Marketplace All-in-One - Will August bring a wave of trade deals or a hike in tariffs?
We’re starting to see the first real evidence of President Trump’s tariffs showing up in consumer prices. But are these manageable, one-time price increases or the early signs of runaway inflation? Ana Swanson at The New York Times and Sudeep Reddy at MSNBC weigh in. Also on the show: what the latest spending cuts say about the balance of power in Washington, and why the USDA is moving away from considering race and gender in its farm loan and benefit programs.

Consider This from NPR - Trump says no one cares about Epstein. Why won’t his base let it go?
Nothing represented that theory more than the case of Jeffrey Epstein.
He was a man most people had never heard of initially, with a private plane and a private island. Acquainted with the world's most powerful people: British royalty, U.S. presidents.
A man who ultimately died in jail...by suicide, according to authorities... before the case against him went to trial. Epstein's case and his death bred skepticism and conspiracy theories – especially among supporters of Donald Trump.
Now, some of Trump's most ardent supporters are attacking his Justice Department's decision not to release all of the files related to the Epstein case.
Trump says nobody cares about Epstein. But his base won't let it go.

Newshour - Syria: Renewed clashes between Bedouin tribesmen and Druze Community
Renewed clashes between Bedouin tribesmen and members of the minority Druze Community have erupted in the south of Syria. A war monitoring group says there's been fighting and shelling in neighbourhoods of the mainly Druze city of Suweida. We'll hear from Damascus and get a US view of Israel's policy.
Also, why President Trump and some of his most loyal supporters are at odds over the late, disgraced financier, Jeffrey Epstein.
And some virtuoso piano playing from a performer born with only one hand.
