15 分钟Good morning. It's Wednesday, October 22nd.

This is Apple News Today.
On today's show,
Trump's peacekeeping efforts seemingly in limbo revoked rights for Afghans who helped the U.S.
Army and why the rate of childhood peanut allergies might finally be going back down.
But first, to the power struggle over who should lead NASA,
just as its next mission to the moon could be veering off course.
There have been a ton of budget cuts and staff departures and leadership questions,
and so the future of NASA and all that it encompasses has had a ton of uncertainty recently.
That's Emily Glazer, a reporter with The Wall Street Journal.
Right now, she told us there's no permanent head of the country's space agency.
It's being led temporarily by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.
He has no formal science or aerospace background, which is highly unusual for NASA leadership,
but he appears to want the job on a permanent basis and has even suggested folding it into his government department.
Another name that's been floated to lead the space agency is Jared Isaacman,
a man who once seemed perfectly placed and had the backing of President Trump.
He's a billionaire.
He's an entrepreneur.
He's also an astronaut.
