What did the Federal Appeals Court decide about President Trump's immunity in the Jean Carroll defamation case?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman, a Federal Appeals Court panel has denied President Trump's effort to overturn a jury verdict against him in a case involving writer E. Jean Carroll. A jury had determined that Trump defamed Carroll in 2022. This was after the same jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing her in a store in 1996. Trump has been ordered to pay more than eighty three million dollars in damages. The Federal Appeals Court panel rejected Trump's call for presidential immunity. Police in Jerusalem say six people were killed by two Palestinian gunmen at a busy bus stop in Jerusalem today. Hamas praised the attack but did not take responsibility.
How did the Jerusalem bus‑stop attack unfold and what was Israel’s response?
An Israeli security officer and civilians shot and killed the two attackers. Ізраїль'сферен Министер Гідян Сар сейс інтернатий лідера мас реконізти держав Ізраїль фази в терорист.

Yesterday Israel said it was seriously considering President Trump's new proposal for a Gaza ceasefire. The Prime Minister of France is expected to lose today's vote of confidence in the French Parliament, and Pierre's Eleanor Beardsley reports from Paris, the vote was called to draw attention to the country's rising debts.
Why is France’s vote of confidence at risk and what are the proposed budget cuts?
Francois Bayrou told Parliament the burgeoning debt is a Damocles sword that threatens France. Bayreux wants to cut some fifty one billion dollars from the budget and is seeking support, but his cuts are not popular and the far right and far left, which have the largest blocks in Parliament, say they will vote against him. If President Macron's fifth prime minister since twenty seventeen falls, he'll have a difficult time getting approval for a new one as Macron no longer has a majority in Parliament. The collapse of this government would further weaken Macron at a time when France and Europe must be strong to confront a resurgent Russia and China and President Trump's America First policies. Eleanor Beardsley in Pierre News, Paris.
A peace vigil that stood outside of the White House for nearly forty-five years is largely gone. The Trump administration dismantled it over the weekend. Pierre's Kristen Wright reports.
Federal law enforcement officials took down the peace vigil across from the White House on Sunday.
Why was the long‑standing White House peace vigil removed and what legal issues were raised?
The small demonstration had been there since 1981 as a call for nuclear disarmament and world peace. All these years, activists stayed at the vigil around the clock in peaceful protest. But at a White House event on Friday, a correspondent for a conservative network told President Trump the vigil's tent was an eyesore. Trump has been ordering the clearing of tents and homeless encampments around the city. He directed the removal of the vigil, and a White House statement. to the Associated Press said it was a hazard. Those who'd been manning it though say their First Amendment rights have been violated. Kristen Wright, NPR News, Washington.
On Wall Street, the Dow was up eighty seven points, its NPR. Federal immigration officials say they've launched fresh operations in Massachusetts. They say they're searching for undocumented migrants. This comes after White House border czar Tom Homan warned that immigration enforcement would step up this week in sanctuary cities across the U.S. President Trump says immigration officials were doing their job when they arrested about four hundred seventy-five people at a car plant last week in Georgia. At the same time, Trump says something needs to be done to allow experts into the US to help train Americans in advanced industries. He's also calling on foreign companies investing in the US to respect America's immigration laws.
Immigration officials say last week's raid was the largest in the organization's history. Chrysler is recalling one of its most popular SUVs because of a safety defect, and Pierre Chandelis Duster reports.
