PBS News Hour full episode, Sept. 25, 2025

Correction: In tonight’s late breaking news update, we misstated the date of testimony from former FBI Director James Comey that is the basis of his indictment. The indictment refers to testimony from 2020. We regret the error.

Thursday on the News Hour, the White House threatens mass firings across the government if Congress fails to avoid a shutdown. Finland's president discusses the ongoing war in Ukraine and rising tensions between Russia and NATO. Plus, families of Americans killed and detained in the Israeli-occupied West Bank speak out about escalating violence and lack of accountability.

Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage. We are home to PBS News Hour, ranked the most credible and objective TV news show.
