  Good morning. It's Wednesday, July 9th.

  This is Apple News Today.

  On today's show, Russia's big anti-woke pitch for Westerners to emigrate,

• 00:17

  an in-depth look into the snap cuts and what they mean for food banks,

• 00:21

  and an end to one of the most hated airport travel rules.

• 00:33

  But first, let's talk about the state of tariffs,

• 00:37

  and President Trump's escalating series of threats

• 00:39

  as he vowed to drive through an aggressive regime in the coming days.

• 00:44

  Among his threats on Tuesday was a 50% rate on inbound copper products and an undefined amount for pharmaceuticals,

• 00:50

  semiconductor chips, and specific levies for some of the so-called brick countries.

• 00:55

  Today was meant to be the day a broad range of tariffs came into effect.

• 00:59

  He gave countries a 90-day window back in April to reach deals.

• 01:03

  But, as we've seen before, it was the deadline that wasn't.

• 01:06

  And Trump has now extended it to August 1st.

• 01:09

  Speaking on Tuesday, Trump denied ever putting forward the 90-day deadline in the first place,

• 01:14

  despite writing it on a social media post.

• 01:16

  It wasn't a change.

• 01:17

  It was August 1st.

• 01:19

  We don't change very much.
