“I’m honored to nominate former General Lloyd Austin as a 28th Secretary Defense, I want to thank you, General. You're a friend, but I want to thank you General Austin ,for once more stepping forward to serve your nation.”

The Federal Trade Commission and a coalition of states are suing Facebook over allegations that it abused its dominance in social media. More from NPR’s Shannon Bond.

The lawsuit accused Facebook of gobbling up potential rivals to cement its own power. As a result the suit alleged social media users have been deprived of choice and privacy protections. The bipartisan group of attorneys general and the FTC have been investigating Facebook for over a year. They alleged that Facebook’s purchases of Instagram and Whatsapp illegally stifled competition. The lawsuit could result in Facebook being forced to sell parts of its business, regulators and lawmakers are stepping up scrutiny of big tech’s power. In October the US Justice Apartment and 11 states sued Google for anticompetitive behavior. Facebook and Google are NPR financial supporters. Shannon Bond, NPR news.

Officials in a Washington state town that was mostly destroyed by a wild fire are pleading with President Trump to approve disaster aid.
NPR’s Kirk Siegler reports the administration swiftly approved similar requests in Oregon California but not Washington.

85% of homes in the tiny eastern Washington farming town of Malden were destroyed in a wind-driven range fire on Labor Day. And it has been an extraordinary 85days now since state officials first sent a letter to President Trump asking him to approve a routine disaster declaration, there’s been no response, not even a denial ,that means Malden can’t even explore other federal aid options in the meantime. The situation is dire in the mostly conservative farming town where 60% of residents either have no insurance or not enough. In the second letter to the president, Mayor Dan Harwood writes the town prides itself on self-reliance but with the current crisis, alongside the pandemic he worries without federal help the town won’t recover. Kirk Siegler NPR news.

With lawmakers still trying to hammer out a corona virus relief bill and time running out, the House passed a temporary government funding bill, buys one more week. The Trump administration Tuesday offered a 916 billion dollar corona virus relief measure that will send 600 direct payments to most Americans.

On Wall Street the Dow was down 105 points, this is NPR.

Portugal government has announced plans to overhaul its asylum and migration system. Following the death earlier this year of a Ukrainian citizen held in custody at Lisbon airport. As Alison Roberts reports the government says it wants to adopt more humanist and less bureaucratic approach.

The death in March, a 40 year old Ihor Homenyuk who was beaten by immigration officers shocked Portugal. Three officials are being investigated by public prosecutors, now the government says it intends to redefine the responsibilities of all forces dealing with migrants. The director of immigration and borders service handed her resignation Wednesday. There have been controversy over the fact she didn't go earlier and made conflicting reports about what she knew about Homenyuk’s death and when. The stage aimed the reform is to clearly separate policing from administrative procedures of authorizing and documenting migrants as well as treating them more humanly. Still the minister overseeing immigration policy continues to face calls for his own resignation. For NPR news I am Alison Roberts in Lisbon.

Around half of all the Americans surveyed in a recent poll are ready right now to receive a corona virus vaccine. The states begin preparing for inoculations to start in a month ahead. As according to a survey by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affair research, it finds however about a quarter of those polled are not sure and another quarter say they won’t get vaccinated. Survey results come as the Food and Drug Administration is poised to decide whether to allow emergency use of two different vaccine candidates.

Crude oil futures’ prices were little changed today, oil end the session down 8 cents a barrel to settle at 45.52 a barrel on New York Mercantile Exchange.
