It’s unclear if the two sides are focused just on Iran’s nuclear program or other issues like the country’s ballistic missiles. Adding to the sense of malaise, Iran conducted military exercises with cruise missiles and boats as the talks were underway, briefly closing the Strait of Hormuz. The major US military buildup Trump has ordered around Iran is also intended to apply pressure. Lingering uncertainties around what the US might hope to achieve through military action in Iran may also motivate Trump to allow extended negotiations. Trump, meanwhile, said last week that regime change in Iran — presumably including Khamenei’s ouster — would be the “best thing that could happen.”

What Colbert meant is that CBS is bowing to political pressure because of Paramount Skydance, the network’s parent company. AdvertisementCBS denied that Colbert was forbidden from airing the Talarico interview in a statement. “THE LATE SHOW was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico,” the statement read. But media reporter Oliver Darcy reported that Cooper left because of the “rightward direction the network has taken” and management’s increasing interference with “60 Minutes’” reporting. CBS continued to distort its coverage following a Trump attack on Paramount Skydance after it opened its hostile takeover bid to purchase Warner Bros.

When the San Francisco Giants made the unprecedented decision to hire Tony Vitello as their next manager, it was understood that there would be some hiccups along the way. It came from the most surprising of places: a controlled environment, with some microphones and mild-mannered reporters in his face. “It’s funny you say that,” he smirked, despite it being obvious that it was what Slusser would say. It stood in stark contrast to the last memorable time that a Giants manager eschewed questions and instead opened his Spring Training scrum with his own thoughts. Vitello, like so many others in professional sports over the years, appeared upset at the media for an accurate report.

(AP Photo/Lewis Joly)PARIS -- Gisèle Pelicot’s memoir was released on Tuesday in 22 languages worldwide, sharing details of the horror she went through and sending a powerful message of hope and support to victims of sexual abuse. “Today I’m doing better, and this book allowed me to engage in self-reflection, to take stock of my life,” she said. “Gisèle has demonstrated to the world that it’s not for victims of sexual abuse to feel shame — it’s the perpetrators,” Biles said. Dominique Pelicot, whom Gisèle Pelicot had been married to for nearly 50 years, acknowledged that for years he mixed sedatives into her food and drink so he could rape her and invite other men to do the same. The unprecedented trial exposed how online pornography, chat rooms and distorted notions of consent can fuel sexual violence.

President Donald Trump's approval has reached a new lowCNN's usual programming was halted for a breaking alert, as presenter Kate Bouldan was joined by political analyst Harry Enten, who revealed that President Donald Trump's approval rating among American voters had declined sharply. The broadcaster announced: "Some bad news in the polling for President Trump, his approval rating hitting new lows." Alongside a graphic highlighting the downturn, Harry brutally stated: "There's this question that folks keep asking, 'where is the floor for Donald Trump?'" "I'm not sure there is a floor because if there is one, Donald Trump, at least in term two, has just fallen through it to another low level," the analyst slammed. NEW: Trump’s approval just hit a new low across FOUR major polls.

US Reverses Major Climate RuleLast Thursday, US President Donald Trump announced that his government has gotten rid of an important rule which says that the pollution causing global warming is dangerous. The decision was an important step in the US government’s efforts to fight climate change. And now, in 2026, there is even more proof that greenhouse gases are causing climate change than there was in 2009. The EPA’s new position may also make it harder for future US presidents to take action on climate change. Without the endangerment finding, any new climate rules might have to be approved by Congress.

“This is my second tour of duty at CNN,” Griggs said at CES 2026 in this conversation with Lisa Granatstein of Beet.TV. “When you add on precision to scale, that’s like putting scale on steroids and that comes through context and credibility,” Griggs said. Trust turns impressions into partnershipsAs partnerships move past selling impressions, Griggs keeps it simple and a little romantic. “When you have that trust, that’s when the magic happens,” Griggs added. Knowing the audience better opens the door to smarter tools and smarter advertising.

Today, we also take a detailed look at how negotiations on a revised Colorado River compact failed spectacularly and what may come next. The wind gusts today are expected to be.....Forecast maximum wind gusts today on the Plains. (Pivotal Weather)Fire weather is defined as “extremely critical” in western Nebraska, northwest Kansas, and northeast Colorado today, a high-end day for this region. Given the dreadfully low snowpack this winter in the Colorado Basin, with the upper basin running near record low levels and the timing of this arriving trainwreck, it’s very bad news. The problem right now is that the Upper Basin states (Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico) don’t want to take mandatory cuts in their water use.

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych came to the Olympics with a helmet designed by artist Iryna Prots that depicted portraits of 24 Ukrainian athletes killed in Russia’s war with Ukraine. It’s no surprise that a Ukrainian Olympic athlete would use his global platform to make a powerful statement (Russia Matters, 2026). This intersectionality between politics and the Olympic games doesn’t always manifest in an outward political demonstration. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics. Ukrainian star disqualified from Winter Olympics over helmet honoring war dead.

As he wrote to Epstein at the time: “First we need to push back on the lies; then crush the pedo/trafficking narrative; then rebuild your image as philanthropist.”This man, who wanted to help Jeffrey Epstein “crush the pedo/trafficking narrative,” is the voice of one of the world’s most influential conservative podcasts. Reporters who wrote about Epstein are “in the Epstein files” by way of association, which does not and should not imply anything negative about them. But when people say that an individual is “in the Epstein files,” it’s connections like Steve Bannon that they’re talking about. In what world can you say that you’ll help “crush the pedo/trafficking narrative” to Jeffrey Epstein and be welcomed back into American society? Even in a nest of hypocrites, Steve Bannon should be cast out and left to rot.
