PBS News Hour full episode, Oct. 1, 2025
Correction: In the segment about the government shutdown, we misspoke about plans for the Department of Homeland Security. We should have stated that the agency's contingency plan referenced a small number of furloughs. We regret the error.
Wednesday on the News Hour, congressional leaders and the White House dig in on their demands as the federal government is shut down. Israel intercepts a flotilla full of humanitarian aid and activists that was bound for Gaza at a sensitive time for peace negotiations. Plus, we remember world-renowned primatologist Jane Goodall and how she changed how people see chimpanzees and themselves.
