reports. It's been nine and a half months since the U.S. military seized then Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro and imprisoned him in New York to face drug charges.

For NPR News, I'm Catherine Osborne in Rio de Janeiro.
A federal judge has scheduled a hearing tomorrow for three media organizations suing the government after President Trump barred them from the White House. CNN, MS Now, and politicos say it's a clear First Amendment violation. The President claims they are quote fake news. Paramount Skydance is one step closer to a $111 billion deal to merge with Warner Brothers Discovery.

Mathematicians say they're still trying to understand a solution to one of the field's most challenging problems. It was published by OpenAI, but critics say the company did a poor job of showing its work, as NPR's Jeff
Brumfield reports. OpenAI claims to have solved the Navier Stokes problem, a notoriously tough puzzle having to do with fluid dynamics.
How is OpenAI’s claimed solution to the Navier‑Stokes problem being evaluated by mathematicians?
In a blog post published earlier this month, the company boasted it had used its immense computing power and cutting edge AI to come up with a solution in a matter of hours. Unfortunately, it's taking weeks for human mathematicians to decipher the AI's answer. Javier Gomez Serrano is with Brown University. He says the problem is that the one hundred sixty-six page proof is poorly written.
Mm it's not written for humans. And the paper doesn't explain What parts are important?
Gomez Serrano does believe the solution is right, but it will take extra human effort to figure out why.
