Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.

The death toll from catastrophic flooding across central Texas has risen to more than 100.

NPR's Greg Allen report, search and rescue operations continue in Kerr County, one of the hardest hit areas.

Hundreds of emergency workers and volunteers are coming through down trees, mud, and debris along the Guadalupe River.

Some victims have been recovered from vehicles they became trapped in during the flood.

Tricia Boswell, a volunteer with Texas Equalsearch, has been scanning debris piles on the river from an airboat.

We all have the same goal. Just find that person,

we don't care who it is. We want to find a person that's missing and reunite them with their

family. Local officials say there are more than 60 miles of river to search, and even with large

crews, checking a single mile can take several hours. Greg Allen, NPR News, Curville, Texas.

President Trump has announced new tariff rates on goods from at least 14 countries.

The announcements are a result of months of uncertainty around the president's chaotic trade policy.

NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports. In a series of social

media posts, President Trump released letters to the leaders of several foreign countries,

including major trading partners, Japan and South Korea. Those countries' goods will have 25% tariffs,

but some countries will now face tariffs of 40 percent. Trump had imposed tariffs on nearly

every country on April 2nd. He pulled them back to 10 percent days later, after markets panicked,

saying tariffs would go back up in 90 days on July 9th. He had said he would make deals with

countries before then, but in recent days has said he would simply send letters informing countries of their rates.

In addition, the White House announced Trump would delay his July 9th tariff deadline to August 1st,

at which point some tariffs would bounce back upwards.
