From KCRW in Santa Monica and PRI, Public Radio International, this is To the Point.

Does the president want to kill DACA or not?

Hello again, I'm Arminolini, and this is To the Point.

President Trump has passed the buck to Congress when it comes to DACA,

at least for the next six months, with high stakes for 800,000 dreamers.

If the House and the Senate get bogged down in partisanship,

Also today, North Korea has stepped up its nuclear arsenal

and America's ambassador to the UN

says Kim Jong-un is begging for war. South Korea is reportedly less worried about the North

than it is about tough talk by the U.S. that could produce dangerous miscalculations.

the House has already passed and sent to the Senate, $7.9 billion in aid for Hurricane Harvey.

Meantime, Hurricane Irma is packing 185-mile-an-hour winds, headed directly for Puerto Rico.
