'The Guardian' reports that President Joe Biden
plans to use his executive authority to
create the American Climate Corps.
The New Deal-style program
is meant as a major green
jobs training program.
On September 20, the White House
said that the program would employ
approximately 20,000 young adults.
.
The program is intended to make new trails,
plant trees, install solar panels and otherwise
help boost conservation efforts.
'The Guardian' reports that the program is also
meant to help prevent catastrophic wildfires.
Biden's previous efforts to form a climate corps
have been thwarted by Congress amid strong
opposition from Republicans and funding concerns.
The new program is modeled after Franklin D Roosevelt's
Civilian Conservation Corps, which was
created in the 1930s as part of the New Deal.
Lawmakers who have pushed for the program
to be formed have cited deadly heatwaves,
dangerous floods and devastating wildfires.
'The Guardian' reports that the White House
declined to offer details as to the cost of the
program or where that funding will come from.
White House climate adviser Ali Zaidi said the program would partner with at least six federal agencies and ten states that have already begun similar programs
The United States paused a bomb shipment to Israel over fears of an impending full-scale assault on Gaza's Rafah. With concerns over civilian safety, the decision followed Israel's rejection of a Hamas truce offer. Despite ongoing military engagement, the Biden administration seeks to prevent escalation and review future military aid. The delicate balance highlights U.S. efforts to navigate regional stability and humanitarian concerns.

President Biden urgently cautioned Prime Minister Netanyahu against launching an offensive in Gaza's southern city of Rafah, fearing it would escalate the conflict and increase Palestinian casualties. Their call highlighted the growing divide between the two leaders amid mounting pressure for a ceasefire. Biden emphasised the need to avoid further despair in the war-torn region. Both leaders face public outcry, with Biden encountering protests on college campuses and Netanyahu under pressure from families of Israeli hostages.

This Day in History:, FDR Signs the Beer
and Wine Revenue Act.
March 22, 1933.
After 14 years of Prohibition, the Beer and Wine Revenue
Act finally allowed the sale and government taxation of
alcoholic beverages with no more than 3.2% alcohol.
The act was part of FDR's New Deal,
a series of economic measures intended
to pull America out of The Great Depression.
It was one of his first actions as president.
Its passage signaled the repeal of the
18th Amendment and the Volstead Act,
which prohibited the sale of alcohol in the U.S.
While a victory for the powerful temperance
movement, Prohibition increased illegal trafficking
of alcohol. It had little effect on its consumption.
Later that year in December,
the 21st Amendment was passed,
bringing the era of Prohibition to an end
