Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. Ukrainian President Zelensky says he's willing to hold elections if President Trump can get Russia to suspend its attacks on Ukraine for 60 days. Terry Sheldt's reports Zelensky also weighed in on Trump's deal to import Russian diesel fuel. Addressing the annual Warsaw Security Forum conference, President Zelensky said while holding elections during a war would require changing Ukrainian law, it would be possible if Russian attacks ceased so that people could safely take part in the process. He's heard here through an interpreter. And it's also impossible now because of our military, more than a million people who
must vote, but how will they vote while being on the frontline? Zelensky also suggested that instead of buying diesel from Russia, the US should buy from Ukraine. He said he'd been given no advance notification of the agreement with the Kremlin that Trump announced Friday. For NPR News, I'm Terry Sheldt's in Warsaw. Israel's Supreme Court is ordering officials to plan for the return of Palestinians to their homes in the occupied West Bank. NPR's Daniel Estren says tens of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced from their communities for more than a year. The Israeli Supreme Court has ordered the Israeli military to specify a timeline for when Palestinian civilians can return to their homes in several West Bank refugee camps. Israel evacuated and largely destroyed those areas during a military operation more than a year and a half ago. Israel said it was countering militant strongholds. It's the largest mass displacement in the West Bank in many decades. Infrastructure still hasn't been rebuilt and families haven't been allowed to return.
And Israeli cabinet minister is calling to ignore the court ruling. Faisal Salama, the Palestinian leader of one displaced refugee camp, called the court ruling useless, as long as the Israeli military continues to occupy the area. Daniel Estren, NPR News, Tel Aviv. Many leaders of Native American tribal nations are raising concerns about the Trump administration's proposal for unprecedented changes to the next U.S. census. It would reshape voting maps and determine how federal funding is distributed across the country. NPR Sancai LaWong has more. One proposed change is not to use the 2030 census to produce statistics about race and ethnicity. The topic has been part of the U.S. headcount since the first one in 1790. Trump officials say they see a quote, reduce need for that information, which is used for redistricting and enforcing civil rights laws. American Bishop of the National Congress of American Indians is an enrolled citizen of the native village of Afognaq in Alaska. There's a significant concern about how federal funding would be distributed through grants
and other programs to tribes if that race, ethnicity, census question is erased. The public can comment on the proposal through November 2nd, Hanse LaWong, NPR News. He was featured as counter-exit trading flat at this hour. He was released to NPR News from Washington. The United States is in the midst of the biggest and deadliest measles epidemic in decades. With cases reported across the country, infectious disease experts say some vaccinated adults should consider getting another measles shot. In Pierce Maria, Gidoy has more. Before vaccines, measles used to kill four to 500 people in the U.S. each year. Two doses of the measles' mumps and rebella vaccine is 97 percent effective. Most people vaccinated before 1989 probably received just one dose instead of the two doses recommended for children today. Dr. Larry Koseolik of Northwestern University says traditionally, one dose has been considered sufficient protection for adults not at high risk.
But he says these days... If you are living in areas with high measles activity, it does make a whole lot of sense for adults to go ahead and get that second dose. If you are not sure of your vaccination history, he says there is no harm in getting an extra dose of the MMR vaccine. Maria Gidoy and P.R. News. Cleanup continues in the southeast after Isaeus came in Florida on Friday. The storm is blamed for at least four deaths. More than 100,000 customers are still without power in Alabama and Florida, but that's down from around 700,000 out over the weekend. Meanwhile the remnants of tropical storm Rachel are still bringing the chance of heavy rain over the southwest today. The National Weather Service has issued flash, flood advisories and watches for parts of several states. I'm Janine Herbst, NPR News in Washington. This message comes from Charles Schwab with their original podcast, Choisology, hosted by Katie Milkman, an award-winning behavioral scientist and author of the best-selling book
How to Change. Choisology is a show about the psychology and economics behind people's decisions.
