What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Tensions grow. I'm Deborah Valentine, Fox News. President Trump weighing military action against Iran as the country's crackdown on anti-regime protests has reportedly claimed thousands of lives. He's also telling Tehran to drop its nuclear ambitions.
Protesters say there are crimes against humanity taking place. President Trump has said help is on the way.
What military actions is President Trump considering against Iran?
Right now, air defense systems and strike aircraft are being rushed into the region. Jets used in the Maduro raid are arriving in the Middle East. B-52 bombers have arrived in Guam. And at sea, there are now eight American guided missile destroyers on station right now. That's over 750 missile tubes that can fire Tomahawk cruise missiles deep inside Iran or missile interceptors should Iran launch short or medium range ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in the region or Israel. There are also U.S. Navy submarines lurking beneath the sea, their names and locations classified.
Fox's Lucas Tomlinson reporting. Talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine could take place today.
Last week's meeting in the United Arab Emirates was described as productive. It was the first time there had been negotiations involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States since the war in Ukraine began in 2022. The main issue standing between war and peace is territory. Russia wants more of it. Ukraine won't give up land its soldiers shed blood to defend. Both sides say the other appears in no mood to compromise. President Trump's top envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, were at last week's talks. But according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, neither will represent the U.S. today. Jonathan Savage, Fox News.

Israel is set to reopen the Rafah crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. Fox's Chanley Painter reports.
Hospitals in Egypt are on alert as the Rafah border crossing with Gaza is set to partially reopen for the first time in two years. Dozens of ambulances are waiting to receive wounded Palestinians. Officials say only a small number will be allowed to cross each day pending Egyptian and Israeli approval. The reopening comes amid continued violence in Gaza during the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. At least 30 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Sunday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the reopening was contingent on the return of all living hostages, along with the recovery and return of deceased hostages held by Hamas. The crossing has been closed since May of 2024. A powerful coastal storm rapidly intensifies into a dangerous bomb cyclone, dropping strong winds and heavy snow across the southeast.
We've got tropical storm for sustained winds. These are running about 45 miles an hour. Up at southern shores, they've had five inches so far. And through Sunday morning, we're going to pick up another four to six inches of snow. And the winds will gust upwards of 60, potentially 70 miles an hour. So we could have some sporadic power outages as we get the first light here on Sunday morning. Meanwhile, looking down the beach, I think our visibility is about a half a mile. So I'm going to call this moderate snow. This is about a half an inch to an inch an hour.
Fox Weather's Mike Seidel reporting from Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Democrat Christian Menefee, a former attorney, has won a special congressional election in a left-leaning congressional district in Texas.
