The Upper Darby School District superintendent is taking steps to protect students and staff from gun violence with the proposal of a weapons detection system. "It's unfortunate we're having these conversations, but here in the school district, we're going to review the best safety measures that we can and hope we make the right decision to keep our kids safe," said Superintendent Dr. Daniel McGarry. McGarry believes this is one solution - installing a weapons detection system by Evolv Technology in the middle and high schools. About 4,400 students are in the high school and nearly 3,000 are in the middle schools. He proposed the idea in 2018 and 2022, but it was denied. This time around, he said school board members want him to present it at a committee meeting on Tuesday. "This is not a metal detector. It's different," said McGarry. "It's not really looking just for metal; it has artificial intelligence - looking for the shape and what looks like a weapon."

Israel had a hand in the manufacturing of pagers that exploded on Hezbollah operatives this week, with this type of "supply chain interdiction" operation having been planned for at least 15 years, a U.S. intelligence source confirmed to ABC News. The CIA has long been reluctant to employ this tactic because the risk to innocents was too high, the source said. Planning for the attack involved shell companies, with multiple layers of Israeli intelligence officers and their assets fronting a legitimate company that produced the pagers, the source confirmed to ABC News, with at least some of those doing the work unaware of who they were actually working for. #hezbollah #israel #lebanon #news #fyp #fypage

The Federal Reserve has cut its benchmark interest rate from its 23-year high, with consequences for debt, savings, auto loans, mortgages and other forms of borrowing by consumers and businesses. On Wednesday, the Fed announced that it reduced its key rate by an unusually large half-percentage point, to between 4.75 and 5 percent, the first rate cut in more than four years. The central bank is acting because, after imposing 11 rate hikes dating back to March 2022, it feels confident that inflation is finally mild enough that it can begin to ease the cost of borrowing. At the same time, the Fed has grown more concerned about the health of the job market. Lower rates would help support the pace of hiring and keep unemployment down. More Fed rate cuts are expected in the coming months, with the steepness of the reductions dependent on the direction of inflation and job growth.
