Court rulings against parts of Donald Trump's agenda put White House officials on the defensive. Hamas says it will not release hostages this weekend after accusing Israel of not following the terms of the ceasefire agreement. And a bustling pizza shop in Philadelphia provides stability for formerly incarcerated people.

As President Donald Trump's second administration continued its effort to swiftly reshape the federal government, a union representing foreign service officers at the U.S. Agency for International Development accused the administration of failing to comply with last week’s temporary restraining order to prevent the dismantling of USAID.

Hamas says it will release the next group of three Israeli hostages as planned. That would pave the way toward resolving a major dispute over the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Michelle O'Neill and Mary Lou McDonald will boycott the event in light of Donald Trump's suggestion that Palestinians should be relocated from Gaza under his "takeover" plan.
