2.63 - 14.767 Lisa Lucera

President Trump says he was not briefed about the potential of Iran retaliating against regional neighbors like Qatar, the UAE, and Kuwait. All these countries are getting hit. There was no expert that would say that was going to happen. It's not a question of like, gee, should you have known? And if we did know, big deal.

33.424 - 50.001 Unknown

I mean, we have to do what we have to do. The president also says the U.S. has estimated much of Iran's ability to launch attacks, including targeting its Navy, Air Force and ballistic missiles. Asked if that meant the war could end within days. President Trump replied it's likely to be wrapped up soon.

The Supreme Court will heal arguments on the Trump administration's attempt to remove protected status of refugees from certain countries, including Haiti and Syria.

95.763 - 115.017 Unknown

Protected status was established by Congress in 1990, giving foreign nationals fleeing situations, such as natural disasters or war, the right to remain in the U.S. by designation of the Department of Homeland Security. DHS Secretary Christine Ohm signaled an end to that in Haiti's case last year.

Among the countries most successful at quitting smoking is Brazil, where the number has dropped by more than a third.
