Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Lakshmi Singh. President Trump's loss, his latest legal battle to immediately deport migrants, challenging their removals.

On Wall street today, President Trump is escalating his attacks on the Federal Reserve with an extraordinary attempt to fire Fed gun Governor Lisa Cook. Trump says he's dismissing Cook in response to allegations that she had made false statements on a mortgage application, but she says he has no authority to do so and that she won't resign. It's the latest effort by Trump to exert more control over the Fed, which is designed to be independent. But the president wants the central bank to lower interest rates and has been publicly pressuring the Fed and its leaders to do so. Yet investors are mostly shrugging off the latest threats to the Fed's independence. Maria Aspen, NPR News.

Monday morning's pair of attacks was one of the deadliest on journalists working for international media in the Gaza war, the second attack came as first responders were handling victims. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a tragic mishap. AP and Reuters demanded a transparent Israeli investigation. The military says its initial inquiry found that infantry soldiers targeted what they believed was a Hamas camera at a hospital observing troops. The military would not provide a photo or evidence. It said soldiers reached that conclusion because Hamas had based itself at the hospital. It says six others killed were militants, but did not say they were the target. The military says it's examining who authorized the strikes, the timing and the ammunition. Daniel Estrin, NPR News, Tel Aviv.
