Missiles hit Ukrainian city, alarms elsewhere keep up fear |
| The State Emergency Service said 12 S-300 missiles slammed into public facilities in the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia Tuesday morning, setting off a large fire and killing one person. Missiles struck a school, a medical facility and residential buildings, the city council secretary said.

Supreme Court to hear case that could raise price of pork |
| The Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday over a California animal cruelty law that could raise the cost of bacon and other pork products nationwide. The case's outcome is important to the nation's $26-billion-a-year pork industry. But the outcome could also help define the limits of states' ability to pass laws with impact outside their borders, including laws aimed at combating climate change or improving drug prices. The case before the court involves a California law that says pork sold in the state needs to come from pigs whose mothers were raised with at least 24 square feet of space, including the ability to lie down and turn around.

In both cases, they found that the way the money was distributed and how it was earmarked, or not, for specific uses has been problematic and did not meet intended policy goals. Read more |

Here's what to know about NFL concussion protocol's new no-go symptom |
| The NFL and NFL Players Association added a new set of criteria a player must meet to return to play under its new concussion protocol, barring any player exhibiting signs of ataxia, a loss of coordination due to brain damage, from re-entering a game. The new protocols come in wake of the recent controversy surrounding Tua Tagovailoa. The Miami Dolphins quarterback was carted off the field and diagnosed with a concussion in a Thursday night game against the Cincinnati Bengals, just days after he appeared to suffer a head injury in a Week 3 win against the Buffalo Bills, only for the team to say it was a back injury.
