Mississippi’s governor said he would declare a state of emergency for Jackson, the state’s largest city, after its main water treatment plant failed Monday, leaving residents without enough water to flush toilets or fight fires. State authorities are now trying to start distributing water to 180,000 residents, according to Gov. Tate Reeves. “Please be safe. Do not drink the water,” Reeves said, explaining that untreated water from the reservoir is pumped through pipes. The state is expected to call in the National Guard to help distribute potable and non-potable water as crews work to bring the treatment plant back online. On Monday afternoon, Jackson residents faced the aftermath of record-setting rainfall that caused the Pearl River to crest at a dangerously high level. Correction: an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that: “On Monday afternoon, Jackson residents were hit by record-setting rain that caused the Pearl River to crest at a dangerously high level.” The rainfall occurred several days ago, and on Monday night, Jackson residents faced the aftermath of record-setting rain that caused the Pearl River to crest at a dangerously high level.
2. Trump
The US administration faces a deadline today to respond in writing to former President Donald Trump’s request for a special master to oversee the FBI’s examination of evidence seized at his Mar-a-Lago residence. A special master is a third-party attorney appointed by a court to oversee part of a particular case. A federal judge has signaled a “preliminary intent” to grant the request, which could throw up new complications in the Justice Department’s closely-watched investigation into White House documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago. If appointed in Trump’s case, the special master would oversee the Justice Department’s review of evidence gathered from his private club and filter out privileged material that may have been seized in the investigation.
3. Ukraine
The US has assessed that Russia now has weapons-capable Iranian drones that it will likely deploy on the battlefield in Ukraine, Biden administration officials tell CNN. Drones are capable of carrying precision munitions and can be used for surveillance. The US believes Russia plans to import hundreds of them to use for air-to-ground attacks, electronic warfare and targeting inside Ukraine. News of the drone deliveries comes as the Biden administration has expressed cautious optimism about the possibility of reviving the Iran nuclear deal. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky pledged to strengthen the country’s defenses by “chasing” Russian troops at the border: “If they want to survive, it’s time for the Russian army to run away. Go home,” he added.
4. Shooting in Oregon
Investigators are working to determine the motive of a 20-year-old gunman who killed two people at an Oregon convenience store Sunday night. Police responded to the Safeway in Bend, Oregon, within minutes of receiving 911 calls about an active shooting, authorities said. The shooter entered the mall carrying an AR-15-style rifle and a shotgun and began shooting in the parking lot before entering the grocery store. As police rushed to the store, they heard gunshots, but then discovered the gunman dead at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police said they know the shooter may have posted information online about the shooting, as well as plans for future shootings. The investigation remains ongoing.
5. Fukushima
More than 11 years after Japan’s worst nuclear disaster, the city that hosts the disabled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant finally lifted its evacuation order today, allowing former residents to return to their homes. The city of Futaba, previously considered off limits, is the last of the 11 districts to lift the evacuation order. On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck the east coast of Japan, triggering a tsunami that caused a nuclear meltdown at the power plant and a large release of radioactive material. It was the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986 and turned once-bustling communities into ghost towns. More than 300,000 people living near the nuclear plant were forced to temporarily evacuate. thousands more did so voluntarily. Although the city has now reopened, it remains unclear how many people will return — and how long it will take for the city to recover.

9,000 That’s about as many immigrants Texas has moved to New York and Washington in recent months as Gov. Greg Abbott tries to highlight his criticism of the Biden administration’s immigration policies. Abbott began bussing willing immigrants to D.C. earlier this year, saying the mission is to provide “much-needed relief to our devastated border communities.”
TODAY QUOTE
“While we had hoped to see Artemis I launch today, the effort provided valuable data as we test the most powerful rocket in history. Our commitment to the Artemis Program remains steadfast and we will return to the moon.” — Vice President Kamala Harris, underscoring US commitment to NASA’s Artemis program after the mission was postponed Monday morning. The historic launch, which will deliver the first biology experiment to deep space, was scrubbed after the team was unable to resolve a problem with one of the rocket’s four engines. The next chance to send the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft on their journey is Friday, but whether another attempt is made that day depends on how tests go.
