“At PI Director Cash Patel says agents work through the weekend following Saturday night's”
chaos at the White House Correspondence Center in which a government charged through the security perimeter at the Washington Hill. >> America deserves answers. President Trump has committed to transparency and accountability and what we are doing with the team that the president has assembled is answering those questions in record
speed, but also divulging them to the public at the appropriate time without jeopardizing the integrity of the investigation. >> Speaking on Fox News before the man being held in connection with Saturday night shooting
made his first court appearance in Washington DC, 31-year-old Cole Allen was charged with
attempting to sat to assassinate President Trump. >> And Ronnie and Proposal to bring the war with the U.S. to an end began emerging Monday. The terms have not been made public, but the Associated Press is reporting that Iran is offering to reopen the straight-of-form moves and exchange for an end to the U.S. naval blockade.

“Israeli forces struck multiple heights in eastern Lebanon, Monday saying they were targeting”
Hezbollah in the south of the country. Hezbollah says Zipfire, multiple drones at Israeli troops and Paris Catlaun store reports on these latest attacks coming amid an extended ceasefire. The Israeli military announced multiple air strikes in the Bakal Valley in the east. That's after widespread strikes in the south and issuing new evacuation orders for areas
outside the Israeli occupied zone, causing many to re-evacuate their homes, like 35-year-old Abu Dhabar, who fled once again with his young family. >> How can you call this a ceasefire? He asks in a voice note to MPR, "If there was a ceasefire, we could be at home." Meanwhile, Hezbollah killed at least one Israeli soldier and injured several more in a drone
attack in the Israeli occupied south. Both Israel and Hezbollah have accused each other of ceasefire violations and seemed to be ramping up their attacks in response. Catlaun store of MPR news, Beirut.
“>> The Pentagon has announced another bold strike of alleged drug traffickers, three people”
were killed. MPR's Quill Lawrence reports U.S. military has killed at least 186 people this way since September. U.S. Southern Command posted surveillance video on social media showing a small boat exploding into flames. Southcom said it was on a known, narcotrafficking route in the eastern Pacific.
The Trump administration says it is at war with drug cartels and that makes it legal to destroy these boats and kill the people on board without trial. There have been more than 50 such strikes in the past eight months, and in some instances Southcom has killed shipwrecks survivors or simply left them to drown. Let's say this is murder and violates military and maritime law.
Coast Guard data show that when boats are interdicted instead of being destroyed, they have evidence of drug trafficking about 75% of the time. Quill Lawrence and PR news. >> And this is MPR news.
The Chinese government is blocking the attack company metas two billion dollar purchase
of an artificial intelligence startup with roots in China, and Pyroshan Ruach reports. Data acquired the startup, Manus AI, in December. It's based in Singapore, but got it started in China and only moved to the Southeast Asian country last year. Beijing has been investigating Manus since January, and the financial times reported two of
the company's founders were barred from leaving China. The Chinese government is concerned about losing companies in talent that could sharpen China's tech edge in its competition with the United States. In a one-line statement, China's state planning agency says it's prohibiting foreign investment in Manus.
And requires the parties involved to undo the acquisition. That could prove complicated. Metas says the transaction complied fully with the applicable law, and the company anticipates an appropriate resolution. John Ruach and PR news.
