Here's what you need to know today.

Forward this to a friend who wants the world in five minutes.

Three people were shot and killed at a fast-food restaurant in Idaho early Sunday, and responding officers found the body of the suspected gunman in an area near the scene. State police confirmed no active threat remains and asked the public for tips through a dedicated hotline.

Idaho Governor Brad Little activated additional state-police units to support the local investigation, and federal authorities have joined for evidence review. Coeur d'Alene Regional Trauma Center said the injured are all in stable condition, and officials will hold a full briefing later Sunday afternoon.

At least 13 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza City, Khan Younis, and Deir el-Balah on Sunday, only days after Hamas agreed to a Trump-brokered disarmament framework meant to end the war. Israel says the strikes were targeted at military operatives who had not accepted the disarmament terms.

Framework's sequencing remains the fight — Israel wants to see weapons handed over before pulling troops back, while Hamas has insisted on prisoner exchanges and displacement returns first. Egyptian and Qatari mediators have proposed a fixed two-week review window, and the security cabinet is expected to meet again on Monday.

Key senators unveiled a short-term spending bill that keeps the federal government funded through the middle of campaign season, avoiding a shutdown neither party wanted less than 100 days from the midterms. The bill was negotiated across a series of weekend-only sessions.

The package covers routine appropriations without touching the fights over Medicaid, ICE, and the Trump-family settlement fund that had complicated the earlier round. Speaker Johnson signaled the House will move quickly, and analysts said the deal's structure suggests both chambers are trying to lower the political temperature ahead of Labor Day.

Flight attendants at Canada's second-largest airline walked off the job, canceling hundreds of WestJet flights at the peak of the summer holiday weekend. Tens of thousands of travelers are stranded across Canada and connecting hubs from Vancouver to Toronto.

Myanmar's military released photos showing Aung San Suu Kyi appearing healthy in her first contact in 2.5 years. Suu Kyi was pictured meeting an ICRC official, her first confirmed outside contact since detention.

An explosive device detonated at an Italian restaurant in Moscow, killing three and injuring 21, Russian media reported. It's the deadliest civilian incident in the capital in months, and it lands as Kremlin security services face mounting questions about domestic vulnerabilities.

Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio publicly called on Representative Max Miller — his former son-in-law — to step down after Miller's ex-wife made domestic abuse allegations. The rare public rebuke from a fellow Republican, and family member, puts Miller in a tight spot heading into the fall session.

Capital One is asking a judge to toss a Trump Organization lawsuit, arguing it closed hundreds of Trump-affiliated accounts in 2021 after a monthslong anti-money-laundering review — not because of the Jan. 6 riot, as the plaintiffs allege. The filing sets up a courtroom test of how much room banks have to walk away from a client on their own terms.

The State Department resumed a portion of health and humanitarian aid to UNICEF, Gavi, and the World Food Programme after months of frozen funding. The restored amount sits well below prior U.S. contributions, but it does restart money for malnutrition and disease programs.

AstraZeneca is in early talks with Bristol Myers Squibb on a potential $400 billion combination, per an FT report. A tie-up that big would reshape the global oncology and immunology pipelines and reset industry deal math overnight.

Washington and Tokyo confirmed they jointly moved to prop up the yen against the dollar over the weekend, in what analysts described as the sharpest coordinated FX intervention in nearly two decades. Both governments said they will not hesitate to intervene again if speculative pressure on the currency continues into the fall.

Airlines are on track to pay billions more for jet fuel this year than in 2025, and the extra cost is being passed to consumers in the form of higher fares — with domestic-leisure routes seeing the steepest increases through the fall booking window.

A trail of 1.4-million-year-old footprints preserved beside an ancient Kenyan lake shows eight individuals of a powerful human relative that grew nearly as large as modern humans. The pattern hints these hominins may have traveled in all-male groups — a rare glimpse of social behavior from deep time.

A single-cell study finds the human hippocampus undergoes major shifts in immune cells and gene regulation between ages 50 and 75, suggesting a distinct biological phase of brain aging. The findings could reshape how researchers approach dementia risk and prevention windows.

A defunct upper stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 is on a collision course with the moon, and scientists expect the impact to hit at more than 5,000 miles per hour. Astronomers plan to use the dust plume to study lunar-surface composition without a dedicated lander mission.

The Dodgers landed two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal from Detroit, instantly turning an already fearsome rotation into a possibly historic one as Los Angeles chases a third straight World Series title. Skubal joins a staff that now looks close to unbeatable in a short series.

Michael Thorbjornsen sank a 26-foot birdie on his last hole to shoot 63 and win his first PGA Tour title at the final Rocket Classic, finishing 18 under. The win vaults him into the FedEx Cup playoffs conversation.

Cal Emerson singled home the winning run in the bottom of the ninth to give the Mariners a second consecutive walk-off win over the Twins at T-Mobile Park. Emerson has now driven in the winning run in three of the Mariners' last seven wins.

Jackson Merrill drilled a two-run homer in the seventh inning to push San Diego past San Francisco 5-4 at Petco Park. Padres complete another series win, moving them within a half-game of the Dodgers.

Ariana Grande, 33, says she is stepping back from public life amid what she called "endless scrutiny," pausing tour announcements, press, and public appearances into the fall. Grande said in a written note that album promotion will continue via her label.

In an interview with MOJO magazine, Phil Collins said his years of alcohol abuse nearly killed him, calling himself "very lucky" to have survived. The Genesis drummer has been opening up more and more about the health struggles that ended his touring career.

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" pulled in the second-biggest global opening weekend of all time, giving Sony and Disney a fresh boost heading into "Avengers: Doomsday." Domestic previews had already broken records earlier in the week.

What it is: Photographer Laila AnnMarie Stevens is documenting her family's move from New York City to North Carolina — a personal record of what demographers now call the "Reverse Great Migration," the growing return of Black Americans from the northern cities their grandparents helped build back to the Southern states their great-grandparents left. Deep Dive walks through what's driving the shift, what the numbers actually show, and what changes as families move.

The detail: Census tracking since 2010 shows a sustained net migration of Black Americans from the Northeast and Midwest to the South, with Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida capturing the largest inflows. The pull factors are concrete — cost-of-living gaps that put homeownership within reach of families locked out in NYC, DC, Chicago, and Detroit; a growing set of Black-founded businesses and cultural institutions in Atlanta, Charlotte, and Houston; and family networks that have been re-anchoring across two generations. The push factors are equally concrete — school-quality erosion, big-city public-safety concerns, and property-tax pressure that had squeezed middle-income Black households harder than the demographic average.

A short history: The Great Migration of 1910–1970 saw roughly six million Black Americans leave the rural South for industrial cities in the North and West, remaking American labor markets, culture, and politics in both directions. That flow reversed slowly in the 1970s and quietly accelerated after 2000. The reversal is now large enough that historians are already using "Reverse Great Migration" as an accepted term, though its cultural implications are still being written.

Why it matters: Demographic reversals of this scale reshape political maps, housing markets, cultural institutions, and public-health infrastructure. Georgia's 2020 and 2022 elections were decisively shaped by the inflow. HBCUs, historically Black churches, and Black cultural institutions in the South are receiving new resources; parallel institutions in the North are quietly consolidating. And the family stories — like the Stevens family's — carry both grief for what's being left behind and hope for what a new set of Southern cities can become.

What to watch: Watch 2030 Census data as the clearest confirmation of whether the trend accelerated or held steady through the pandemic and post-pandemic cycles. Watch Southern city planning documents for how Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, and Raleigh are designing housing and transit for the growth. And watch mid-market Northern cities — Cleveland, Buffalo, Milwaukee — that are actively trying to slow the outflow with targeted programs.
