Why did Israel launch a new ground operation in central Gaza and what were the humanitarian impacts?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Lakshmi Sangh. Israel has begun a new ground operation in central Gaza that it has largely avoided in the war so far. And the growing desperation among Palestinians scrambling to get to food and other life saving supplies has resulted in another deadly encounter. Local health officials say more than a hundred Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military as they tried to get food yesterday. And Pierre's Hadil Al Shalcheep. As the latest.
The Israeli military issued new evacuation orders for Palestinians to leave parts of Dir al-Balach in central Gaza. This is an area that Israeli troops have avoided for fear of endangering hostages who are believed to be held there. This comes as UN officials said Israeli tanks and snipers fired at Palestinians in northern Gaza as they gathered around a border fence with Israel to try to get food from a UN World Food Program aid convoy. The Israeli military said they posed a threat to troops.
What is the newly discovered Microsoft SharePoint vulnerability and how could it affect governments and corporations?
This on the same day that the US-based World Central Kitchen Charity said it ran out of ingredients to cook warm meals in Gaza. The UN says that the territory remains at critical risk of famine. Hadil Al Shalchi NPR News, Tel Aviv.
Cybersecurity experts in government and in the private sector are warning of a newly discovered digital vulnerability already being exploited by hackers around the world. It's affecting a piece of Microsoft software. More from NPR's Jenna McLaughlin.
The Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has released a new alert warning about a flaw in Microsoft SharePoint. The problem exists on a version of the collaboration tool that clients install locally rather than connect to online. If hackers break in using this flaw, they could access everything hosted on the platform, including secret cryptographic keys, and essentially take control, according to SISA. Microsoft says it continues to work on and release patches to secure the software.
How did the DHS respond to the New York City Customs and Border Protection shooting and what arrests were made?
Experts are still trying to identify the scope and scale of digital attacks using this new technique. However, several cybersecurity companies say it's already affecting governments and corporations around the globe. Jenna McLaughlin, NPR News.
Homeland Security Secretary Christy Gnome visited the Customs and Border Protection Officer, who was injured in a shooting in New York City over the weekend in an attempted robbery. She says a second person's also in custody in connection with the shooting.
We were able to bring the second individual in and have detained him as well, and he will face consequences and hopefully strong prosecution for his crimes and his involvement on Saturday night. The DHS
says the first suspect arrested is a citizen of the Dominican Republic who entered the US illegally in 2023 and was released. Nome says he was arrested multiple times in the city and appeared to partly blame what happened over the weekend on the city's sanctuary policies. It's NPR news. Economists and coffee roasters say President Trump's decision to raise tariffs on imports from Brazil is
What are the potential effects of the Trump administration’s 50% tariff on Brazilian coffee imports?
Will raise coffee prices in the United States. NPR's Jacqueline Diaz has details.
Earlier this month, the Trump administration announced a fifty percent tariff on all goods from Brazil. This is on top of a ten percent tariff already in place. Brazil is the source of about a third of US coffee imports. Other coffee producing countries, including Vietnam, Colombia and Ethiopia, are also facing possible tariffs from the Trump administration. The move has the US coffee industry from importers to roasters to coffee shops rattled.
A fifty percent tariff will kill that market.
That's Monica DeBole, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. For now, the US coffee industry and coffee lovers hope tariffs won't come to pass.
