Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Kristen Wright. A return to any sense of normalcy is going to take a long time for those in the path of Hurricane Milton. NPR's Adrienne Florido reports from Sarasota.
There is a lot of damage across a very wide area, but its severity depends on where you are. We drove into neighborhoods of very sturdy homes that looked to come away pretty unscathed, others where most of the damage came from trees falling onto houses, and then some neighborhoods where heavy winds just tore homes apart. NPR's Adrienne Florido reporting.
TikTok is defending itself after confidential court records about the company were revealed by NPR and Kentucky Public Radio. The material shows how TikTok executives and staff discuss the app's negative effect on young people. NPR's Bobby Allen has more. Kentucky Public Radio and NPR obtained dozens of pages of redacted court records as part of 14 states' child safety lawsuits against TikTok.
The document showed TikTok released some tools to safeguard kids as a way of, quote, improving public trust. One company executive was quoted in redacted documents as saying that TikTok could get such a grip on young people that it could interfere with sleeping, eating, and even looking at someone in the eyes. In response, a TikTok spokesman says the material cherry-picks misleading quotes and takes outdated documents out of context.
In a slide from a TikTok presentation, the company said after viewing about 260 videos, teens can start forming a habit. Bobby Allen, NPR News. Former President Donald Trump campaigned in Detroit yesterday, warning those gathered that the city is a mess. As NPR's Don Gagne reports, Trump's remarks to the prestigious Economic Club of Detroit focused on the auto industry.
Trump said if elected, he would revitalize the U.S. auto industry, which he repeatedly described as on the verge of total collapse.
He attacked electric vehicle mandates and promised more steep tariffs on foreign-based competitors. The speech was low-key, lasting two full hours, and at one point, Trump disparaged his Democratic opponent and his host city. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she's your president. You're
you're going to have a mess on your hands. Mayor Michael Duggan responded on social media stating that crime is down and the population is growing, describing a city on the rebound. All of it done, the mayor said, without Trump's help. Don Gagne, NPR News, Detroit.
