Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton.
Chapter 2: What incident occurred at a Detroit-area synagogue?
The FBI says a man who crashed his pickup truck into a Detroit-area synagogue earlier this month was carrying out an attack inspired by Iran-backed terrorist organization Hezbollah. FBI officials say Ayman Gonzalez made a video before the attack, saying he wanted to kill as many of them as he could. Ghazali exchanged gunfire with a security guard before fatally shooting himself.
No one among the 150 children and staff were injured. An Iranian missile strike on a base in Saudi Arabia wounded as many as 20 U.S.
Chapter 3: What details emerged about the Iranian missile strike on U.S. troops?
troops. NPR's Quill Lawrence reports Iran also destroyed two vital U.S. radar planes.
A U.S.
Chapter 4: How is Russia's oil delivery to Cuba significant?
official not authorized to speak publicly has confirmed to NPR that two E-3 Sentry aircraft were damaged in the Iranian missile and drone attack on Friday. The E-3 Sentries are known as AWACS, which stands for Airborne Warning and Control System Aircraft, and are crucial along with U.S. drones and satellites to de-conflicting friendly aircraft and detecting threats.
Iran appears to have targeted the planes precisely where they sat, uncovered at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. Also, the official confirmed that the number of wounded service members has grown since initial reports, including several injuries described as serious. Quill Lawrence, NPR News.
Russia says one of its oil tankers is now docked in Cuba with emergency fuel.
Chapter 5: What changes were made to FEMA's disaster preparedness funding?
It's the first delivery since the Trump administration imposed a blockade three months ago. NPR's Charles Maines has more.
Russia's Ministry of Transportation said the oil tanker Anatoly Kalotkin arrived in port early Monday, where it was set to unload nearly three-quarters of a million barrels of crude oil. The move amounted to at least a pause in a U.S. fuel embargo against Cuba, buying the island a few more weeks before its fuel reserves run dry. Over the weekend, President Trump indicated the U.S.
would not block the Russian ship's passage, saying one tanker could help the Cuban people survive but would do little to ease U.S. pressure on Cuba's communist government.
Chapter 6: How do toxic waste sites relate to climate change risks?
While the Kremlin has yet to comment directly on the oil delivery, it had signaled Russia intended to provide humanitarian aid to the island, its ally since the days of the Cold War. Charles Mainz, NPR News, Moscow.
The Trump administration has delayed billions of dollars for projects to protect people in the U.S. from disasters. NPR's Rebecca Hershel reports that includes hurricanes, wildfires, and floods.
The Trump administration canceled the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA's, largest program for funding disaster preparedness projects. Last week, the administration reinstated the program after a federal judge ordered FEMA to do so. But it's unclear how long it will take for the money to start flowing again, which means local governments across the country are waiting.
Andrew Rumbach studies federal disaster policy at the Urban Institute think tank and says time is of the essence.
I mean, we're a country full of sitting ducks, unfortunately.
Wildfires and hurricanes are most prevalent in the United States in the summer and fall months.

Chapter 7: What are the new dietary guidelines regarding protein intake?
Rebecca Herscher, NPR News.
This is NPR News. About 100 of the nation's most contaminated toxic waste sites are in areas prone to flooding and wildfires, threatening millions of people in the U.S. The EPA says about 13 million people live within three miles of such Superfund sites. Forty-nine of them in coastal areas are at risk from sea level rise or hurricanes. Another 47 are in low-lying areas prone to inland flooding.
and 31 are in areas at high risk for wildfires. As more coffee and food chains provide protein in their offerings, there are conflicting interpretations of just how much protein we need. NPR's Alison Aubrey reports.
Health Secretary Kennedy touts steak over cake, and the new dietary guidelines recommend a higher level of protein intake. But protein needs vary from person to person. Since the human body is continuously breaking down old proteins and making new ones, it relies on the amino acids from the food we eat.
And the amount we need depends on body weight, age, since protein needs increase with age, and activity level. Exercise creates a stress on the body, explained Stuart Phillips, a researcher at McMaster University.
When you eat more protein, you can take more up, you make more protein. new muscle proteins.
That's why if you exercise regularly, you may need to eat more protein. Allison Aubrey, NPR News.
A notebook with meeting minutes and a ledger are among the Ku Klux Klan-related items found recently when a Mississippi government office was cleared out. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety disclosed the discovery last week, and NAACP officials say it shows how deep Klan influence ran and that it's important to understand so history is not repeated. This is NPR.
