What new humanitarian aid is Israel providing to Gaza?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Wilman. Israel says it's resuming aid drops into Gaza and will create humanitarian quarters to enable UN convoys to travel safely into the area. As NPR Zellander Beardsley reports, the move comes while an international outcry is underway as famine conditions in Gaza worsen.
The IDF says the humanitarian airdrop operation will be carried out in coordination with international aid organizations. The airdrop will include pallets of supplies, flour, sugar, and canned food provided by international partners. The Israeli army said it will also facilitate the expansion of water desalination in the Gaza Strip by connecting the desalination plant to Israeli electricity. The Israeli government has come under increasing international pressure and has been accused of withholding aid to Gaza. Eleanor Bearsley in PR News Tel Aviv.
The stabbing incident at a Walmart and Travers City, Michigan, has sent eleven people to a hospital.
What happened in the Walmart stabbing incident in Traverse City, Michigan?
Six of those injured are in critical condition. County Sheriff Michael Shea says a suspect is in custody. She would not offer a motive for the attack, but he says crime like this doesn't happen there.
It is very uncommon for our area, but unfortunately, as I mentioned, no one is immune to this.
President Trump is in Scotland this weekend for a little golf. He'll also be hosting trade talks with the president of the European Union. MPR's Franco Ordonia has more on our story.
Trump said there's about a fifty fifty chance of reaching a new trade deal ahead of next week's deadline for new terrorists on the EU. But overshadowing the trip is the political firestorm in the US about Jeffrey Epstein.
Why is President Trump traveling to Scotland and what trade talks are planned?
I'm not focused on conspiracy theories that you are.

Today marked the thirty-fifth anniversary since the Americans with disabilities act became law in the US. MPRZUKINaguushi reports on the potential future of that legislation.
The landmark nineteen ninety law created new opportunities and protections for people with disabilities, giving them rights to sue for discrimination in finding things like homes and jobs. Federal funds that filtered to state disability rights groups, for example, enabled people to bring discrimination cases that helped crack down on violations like abuse or forced labor. Now, as they mark progress over the past three and a half decades, disability rights advocates also worry about massive cuts to federal funding, as well as new requirements for Medicaid recipients, Yukinaguchi NPR News.
And you're listening to NPR News. The southeastern U.S.
How is the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act being reflected in current policy debates?
is under a heat advisory this weekend. The advisory covers a region from central Florida into Virginia. Temperatures there are expected to reach into the upper nineties with a heat index between 105 and 110. Extreme heat warnings, meanwhile, are in effect for eastern North Carolina in parts of South Carolina. Much of the Midwest is also experiencing extreme heat, and storms in Iowa have triggered flash flood warnings there. New research is revealing how much illegal fishing goes on worldwide. Satellite technology is showing where fishing ships previously went undetected, NPR's Lauren Summer has our reports.
Most of the global seafood catch is brought in by large industrial ships, basically floating factories at sea that can travel for months or years. It's been tough for marine scientists to figure out if they're fishing in places they shouldn't.
How are satellite technologies exposing illegal industrial fishing worldwide?
Many ships have GPS transponders, but they can be disabled. Now, satellite-based radar is revealing their movements. Two studies in Madernal Science looked at that data. They found in places where fishing is banned, there's little fishing going on. But in protected areas where the restrictions are looser, two-thirds of them had industrial fishing that was previously undetected. Researchers say the new data could help countries enforce fishing bans in the future. Lauren Summer, NPR News.
Mexico City celebrated its seven hundredth anniversary on Saturday with public events across the city. Artists dressed in indigenous clothing reenacted the founding of the Aztec Capitol, while later hundreds of dancers dressed in feather headdresses played drums and performed sacred dances.
