"Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Skivone.
President Trump's name was removed from the Kennedy Center this morning, a court filing
“says, ahead of the noon deadline, NPR's Frank Langfit has details on how the Kennedy Center”
was forced to strip Trump's name from the building under court order." Crystal Brewer was among the crowd who came to document the event late Friday. She said moving Trump's name was a way to reclaim a piece of Washington from a president who's tried to put his stamp on the nation's capital. "Check some balances, accountability, it's about not being able to do something just
because you think you're the most powerful person and you can defy the courts."
A federal judge ruled that adding Trump's name to the center was illegal and required congressional approval. Workers drape the facade in tarps early Saturday, which prevented the crowd from documenting the historic reversal. Bruce said she thought it was also an attempt to spare the president for their humiliation.
Frank Langfit and PR news, Washington. Pakistan, which is mediating peace talks between Iran and the United States, has said
“it expects an agreement to be finalized in the next 24 hours.”
The Pakistani Prime Minister said he was prepared for the troops to be signed immediately afterwards. The BBC's Joe Inwood has more. This is the strongest signal yet that an agreement has been reached. Over the last 48 hours, first the Americans, then the Iranians, and now the Pakistani
mediators, have said they expect something to be signed this weekend. Prime Minister Shabbaz Sharif posted on social media that "we are closer to a peace deal than ever before, with finalization in the next 24 hours." But what he's talking about is not actually a full peace deal, but a memorandum of understanding that would reopen the straight to full moves and most likely begin unfreezing Iranian assets.
The BBC's Joe Inwood reporting, the U.S. Justice Department has given its seal of approval for allies of President Trump to merge two Hollywood titans, Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery.
“But as NPR's David Folkan flick reports, it's likely not to and the story.”
The $111 billion deal would put Paramount pictures and Warner Brothers studios under the same
roof, same for HBO and Paramount Plus, CBS and CNN. The Justice Department cited the major streamers that's Netflix Amazon and Apple in saying "competition wouldn't be hurt in Hollywood, and neither would consumers." Trump has said he wants the deal to go through so CNN would be run like CBS news. The new editor-in-chief at CBS has had a rocky go.
Her brief tenure has been marked by crisis and accusations of ideological bias. Trump's pick as head of the Federal Communications Commission is signaled he's likely to approve the deal too, but authorities in the UK and Europe are still reviewing it. And several Democratic states attorneys general are investigating. They may sue to block the merger.
