Live from NPR, I'm Lakshmi Singh. The Trump administration's rescinding [撤回] a nearly 17-year-old landmark [意义重大的] ruling that classified [分类] greenhouse gases [温室气体] as a danger to public health. The endangerment [产生危险] finding has been the basis for many of the key policies limiting greenhouse gas emissions [排放] from major polluters such as vehicles and power plants. President Trump hails [赞扬] it as the single largest deregulatory [解除监管] action in U.S. history.
The administration says it is planning to wind down [降低，减少] its federal immigration enforcement surge [骤升] in Minnesota over the next week. Minnesota Public Radio's Brian Baxt reports Governor Tim Walz wants the federal government to pay for damages in the Twin Cities. He said you don't get to break things and just leave. He's talking about the business hardships [困难] that have stacked up [累积] where some businesses closed, employees didn't show up. There were schools that saw reduced aid [扶助] because students didn't want to go to class. So those are the types of things that that he will be asking the federal government for and he'll be asking state legislators [立法者] to consider that when they're back in session next week. Brian Baxt on NPR's Here and Now.
Top immigration officials testify [作证] before a Senate committee over immigration enforcement tactics [方法，策略] that have come under scrutiny [被批评]. NPR's Barbara Sprunt reports Chairman Rand Paul, a Republican, played a video showing the events leading up to the second of two fatal [致命的] shootings in Minneapolis. Officials from ICE and Customs and Border Protection said the investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti is ongoing. Paul paused the video at moments saying he didn't see Preddy acting aggressively [激进的] towards officers. I see nothing here. I mean, not even a hint [一丁点] of something that was aggressive on his part. Everything was retreat [撤退]. Almost immediately after Pretti was killed, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said he committed an act of domestic terrorism [国内恐怖主义]. CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott told the committee he never described Pretti in those terms to Noem, nor was he aware of anyone in his agency doing so. Barbara Sprunt, Washington.
President Trump and visiting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel met today and talked about the chances of securing a nuclear deal [核协议] with Iran. NPR's Daniel Estrin has this from Tel Aviv. Netanyahu told reporters that Trump believes the conditions he's creating now can lead to a deal with Iran. Netanyahu said, quote, I will not hide from you that I expressed general skepticism [怀疑] regarding the nature of any agreement with Iran. He said any nuclear deal with Iran must also take into account Iran's ballistic missiles [弹道导弹] and proxies [代理人] that threaten Israel. Next week, Trump will convene [召集] his Board of Peace in Washington. A U.S. official tells NPR on condition [以...为条件] of anonymity [匿名] that Trump is expected to announce an international stabilization force with thousands of troops from several countries to deploy in Gaza, along with raising billions of dollars for reconstruction. Daniel Estrin, Tel Aviv.
Tech stocks tumble [暴跌] today, pulling down the broader market. NPR Scott Horsley reports investors are watching for an update tomorrow on inflation [通货膨胀指数]. The Labor Department is set to report Friday on the cost of living for January. Forecasters expect the report to show prices rose about 2.5 percent over the last 12 months. That would be a slightly smaller annual increase than we saw in December. Inflation is still above the Federal Reserve's [美联储] target [目标], though, and investors think the central bank will hold interest rates steady [维持利率不变] next month. Many cost-conscious [对花销敏感的] shoppers are looking for bargains [便宜货]. McDonald's credited [归功于] the McValue menu with helping to boost sales to fast food chain during its most recent quarter. Scott Horsley, Washington.
As fans around the globe tune into [调台收看] the Winter Olympics [冬奥会], athletes regularly push their bodies to the limit, including pushing through pain. As NPR's Alison Aubrey reports, for most people, staying healthy and active requires a different set of rules. Olympic athletes can gain hero status when they push themselves to the edge [边缘], but when it comes to strength training for the rest of us, acute [急性的] pain can be assigned [被给予] to back off [退缩] and modify, says Dr. Andrew Mock, a family physician who focuses on prevention and lifestyle medicine. There's a big difference between soreness [酸痛] and pain. Soreness is normal. When you start an activity or especially when you're increasing it. Mild temporary muscle soreness [肌肉酸痛] after exercise is normal and indicates muscle fibers [肌肉纤维] are repairing and strengthening, but severe pain lasting several days is a sign you may be overtraining [压力过度]. Consistency [持之以恒] can bring incremental [循序渐进的] progress and long-term benefits. Alison Aubrey reporting.
