⌨
The Los Angeles fires reached critical status as officials issued rare "PDS" warnings for returning winds. Death toll reached 25, with evacuations expanding to 84,000 people. Pacific Palisades residents filed lawsuits against the city, while investigations revealed officials had failed to pre-position engines in high-risk areas.
Two major confirmation hearings dominated midday coverage: Pete Hegseth for Defense and Pam Bondi for Attorney General. Both faced Democratic opposition over independence from Trump, while Republicans praised their vision for departmental reforms.
By evening, Qatar announced a breakthrough in Israel-Hamas negotiations, with a 42-day ceasefire agreement set to begin Sunday. The deal includes phased hostage releases and prisoner exchanges. Separately, South Korea's President Yoon became the first sitting president to face detention following his martial law declaration.
