The White House has never seen anything like the UFC show President Donald Trump is hosting to celebrate his 80th birthday and the nation’s 250th anniversary. UFC Freedom 250 is bringing seven fights within an eight-sided, wire-mesh cage to the White House South Lawn on Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern. The event is taking place against the backdrop of the United States’ unpopular and costly war against Iran. An agreement to end the conflict could be close, but the crucial details are still to be negotiated.
U.S. President Donald Trump has urged no further attacks after the Israeli military said it launched strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut's southern suburbs. Trump emphasized that a deal to end the U.S.-Iran war was near. Officials in Lebanon said three people were killed and 16 were wounded. Iran threatened a military response. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier defied Trump's request to halt strikes and cited attacks on northern Israel by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah. Qatari mediators traveled to Tehran to finalize the agreement. The emerging deal is a disappointment to Israel’s government, which has been sidelined in negotiations.
Tyra Banks has filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix and the directors of “Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model.” She contends in the lawsuit filed Saturday that they edited her interviews to create a false narrative. Banks says she was interviewed for over three hours, but the footage was cut to 16 minutes and misrepresented her statements. Her lawyers allege that the edits suggest Banks allowed a contestant to be assaulted and used it for ratings. Banks is seeking damages and an injunction against using her image on a related album. Emails seeking comment were sent Sunday to representatives for the defendants and for Banks.
