U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is sharply criticizing major defense contractors, saying they have “conned” the military into paying inflated prices for equipment when cheaper commercial alternatives were available. Driscoll’s remarks came during a briefing this week, where he accused top defense firms of exploiting government incentives that encouraged overspending. He pointed to a widely cited example: a Black Hawk helicopter screen control knob that cost the Army $47,000 through a contractor, despite being manufacturable for as little as $15.

The BBC has issued an apology to President Donald Trump for a misleading edit of his January 6, 2021 speech, but the broadcaster said there is no basis for a defamation claim. The network’s chair, Samir Shah, sent a personal letter to the White House acknowledging that a documentary had spliced together remarks Trump made nearly an hour apart, creating a misleading impression. The BBC confirmed that it does not plan to rebroadcast the program. The apology comes after Trump’s legal team threatened a $1 billion lawsuit over the edited footage. The BBC said in a statement that while it regrets the misleading presentation, it strongly disagrees that the incident constitutes defamation, noting that the edit was not intended to misrepresent the president.

A man armed with a gun was fatally shot by New York City police on Thursday after a series of threatening encounters that spanned an apartment building, a deli, and a Manhattan hospital, according to the NYPD. Chief of Patrol Philip Rivera said the incident began around 7 p.m. when the man confronted another individual inside an elevator on the Upper East Side, pulling out a firearm and pointing it at him. Police say the man then went to a nearby deli, aimed the gun at a worker, and instructed him to call 911, claiming he planned to “shoot up” a hospital. The man briefly entered Mount Sinai Medical Center, placed the firearm on the ground, then picked it back up after telling an on-duty police officer he was armed. When the officer attempted to escort him out, a struggle ensued, and the man retrieved his weapon, prompting the officer to call for backup. The suspect then walked down the street, where responding officers encountered him. Rivera said the man immediately opened fire on officers as they exited their vehicles. Police returned fire, striking the man. He was transported to a hospital in a police vehicle and pronounced dead. Several officers were taken to the hospital for evaluation. Authorities have not released additional details about the man or his motives.

A North Carolina sheriff said Thursday that U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel are expected in Charlotte as soon as Saturday or early next week to start an enforcement operation. Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden said in a statement that two federal officials had confirmed that plan to him. His office declined to identify those officials. McFadden says details about the operation haven’t been disclosed, and his office hasn’t been asked to assist as the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown turns focus to North Carolina’s largest city. Activists, faith leaders, and local and state officials had already begun preparing the immigrant community, sharing information about resources and attempting to calm fears. A call organized by the group CharlotteEAST had nearly 500 people on it Wednesday. “The purpose of this call was to create a mutual aid network. It was an information resource sharing session,” said City Councilmember-Elect JD Mazuera Arias. “Let’s get as many people as possible aware of the helpers and who the people are that are doing the work that individuals can plug into, either as volunteers to donate to or those who are in need of support can turn to,” said CharlotteEAST executive director Greg Asciutto.

Statement from Sen. Fetterman’s Spokesperson: “During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock. Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh. Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries. Senator Fetterman had this to say: ‘If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’ He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted to stay so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen. Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care.”

The head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Thursday it would pay $10,000 bonuses to Transportation Security Administration officers who demonstrated exemplary service during the 43-day government shutdown, a spokesperson for the department said. President Donald Trump said this week he wanted to award $10,000 bonuses to air traffic controllers who did not skip work. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he would work with Congress on the awards. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the bonus checks were being awarded to TSA officers who took extra shifts and went above and beyond work requirements during the shutdown. "They were an example ... They helped individuals, they served extra shifts," Noem said. "They helped with transportation of people getting back and forth to work." Noem said the checks were aimed at helping families of workers get back on their feet after going without pay for six weeks. Some workers struggled to pay mortgages, child care or other essential costs. The government shutdown that ended on Wednesday forced 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 TSA officers to work without pay. Staffing issues snarled travel at airports in recent weeks, sometimes leading to long security lines because of TSA absences and tens of thousands of delayed and canceled flights due to a lack of air traffic controllers.

Why are so many young people questioning their faith—and what does it take to confront the toughest questions about God, truth, and culture? For today’s conversation, Pastor Greg Laurie talks with Christian apologist—and mentor to the late Charlie Kirk—Frank Turek for an honest, timely conversation about faith, evidence, and the future of the church. Together, Pastor Greg and Frank dig deep into what’s fueling today’s “deconstruction” trend among Christian youth, why so many leave the church after high school, and how technology, college campuses, and cultural pressures challenge the foundations of belief. No question is off-limits: from “Does science contradict the Bible?” to “Why does God allow suffering?” and “How do we respond to the transgender movement?”—every topic is handled with compassion and real-world insight. Frank also talks about his friend and mentee, Charlie Kirk, reflecting on his legacy and the explosive spiritual awakening our country has experienced following his tragic death. This conversation isn’t just for pastors or intellectuals—instead it’s for anyone seeking to grow in faith, love for their neighbor, and meaningfully engage as believers unafraid to compromise in a changing world.
