5 things to know for Sept. 6: Hush money, Georgia school shooting, Starliner, Typhoon Yagi, Hunter Biden

CNN’s 5 Things brings you the news you need to know every morning.

The rollout of updated Covid-19 vaccines has begun in the US, but for the first time, the shots will no longer be free for people without insurance at their local pharmacy. Some states are still offering free vaccines to those who can’t afford them, but it will cost more than $200 for uninsured adults to receive the latest Covid shot at CVS Pharmacy. Here’s what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day. The judge overseeing the New York hush money case against former President Donald Trump is expected to render his decision today on whether to delay the Republican presidential nominee’s sentencing date. The former president is currently scheduled to be sentenced on September 18, but Trump asked to postpone the sentencing until after Election Day. Trump was convicted earlier this year on 34 charges of falsifying business records stemming from hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The unprecedented verdict made Trump the first former president in American history to be convicted of a felony. But it will ultimately be up to voters in November to decide the significance of the guilty verdict, which, on a legal basis, does not prevent Trump from being elected president again. The father of the 14-year-old Apalachee High School shooting suspect has been arrested for “knowingly allowing” his son to have a weapon. The teen’s father is charged with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children in connection with the shooting that left two students and two teachers dead in Georgia this week. The father of the alleged shooter told investigators he purchased the gun used in the rampage as a holiday present for his son in December 2023. During a search of the suspect’s home, authorities also found documents they believe were written by the teen and referenced past school shootings. After 12 weeks in space, Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft is finally set to return home from the International Space Station today — without its two-person crew. The troubled spacecraft will undock from the orbiting laboratory around 6 p.m. ET, and it will spend about six hours maneuvering closer to home before landing around midnight in New Mexico. The astronauts who rode aboard Starliner to the space station on June 5, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, will remain on board the orbiting laboratory. NASA announced last month that experts were wary of gas leaks and issues with the Starliner capsule’s propulsion system, leading the agency to determine the spacecraft is not safe enough to finish its mission with crew on board. One of this year’s most powerful storms is slamming the Chinese holiday island of Hainan, the strongest typhoon to make landfall there in 10 years. Typhoon Yagi is currently the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane and is threatening significant wind damage — including to trees, buildings and power lines — as well as flooding. The storm is expected to maintain its strength as it makes another landfall in northern Vietnam on Saturday evening, bringing between 10 to 20 inches of rain. China’s Central Meteorological Agency renewed its red typhoon warning, the most severe alert, today for Hainan and Guangdong. Hainan is often dubbed “China’s Hawaii,” boasting sandy beaches, good surf, five-star resorts and duty-free luxury shopping.
