The things you buy are about to get more expensive.

Kamala Harris shared some big news, and scientists found life in a deep, dark place.

That's some of what we'll get to on the seven from the Washington Post.

I'm Hannah Jewell. It's Thursday, July 31st. Let's get you caught up

with today's seven stories. Number one. The Trump administration is scrambling to make

trade deals before tariffs kick in. If you've had trouble following all the twists and turns of President Trump's

tariff wars, I don't blame you. But there's a big deadline you should know about tomorrow.

August 1st is Trump's self-imposed deadline for broad new taxes on imports to kick in. He had delayed

the tariffs which were announced in April, pending negotiations

with dozens of countries. Yesterday, Trump said he had reached a deal with South Korea. If that's the

case, the Trump administration will have made deals with 11 of the country's top 15 trading partners.

Procter & Gamble said it's going to raise prices on about a quarter of its products starting in August.

That's the company that makes Don Dish

soap, Charmin toilet paper, crested toothpaste, and tied detergent. Procter and Gamble said the

move was in part because of the billion-dollar tariff hit it's expecting to face annually.

Number two, tsunami waves were relatively tame after one of the world's biggest earthquakes. Yesterday, an 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off the east coast of Russia. Around the

Pacific, countries braced for tsunamis. In the past,

such strong earthquakes have caused massive damaging waves. Thankfully, that's not what happened this time.

The reason could be that this earthquake did not shift land under the sea as much as previous ones have.

That's what pushes the sea floor upward, displacing water and creating tsunamis.
