Corva Coleman 0:00

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman. NATO aircraft and Polish aircraft scrambled fighter jets today to shoot down drones that entered Polish airspace. The drones are Russian. NPR's Rob Schmitz reports the Polish government is calling the drone incursion an act of aggression.

Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk says he's in contact with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and that he's called for an emergency meeting of Poland's Council of Ministers. An operation is underway related to the repeated violation of Polish airspace, posted Tusk on social media. He went on to say Poland's military shot down some of the drones that entered both Poland's and NATO airspace and that a search was underway to locate them. Most of Ukraine, including areas at border Poland, was under air raid alerts nearly all night, according to Ukraine's air force. Rob Schmitz, NPR News, Berlin.

Israel is defending yesterday's strike in the capital of Qatar.

What actions did Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk take after the drone incursion?

This was aimed at top Hamas leaders. The Israeli strike has been condemned by several nations, and President Trump has criticized it. Israel says it will act against its enemies anywhere. It told Hamas to release all hostages, or they will be killed, the leaders that is, and Gaza will be destroyed. The U.S. Supreme Court will take up President Trump's tariffs in early November. At issue is a question about congressional versus presidential authority. NPR's Nina Totenberg reports opponents of the tariffs say... Only Congress has the power to manage tariffs, and the president can only step in when

Congress allows. In establishing the tariffs, they contend that Trump has vastly exceeded any power delegated to him by Congress under various statutes.

How is Israel responding to the recent strike in Qatar and what international reactions followed?

A dozen states have joined the fight against the tariffs, too, arguing that, contrary to Trump's argument that the tariffs are aimed at preventing tariffs, illegal fentanyl imports, the tariff statutes do not authorize such a tenuous connection to commerce. Taxing tomatoes, they say, does not deal with fentanyl. NPR's Nina Totenberg reporting.

The Missouri State House has advanced a plan to redraw the state's congressional voting map. President Trump has demanded this. The measure goes next to the Missouri State Senate. From St. Louis Public Radio, Brian Munoz has more.

Republicans say what they're calling the Missouri First Map better reflects the will of the state's most Republican voters next year's midterm election.

What are the legal arguments surrounding President Trump's proposed tariffs and congressional authority?

Democrats, however, warn it could unfairly favor the GOP and dilute the power of Kansas City voters. Ashley Ani is the House Minority Leader. We knew coming into this special session we would lose. We knew that. But we showed up and we will keep showing up because the fight didn't end today. There's a lot of fight left. Missouri's just the latest, but it's happening all over the country. The bill now moves to the Missouri Senate, where it is expected to pass later this week. For NPR News, I'm Brian Munoz in Jefferson City, Missouri.

has released a broad strategy about children's health. The report is getting mixed reviews from public health experts. This is NPR. The movie The Conjuring last rights resuscitated the box office over the weekend. NPR's Mandalay Delbarco reports it has now become the top horror movie opening ever.

In the latest Conjuring movie, the fourth in the franchise, paranormal investigators and demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren confront a family's haunted house. There's an evil here. Bobby Bagby Ford, who heads B&B Theaters, says the supernatural horror movie became a surprising smash hit. It really became a cultural event, and so we're really excited. It really changed the trajectory of September.

Why is the horror film 'The Conjuring: Last Rites' becoming a box‑office phenomenon this September?

The momentum could continue next weekend with the anime movie Demon Slayer Infinity Castle, and in the fall, Wicked for Good and the new Avatar movie Fire and Ash.
