Presentado por me Mariel Segarra, live from NPR News. I'm Lakshmi Singh. Days into the new school year, another mass shooting, this time at Minneapolis's Annunciation Church. Authorities say a shooter fired on Catholic school students and teachers as they were praying during morning Mass. He later turned the gun on himself. Now authorities say at least two children are dead and 17 people, most of them children, are injured. Minnesota Public Radio's John Collins describes the church as the center of the neighborhood.

People in this neighborhood say, you know, upper middle class neighborhood in southwest part of Minneapolis. And, you know, it's relatively quiet. Crime rates are very low. So Annunciation Church was kind of a monument in this neighborhood. It was a location where festivals happened, where the Boy Scouts met, that sort of thing. So seeing this happen so close to home, I think, of course, has been really shocking.

The de minimis rule lets people skip import taxes for small stuff. But after the US raised its limit to $800, that small stuff became big business. Here's Courtney Griffin of the Consumer Federation of America.

Griffin says that number includes unsafe products that aren't closely inspected. Critics say it also hurts US Companies. President Trump is ending no minimus for US Imports starting this Friday. As a result, many postal and shipping services from Europe to Asia are halting deliveries to the U.S. they say they need to figure out the new customs process, from payments to paperwork.

This is npr. Washington holds talks with Israeli officials today on post war Gaza even though there's been little movement on securing an Israel Hamas ceasefire. Israel is continuing to bombard parts of Gaza as anger mounts over strikes on a hospital earlier this week that claimed more than 20 lives. Victims included medics and journalists for major news organizations. And Israel people staged more protests this week to pressure the government to agree to a ceasefire and get all remaining hostages held in Gaza home.

Chikungunya disease is very rare in the US but causes severe joint pain in hundreds of thousands of people worldwide worldwide each year. In 2023, the FDA approved vaccine called Icchick, manufactured by Valneva. In the US it's given mostly to travelers. In May, FDA and the European Union equivalent recommended a pause in the use of the vaccine in older adults after reports of the vaccine causing symptoms of the disease itself. Both agencies reversed the pause in early August, but last week the FDA pulled the vaccine's license. In response, Valneva said the adverse events are in line with what was reported before approval.
