Live from NPR News, I'm Janine Herbst. A Russian mass missile and drone attack overnight hammered Ukraine's energy infrastructure, hitting substations and power generation facilities. NPR's Eleanor Beersley reports Ukrainians are coping as best they can.
Air raid sirens blared over Kyiv in the early morning hours Saturday, but the strikes were targeted at energy facilities more than civilian infrastructure this time. The Kremlin is trying to cripple Ukraine's energy structures ahead of another winter of war. Generators hum away on the sidewalks of Kyiv, and people plan their lives around the rolling blackouts.

Unfortunately, you are getting used to it, and you need to handle somehow to have your mental state on a normal level.

A federal judge ruled the Trump administration can't use Guantanamo Bay, Cuba as a holding place for migrants targeted for deportation. But NPR's Sasha Pfeiffer reports the ruling stops short of telling the government to end the practice.
The ruling came in a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, which now plans to ask the court to shut down the migrant detention center at Guantanamo. The Trump administration began sending migrants there in February, and about 700 have been sent so far, usually for a few days or weeks at a time.
The judge said that's costing $100,000 a day per detainee, whereas it would cost about $165 a day per detainee to hold them in the U.S. The judge also said the administration is not legally permitted to use offshore military bases to hold detainees designated for deportation.

Waymo, the autonomous ride-hailing service, plans to file a software recall after some of its cars illegally passed stopped school buses. NPR's Jeff Brady reports a federal investigation is also underway.
An Atlanta TV station aired video in September showing a Waymo driverless taxi maneuvering around a stopped school bus. The bus's red lights were flashing and its stop sign extended. In Austin, Texas, the school district documented 19 similar incidents, one just moments after a student crossed in front of the Waymo vehicle.
Waymo says in an email statement that a software issue contributed to the problem and that it has been fixed. No one was injured, and Waymo plans to file a voluntary recall of the software with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which launched an investigation. Waymo is a subsidiary of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, which is a financial supporter of NPR.

You're listening to NPR News in Washington. California is warning people about foraging for wild mushrooms because of a deadly outbreak linked to the fungi. California's poison control system has identified 21 cases of amatoxin poisoning, likely from death cap mushrooms. Wet weather fuels the growth of these toxic mushrooms and they're often mistaken for edible ones. One adult is dead.
Several others, including children, have suffered severe liver damage. Symptoms like nausea and vomiting can appear within 24 hours, but serious complications can develop later. Police departments across the country are rethinking how to support officers who experience traumatic events on the job. Studies show they face a higher risk of mental health problems.
