The Department of Homeland Security says he was violent and armed with a gun. Also, we report from Myanmar on the final stage of elections, with the dominant pro-military party on course for a landslide victory; Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, has described the first three-way peace talks with Russia and the United States in Abu Dhabi, as "constructive"; and an exhibition at Britain's National Archives of Love Letters across the generations.

Even before this latest war in Gaza, NPR’s Jerusalem-based Correspondent Daniel Estrin and Gaza reporter Anas Baba had spent years working together in challenging circumstances. Once war broke out, they had to adapt to a situation that made reporting together even more difficult.

For the second time this month, there's been a fatal shooting by federal immigration agents in the US city of Minneapolis. Local police said a thirty-seven year old man, who's believed to be an American citizen, had been killed.
Also in the programme: surviving the cold and war in Kharkiv; and why a beautiful Venetian palazzo is failing to sell.

First, Mike argues that Stephen Miller's promise of "federal immunity" to ICE agents is just as reckless as Donald Trump telling Iranian protesters the U.S. is "locked and loaded"—two instances of leaders writing checks their followers' safety can't cash. Then, from the vault (2022): Michelle Tafoya explains why she traded Monday Night Football for political podcasting. She discusses her "conservative libertarian" worldview, admits she might lack the "stomach" for a Senate run, and recounts the "hideous" experience of being "ambushed" on the Dan Le Batard show.

Before you start socking away money for retirement, you'll need to pick an account type. But choose wisely— because it'll shape your tax bill today and potentially decades from now. Robert Brokamp discusses how to choose the right account with financial planner and CPA Sean Mullaney, who writes the FITaxGuy blog and is the co-author, along with Cody Garrett, of “Tax Planning To and Through Early Retirement.”
Also in this episode:
-The stock market is broadening, with small caps, value stocks, and international stocks outperforming U.S. large-cap stocks since November
-Last week was the anniversary of gold hitting a then-record $850 in 1980, which was followed by a slump that lasted more than two decades
-A new study estimates how much of the cost of tariffs has been absorbed by consumers, importers, and retailers
-Now is the time to protect the money you’ll need in the next three to five years
