Chapter 1: What recent developments are occurring in the Middle East conflict?
No let up in the conflict. I'm Chris DiMeo. Fox News strikes continue in the Middle East with President Trump pushing for ceasefire talks. Fox's Jonathan Hunt has more from Tel Aviv.
Even as President Trump extends his deadline to give peace talks one more chance, he is apparently weighing sending thousands more U.S. troops. troops to the region to give himself more military options if those talks fail. This as Iran continues to strike at its Gulf neighbors and at Israel.
The speaker of its parliament saying, quote, no one can issue an ultimatum to Iran and the Iranian people. Your children will not let this opportunity slip away until the realization of victory and the breaking of of the ominous cycle of war, ceasefire, war.
The Iran-backed Houthi rebel group announcing that they were ready to join the war if needed, a decision that could further upend global shipping routes.
Chapter 2: How is President Trump's approval rating impacting his policies?
While several issues appear to be weighing on President Trump, the latest poll numbers show his approval rating is slipping.
New Fox polls show 41 percent approve of the job he's doing. That's down two points from a month ago and eight points from a year ago. This as the DHS shutdown drags on. New Fox polls show nearly a third of Americans, 27 percent, are living paycheck to paycheck. President Trump says Americans are mad at congressional Democrats.
They're actually angry at Schumer.
But voters are giving Trump negative marks on the economy. His approval now at 34 percent, down six points from January. On inflation, only 28 percent approve. Overall, 75 percent of voters believe the economy's in bad shape. And that number moved five points in the wrong direction since the start of the year.

Fox's Jillian Turner at the State Department. It's been two years since Baltimore's Key Bridge collapsed, which left six construction workers dead.
Heavy cranes driving piles for a foundation in the river. But the ballooning costs and major delays are hampering progress. Despite Maryland officials saying they're making progress, there's little to show for.
Chapter 4: How is AI being used as a tool in international conflicts?
Now, the original estimate for the bridge was at just under $2 billion with a completion date of 2028. Now the cost is projected more than double and it won't open before 2030. As critics say, there's questions now over whether Congress will support rising costs.
And the governor says that he is amazed at how much the port of Baltimore has recovered, saying they set a record last year with the highest volume of container ships.
