The BBC will ask a judge to dismiss U.S. President Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the broadcaster. Trump filed the lawsuit in December, claiming defamation and unfair trade practices over a documentary that edited a speech he made on Jan. 6, 2021, before his supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington. The BBC apologized for the edit but denies defamation. Papers filed Monday in Florida say the BBC will argue the court lacks jurisdiction and that Trump failed to state a claim. The broadcaster's lawyers will also argue the documentary wasn't available to watch in the U.S. If the case continues, a trial is proposed for 2027.

Eleven central bankers from around the world have expressed full support for U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. This comes after President Donald Trump escalates his confrontation with the Fed by threatening criminal charges. The central bankers, including European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, emphasize the importance of central bank independence for economic stability. The dispute centers on Powell’s congressional testimony in June. Trump criticizes Powell for not cutting rates faster. Economists warn that a politicized Fed could harm its credibility. The statement highlights the need to preserve central bank independence with respect for the rule of law.

Russia has launched another major drone and missile attack on Ukraine that targeted the country's power grid. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that Russia fired nearly 300 drones, 18 ballistic missiles and seven cruise missiles at eight regions overnight. A strike in the Kharkiv region killed four people. The attack left several hundred thousand households without power in the Kyiv region. Russia launched a similar attack four days earlier in which Moscow used a powerful hypersonic missile. The United States has accused Russia of escalating the conflict. Ukraine is seeking quicker air defense deliveries from the U.S. and Europe to counter these attacks.

Iranians could call abroad on mobile phones for the first time since communications were halted during a crackdown on protests in which activists say at least 646 people have been killed. Several people in Tehran were able to call The Associated Press and speak to a journalist. But the AP could not call them back, and text messaging and internet use were still curbed. The witnesses described heavy security in the Iranian capital Tuesday. They said several banks and government offices were burned during the unrest. U.S. President Donald Trump has said Iran wants to negotiate with Washington and on Monday he announced tariffs against countries trading with Iran in response to the crackdown.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence chatbot Grok will join Google’s AI engine inside the Pentagon network. Hegseth made the announcement Monday at Musk's SpaceX company in South Texas as part of a push to integrate as much military data as possible into the developing technology. It follows global criticism of Grok for generating sexualized deepfake images of people without their consent. Hegseth says he would “make all appropriate data” from the military’s IT systems available for “AI exploitation.” He also said data from intelligence databases would be fed into AI systems.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is visiting China this week to mend relations with the world's second-largest economy. It's the first visit by a Canadian leader in eight years. Carney aims to double non-U.S. exports over the next decade to reduce Canada’s reliance on Washington. The push is part of a major rethink as ties with the U.S. sour under President Donald Trump. Carney took office less than a year ago. He follows other leaders like Anthony Albanese of Australia and Keir Starmer of the U.K. in seeking to improve ties with China. Carney will also visit Qatar and attend the World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Carney's arrives in China on Wednesday.

Houston’s stingy defense knocked Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers out of the NFL playoffs, sending the Texans to the divisional round to complete wild-card weekend. The Texans sacked Rodgers four times, scored two defensive touchdowns and held Pittsburgh to 175 yards in a 30-6 victory on Monday night. It was Houston’s 10th straight win and the franchise’s first on the road in the playoffs. Houston will face New England on the road next Sunday.

The Trump administration’s criminal investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has sparked a backlash that may undermine the White House’s goals. Powell himself has said the investigation is an attempt to exert more control over the Fed. Several Republican senators have condemned the Department of Justice’s subpoenas of the Fed, which Powell revealed Sunday and characterized as “pretexts” to pressure him to sharply cut interest rates, as Trump has demanded. Powell also said Justice has threatened criminal indictments over his June testimony to Congress about a building renovation.

A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration acted illegally when it canceled $7.6 billion in clean energy grants for projects in states that voted for Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. The grants supported hundreds of clean energy projects in 16 states, including battery plants, hydrogen technology projects, upgrades to the electric grid and efforts to capture carbon dioxide emissions. The Energy Department said the projects were terminated after a review determined they did not adequately advance the nation’s energy needs or were not economically viable. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta said the administration's actions violated the Constitution’s equal protection requirements.

A bipartisan U.S. congressional delegation is headed to Copenhagen later this week to show unity with Denmark amid tensions over Greenland. Sen. Chris Coons is leading the trip, which includes at least nine members of Congress. They plan to meet with Danish and Greenlandic officials on Friday and Saturday. Coons emphasized the importance of the U.S.-Denmark alliance, especially after recent statements by President Trump about acquiring Greenland. Tensions have grown as Trump suggests taking Greenland to prevent Russian or Chinese control. Danish and Greenlandic leaders insist Greenland's future must be decided by its people.

President Donald Trump has arrived at a delicate moment as he weighs whether to order a U.S. military response against the Iranian government over its crackdown on protests. Trump has repeatedly threatened Tehran with military action if the Islamic Republic was found using deadly force against antigovernment protesters. But now, with Iranian officials indicating they want to have talks with the White House about the protests, the U.S. military appears to be on standby mode. Trump said Monday he would slap 25% tariffs on countries doing business with Tehran, a move that could affect China, the United Arab Emirates and Turkey.

The Trump administration's immigration enforcement tactics are sparking debate over federal agents' authority to enter private property. There have been arrests in recent months at day care centers, apartments and medical buildings. On Sunday, agents forcibly entered a Minneapolis home to make an arrest. Legal experts question the use of administrative warrants for these arrests on private property, since those legal documents don't authorize entry into private residences. Only criminal warrants, signed by a judge, allow such actions. "Know-your-rights" campaigns are educating people on these legal distinctions.

The FBI says in a court document that it has found no surveillance or other video of a Border Patrol agent shooting and wounding two people in a pickup truck during an immigration enforcement operation in Portland, Oregon, last week. Agents told investigators that one of their colleagues opened fire Thursday after the driver put the truck in reverse and slammed into an unoccupied car the agents had rented. The truck then pulled forward, and the agents said they feared for their own safety and that of the public. The driver, Luis David Nino-Moncada, made a federal court appearance Monday on charges of aggravated assault of an officer and damaging federal property.

The FBI says that an arson suspect admitted to targeting a historic Mississippi synagogue because it's a Jewish house of worship. Stephen Pittman was charged Monday with maliciously damaging or destroying a building by means of fire or an explosive. The weekend fire ripped through the Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson shortly after 3 a.m. on Saturday. No congregants or firefighters were injured in the blaze. Security camera footage released Monday by the synagogue showed a masked and hooded person using a gas can to pour a liquid on the floor and a couch in the building’s lobby.

A new video reveals the moments before a federal immigration officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security posted the video on Sunday. It shows officers and vehicles on a snowy street as a car horn blares. Renee Good, the woman inside a red SUV, presses the horn. After a minute, she moves the SUV slightly and appears to wave for other vehicles to pass her. A dark truck with flashing lights pulls up near her SUV. Officers exit and approach her car, and the video goes dark. Another video shows Good reversing and turning the wheel before gunshots are heard.
