Police searched the former home# of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor,## located on the grounds of Windsor Castle west# of London.
The king's brother had lived there## for decades until his eviction earlier# this month.
The search comes a day after## he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in# public office related to his friendship with## the late convicted sex offender.
The former# prince was released after nearly 11th hours.
Separately, the lobbying firm co-founded# by Peter Mandelson has halted operations.## The former British ambassador to the U.S.
has# come under increasing pressure due to his ties## to Epstein.
And in this country, Bard College# in New York has opened an independent review## into the relationship between Epstein and the# school's longtime president, Leon Botstein.
The Trump administration is requiring all# truckers and bus drivers to take commercial## driving tests in English.
The move was announced# today by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy,## who said it would get unqualified# drivers off the road and improve safety.
SEAN DUFFY, U.S.
Transportation Secretary:# Just because you're a foreigner,## that doesn't mean that you can't drive a big# rig, you can't drive a truck.
Well, .. happened, that we have had so many unskilled,# unqualified, untrained drivers on American roads.
AMNA NAWAZ: Many states allow drivers to# take license tests in other languages,## but still require that they# show proficiency in English.## Today's announcement is part of a broader# crackdown on the industry since a fatal## crash last August involving an immigrant driver# who officials say was in the country illegally.
In New York, the largest nursing strike in# decades is close to ending after thousands## of nurses reached a tentative agreement with# management today.
More than 4,000 nurses at New## York Presbyterian Hospital had been on the picket# line for more than a month.
The union says today's## deal includes staffing improvements, a 12 percent# pay raise, and safeguards against the use of A.I.
If approved, nurses could return to work as# early as next week.
They would rejoin the## nearly 11,000 other New York nurses who ratified# contracts with two other hospitals last week.
In Venezuela, opposition groups say a new# amnesty law that could lead to the release## of hundreds of political prisoners does not go# far enough.
Acting President Delcy Rodriguez## signed the measure yesterday.
It signals a# broad shift in policy towards such prisoners,## but has upset some families by excluding# certain groups like detained military members.
Opposition leader Juan Pablo Guanipa had been# under house arrest.
The bill granted his freedom,## but, speaking to reporters, he# warned of a long fight ahead.
JUAN PABLO GUANIPA, Venezuelan Opposition# Leader (through translator): The important## thing is not the law.
The im.. who are outside will be able to return and# that we will be able to have all political## prisoners released.
That is what has to happen.# And that is the pressure that we have to exert.
AMNA NAWAZ: A Venezuela-based# rights group estimates some## 600 people remain in jail for political reasons.
House Speaker Mike Johnson's office denied a# request for the late Reverend Jesse Jackson## to lie in honor in the U.S.
Capitol Rotunda.# Jackson's family and some House Democrats had## filed the request for the civil rights icon,# who died earlier this week at the age of 84.
In rejecting the request, the speaker's office# cited past precedent.
Most recently, a request to## honor slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk was# also denied.
But there have been some exceptions,## including civil rights icon Rosa Parks in# 2005 and the Reverend Billy Graham in 2018.
Even before today's tariff announcement, a pair# of economic reports raised new concerns about## the health of the U.S.
economy.
The Commerce# Department said today that the fourth-quarter## GDP rose just 1.4 percent when compared# to the year before.
That was due largely## to the effects of the government shutdown# and was less than economists had expected.
A separate report showed a vital gauge# on inflation rising 2.9 percent in## December, well above the Fed's# preferred target of 2 percent.
On Wall Street today, stocks posted decent# gains following the Supreme Court's tariff## decision.
The Dow Jones industrial average added# 230 points on the day.
The Nasdaq rose 200 points,## or nearly 1 percent.
The S&P 500# also ended in positive territory.
And tributes have been pouring# in for actor Eric Dane,## the "Grey's Anatomy" star# who passed away yesterday.
ACTRESS: McSteamy, woo-hoo.
ERIC DANE, Actor: Is that what# you call me now, McSteamy?
AMNA NAWAZ: Dane made his first# appearance as plastic surgeon Mark Sloan,## also known as McSteamy, exactly 20# years ago to the day of his passing.## He played that role from 2006 to 2012.# Dane also portrayed the troubled Cal## Jacobs on HBO's "Euphoria," among# other TV and film appearances.
Last April, he announced he'd been diagnosed# with ALS, a progressive disease also known as## Lou Gehrig's disease, and became an# advocate for the illness.
After his## diagnosis, Dane recorded this video message# speaking directly to his teenage daughters.
ERIC DANE: I hope I'm demonstrating that you can# face anything,you can face the end of your days,## you can face hell with dignity.
Fight,# girls, and hold your heads high.
AMNA NAWAZ: In a statement, his family# said -- quote -- "He will be deeply## missed and lovingly always.
"# Eric Dane was 53 years old.
There are just two days of competition left at# the Winter Olympics and the U.S.
is looking to## lock in a few more medals before the Games wrap# up.
There are spoilers ahead, so fair warning;## 31-year-old us skier Alex Ferreira# finally got a gold in the men's free## ski halfpipe.
He's won silver# and bronze in past Olympics.
The U.S.
men's hockey team dominated Slovakia# today, winning 6-2.
They will face archrival## Canada in the gold medal match on Sunday, the# last day of the Games.
U.S.
women's curling## came up short against Switzerland, so they# will vie for the bronze tomorrow.
Looking## at the overall medal count, the U.S.
remains in# second place with 29.
Norway maintains the lead## with 37 medals and with 17 golds broke its own# record for most golds at a single Winter Games.
Still to come on the "News Hour": Wyoming Governor# Mark Gordon discusses key issues facing states in## this politically fraught time; David Brooks and# Jonathan Capehart weigh in on the week's political## headlines; and Palestinians in Gaza observe# Ramadan despite enormous destruction and loss.
