Live from MPR News on Child Snyder, a death toll is rising from Wednesday eve...
to Back Earth quakes in Venezuela.
“The health minister now says some 235 people were killed and another 43 hundred were injured.”
Scientists say the quakes were in unusual geological event as MPR's Katie Arrittle reports. Back to Back Earth quakes are not unheard of, but they're not typical according to those who study them. This unusual timing is in part what made this event so uniquely catastrophic according to William Barnhart. He's a geophysicist at the US Geological Survey. The combination of those having them on land and then having them close to major population
centers as we're starting to see is proving to be absolutely devastating. Barnhart says the USGS is analyzing satellite imagery in order to understand exactly what faults were involved in these earthquakes. Katie Arrittle and Pyreneus. Rescue teams are searching for survivors in the rubble of collapse buildings, hundreds believe to be trapped in many remain unaccounted for. The Supreme Court has struck down
“Hawaii's law limiting when gun owners can bring their guns on private property that”
isn't the decision impacts for other states as MPR's chaplain Diaz reports. In most states gun owners can bring firearms onto private property unless the property owner tells them otherwise, but five states have laws requiring gun owners to get permission from home owners before bringing their guns. Those states were Hawaii, California, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey. But this latest decision from the high court says those states
cannot force gun owners to get that permission. In a six-three decision the judges said requiring permission in advance places an undue burden on a person's right to possess and carry a gun.

The court also handed the White House victories in a pair of immigration cases, the court today allowed the Trump administration to end legal protections for Haitian and Syrian
“immigrants, and also cleared the way for the administration to potentially revive an immigration”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio says there has been progress and talks between Israel and Lebanon as impures Michelle Calamana reports. A joint statement between the U.S. and the Gulf Cooperation Council backs the negotiations between Israel and Lebanon and calls for the disarmament of non-state actors. That means
has below the Iranian-backed Lebanese militants. Rubio says the U.S. has revived a monitoring system. What it does is cent-com is now sitting not just with the Israeli military command, but the Lebanese command. And anytime an incident happens, we're not taking anybody else's word for it. We can see the incident and we can qualify, quantify what actually happened.
Renewed fighting between Hezbollah and Israel could derail U.S. talks with Iran, though Rubio says the negotiations are moving on separate tracks. Michelle Calamana and PR News Washington. This is NPR. A former executive at Social Media Giant Meta is suing the parent company of Facebook, claiming Meta is attempting to silence her. The lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court in Northern California by Sarah Wind Williams. The author of the best-selling

For out of five, while Australian teens under eight, 16 say they are still using social media three months after a nationwide law
banning them from it took effect. That's according to new research in the journal BMJ. Here's
in PR's Maria Cadoy. Last December, Australia became the first country in the world to ban
children under 16 from having accounts with many social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat. But a new observational study of 408 Australian teens found that in the early months since it passed, the law has had very little impact. And most teens continue to access social media with their own accounts. Only a small minority of teens said they were required to provide official proof of age to use social media. Some teens said
they actively bypassed age restrictions by using fake accounts, other people's accounts, or other measures. The findings come as similar bands are in the works in other countries.
