NPR says one of its correspondents reports from Gaza for the first time since the war began,

facing tight limits on access and movement imposed by Israeli authorities.

Here's Daniel Grove with more.

NPR reports its mid-east correspondent Daniel Estrin entered the Gaza Strip under rules that require a military escort.

Israel's government press office and the Israel Defense Forces say the constraints reflect safety and operational security.

Checkpoints, screenings, and controlled routes limit what journalists can see and record.

The Committee to Protect Journalists and Aid Groups warn the restrictions hinder independent assessments of civilian needs and damage.

Nearly a year into the war, Estrin's visit underscores how difficult firsthand reporting remains inside Gaza.

Business and finance stories coming up.

Reuters reports a federal judge in Texas dismisses the criminal case tied to Boeing's 737 MAX crashes,

Families have pressed for accountability and tougher penalties.

Boeing paid $2.5 billion in a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement with the Justice Department.

The decision removes the threat of a criminal trial, but civil litigation and regulatory

oversight continue.

Families call the ruling a failure of justice.
