Zelenskyy rejects Trump's proposal that Ukraine could swap territories with Russia

A man opened fire outside the headquarters of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta on Friday, leaving bullet marks in windows across the sprawling campus and killing a police officer before he was found dead in a nearby building, authorities said.The attack, which unfolded near the neighboring Emory University campus, prompted a massive law enforcement response to one of the nation’s most prominent public health institutions, but no one else was reported to be injured.DeKalb County police officer David Rose, 33, was killed while responding to the shooting, the police department said. Rose, a father of two with a third on the way, had been with the police department since September.“He was committed to serving the community,” Interim Police Chief Greg Padrick said in a statement. “At this time we’re asking for the community’s prayers for his family, his friends, his loved ones and the entire DeKalb County Police Department family.”At least four CDC buildings were hit, Director Susan Monarez said in a post on X. Images shared by employees showed multiple agency buildings with bullet-pocked windows, underscoring the breadth of the damage to a site where thousands of scientists and staff work on critical disease research.Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said 911 calls about an active shooter came in around 4:50 p.m. for 1600 Clifton Road, immediately in front of the CDC campus. Emory University sent out an active shooting alert to its Atlanta campus, then lifted it about an hour and a half later.When officers responded to the scene, Schierbaum said they found Rose critically injured. Rose later died of his injuries from a gunshot wound, Padrick said.Schierbaum said officers heard gunfire inside a CVS at the intersection, and went inside the building to try to locate the shooter.The gunman was found on the second floor of a building across the street from the CDC campus and died at the scene, Schierbaum said. He added that “we do not know at this time whether that was from officers or if it was self-inflicted.”The gunman’s motive is still unknown this early in the investigation, Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens said.There were 92 children at a daycare on the CDC campus in Atlanta when the shooting took place nearby, Dickens said.Staff at a deli near campus locked the doors and hunkered down inside. Brandy Giraldo, The General Muir’s chief operating officer, said staffers inside heard a string of gunshots.“It sounded like fireworks going off, one right after the other,” she said.Monarez said Monday would be a remote workday for all CDC employees so the agency could conduct a security assessment before workers return to their offices. In her X post, she called the shooting an “attack on our Roybal Campus,” referring to the office complex.“As we navigate the aftermath of this event, we want to express our eternal gratitude to law enforcement personnel who were injured and share our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the Dekalb County Police Officer who was killed in the line of duty,” she wrote in an email sent to employees.The CDC and Emory’s main campus are surrounded by affluent wooded neighborhoods in northeast Atlanta. All three institutions line up along Clifton Road. The area is hard to access, and notoriously traffic-choked, but on Friday few cars were in evidence as a warning siren blared.“Twice this week, deranged criminals have targeted innocent Georgians,” Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said on X.He thanked the “brave first responders” who “rushed toward the danger to subdue the shooter and save lives, reminding us of just how crucial they are.”“We ask that you join us in holding them in our prayers, along with those harmed this evening near the CDC Center,” he said.An active-duty soldier opened fire at an Army post in Georgia on Wednesday, injuring five service members before he was subdued by witnesses and taken into custody, a military official said.

Açai berry producers are concerned as Trump imposes tariffs on Brazil's exports

When U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs of 50% on Brazilian exports in July, acai producer Ailson Ferreira Moreira felt immediately concerned.After all, who was going to eat all of that Amazon berry, globally famous as a delicious, refreshing and nutritious superfood, if American consumers suddenly could no longer afford it?As the main importer of the Brazilian berry, prices of acai smoothies and bowls look certain to go up in the United States.“The acai that’s all produced here ... If only people here eat it, it’s going to be a lot of acai, right?” Moreira told The Associated Press outside of Belem, an Amazon city of 1.4 million residents that will host this year’s U.N. climate summit COP30 climate summit in November. “If there’s too much acai here, people won’t be able to eat it all and the price will drop.”A single full crate of acai sells for around $50 at local markets in Brazil, a price that is now expected to plummet. The U.S. is by far the largest acai importer of a total Brazilian output currently estimated at about 70,000 tons per year.Impact already being feltThe most vulnerable acai producers in the northern state of Para say they have already been hit by tariffs imposed by the U.S. government, as a surplus of the berry without a clear destination starts to mount only days after the new economic scenario unfolded. Trump administrationAug 7New tariffs take effect; Russia says Putin will meet with TrumpTrump administrationAug 6New tariffs snap into effect, raising import taxes to highest level since Great DepressionMore powerful exporters, such as Sao Paulo-state based company Acai Tropicalia Mix, are also feeling the impact. One of its owners, Rogério de Carvalho, told the AP that last year he exported to the U.S. about 270 tons of acai cream — an industrialized version of the berry — ready for consumption. As tariffs started to loom, he said, American importers steered away and clients suspended negotiations. Until the end of July, de Carvalho estimates that his company sold 27 tons to the U.S.“That’s 1.5 million Brazilian reais ($280,000) that we lost,” the businessman said. “We are confident there will be a deal between the two countries to allow not only our clients to return, but also getting some new ones.”Tariffs linked to Bolsonaro caseTrump has linked the higher tariffs on Brazil to the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is now under house arrest for his alleged role in leading an alleged coup plot to remain in office, despite his election loss to current leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. And despite several Brazilian exports being exempted from the tariffs, acai berries aren’t among them.Brazil’s industry ministry didn’t reply to a request for comment on whether acai berries are among the items that remain on the negotiating table with U.S. trade representatives.Flavor explosionNearly all of the acai consumed in the U.S. originates from Brazil, with the state of Para alone accounting for 90% of the country’s total production. Several communities in the Amazon depend on its harvest. The harvesting of acai is a physically demanding job that requires workers to climb tall trees with minimal safety equipment, and then sliding down branches full of berries to fill baskets and then place them carefully in crates. Analysts say its producers also help protect the rainforest from illegal loggers, miners and cattle ranchers.The night markets of Belem, such as the Ver-o-Peso acai market, are a hub of activity where the freshly harvested berries are brought in by boat and prepared for sale.The Brazilian Association of Fruit and Derivative Producers and Exporters estimates there was an explosive growth of acai exports from Para state, from less than one ton in 1999 to more than 61,000 tons in 2023. Another explosive rise was expected for this year, before the tariffs.On Thursday, Brazil requested consultations at the World Trade Organization over tariffs imposed by the Trump administration against the South American nation that went into effect on Wednesday.That could be took little too late for acai harvester Mikael Silva Trindade, who agrees that the future of the trade is at risk as higher U.S. tariffs can disrupt the delicate balance of supply and demand that holds the industry.“There will be nowhere to market (the excess of acai),” Trindade told the AP as he picked berries in Para state. “The more you export, the more valuable it becomes. But if there’s too much to sell, it will stay here and become cheap.”___Mauricio Savarese reported from Sao Paulo, Brazil.___
