Ukraine's president says it would be "very difficult" for his country to survive without U.S. military support. Zelensky told NBC's Meet the Press he doesn't want to think about it, but Ukraine would have a "low chance" of survival without the U.S. President Trump spoke with Zelensky and Russian President Putin this week as he pushes to end the nearly three-year-long Russia-Ukraine war. 
President Trump is looking to end COVID-19 vaccine mandates in schools. He signed an executive order Friday that will bar schools that still have mandates from receiving federal funds. Trump had promised to withhold funding from schools that had vaccine or mask mandates during his campaign. A federal judge is temporarily halting the mass firings at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The court order comes after several groups sued the agency and its acting director earlier this week. The judge said CFPB employees can't be terminated without cause. Pope Francis is in the hospital. The 88-year-old Pontiff was admitted to a hospital in Rome this morning for what the Vatican said was treatment for bronchitis and diagnostic testing. Today's development is just the latest in a years-long string of concerns over the health of the leader of the world's one-point-three billion Catholics. A Missouri man is taking a plea deal after shooting a Black teenager in the head when he mistakenly went to the wrong house. Ralph Yarl, who was 16 at the time, was picking up his brothers when he accidentally went to Andrew Lester's house in 2023. Lester was facing multiple charges and initially maintained his innocence, but on Friday he struck a deal and pled guilty to second-degree assault. The jury in ASAP Rocky's assault trial will begin deliberations next week. The Los Angeles jury received the case late Friday. The rapper's been charged with two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm in connection with a 2021 shooting.
