Chapter 1: What are the latest U.S. job statistics and their implications?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. The government says employers added 130,000 jobs to the U.S. economy last month. The labor report was stronger than expected. The unemployment rate dipped one-tenth of one percent to 4.3 percent. President Trump welcomes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House today. They're expected to discuss Iran.
NPR's Franco Ortonia reports this comes after Trump declared very good talks were happening with Iran about its nuclear program.
President Trump has repeatedly swung from threatening strikes to making a deal.
Thank you.
Matthew Kroenig, who worked on the Iranian file at the Pentagon, says Netanyahu would prefer strikes, but also wants to do what he can to influence any potential agreement.
President Trump is known for being unpredictable. He is known for liking deals, for being a peacemaker. And I think Netanyahu is worried that maybe in that rush for a deal that the president will agree to terms that harm Israel's security.
Trump has made clear that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

But Netanyahu wants any deal to also include limits on ballistic missiles and ending support for militant proxy groups. Franco Ordonez, NPR News.
It is possible the Trump administration could be getting closer to winding down its immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota. The state's governor is predicting a major pullout of federal agents within days. Minnesota Public Radio's Brian Baxter reports.
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says he's had new conversations with White House Border Czar Tom Homan and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles about bringing the multi-month operation to a close.
I'm going to remain hopeful at this moment, trusting but verifying. Every indication I have is that this thing is winding up on the front end. But I want to assure all Minnesotans, I want to assure the business owners, we don't see this as the end. Our work just starts now.
Last week, the Trump administration announced 700 agents were pulled out. That's out of a peak of as many as 3,000 agents in Minnesota. Homan has said more reductions would come if local jailers cooperate more in transferring immigrants to ICE custody. For NPR News, I'm Brian Baxton, St. Paul.

Chapter 3: How is the Trump administration changing immigration enforcement in Minnesota?
Authorities in Western Canada say a shooter killed nine people yesterday in two locations in a rural area of northern British Columbia. Two people were discovered dead in a home. Superintendent Ken Floyd is with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He says seven other people were killed after the shooter opened fire in a school.
As part of the initial response, officers entered the school to locate the source of the threat. During their search, police located multiple victims. The individual believed to be the shooter was also found deceased from what appears to be a self-inflicted injury.
The shooter was found to be female. Canadian authorities are investigating any possible link between the shooter and the victims. You're listening to NPR. Officials in southern Arizona say they've detained a person and questioned them about the missing mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie, Nancy Guthrie. But reports say the detained person has now been released.
NPR has not confirmed the reports. The Trump administration says it will end the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to regulate climate-warming greenhouse gases. NPR's Jeff Brady reports that this week, the administration plans to rescind a 2009 decision called the endangerment finding.
Chapter 4: What were the details of the tragic shooting in British Columbia?
During the Obama administration, the EPA found that greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels warm the climate and endanger public health. Now, Trump Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt says that decision will be reversed.
This will be the largest deregulatory action in American history.
The endangerment finding is the basis for federal climate pollution regulations on vehicles, power plants, and the oil and gas industry. Earth Justice President Abigail Dillon calls the Trump administration decision illegal. And we will see this administration in court to ensure that our government does its job to protect us. The official announcement is expected Thursday at the White House.

Jeff Brady, NPR News.
vaccine maker Moderna says its new flu vaccine has been set back. Moderna says the Food and Drug Administration won't consider approving it. The flu shot uses mRNA technology. Moderna officials say a study shows that its flu shot is more effective than a standard one that's now on the market. The FDA says that it is not satisfied with that study.
