What to know about 10% reduction in flights at U.S. airports caused by the government shutdown

November 6, 2025

By The Associated Press

Major U.S. airports are among those facing 10% reductions in air traffic Friday due to the government shutdown. A list distributed to airlines and obtained by The Associated Press includes airports in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles among the 40 that will see flights slashed. The Federal Aviation Administration is imposing the reductions to take pressure off air traffic controllers, who are federal employees and have gone without pay during the shutdown. In addition to the reduced flight traffic, the shutdown has led to more flight delays, with experts advising travelers to check flight statuses before heading to the airport, among other tips.

All roads in ancient Rome stretched far longer than previously known, study shows

November 6, 2025

By CHRISTINA LARSON - AP Science Writer

As the saying went, all roads once led to Rome — and scientists now say those roads stretched 50% longer than previously known. A new study combines information from historical records, ancient journals, locations of milestones and other archival data with newly available satellite imagery to map all known roads in the ancient Roman Empire. Researchers say these feats of Roman engineering still shape the geography and economy of the Mediterranean region and beyond. The new dataset and digital map are available online for scholars, history teachers and people with an interest in ancient Roman history. Results were published Thursday in Scientific Data.

November 6, 2025

By STEVE MEGARGEE - AP Sports Writer

Cora Anderson and Madison DeCleene spent their first two years at Division III St. Norbert College believing their academic pursuits would force them to end their athletic careers earlier than they wanted. An NCAA pilot program gives Division III athletes a chance to continue competing for their original school after transferring if their new school doesn’t sponsor varsity athletics. The pilot is tiny, with only three athletes, but it will be studied by the NCAA.

Appeals court gives Trump gets another shot at erasing his hush money conviction

November 6, 2025

By MICHAEL R. SISAK - Associated Press

A federal appeals court have given new life to President Donald Trump’s bid to erase his hush money conviction. A three-judge panel on Thursday ordered a lower court to reconsider its decision to keep the Trump case in state court instead of moving it to federal court. The judges ruled that U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein erred by failing to consider “important issues relevant” to Trump’s request to move the New York case to federal court, where he can seek to have it thrown out on presidential immunity grounds. But the judges said they “express no view” on how Hellerstein should rule.

Climate change boosted Hurricane Melissa’s destructive winds and rain, analysis finds

November 6, 2025

By ISABELLA O'MALLEY - Associated Press

An analysis from World Weather Attribution reports human-caused climate change intensified the winds and rainfall unleashed by Hurricane Melissa in the Caribbean. Melissa, one of the strongest to hit the Atlantic, caused destruction in Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic and Cuba. Dozens of fatalities have been recorded, homes and public infrastructure were damaged and crops were ruined. The analysis reports climate change increased Melissa’s wind speeds by 7% and made the rainfall 16% more intense. Planet-warming gases released by humans, such as carbon dioxide, cause the atmosphere to hold more water vapor and spike ocean temperatures. Warmer oceans give hurricanes fuel to unleash more rain and strengthen quickly.

Leaders of world’s biggest polluters are no-shows as heads of state gather for UN climate summit

November 6, 2025

By ISABEL DEBRE and MAURICIO SAVARESE - Associated Press

World leaders are gathering in a coastal city in the Brazilian Amazon for the U.N.’s annual climate summit. This year’s host has billed the summit as a rare opportunity to turn previous commitments into practical steps toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions, preserving rainforests and making good on pledges to finance clean energy. Brazil’s left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sees this as a chance to cement his image as a champion of climate diplomacy. But the heads of the world’s three biggest polluters — China, the United States and India — will be notably absent from the preliminary leaders’ gathering that kicks off Thursday.

Trump is hosting Central Asian leaders as US seeks to get around China on rare earth metals

November 6, 2025

By AAMER MADHANI - Associated Press

President Donald Trump is set to host leaders of five Central Asian countries for White House talks. Thursday’s summit and dinner with the leaders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan come as he intensifies the hunt for alternatives to China for rare earth metals needed for high-tech devices, including smartphones and electric vehicles. Beijing expanded export restrictions over vital rare earth elements and magnets early last month before announcing it would delay the restrictions for a year. That came after Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held talks last week. Central Asia holds deep reserves of rare earth minerals, but it needs investment to develop the resources.

By LISA MASCARO - AP Congressional Correspondent

Powerful Democratic former speaker Nancy Pelosi won’t seek reelection to the U.S. House. Pelosi’s announcement Thursday brings to a close her storied career as not only the first woman in the speaker’s office but arguably the most powerful in American politics. Pelosi has represented San Francisco for nearly 40 years. Pelosi’s decision comes after she helped lead California’s Prop 50 redistricting effort as the party countered President Donald Trump in this week’s election. It also comes as a seasoned generation of political leaders is stepping aside. Pelosi was an architect of the Affordable Care Act and other landmark policies. She had already relinquished her leadership position three years ago, becoming speaker emerita.

After battering the Philippines, deadly Typhoon Kalmaegi moves toward Vietnam

November 5, 2025

By JIM GOMEZ - Associated Press

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has declared a state of emergency after Typhoon Kalmaegi left at least 114 people dead and more than 100 missing in central provinces. Authorities in Vietnam, meanwhile, braced Thursday as Kalmaegi approached. The typhoon’s onslaught, which affected nearly 2 million people in the Philippines, displaced more than 560,000 villagers, including nearly 450,000 who were evacuated to emergency shelters. Marcos’s emergency declaration, made during a meeting on Thursday with disaster-response officials to assess the typhoon’s aftermath, allows the government to disburse emergency funds faster and prevent food hoarding and overpricing.

Japan deploys the military to counter a surge in bear attacks

November 5, 2025

By MARI YAMAGUCHI - Associated Press

Japan has deployed troops to help contain a surge of bear attacks that have terrorized residents in the northern prefecture of Akita. Bears have been seen near schools, train stations and homes. Over 100 people have been injured and at least 12 killed in bear attacks across Japan since April. The troops will set traps and assist local hunters but won’t use firearms. Akita has been the worst hit, with over 50 attacks since May. Experts say Japan’s aging and declining population in rural areas contributes to the problem, as bears venture closer to residential areas in search of food.

By MATTHEW DALY, JOSH FUNK and RIO YAMAT - Associated Press

The Federal Aviation Administration announced Wednesday that it will reduce air traffic by 10% across 40 “high-volume” markets beginning Friday morning to maintain safety during the ongoing government shutdown. The agency is confronting staffing shortages caused by air traffic controllers, who are working unpaid, with some calling out of work during the shutdown, resulting in delays across the country. FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford says the agency is not going to wait for a problem to act, saying the shutdown is causing staffing pressures and “we can’t ignore it.” Bedford and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy say they will meet later Wednesday with airline leaders to figure out how to safely implement the reduction.

What to know after the Supreme Court arguments over Trump’s tariffs

November 5, 2025

By MARK SHERMAN - Associated Press

The Trump administration got a chilly reception at the Supreme Court, where a majority of the court questioned President Donald Trump’s novel use of an emergency powers law to impose worldwide tariffs. The court, with three justices Trump appointed and generally favorable to muscular presidential power, could find that he exceeded his authority. It’s the first Trump policy that is before the court for a final decision and the stakes are enormous, both politically and financially. The Republican president has made tariffs a central piece of his economic and foreign policy. The justices heard more than 2 1/2 hours of arguments on Wednesday.

The Motion Picture Association is asking Meta to stop referring to content shown to teen accounts on Instagram as guided by PG-13 ratings, saying it is misleading. A lawyer on behalf of the MPA sent Meta Platforms a cease-and-desist letter asking the tech giant to “immediately and permanently disassociate its Teen Accounts and AI tools from the MPA’s rating system.” Meta said that its intent was never to suggest that it partnered with the MPA or that the material on Instagram had been rated by the movie association.

Conservative Supreme Court justices appear skeptical of Trump’s sweeping unilateral tariffs

November 5, 2025

By LINDSAY WHITEHURST - Associated Press

Arguments at the Supreme Court have concluded for the day as the justices consider President Donald Trump’s sweeping unilateral tariffs in a trillion-dollar test of executive power. Conservative justices seemed skeptical of Trump’s tariffs, potentially putting at risk a key part of his agenda in the biggest legal test yet of his unprecedented presidency. Challengers say Trump is illegally using an emergency law to claim nearly limitless tariff power and American small businesses are paying the price. Trump’s administration says the law gives the president the power to regulate importation, including tariffs. The Republican president says a ruling against him in the case before the court on Wednesday would be catastrophic for the economy.

Shout-out for yodeling? Swiss seek recognition from UN cultural agency as tradition turns modern

November 5, 2025

By JAMEY KEATEN - Associated Press

The Swiss government is looking for a shout-out from the U.N. cultural agency to include yodeling on its list of intangible cultural heritage. Promoters insist the yodeling of yore is too stereotyped and the tradition is far more than mountain cries by falsetto-crying male herders in suspenders on verdant Alpine pastures. Yodeling has now become a popular form of singing and more women are taking it up. Yodeling is among dozens of nominees of arts, craftsmanship, rituals, knowledge and tradition being considered at a UNESCO committee meeting on intangible cultural heritage in New Delhi next month.

Trump pressures GOP senators to end the government shutdown, now the longest ever

By LISA MASCARO and MARY CLARE JALONICK - Associated Press

President Donald Trump lashed out at Senate Republicans to end the government shutdown, now the longest ever. He blamed the record-breaking impasse for the party’s defeat in closely-watched elections. He repeated his demands for Republicans to end the Senate filibuster as a way to reopen the government. But Senate GOP leader John Thune says that’s “not happening.” Emboldened by their election wins, Democrats dug in for a fight. Top Democrat Chuck Schumer says the election night results “ought to send a much needed bolt of lightning to Donald Trump that he should meet with us to end this crisis.”

By MAE ANDERSON - AP Business Writer

The UPS cargo plane crash on Tuesday at the company’s global aviation hub in Kentucky, which killed at least nine, will temporarily disrupt the supply chain and result in some shipping delays. But UPS says it has contingency plans in place and experts say the impact should be cleared up before the peak holiday season. The plane crashed about Tuesday evening as it was departing for Honolulu from UPS Worldport, UPS’ largest shipping hub, at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. Package sorting at the center was halted late Tuesday and the halt continued on Wednesday. Consumers who want to check on their UPS packages can wait to hear from the company or look up tracking details online.

There were signs in the AP Voter Poll that there’s plenty of room for Democrats to make up ground among groups that moved toward President Donald Trump in last year’s election. The sweeping survey of more than 17,000 voters in New Jersey, Virginia, California and New York City that explains who voted in each election and their views on the top issues in their state. But even with major wins, the survey also exposed fault lines for Democrats. Young men were less likely than young women to support Democrats in the governor’s races, and Jewish voters in New York City appeared wary of supporting Democratic nominee, Zohran Mamdani.

Trump may become the face of economic discontent, a year after such worries helped him win big

November 5, 2025

By JOSH BOAK and WILL WEISSERT - Associated Press

Voters have sent a message to President Donald Trump that the economy doesn’t feel as though its booming — despite what he says. Democrats romped to victory in Tuesday’s key races, focusing on issues like the cost of living. Democrats won the governorships of New Jersey and Virginia and an important ballot initiative in California. Many voters expressed dissatisfaction with the Republican president’s handling of the economy. Inflation remains a significant issue. The election suggests Trump’s focus on other issues, including immigration and crime, hasn’t resonated with voters. Instead, a year after big wins, Trump and the GOP may find themselves the new face of economic discontent.

Putin tells officials to submit plans for possibly resuming nuclear tests after Trump’s remarks

November 5, 2025

AP

Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered officials to submit proposals for a possible resumption of nuclear tests in response to President Donald Trump’s statements last month that appeared to suggest the U.S. will restart its own atomic tests. Speaking to his Security Council, Putin reaffirmed his earlier statement that Moscow will only restart nuclear tests if the U.S. does so first. But he directed defense and diplomatic officials to clarify Washington’s intentions and work out proposals for resuming nuclear weapons tests. Trump appeared to signal the U.S. will resume testing nuclear weapons, but U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright later said new tests of the U.S. nuclear weapons system ordered by Trump will not include nuclear explosions.
