murder charges

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Prosecutors say Rob Reiner’s son Nick Reiner will be charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the killing of his parents. Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman announced the charges against 32-year-old Nick Reiner at a news conference on Tuesday.

Trump expands

travel ban

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration has announced an expansion of travel restrictions to include 20 more countries. This move doubles the number of nations affected by previous limits on travel and immigration to the U.S.

The administration cites national security concerns, including the arrest of an Afghan national suspect, as reasons for the expansion, among others. Critics argue it unfairly targets a broad range of countries. The restrictions exempt those with visas, lawful permanent residents, and certain visa categories. It’s unclear when these new restrictions will take effect.

The expansion includes full bans and partial restrictions on various countries.

Brown shooting

suspect at large

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Authorities have released a new video timeline and a slightly clearer image of the man suspected in the Brown University shooting. They provided no indication Tuesday that they were any closer to zeroing in on his identity.

Investigators have been canvassing Providence homes, yards and dumpsters in search of videos or other clues. Saturday’s campus shooting killed two students and wounded nine others. In all of the videos made public, the suspect’s face was masked or turned away.

Authorities have only been able to give a vague description of him. In the new video timeline, footage shows the man running along quiet streets before the attack.

Ukraine works

on peace plan

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says peace proposals for U.S. officials to present to Russia could be finalized within days. He said late Monday a draft peace plan discussed in Berlin with American and European officials is “very workable.” But issues like the status of Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia remain unresolved. U.S.-led peace efforts are gaining momentum. But Russian President Vladimir Putin may resist some proposals including security guarantees for Ukraine.

Zelenskyy reiterated that Kyiv won’t recognize Moscow’s control over any part of the Donbas. Ukraine expects increased Western pressure on Moscow including tougher sanctions and military support if diplomacy fails. Zelenskky is visiting the Netherlands on Tuesday.
