type of arrangement. But hes going to leave all options on the table to get there, Waltz told NBC News. Araghchi had said Tehrans offer was similar to the memorandum of understanding both sides reached in June. Both Araghchi and Waltz accused the others country of engaging in negotiations only to violate their terms. Again they offered negotiation, again we accepted, and again they attacked us in the middle of negotiations. But I am still trying diplomacy because I think we shouldnt miss any chance for peace, Araghchi said. Waltz told NBC News it was common sense that the president did not have much confidence in Irans offer after the country violated the memorandum of understanding brokered in June. Negotiations between Iran and the U.S., both directly and indirectly, to end the war have been on and off since a few weeks after it began on Feb. 28. In June, both countries reached an initial truce, signing a memorandum of understanding that included a two-month timeline to hammer out terms for lasting peace, including tackling differences over Irans nuclear program, sanctions and control over the Strait of Hormuz. The ceasefire quickly unraveled, and the 60-day deadline passed last month with no breakthroughs. Iranian officials pursued a flurry of diplomatic meetings in New York last week during the U.N. General Assembly. Trump administration officials held talks with the Iranian delegation through mediators, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said in an X post. Trump had told the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday that Iran could make a deal to end the war or face annihilation. The Iranian delegation walked out of the chamber. The following day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told the U.N. that Iran was ready for dialogue and diplomacy and negotiations without accepting the language of force.

Arunachal Governor calls for GIS, AI-based solutions to promote smart, sustainable tourism
Digital Desk | Itanagar, Sep 27 (IANS) Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen K.T. Parnaik (Retd) on Sunday called for developing a comprehensive tourism GIS platform and using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for visitor forecasting, multilingual assistance, personalised itineraries, feedback analysis and destination management to make the state a smart and sustainable mountain tourism destination. The Governor on Sunday participated in the World Tourism Day celebration at Itanagar and conferred the annual state tourism awards on the occasion. Addressing the function, he said that tourism reflects the personality of a state and is far more than an economic activity. It creates livelihoods, empowers local communities, preserves cultural heritage and strengthens national integration. Highlighting the Unique Selling Propositions (USP) of Arunachal Pradesh Tourism, the Governor said that the state possesses all the ingredients to become a leading destination for responsible and experiential tourism. The states greatest strengths are its pristine natural environment, rich biodiversity, living tribal heritage, vibrant festivals, spiritual traditions and breathtaking landscapes, he said. Lt Gen Parnaik (Retd) emphasised that Arunachal Pradesh must promote a diverse range of tourism, including eco-tourism, cultural tourism, adventure tourism, spiritual tourism, rural and homestay tourism, agro-tourism, wildlife tourism, wellness tourism, border tourism and festival tourism. The state's unique advantage lies in offering all these experiences within one destination. The Governor said that the tourism vision must go beyond a few popular destinations and include every district, valley and community as stakeholders in the tourism economy. He advocated integrated tourism circuits combining all essential dimensions, including eco, cultural, adventure and heritage, to encourage longer stays and wider distribution of tourism benefits. Emphasising community participation, the Governor said that every suitable tourism village should have quality homestays where visitors can experience local cuisine, agriculture, crafts, folklore and traditional lifestyles. Universities and colleges should support tourism through research, documentation of oral traditions, biodiversity studies and visitor-behaviour analysis. He stressed scientific visitor management through carrying-capacity studies, advance booking systems, seasonal distribution and promotion of lesser-known destinations. The Governor said that the heart of Arunachal tourism is its people and their participation. Youth can become trained guides and entrepreneurs, while women can lead homestays, food enterprises and craft-based tourism initiatives. He also called for an annual festival calendar, authentic cultural presentations and a distinctive Arunachal Model of Tourism based on community participation and personalised visitor experiences. Emphasising the need to strengthen tourism infrastructure and services, the Governor called for quality hospitality at destinations and along travel routes, affordable transportation, reliable information systems, professional tour operators and skilled manpower. He urged all stakeholders to work together to ensure quality, efficiency and sustainable growth of tourism in the State. As part of the World Tourism Day celebration, the state Tourism Department organised various competitions, which enhance tourism activities. The Department of Tourism, the nodal department for the Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat (EBSB) initiative in Arunachal Pradesh, introduced the participants of the EBSB programme and the Dekho Apna Pradesh tour. Participants from Arunachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Meghalaya, states paired under the EBSB initiative, showcased the spirit of national integration through a joint cultural presentation highlighting the diversity and unity of India's cultural heritage.
