Live from NPR News in Washington, and I'm Dave Mattingly.

Amid efforts to arrange a summit between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, the Trump

administration says the U.S. will send $825 million worth of weapons and military equipment to

Keeve. The State Department says the package includes thousands of extended range

missiles and GPS units. The announcement followed a night of Russian attacks targeting Ukraine's

capital that left more than a dozen people dead. President Trump has issued an executive order that

strips more federal employees of their collective bargaining rights. As NPR's

Andrea Shue reports, the order affects workers and their unions at a half-dozen agencies.

Trump had already ended collective bargaining rights for roughly one million workers through an

executive order issued in March. This new order adds employees at NASA, the National Weather Service,

the Patent and Trademark Office, and other agencies. Trump is leaning on a provision in federal

law that gives them the authority to end union rights at agencies that have national security

as a primary function. Past presidents have used that authority sparingly. Unions have already filed a half dozen lawsuits

challenging the March order, arguing that Trump is retaliating against them for opposing parts of his

agenda. So far, two appeals courts have allowed the administration to move forward while litigation

continues. Andrea Shue and PR News. Police in Minnesota say they've not identified a specific motive for this week's deadly

shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis.

Two children were killed, 18 others were injured in the attack.

The wounded include three adults in their 80s.

Investigators say the shooter, identified as 23-year-old Robin Westman, once attended the church's school.

Westman's mother previously worked in the parish. As parents nationwide try to process what happened there,

health experts were advising them to be honest with their children, as NPR's Cadya Riddell reports.
