CNN on Thursday will reportedly lay off “hundreds” of employees as the network seeks to cut production costs and shift its focus from declining viewership in cable news. CNBC, citing sources “familiar with the matter,” reported Wednesday night that CNN will “consolidate teams” and move production of some shows from New York and Washington to Atlanta “where production can be done more cheaply.”

CNN has not responded to requests for comment on the CNBC report, which also revealed that NBC News also intends to make job cuts, but on a far smaller scale, with the number of impacted employees expected to be “well under 50.” NBC has yet to comment on the report.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda raises awkward questions for the European Union, although some lawmakers say Trump’s return to the White House could be a “real opportunity” for the 27-nation bloc.

Trump, who promised a new “golden age” for America in his inaugural address on Monday, has repeatedly threatened to impose duties on goods imported to the U.S. from the EU, stoking fears of a possible trade war.

Speaking to reporters earlier in the week, Trump said the EU has been “very, very bad to us. So, they’re going to be in for tariffs. It’s the only way … you’re going to get fairness.”

Richard Edelman, CEO of global communications firm Edelman, suggested Trump’s return could be a “shot in the arm” for businesses, while ING CEO Steven van Rijswijk told CNBC that the U.S. president’s inauguration should constitute a “wake-up call for Europe.”

Trump saluted the tomb as a military bugler played “Taps.”

Armed Hamas fighters drove through the southern city of Khan Younis with crowds cheering and chanting. In the north of the territory, bombed into oblivion in the war’s most intense fighting, people picked their way on narrow roads through a devastated landscape of rubble and twisted metal.

“I feel like at last I found some water to drink after being lost in the desert for 15 months,” Aya, a displaced woman from Gaza City who has been sheltering in Deir Al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip for over a year, said after the fighting stopped. “I feel alive again.”

TikTok was available to some U.S. users on Sunday after President-elect Donald Trump said that he would sign an executive order on Monday following his inauguration to delay a federal ban of the app.

In a statement on X, the company wrote that it would bring back access to its American users.

“In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service,” TikTok wrote. “We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive.”

The decision is “a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship,” the company added. “We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States.”
