Lindsay Clancy's defense attorney is asking President Trump to pardon his client after a Massachusetts jury deadlocked over whether she was criminally responsible for the fatal strangling of her three young children. In an interview with Good Morning America that aired today, Kevin Ruddington made an unusual request to the White House. "I'd like to say that perhaps Donald Trump, who felt compelled to speak out about this case, made very well, Mr. President, I would hope that you would consider this young lady, type of person she is, what she's been through, and consider a pardon." The Iranian President has vowed to keep fighting as the Saudi Arabians suffer an attack from the Houthi terror group, Foreign Affairs reporter Cassia Kiva's latest. Oil prices are nearing $100 a barrel as conflicts in the Middle East threatens energy supplies across the region. Iran backed Houthi's launch a major attack on Southern Saudi Arabia, wounding dozens of civilians in hitting energy facilities. Fires temporarily disrupted some operations according to the Saudi government, and Iranian President Masood Pezikshan vowed that Tehran will continue fighting against the U.S. and Israeli aggression, saying that Iran will "continue this resistance with full strength until the aggressors are brought to complete regret." Pezikshan added that Iran has always opposed the war, but will continue defending itself in "remain the guardian of the rights of the great Iranian nation." An Amazon cargo plane crash in Miami has left five dead. The plane, a 32-year-old Boeing 767, originated in San Juan, Puerto Rico before attempting to land at Miami International Airport. Early reports indicate that the pilots landed halfway down the runway, and were unable to stop. The plane then traveled around 1,300 feet past the end of the runway, exiting airport property and striking multiple vehicles. The National Transportation Safety Board has stated that both pilots, the only souls on board survived the crash. Five individuals on the ground, however, were killed. Five more are critically injured. The full cause of the crash is still under investigation. New Canadian tariffs on roughly $20 billion in American goods took effect today, so she a producer and Canadian correspondent Wyatt Harms has more. This is the latest escalation in a trade war between the two longtime allies, with tariffs hitting U.S. clothing, cheese, and raw materials, and mirroring the tariffs Trump imposed on Canada last month, after trade talks collapsed. President Trump is projecting strength on social media, posting on truth social hours after the tariffs, quote, "no more selling bombardier in the United States." He then accused Canada of exploiting U.S. banks and companies, and urged consumers to buy American. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed to continue to match any U.S. tariff with his own, signaling no end to the trade war. A Sunday afternoon hike to the clouds turned into an absolute nightmare in Russia's North Caucasus Mountains, when a colossal avalanche roared down Mount Mesurgi, killing at least 11 climbers and leaving six others missing. The deadly mountain wall of ice snow and debris slammed into a group of 33 mountaineers at about 5 p.m. local time. Shocking, footage captured the exact moment a hanging glacier appeared to give way. By Monday morning, 10 survivors had scrambled down on their own power while six wounded victims were airlifted to nearby hospitals. More than 50 rescuers backed by helicopters are frantically probing the snow for the missing six souls. However, officials warn that brutal terrain and a looming threat of secondary slides are severely crippling the operation. Freedom is not guaranteed.

Employees at the Eiffel Tower went on strike yesterday after two female workers were asked to leave to accommodate a Hindu religious group. Cultural reporter Megan Basham has a story. Around a hundred members of the Hindu group known as BAPS planned to tour the tower over the weekend. The group stated beforehand that their religion requires them not to have any contact with women. As a result, two female employees were asked to leave, causing uproar among staff and French politicians alike. Paris Mayor, Emmanuel Gregor, responded to the incident, writing, "It is not acceptable that such conditions can be tolerated." The added that the employee's dissatisfaction is legitimate. The society de exploitation de la Tour Eiffel, which operates tours of the Eiffel Tower, confirmed that the group requested no contact with women, but confirmed that, quote, "these conditions should not have been accepted." Tower employees walked out following the incident, causing the landmark to close on Monday. New York City Mayor Zoraan Mamdani said Monday he intends to attend Friday's 25th anniversary 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at Ground Zero. Breshing aside public objections from former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former governor George Pataki, both of whom have urged him to stay home, speaking ahead of Brooklyn's West Indian American Day Parade, which already saw three stabbings as of Monday morning. Mamdani told reporters that he would use the week to spotlight the families whose loved ones were stolen from them and the first responders who died trying to save others. He would become the first Muslim Mayor to attend the city's official ceremony. Giuliani appearing on Newsmax over the weekend said he would be personally offended if Mamdani showed up and accused the Mayor of doubting that the attacks constituted terrorism. Pataki has separately said Mamdani should either disavow, quote, "extremist views against America in his political orbit or skip the ceremony out of deference to the victim's families." A reporter asked Mamdani about the protest to his attendants and he had this to say. "I'm proud to be the Mayor of the city. I love this city. I love this country. And what I want this week to be a focus on is on the families whose loved ones were stolen from them 25 years ago in the horrific act of terror of September 11th. And a focus also on the first responders who gave everything they could to this city and to the people who came together to try and help their fellow New Yorkers. And so in the days to come, my focus will be on attending events that memorialize as that incredible courage, and I will be there on Friday at the memorial just as I was last year." "Did you see Giuliani's comments and did you have any thoughts?" "I don't have much more to add." Austria's ban on headscarves and schools has come into effect this week. The new laws ban Muslim-style headscarves for girls 14 and younger. Claudia Bauer, a top Austrian official and member of the Conservative People's Party, described the headscarf as, quote, "a sign of oppression and a means of controlling girls from the earliest childhood." While just 8% of Austria's population is Muslim, data indicates that around 35% of students at primary schools in Vienna, the country's most popular city are Muslim. The Council on American Islamic Relations, a radical pro-Islam group based in Washington, D.C., claimed Austria's law was fascist and a, quote, "transparently bigoted attack on the Austrian Muslim community." But Yannick Shetty, a supporter of the ban and member of the Liberal Neos Party, said the proposal is, quote, "not a measure against a religion, it's a measure to protect the freedom of girls in this country." Jamaica formally petitioned King Charles III on Monday for essentially reparations over the slave trade. Daily Wire Reporter Zach Jewel has more. The petition asks the King to refer three legal questions on Britain's historical role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, making it the first time a Commonwealth nation has attempted this route in pursuit of reparations. The petition led by Jamaican Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia Grange, invokes the Judicial Committee Act of 1833. It asks whether the forced transport and enslavement of Africans in Jamaica violated English common law, whether it amounted to a breach of international law and whether Britain bears a legal obligation to provide a remedy. The filing was timed to the anniversary of the 1781 departure of the Zong, a Liverpool registered slave ship whose crew threw more than 130 captives overboard, an atrocity that later galvanized Britain's abolitionist movement. The petition carries the backing of the 23 member Caribbean community, positioning Jamaica as the lead test case for a broader regional reparations campaign, which, if considered seriously. could run up a cost to the tune of billions. And President Trump sparked new controversy after posting a map on truth social, renaming New Mexico, quote, "New America." Trump later said the name change had been suggested by others and mocked New Mexico as a long time, quote, "vote cheating state." The post drew a media backlash from New Mexico Democrats, including Governor Michelle Luhan Grisham and former Biden interior secretary Deb Holland, who's running for governor. Trump wrote on X-Quote, "New Mexico's name isn't up for debate. It's been ours since before the United States existed." New Mexico joined the United States in 1912, but has not voted Republican for President since George W. Bush carried the state in 2004.
