"For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation—from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates.  Our signature broadcast, “World News Roundup,” remains the longest-running newscast in the country.  CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927"

A second memo from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski says CBS News Radio is shutting down. Here's the memo: Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026. Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated.  We understand how difficult this news is for our staff and their colleagues, who have worked side by side with us to cover some of the most significant stories of our time. While this was a necessary decision, it was not an easy one.  A shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities, has made it impossible to continue the service.  We are sharing this announcement now to fulfill our commitments to our radio partners and affiliates, which require advance notice of the service’s conclusion. For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation—from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates.  Our signature broadcast, “World News Roundup,” remains the longest-running newscast in the country.  CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927. The coming weeks will be difficult for the team members who have worked tirelessly at CBS News Radio.  We are committed to supporting these valued colleagues with care and respect as we wind down operations.  They have been critical to our success and remain treasured friends and professionals.  We thank them deeply for their contributions. Thank you all for your dedication and for the compassion you show one another as we move forward. Bari and Tom

It remains to be seen whether Trump views the new uK announcement about the use of its bases is enough to sway his opinion on PM Starmer, but it should be noted that moves perceived as helpful or concilliatory by foreign leaders have often prompted Trump to ease his criticism.

For the Trump WH, the UK's announcement that it has approved the use of its bases to launch strikes to help protect the Strait of Hormuz will be seen as a victory - although potentially only a partial one. Follow our live updates on Iran here: bbc.com/news/live/ce84…

WSJ: The base case, several oil officials in Saudi Arabia’s said, is that oil prices could soar past $180 a barrel if the disruptions persist until late April.

Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is meeting Donald Trump in what she expected would be a "very difficult" conversation, just days after the president's calls for allies to help secure the war-stricken Strait of Hormuz went largely unanswered bbc.com/news/articles/…

Remarkable story from Denmark's nat'l broadcaster. "When Danish soldiers were flown to Greenland in January...they brought explosives so they could destroy, among other things, the runways in Nuuk & Kangerlussuaq [to] prevent US mil aircraft from landing" dr.dk/nyheder/indlan…
auonsson@auonsson

Denmark and allies were flying in blood products and preparing for blowing up the airstrips as Trump threatened Greenland in January. Surprising no-one the 'exercise' Arctic Endurance was in fact an active operation, planned since 2025 with France, Germany and Nordics (+UK?).

In a viral post, Emirati billionaire Khalaf Al Habtoor slammed Trump for his “dangerous decision” to drag the Gulf into war, giving voice to frustrations that many here dare express only privately. But days later, the post was gone. Al Habtoor’s story: wapo.st/4bqMtN7

President Trump is headed to Dover AFB in Delaware for the dignified transfer process (it's not a 'ceremony') for the six service members killed in the KC-135 crash in Iraq. It will be his second since U.S. and Israeli strikes began in Iran.
