COVER STORY: The long history of America's conflict with CubaThe small island nation of Cuba, just 90 miles from Florida, has played an outsized role in America's foreign policy for close to 70 years. Now, the Trump administration is blocking nearly all oil shipments from reaching the island, worsening its humanitarian crisis, with the president threatening he will be "taking Cuba." Correspondent Mo Rocca talks with history professor Jorge Malagon-Marquez about U.S. interventions in the past, and how tensions between Washington and Havana have even outlived the late dictator Fidel Castro.

SPORTS: It's finally sunny in Wrexham: Hollywood stars revive a Welsh soccer townIn 2021, Hollywood A-Listers Ryan Reynolds (the Marvel superhero character "Deadpool") and Rob "Mac" McElhenney (the long-running comedy series "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") went all-in on a very different kind of franchise, when they bought a failing football club in the northern Welsh city of Wrexham. Surprise and skepticism gave way to success, as Wrexham AFC went from losers to winners, and the club's value rocketed to nearly half a billion dollars. Ramy Inocencio reports on how reviving a nearly-forgotten soccer team has resurrected the pride of a beleaguered city – and inspired underdogs around the world.

Peacockfans need to hold tight because the streamer is getting a fresh lineup of movies in just under a week.

In the meantime, there are still a few days to enjoy a handful of Peacock's most entertaining movies before they head into a company vault.

To make it easier for you,Watch With Ushas selected the three Peacock movies you need to binge-watch this weekend.

This week's picks include a tense thriller, a real-life legal drama and a comedy with a slightly sci-fi premise.

What’s New on Peacock in April 2025

'Red Eye' (2005)

The lateWes CravenhelmedRed Eye, a thriller that helped propelRachel McAdamsforward as a leading actress. Lisa is a hotel manager who finds herself increasingly attracted to Jackson Rippner (Cillian Murphy), a charming man she met at the airport before they were seated together on the plane.

Lisa's dreams of rom-com happiness are quickly thwarted when Jackson reveals his true agenda during their red-eye flight. He intends to force Lisa to help him assassinate a government official. And if she refuses, her father, Joe Reisert (Brian Cox), will be murdered. Lisa's a resourceful woman and fights back, but Jackson seems to have thought of every contingency.

'Dark Waters' (2019)

If you've ever seenErin Brockovich, you'll recognize a lot of the themes inDark Waters, which is also based on a true story about a class action lawsuit against one of the most powerful companies in America. In this case, it's DuPont that stands accused by residents of Parkersburg, West Virginia, of dumping a chemical that caused cancer in the town's residents and deformed livestock.

Erin Brockovich Recently Walked in on Her Grandkids Watching ‘Erin Brockovich’: ‘That’s You?’

AttorneyRob Bilott(Mark Ruffalo) is brought into the case by a farmer, Wilbur Tennant (Bill Camp), and Tennant's findings are critical to the case against DuPont. But unlike some other biopic legal dramas, DuPont drags out the case for years, leaving Rob's marriage toSarah Barlage Bilott(Anne Hathaway) in a very vulnerable state. DuPont's legal strategy appears to be designed to avoid the company being taken to task for its actions. But as long as Rob can stand up in court, he's not going to let that happen.

Dark Watersis streaming onPeacock.

'Hot Tub Time Machine' (2010)

It seems like films with on-the-nose titles likeHot Tub Time Machineare rarities among modern theatrical movies. In this case, the high concept helped sell the film and made it a hit.John Cusackstars as Adam Yates, a recently dumped middle-aged guy who reunites with his childhood friends, Lou Dorchen (Rob Corddry) and Nick Webber-Agnew (Craig Robinson), for a vacation at their favorite winter resort so they can forget their unhappy lives.

One ill-advised hot tub accident later, the four men wake up in 1986. Aside from Jacob, the guys are back in their childhood bodies and ready to make up for lost time. But if they don't maintain the shape of their personal history, they run the risk of entirely erasing the future they came from.

Here's what we know about security measures at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner

WASHINGTON (AP) — The suspect detained after a shooting at theWhite House Correspondents' Association dinneris believed to have made it past the outermost layer of security at the event at which PresidentDonald Trumpwas scheduled to speak because he was a guest of the hotel, officials said Saturday.

The shooting suspectwas identified as Cole Tomas Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, two law enforcement officials told the AP. Officials told reporters after the incident that Allen was armed with a shotgun, a handgun and multiple knives.

Security for the annual event is always tight when the president attends, especially given the venue’s history — 45 years ago, the Washington Hilton was the site of an attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan — and law enforcement argued that their “multi-layered protection” worked as designed. Still, the incident was sure to set off more questions about security around the president and political events in the wake of high-profile acts of political violence in recent years.

Here's what we know about the security of the correspondents' dinner.

The perimeter at the Washington Hilton

The interim police chief for Washington's Metropolitan Police Department, Jeffery Carroll, told reporters Saturday evening that investigators believe that the suspect was staying in the hotel and that appears to be how he was able to enter the hotel at the time of the event.

The hotel was closed to the public beginning at 2 p.m. Saturday in anticipation of the dinner which began at 8 p.m. Outside, dozens of protesters gathered in the rain — mostly directing their criticism at the media attending the event.

Access to the hotel was restricted to hotel guests, people with tickets to the dinner itself, an invitation to one of the receptions that are held at the hotel before or after the dinner, or documents from the White House Correspondents' Association indicating affiliation with the dinner.

The 2,300 guests at the event in the hotel's cavernous subterranean ballroom had to pass through several additional checks to enter the room, including showing tickets to association volunteers and hotel staff and passing through magnetometers manned by the Secret Service and Transportation Security Administration.

It was not immediately released when the suspect checked into the hotel. Security camera footage released by Trump to social media shortly after the incident shows the gunman running past security officers who appear to be disassembling the metal detectors. Once the president was seated in the ballroom, additional attendees were not permitted to enter the secured area, which is why they were taking them down.

“It shows that our multi-layered protection works,” Secret Service director Sean Curran said. His comments were echoed by Carroll, who said the security plan for the evening was developed by the Secret Service and “that security plan did work this evening.”

Security measures inside the ballroom

Inside the ballroom for the dinner itself there were further security measures.

The U.S. Secret Service maintained another perimeter around the president that included a buffer separating him and others seated at the head table from the rest of the attendees. Armored plates were hidden under the table where Trump was seated. Secret Service agents were at their posts in front of the stage and in its wings, as were heavily armed counter-assault agents ready to respond to threats. Security details for dozens of other high-profile attendees were also in the ballroom.

A spokesperson for the hotel directed questions about their security measures to the U.S. Secret Service.

Assassination attempt of Reagan at the Washington Hilton

The hotel itself has a long presidential history, and everyday people have regularly booked rooms or filled the lobby bar to watch people at an event that attracts Washington's elite and has also drawn celebrities like George Clooney and Kim Kardashian as well as hosts including Jimmy Kimmel and Trevor Noah.

Although known for the correspondents' dinner, the hotel regularly hosts large events in the nation's capital, especially those that feature the president. It was the site of the shooting of Reagan by John Hinckley Jr. on March 30, 1981.

Reagan was returning to his limousine after a speaking engagement when Hinckley shot him with a revolver, seriously wounding him. Hinckley believed the attack would impress the actress Jodie Foster.

Security overhauls and US Secret Service training

After that incident, the hotel built extensive security modifications specifically to accommodate the president, including a secured garage designed to fit the presidential limo which leads to a dedicated elevator and staircase to ferry them to a secured suite reserved for their personal use.

The suite includes a reserved bathroom that the hotel traditionally adorns with monogrammed towels for the president for the handful of times they are in the space every year.

Because of the venue's long presidential history, the Secret Service has long used the annual event to put some agents through their paces because the venue has been extensively studied by the agency for decades.

However, since the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, many major hotels have also tightened security protocols, in some cases adopting measures such as periodic room checks or policies aimed at flagging extended privacy requests. It was not immediately clear when the person involved Saturday checked into the hotel, or whether any such measures would have had any bearing in this case.

Laura Loomer Faces Rejection Over Lawsuit Targeting Bill Maher’s Donald Trump Joke

Far-right activistLaura Loomergot a legal setback when a federal judge dismissed her defamation lawsuit against comedianBill Maher. The case is about a joke Maher told on his HBO show, implying a romantic relationship between Loomer and PresidentDonald Trump.

Judge tosses Laura Loomer’s defamation case against Bill Maher

U.S. District Judge James Moody issued an 18-page ruling on April 22 in favor ofBill Maherand HBO (viaNBC News). The judge determined that Maher’s remarks during a September 2024 episode of Real Time with Bill Maher were clearly presented as comedic hyperbole rather than a statement of fact.

During the broadcast in question, Maher referenced an earlier segment about “who’s Trump fu**ing,” before quipping, “I think it might be Laura Loomer.” The episode had aired soon after Loomer was seen traveling on Trump’s private plane and attending both a presidential debate and a 9/11 memorial event alongside the president.

In his ruling, Moody noted that the show happened “during a time when the environment was rifewith jokesand speculation about Loomer’s relationship with President Trump.” The judge asserted that any reasonable viewer of Maher’s long-running political satire program “would have understood Maher was making a joke, and not a statement of fact about plaintiff and President Trump.”

The court also addressed the issue of damages. The judge wrote that Loomer failed to demonstrate reputational harm or a loss of income. In fact, court documents revealed that Loomer testified her income increased in 2024 compared to prior years. Furthermore, he noted that Donald Trump still “continues to solicit her opinions” and invites her to the White House, indicating her standing with the president remains unchanged.

During his testimony in the case, Bill Maher explained his comedic process, referencing the public displays of affection observed between Loomer and Trump. “It’s just comedy. These are jokes,” Maher stated. Loomer, who has a history of promoting conspiracy theories and was previously banned from multiple tech platforms for anti-Muslim rhetoric, reacted angrily to the decision onX (formerly Twitter).

Kylie Kelce Shuts Down the Possibility of Baby No. 5, Telling Her Followers to Take a 'Chill Pill'

Kylie Kelce is making it clear that she's not ready for a fifth child after a fan suggested it was going to happen after her husband Jason Kelce's dapper look at a recent wedding

NEED TO KNOW

• The podcaster immediately denied the possibility of welcoming another baby at the moment, joking that her "uterus might hear" the woman's suggestion

• The mom of four ended by sharing she's "seen him" and gets why they would say that

Kylie Kelceis making it clear that she's not ready to welcome another little one.

During the Thursday, April 23 episode of theNot Gonna Liepodcast, the podcaster and mom of four, 34, reacted to some of the comments her viewers left about her husbandJason Kelce's, 38, looking dapper at the wedding of his former Philadelphia Eagles teammate, Lane Johnson, and his wife Kelsey Johnson. One fan wrote that the picture "screams baby no. 5," to which Kylie told her to "watch your mouth."

"My uterus might hear you. She's not talking to you, uterus," she teased. "Guys, we have four children. My youngest child just turned one. Can you, I don't know, take a f--king chill pill?"

"I've seen him. Trust me. We have four," she said in response to her husband's appearance. "I get it."

Kylie and her husband share four daughters together:Finnley, 12 months, Bennett, 3, Elliotte, 5, and Wyatt, 6.On her podcast, the doting mom regularly shares parenting tips, updates and opinions as she navigates raising four kids under 6.

During the "Ask Me Some Things" segment on the latest episode, she shared her feelings about sleepovers, revealing whether she'd let their four daughters stay the night somewhere else.

"No," she said immediately after reading a viewer's question. "Oh, guys. We live in a different world than when we were growing up. And to be fair, I didn't even really have sleepovers when I was growing up. I think I can, off the top of my head, remember maybe two or three sleepovers that I had."

"No, my kids are not going for sleepovers," she added.

She went on to explain that she'll let her kids still participate in the event even though they'll be going to sleep in their own beds."I will let them stay for all of the activities, and then I'll pick you up to go to bed," she explained. "If you want me to take you back in the morning because people are doing, like, breakfast and an activity in the morning, I'll take you back."

"You're sleeping in your house," she continued. "I have trust issues. Okay?"

In a different episode, Kylie responded to a viewer's question about adding another little one into the family less than two years after becoming a first-time parent. Kylie said that going from one to two kids "felt great" to her, explaining her stance and giving tips to the expectant mom.

"One to two to me felt great. It was entertainment for the older and entertainment for the younger," she explained. "When the older one is launching themselves off of things, the little blob is just lying there watching them like, that's pretty crazy. So it's built-in entertainment in both directions, which I really appreciated."

"The good news about one to two is that you still have a hand for each," she added. "If they do ready break and then they run [in] different directions, you can still grab both of them."

She also addressed her stance on having kids close in age. Admitting that she's "biased," Kylie shared why it was "so nice" having all her kids so close together.

"Our oldest are 17 months apart, and it was so nice because now it feels like they're hitting stages very quickly behind each other, and it's been that way the whole time," Kylie said. "And they'll learn from each other. It's so cool to have siblings that are that close in age."

"I'm biased again," she admitted, explaining that each of her daughters is no more than two years apart. "It's great. I love it."

Stephen Colbert counts down to his last day on “The Late Show ”with help from Jon Stewart

Stephen Colbert's The Late Show on Wednesday included a sketch with the host and The Daily Show's Jon Stewart selling memorabilia.

Key Points

• Colbert called it Late Show Home Shopping, and it really exists.

• The last episode is scheduled to air May 21, after CBS announced in July that this was the show's final season.

Stephen Colbertis preparing for the end.

On Wednesday, he and a very recognizable guest,The Daily Show'sJon Stewart, teamed up for a sketch advertising areal charity auctionofLate Showprops and merch before the series airs itsfinal episodeMay 21.

The funny guys sported floral leisure wear as they showed off some of the items up for big event. Colbert did, at least once, require a big gulp of whatever he was drinking from his branded coffee mug.

When Stewart suggested they start bidding for the item at $20, Colbert hilariously spit out the drink in Stewart's face and said there was "no way" they could start bidding so high. Stewart took a swig from his own mug, but Colbert suggested they lower the price to $19.99, which he called "actually a tremendous value."

And the items actually are for sale, with some of them going for a much higher price.

For example, the red carpet that guests walked on as they walk onto the set, as well as a wig that had belonged to Stewart was up to $5,600.

At one point, Colbert teased a T-shirt that reads "The Last Show" in the font ofThe Late Show, which Stewart got so excited about that he poured his mug on top of his head.

One of the bigger items: theLate Showsign, which hung in the studio, accompanied by signed mugs from Colbert and Stewart. The bidding for it was up to $10,100 late Wednesday.

Several of Colbert's neckties were among the other items.

In his monologue, Colbert also sent a box labeled "Iran War jokes" to his colleague Jimmy Kimmel, after noting that he was beginning to wonder if U.S. involvement there would be over by the time he left.

Ringo Starr reveals the one humble ritual the Beatles refused to quit even at the height of fame

Ringo Starr is getting candid about his days withthe Beatles, including the one rule the band never broke even as their fame skyrocketed.

The legendary drummer revealed the one simple habit that remained unchanged until the very end. They always shared rooms on tour.

"You guys were roommates when the Beatles would tour," hostJimmy Kimmelsaid during Monday's episode of his show, prompting Starr to reflect on the band’s early days.

Paul Mccartney Captures The Beatles' 'Innocence,' Challenges Amid Rise To Fame In Never-before-seen Photos

"Well, we were always four of us in two rooms," Starr said. "So, I was roommates with everybody. You know, Paul was roommates with everybody. Depended where they put the suitcases. We just went and shared a room."

The host asked whether that changed once they became the biggest band on the planet. Starr revealed it didn’t.

Read On The Fox News App

"No, right up to the last day of the last tour — or the last night of the last tour — we shared," Starr said.

Long before private jets and sprawling entourages became standard for global superstars, Starr and his bandmates —Paul McCartney, John Lennonand George Harrison — were simply four young men navigating fame together, suitcase by suitcase.

Kimmel took the conversation in a more humorous direction, asking, "Wow. That’s really cool. When you visit each other at your homes now, do you get into bed together ever?"

Starr laughed, "No. No, not anymore."

But the host pushed one step further with a cheeky question about Starr’s closest sleeping companion outside of the family.

"Who would be the man — outside of maybe your family — the man that you’ve slept with the most? Would that be Paul?"

Starr replied, "Well, actually, I’d like to tell you I slept with the three of them."
