LA Post: Start your week smart: US Intel leak, Gaza, Dock collapse, Mississippi shooting, Boeing

(CNN) — You’ve probably heard a lot of talk this campaign season about how putting hefty tariffs on goods made overseas will revive America’s manufacturing sector. Trouble is, that is not how tariffs work. The fact of the matter is that tariffs are a tax on Americans.

Here’s what else you need to know to Start Your Week Smart.

The weekend that was

• The US is investigating a leak of highly classified US intelligence about Israel’s plans for retaliation against Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter. One of the people familiar confirmed the documents’ authenticity. The documents, dated October 15 and 16, began circulating online Friday after being posted on Telegram by an account called “Middle East Spectator.”
• At least 87 people were killed in an Israeli strike overnight Saturday on Beit Lahia in northern Gaza, the enclave’s health ministry said. The number killed includes 27 bodies retrieved so far and 60 people under the rubble. More than 40 people had been injured, including a number of very critical cases, the ministry said. CNN cannot confirm the figures but they match numbers provided by Kamal Adwan Hospital, where victims have been taken.
• Authorities are working to identify the cause of a partial ferry dock collapse on Georgia’s Sapelo Island that turned a day of celebration into tragedy, leaving at least seven dead and six critically injured as crowds gathered for a cultural festival on Saturday. The collapse happened as crowds gathered on the island for a celebration of its tiny Gullah-Geechee community of Black slave descendants.
• Three people were killed and eight others injured by gunfire in Mississippi at a party to celebrate a school’s football victory early Saturday, according to the local sheriff. There have been at least 422 mass shootings this year in the US, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which, like CNN, defines a mass shooting as one that injures or kills four or more people, not including the shooter.
• A tentative deal has been reached to end the five-week-long strike at troubled aircraft maker Boeing, the union announced to its 33,000 striking members early Saturday. The deal still needs to be ratified by a majority of the rank-and-file membership of the International Association of Machinists before it can take effect and workers can return to work. The union will hold the vote on Wednesday.

The week ahead

Monday
Look up in the sky after midnight and you might catch a glimpse of the Orionid meteor showers. The Orionid meteors come from one of the most famous comets, Halley, which is currently near the middle of its 76-year orbit around the sun. While the comet won’t make its appearance in Earth’s night sky until 2061, it leaves a trail of debris behind that our planet passes through every year, resulting in the Orionids.

Tuesday
Russian President Vladimir Putin will host the 16th BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia. The name for the group of leading emerging economies comes from its original member nations — Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa — and its mission is to act as a counterweight to the West and Western institutions like the G7. Additional BRICS members have been added over time, including Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Tuesday also marks two weeks until Election Day in the US.

Wednesday
CNN will hold a presidential town hall with Vice President Kamala Harris outside of Philadelphia. The event will air at 9 p.m. ET and be moderated by CNN’s Anderson Cooper. The network previously proposed a debate between Harris and former President Donald Trump in Atlanta on the same date. Harris accepted the invite but Trump repeatedly shrugged it off. Trump was also invited to participate in a CNN town hall.

Disney will begin rolling out its “Lightning Lane Premier Pass” at Disneyland Resort in California. The pass, which is priced at $400 per person, allows patrons to get into a faster line at any time of the operating day — once per ride — without having to reserve it on an app. At Disney World in Orlando, the pass will work and cost a bit differently, and will be available starting October 30.

Saturday
The Concert for Carolina, an event to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Helene, is set to take place in Charlotte. Performers include James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, Bailey Zimmerman, Luke Combs, Eric Church, Billy Strings, the Avett Brothers, Scotty McCreery, Chase Rice, and Parmalee. The sold-out concert can be livestreamed here for $24.99, but organizers said geotargeting technology is being used to ensure that those in affected areas will not be charged.
