The Brief

The Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, convicted in the 2009 attack that killed 13 people, will be livestreamed on Dec. 3, after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the execution would be public. It would be the first public execution in the US since the 1930s.

The plan has drawn bipartisan criticism; GOP Sen. Thom Tillis said public executions are "what oppressive dictatorships like Iran and Afghanistan do," and Vice President JD Vance said he doubts the livestream will go forward and that he would not watch it if it does. Legal experts say there is little established legal avenue to challenge the unprecedented broadcast, since military execution rules do not address livestreaming. A Fort Hood survivor told the BBC he supports the execution but has doubts about airing it publicly.

A man was shot in the neck by an ICE agent during an arrest in the Marble Hill neighborhood of New York City, officials said. CBS News identified the man as Oscar Belgal, 28; the Department of Homeland Security said the shooting happened during a "targeted enforcement operation" to arrest a Dominican man who was driving with his 5-year-old son in the car. Belgal survived and is now being held at a detention facility outside New York City.

DHS official Marcos Charles defended the officers, saying they used their vehicles to block the man as he tried to drive away and that he accelerated toward them, leading officers to believe they were in danger. New York's mayor, governor and other officials condemned the shooting, and protests followed.

President Trump picked Katie Zacharia, a conservative commentator who currently works as a communications adviser at Trump Media & Technology Group, to be the next White House press secretary. "I am confident that Katie will deliver strong results for our Country as the next White House Press Secretary," Trump said.

The position has been vacant since Karoline Leavitt left in August.

Hurricane Isaias, the first Atlantic hurricane of 2026, weakened slightly to a Category 2 storm after peaking at Category 3 strength as it nears the northern Gulf Coast, with landfall now expected Friday evening. Alabama, Florida and Georgia have declared states of emergency, with mandatory evacuations in effect.

Forecasters are warning of heavy rain, damaging winds, storm surge up to 9 feet and possible tornadoes.

President Trump established a committee to investigate allegations that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook made false statements on mortgage documents, the latest step in his renewed effort to remove her from the Fed board.

The inquiry will include a hearing at the White House on Nov. 5, Trump said in a written memo, which states Cook "shall" attend to answer the committee's questions.

The number of measles cases in the U.S. this year has topped 4,000, a record that far surpasses the 2025 total, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday.

The majority of this year's cases are among people who have not been vaccinated, according to CBS News, which has been tracking the outbreaks across the country.
