Broadcasting from the Neural Newscast Newsroom, I'm Andrew Lindbeck. It's October 30, 2025.

On this day in 1938, a radio broadcast had listeners shaking in their boots.

Let's take a look at World News. Leaders struck a one-year trade truce today,

pausing new tariffs, while negotiators map next steps between the U.S. and China.

Minutes before meeting she, the U.S. President warned he might resume nuclear testing, raising

diplomatic tension and proliferation alarms. I'm joined by Sarah Wheaton. President Donald Trump

orders U.S. nuclear weapons testing to resume for the first time in more than 30 years. He

He says the United States must keep pace with China and Russia's rapidly advancing programs.

The move would end a moratorium dating to 1992 and revive full-scale explosive tests in Nevada.

It could strain the global non-proliferation regime and complicate efforts to extend arms control agreements.

Allies and lawmakers are likely to demand briefings on safety, treaty impacts and cost.

Trump says the decision ensures credible deterrence and modern readiness.

Human rights groups warn of mass killings in Sudan's Darfur, echoing atrocities from 20 years ago.

Fighting between the Sudanese armed forces and the rapid support forces intensifies across

West and North Darfur.

Aid agencies report hundreds of civilians killed in recent weeks, with entire neighborhoods

emptied.

Survivors describe executions, looting, and widespread sexual violence.

The RSF, which grew from the Janjweed militias, implicated in the 2003 to 2005 Darfur genocide, faces renewed scrutiny.

The UN says more than 9 million people flee their homes nationwide.

A regional diplomat says the pattern shows systematic targeting of communities.

At least 100 people die in Gaza after Israeli strikes, local health officials say.

The attacks hit multiple areas during what appears to be the deadliest day since this month's truce.

Israel says the ceasefire resumes afterward.

The Israeli military says it targets Hamas infrastructure and fighters.

Gaza's health ministry reports heavy casualties and widespread damage in crowded neighborhoods.

Aid groups warn hospitals face shortages of fuel, medicine, and beds.

Updates from the Halls of Power.

Voters heading to the polls today should double check their polling place, ID rules, and hours

before casting ballots.

Kara Swift reports on this story.

Election Day 2025 arrives nationwide and your vote depends on a few key steps.

First, confirm your polling place through your state or local election website before you

go.

Many states require ID. Bring a government photo ID or acceptable alternative listed by your state.

Check hours. Most polls open by 7 a.m. and close by 7 or 8 p.m. local time.

If you requested a mail ballot, see if you must return it in person today.

Need help? Call your local election office or the nonpartisan election protection hotline at 866-O-U-R-V-O-T.

offering a new route for quantum and cryogenic electronics.

Stories about our planet and its future.

A major climate modeling study warns Antarctic ice shelves could collapse under high-emission

scenarios, raising long-term sea level risks.

I'm joined by Stephen Summers.

Up to 59% of Antarctic ice shelves face collapse by 2300 under high-emission scenarios.

Researchers modeling ocean warming say the losses could drive as much as 10 meters of global

sea level rise.

Ice shelves buttress the continent's vast ice sheets, so their failure speeds glaciers into the sea.

The study finds a sharp difference under stronger climate action.

If warming stays below 2 degrees Celsius, projected losses drop dramatically.

The message is blunt.

Cutting emissions this century helps protect coasts for generations.

This is Stephen Summers for Neural Newscast.

Science Shaping Our Understanding

Scientists say climate change drives about one-third of India's heatwave days in 2024,

intensifying impacts.

A Lancet study finds longer, hotter spells push hospitalizations and heatstroke deaths

higher, especially among outdoor workers and older adults.

Researchers link extreme heat to crop losses, power outages, and reduced labor productivity,

squeezing household incomes.

Cities like Delhi and Ahmedabad log multiple 45 degrees Celsius days in April and May.

The study urges early warning systems, shaded public spaces, and heat action plans to protect

vulnerable communities.

For a worldwide view, we turn to our international team.

Families and campaigners demand the release of a damning report into the murder of Claire Inglis.

Inglis 28 dies in November 2021 in Stirling, weeks after courts bail her partner, Christopher McGowan, to her home.

McGowan later receives a life sentence.

Advocates say the report details bail decisions, risk assessments, and missed safeguards.

They argue publication could drive reforms to domestic abuse protocols and judicial oversight.

The public deserves answers, says campaigner Fiona Dyer.
