US-Iran Talks, Texas ICE Shooting Trial, China AI Race

The Up First podcast presents several developing news stories. Talks between the U.S. and Iran in Geneva focus on Iran's nuclear program, with the U.S. seeking further concessions. Tensions remain high as the U.S. maintains a military presence in the region. Additionally, nine individuals are on trial in Texas, accused of terrorism-related charges stemming from a protest outside an ICE detention center. The podcast questions whether the charges are an overreach, potentially impacting the prosecution of left-wing movements. Finally, the podcast explores China's advancements in AI technology despite U.S. chip export restrictions, noting China's focus on broad adoption rather than leading innovation. The death of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson is also noted.
