| Good morning. It's Monday, April 10, and it's the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement that ended decades of fighting in Northern Ireland. Now let's catch up from the weekend. |

 | Two judges released conflicting rulings on a key abortion pill. | - The rulings: A Texas judge suspended FDA approval of mifepristone on Friday night. Shortly after that, a judge in Washington state reached the opposite conclusion in a separate case.
- What is mifepristone? One of two pills used in the most common abortion method in the U.S. The FDA has repeatedly found that it is safe and effective.
- What now? Expect an appeal of the Texas ruling, which won't go into effect for seven days. Both decisions will probably go to the Supreme Court.

 | Dozens of classified intelligence documents have been leaked online. | |
| |
 | Israel faced an attack on another front this weekend. | - What to know: After rockets were fired at Israel from Syria, Israel retaliated yesterday with its own strikes.
- Why it matters: A new round of violence between Israelis and Palestinians has raised fears of wider conflict. The episode with Syria is a reminder of yet another flash point.

 | The expulsion of two Black lawmakers has deepened racial tension in Tennessee. | |
| |
 | Seas have risen drastically along the southern U.S. coast. | - How we know this: Multiple new studies. One calculated that sea levels have risen nearly 5 inches between 2010 and last year.
- Why that matters: What seem like small amounts of sea level rise can make storms, like Hurricane Ian last year, considerably worse — especially in low-lying regions.
- What this means: New Orleans, Miami, Houston and other coastal communities may be even more at risk than we thought.

 | A 28-year-old golfer from Spain won the Masters yesterday. | |

 | A total solar eclipse will sweep over the country one year from now. | - When? Monday, April 8, 2024. It will be the first total solar eclipse — where the moon temporarily blocks out the sun — over the U.S. since 2017. It won't happen again until 2044.
- Where can you see it? Major cities including Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Buffalo. Day will turn into night for up to four minutes.
