Trump leads Pentagon ceremony honoring September 11 victims
On Thursday, September 11, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump led a solemn ceremony at the Pentagon to commemorate the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks, which claimed nearly 3,000 lives in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania.
“That terrible morning, 24 years ago, time stood still. Today, as one nation, we renew our sacred vow that we will never forget September 11, 2001,” Trump said in his speech, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
The ceremony began with the laying of floral tributes and the reading of the names of the 125 victims at the Pentagon, as well as the 59 passengers and crew members who perished on the hijacked plane that struck the building. The event also remembered the tragedy at New York’s Twin Towers, which were destroyed the same day by Al Qaeda terrorist attacks.
Trump also took the moment to pay posthumous tribute to conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was killed on Wednesday in an attack in Utah, announcing that he would be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. “We miss him dearly,” the president said.
The president further reflected on the heroic civilian responses across the sites of the attacks, honoring the courage and resilience of Americans on that day.

Israel accepts Trump’s ceasefire proposal, demands Hamas disarmament
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar announced on Tuesday that Israel has accepted U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza, under the conditions that all hostages in the Strip be released and that Hamas lay down its arms.
“The war could end tomorrow,” Saar said during a press conference in Zagreb, adding that Israel is willing to accept “a comprehensive agreement to end the war” encompassing these two demands.
According to Saar, Hamas’s disarmament is “crucial” for Israel and would also “guarantee a better future for Gaza and the Palestinian people.”
The minister was referring to the latest ceasefire proposal from U.S. mediators, which, according to leaks to Israeli media, would involve the release of 48 living and deceased hostages in Gaza on the first day of the ceasefire in exchange for Palestinian prisoners, as well as the start of negotiations to end the war under Trump’s supervision.
In recent days, Hamas, seeking assurances that Israel will halt its offensive, stated that it is “open to any idea or proposal that achieves a comprehensive ceasefire” and a “complete withdrawal” of Israeli forces from Gaza.
Israel, for its part, insists on the release of hostages, the disarmament of Hamas, and that the Islamist group relinquish control of Gaza in order to end the conflict in the enclave, where more than 64,000 people have died under Israeli attacks since October 2023.

La Niña may return in september, but global temperatures expected to stay above average
The La Niña climate phenomenon could reemerge starting in September, but temperatures are expected to remain above average, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), a UN agency, reported.
Since March 2025, neutral conditions—neither indicating an El Niño nor a La Niña event—have persisted, with sea surface temperature anomalies in the equatorial Pacific remaining close to average, according to the WMO.
“However, in the coming months, possibly starting from September 2025, these conditions may gradually evolve to be consistent with a La Niña episode,” the organization stated in its El Niño/La Niña bulletin.
According to the latest forecasts from the WMO’s Global Producing Centres for Seasonal Forecasts, for the period from September to November, there is a 55% chance that equatorial Pacific sea surface temperatures will drop to the threshold for La Niña.
Subsequently, for the period from October to December 2025, the probability of La Niña occurring rises to 60%.
“Nevertheless, despite the temporary cooling effect caused by La Niña, temperatures are expected to remain above average in much of the world,” the WMO added.
From September to November, temperatures are projected to remain above normal across most of the Northern Hemisphere and much of the Southern Hemisphere, the UN agency said.
Rainfall patterns are expected to follow those typically observed during a moderate La Niña event.
A La Niña episode involves large-scale cooling of the central and eastern equatorial Pacific surface waters, as well as other alterations in tropical atmospheric circulation, including changes in winds, pressure, and precipitation, the WMO explained.
Generally, La Niña produces climatic effects opposite to those of El Niño, especially in tropical regions.
