AP News. I'm Ed Donohue. Three months after it was announced, King Charles was being treated for cancer. Buckingham Palace says the King will resume his public duties next week. The plan is for a public visit to a cancer treatment center Tuesday. Charles took a break from public appearances to focus on his treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer. President Volodymyr Zelensky is getting his wish. The U.S. will provide Ukraine additional patriot missiles for its air defense systems as part of a massive $6 billion additional aid package. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin says there are more ways to help. I would point out that it's not just patriot that, you know, they need, they need other types of systems and interceptors as well. And so I would caution us all in terms of making patriot the silver bullet. I would say that it's going to be the integrated air and missile defense as we said so many times before that really turns a tie. Earlier today Zelensky discussed the need for patriots at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, a coalition of about 50 countries gathering virtually in a Pentagon-led meeting. There are more Palestinian demonstration. There are more pro-Palestinian demonstrations like this one at Arizona State University. We're here for a peaceful protest. We're not here to make us any violence or anything. We're just here for a peaceful protest to deliver a message, stop funding Israel and stop killing our people. That's all I think we're asking for. House Speaker Mike Johnson wants to put a stop to this. What Congress can do in addition to calling it out is that we also have the power of the person.

That's what we're looking at. A court in Romania's capital has ruled that a trial can start in the case of influencer Andrew Tate, who is charged with human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. The Bucharest Tribunal ruled that the prosecutor's case file against Tate met the legal criteria, but did not set a date for the trial to begin. Tate's spokesperson said the ruling will be appealed. Tate was arrested in December 2022 near Bucharest, along with his brother Tristan Tate and two Romanian women. Romanian prosecutors formally indicted all four in June last year. They've all denied the allegations. I'm Charles Teletesma.
