Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says U.S.
forces# destroyed a boat near Venezuela that he says was## trafficking narcotics.
He posted this video on# social media, saying that four narco-terrorists## were killed, but he offered no details on who they# were or if they were affiliated with any group.
In his own social media post, President Trump# said the boat was -- quote -- "loaded with## enough drugs to kill 25,000 to 50,000 people.
"# This is the fourth such strike in the Caribbean## this year and it comes a day after President Trump# declared drug cartels to be unlawful combatants.
Officials in the U.K.
say one of the two men# killed in yesterday's attack on a Manchester## synagogue may have been accidentally shot by# police.
They say preliminary forensic evidence## found the victim's wound was -- quote# -- "consistent with a gunshot injury."
Officers shot and killed the suspect after# he rammed a car into pedestrians outside## the synagogue and then attacked them with# a knife.
Police say he did not have a gun.## Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited# Manchester police headquarters today,## saying the incident would have# been worse without their efforts.
KEIR STARMER, British Prime Minister:# I have been to the scene to pay my## respects and to get a sense of what we# were confronted with.
I have also seen## the body-worn cameras and the footage# out of that.
And I am absolutely clear## in my mind as to the professionalism of# the response, the speed of the response.
GEOFF BENNETT: Today, dozens of people# attended a vigil for those lost in the## attack in the pouring rain.
The suspect has# been identified as a 35-year-old British## citizen of Syrian descent, and the crime# is being investigated as a terror attack.
Also today, the Church of England named Sarah# Mullally to serve as the 106th archbishop of## Canterbury.
The former cancer nurse will be# the first woman to take the role in more than## 1,400 years, leading more than 85 million# Anglicans worldwide.
In a speech today,## she thanked the women who came# before her as path breakers.## She extended a hand to the global Anglican# community and she promised to confront the## church's abuse scandal, which she said# left a legacy of deep harm and mistrust.
In New York City, a judge sentenced Sean# "Diddy" Combs to four years and two months## in prison this afternoon.
The disgraced hip-hop# mogul was convicted in July on two prostitution## related charges, though he was acquitted on# other charges that could have led to life in## prison.
During sentencing, the judge told# him he would spend -- quote -- "hard time## in prison away from your family, friends and# community, but you will have a life afterward."
Prior to sentencing, Combs had said he# had nobody to blame but himself, calling## his behavior disgusting, shameful and sick.# Before that, he was seen wiping away tears as## his children asked the judge for leniency.
Combs# has already spent more than a year in detention.
Apple has removed an app from its store that# lets users report sightings of U.S.
immigration## agents.
ICEBlock says it has one million# users who anonymously monitor activity by## ICE officers.
Apple says the app and others# like it were removed "based on information## we have received from law enforcement about# the safety risks associated with ICEBlock."
Attorney General Pam Bondi claims the app# was designed to -- quote -- "put ICE agents## at risk just for doing their jobs.
"# Even though it's no longer available,## it's still functional for those# who've already downloaded it.
Firefighters in California managed to contain a# massive blaze at a Chevron oil refinery outside## Los Angeles earlier today.
Flames from# the blaze were visible for miles after it## erupted yesterday at the El Segundo refinery.# City officials urged people to stay indoors,## though there have been no reports of injuries# and there's no current threat to public safety.
Nearby residents described feeling a# rumble yesterday before seeing the flames.## It wasn't immediately clear what caused the fire.
On Wall Street today, stocks ended mixed# to close out an otherwise strong week.
The## Dow Jones industrial average added# nearly 240 points on the day.
The## Nasdaq slipped around 60 points.# The S&P 500 ended virtually flat.
Still to come on the "News Hour": a preview of# the major cases the U.S.
