AMNA NAWAZ: We start the day's
other news in North Carolina,

00:03.133 --> 00:05.833 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
where Republican lawmakers say
they will vote next week on a

00:05.833 --> 00:09.900 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
new congressional map that
could help them win an
additional seat in Congress.

00:09.900 --> 00:14.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
It's the latest move in
the nationwide battle over
redistricting. Republicans

00:14.066 --> 00:18.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
in Texas and Missouri and
Democrats in California have
all made similar efforts

00:18.866 --> 00:23.866 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
ahead of next year's
midterm elections. North
Carolina last changed
its map in 2023. In 2024,

00:25.833 --> 00:30.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Republicans won 10 out of
14 seats. Before that, the
parties were evenly split.

00:32.400 --> 00:36.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
New Jersey and parts of New York
have declared emergencies as a
powerful offshore storm slams

00:38.333 --> 00:41.633 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
the East Coast. One woman in
New York City was killed when
a solar panel was blown from

00:41.633 --> 00:46.600 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
a rooftop. The nor'easter
storm is churning its way north
after hammering the Carolina

00:48.633 --> 00:51.866 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Outer Banks. Strong winds
and flooding are expected
from Virginia to New Jersey,

00:51.866 --> 00:54.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
where residents are already
reporting high surf.

00:54.633 --> 00:57.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
MAN: Never seen the ocean
like this. It's probably the
craziest I have ever seen.

00:57.766 --> 01:02.733 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
AMNA NAWAZ: Elsewhere, transit
workers in New York City
covered subway vents today

01:04.400 --> 01:06.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
to prevent flooding.
The city's Columbus Day
parade was canceled.

01:06.866 --> 01:10.866 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Meanwhile, in Western
Alaska, dozens have been
rescued after the region was

01:10.866 --> 01:15.266 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
hit hard by the remnants
of Typhoon Halong.
Officials there say three

01:15.266 --> 01:20.233 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
people remain missing after
winds and flooding hit
the remote coastal area.

01:20.233 --> 01:25.233 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
Officials in Mexico say
the death toll from last
week's rains and flooding
has risen to at least

01:27.333 --> 01:30.600 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
64, with dozens people more
missing. Most of the fatalities
were reported in the states of

01:32.900 --> 01:35.866 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
Veracruz, Hidalgo, and
Puebla near the country's
eastern coast. Residents
of affected areas have

01:37.966 --> 01:41.700 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
been cleaning up and assessing
the damage, with thousands still
without power and running water.

01:43.233 --> 01:45.633 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Some areas received more than
20 inches of rain last week,

01:45.633 --> 01:50.600 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
causing flooding and landslides.
Officials are warning that
the death toll could rise.

01:53.000 --> 01:56.100 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
Turning now to Madagascar,
where President Andry
Rajoelina says he had to
flee to a secure location

01:58.333 --> 02:02.833 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
to protect his life.
The 51-year-old made
the announcement in a
speech posted online,

02:05.100 --> 02:08.033 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
though he didn't disclose
his location. The former
French colony of some 31
million people off the

02:10.433 --> 02:13.800 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
coast of Africa has faced
weeks of protests led
by a youth group calling
themselves Gen Z Madagascar.

02:15.833 --> 02:20.066 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The demonstrations began
over water and electricity
outages and quickly

02:20.066 --> 02:24.000 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
grew to include broader
anger at the government.
Then, this weekend,

02:24.000 --> 02:29.000 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
an elite military unit
joined the cause and the
president's office said
a coup was under way.

02:30.900 --> 02:34.733 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Today, protesters in the
capital's main square said
their work is not yet done.

02:37.433 --> 02:39.500 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
STYVE RAZAFINDRAINIBE,
Student Protester (through
translator): It is only the

02:39.500 --> 02:42.133 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
struggle on the ground that
is over, not the struggle
at the negotiating table,

02:42.133 --> 02:47.133 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
and that is where the change of
the system, the desire to change
the system takes on its meaning.

02:47.133 --> 02:49.033 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
AMNA NAWAZ: The situation
on the ground in

02:49.033 --> 02:53.700 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
Madagascar remains fluid
with curfews in place in
the country's major cities.

02:55.833 --> 02:59.233 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Three researchers have won this
year's Nobel economics prize
for their work on the concept

02:59.233 --> 03:04.133 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
of creative destruction.
That's where new innovations
replace older technologies and

03:04.133 --> 03:09.133 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
businesses. Dutch born Joel
Mokyr will receive half
of the $1.2 million prize.

03:10.566 --> 03:13.666 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
Philippe Aghion and Peter
Howitt will split the rest.

03:13.666 --> 03:17.433 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
The Nobel Committee said
the winners helped shed
light on how innovation

03:17.433 --> 03:21.600 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
drives economic growth and human
welfare. The Economics Prize was

03:21.600 --> 03:26.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
established by the Bank
of Sweden in 1968 as a
memorial to Alfred Nobel.

03:28.700 --> 03:32.300 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
And on Wall Street today, stocks
regained their footing after
President Trump tried to ease

03:32.300 --> 03:37.300 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
concerns about his China
tariff threats. The Dow
Jones industrial average
added nearly 600 points.

03:39.366 --> 03:43.633 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
The Nasdaq jumped almost 500
points on the day. The S&P
500 also ended sharply higher.

03:45.700 --> 03:50.433 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
And after 16 years and more
than 1,600 episodes, today, Marc
Maron wrapped his groundbreaking

03:52.566 --> 03:57.533 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
podcast "WTF." The actor
and comedian started the
show in 2009 out of his
California garage. Those

04:00.500 --> 04:05.466 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
humble origins set a
template for a generation
of podcasters that followed,
thanks to freewheeling

04:07.666 --> 04:11.066 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
and honest conversations
with the likes of Robin
Williams, Lorne Michaels,
and Ariana Grande.

04:13.266 --> 04:16.633 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
Former President Barack
Obama became the first
sitting president to
appear on the podcast

04:16.633 --> 04:21.633 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
in 2015, and he returned as
Maron's final guest. Obama
spoke to Maron's popularity.

04:23.300 --> 04:25.166 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
BARACK OBAMA, Former
President of the United
States: And I think that

04:25.166 --> 04:29.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
part of the reason you
had such a big fan base
during the 16-year run is,

04:30.733 --> 04:35.166 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
there was a core decency to you
and the conversations you had.

04:35.166 --> 04:38.533 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
AMNA NAWAZ: Maron and
his longtime producing
partner Brendan McDonald

04:38.533 --> 04:42.233 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
announced they would end
the show earlier this year,
saying they were burnt out,

04:42.233 --> 04:45.600 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
but -- quote -- "utterly
satisfied with the
work we have done."

04:45.600 --> 04:50.600 align:left position:20% line:71% size:70%
In recent years, "WTF"
has consistently been
one of the most streamed
and downloaded podcasts,

04:51.933 --> 04:55.200 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
boasting more than 55
million listens per year.

04:55.200 --> 04:59.266 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
Still to come on the "News
Hour": the state of the
government shutdown now

04:59.266 --> 05:03.500 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
that President Trump has ordered
military members still be paid;

05:03.500 --> 05:08.200 align:left position:20% line:77% size:70%
and Tamara Keith and Amy
Walter break down the
latest political headlines.
