The fourth day of jury selection in former President Trump's criminal hush money trial is underway in New York City. Six alternates must be selected after the 12 jurors were seated yesterday. Opening statements in the trial could start as early as Monday.       The Republican-led House is advancing legislation to provide military aid for Israel, Ukraine, and the Indo-Pacific. The House is expected to vote on four separate bills over the weekend after passing a critical threshold in the rules committee Thursday with the help of Democrats. The move has inflamed conservatives who are against additional aid to Ukraine and have threatened Speaker Mike Johnson's job over the issue.       Iran has yet to indicate whether it plans to retaliate following reported Israeli airstrikes against a military base. Iranian state media says "three small drones" were intercepted and "no significant damage" was done. What's being described as a limited strike came in response to the more than 300 missiles and drones Iran launched at Israel last weekend.       The NYPD says there was no violence or injuries during a pro-Palestinian protest at Columbia University yesterday. More than 100 demonstrators were issued summonses for trespassing. New York City Mayor Eric Adams says the school's students have a proud history of protests, but they're not allowed to trespass.        A near miss on a runway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is being investigated by the FAA. It happened yesterday morning when a plane crossed the runway as another was starting its take off. The planes - one a Southwest flight, the other JetBlue - were reportedly just 300 feet away from each other.       Coachella's second weekend gets underway today. Headliners Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator, No Doubt and Doja Cat will all once again take to the stage along with other acts like Ice Spice, Blur and J Balvin. Starting at 4 pm Pacific time today, those unable to attend will be able to watch a live stream on YouTube.
