[0:34] We have much more of what you need to know now. [0:37] I'm Rachel Scott from ABC News here at the White House. [0:40] It is Monday, April 20th. [0:42] This is what you need to know. [0:43] Let's get right to the big story. [0:45] As the White House prepares for another round [0:46] of negotiations, Iran is now saying [0:49] they have no plans for further peace talks. [0:51] And Iranian officials saying the U.S. has shown [0:53] that it is not serious about pursuing [0:55] the diplomatic process. [0:56] Still, Pakistani officials are optimistic [0:58] both sides could send delegations to Islamabad this week. [1:02] The situation remains fluid. [1:04] Iran is vowing retaliation after U.S. forces boarded [1:07] and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship [1:10] and a move Tehran calls illegal and provocative. [1:13] The ship was accused of violating a U.S. naval blockade. [1:16] Amid all the uncertainty, oil prices have climbed [1:19] and a top Trump administration official [1:20] says gas prices may not reach $3 again until 2027. [1:25] Rebecca Jarvis explains. [1:27] The resumption of hostilities has sent those oil prices [1:30] surging again overnight. [1:31] Oil is now about $88 a barrel. [1:34] And even if prices drop from here and a deal is reached, [1:37] gas prices may not head below $3 until next year, [1:41] according to Energy Secretary Chris Wright. [1:44] If you look at where prices are this morning, [1:46] we're at $397 a gallon. [1:48] That is below the $4 mark. [1:50] Things have been trending lower. [1:52] Wall Street is coming off that winning week with the S&P 500, [1:55] which that's what's in most retirement savings accounts, [1:58] climbing to all-time highs [1:59] following the ceasefire announcement. [2:01] Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [2:03] says that he is stunned and saddened, [2:06] condemning a soldier accused of damaging [2:08] a Christian statue in Lebanon. [2:10] The incident captured in a viral photo [2:12] shows an IDF soldier appearing to strike a statue of Jesus [2:16] during a 10-day ceasefire. [2:18] Israel has confirmed the image is authentic [2:20] and says a criminal investigation is now underway. [2:23] The Israeli military is vowing accountability [2:25] adding it will help restore the damaged religious site. [2:28] In Japan, a powerful 7.5 earthquake [2:31] struck off the northern coast today, [2:33] triggering tsunami alerts and mass evacuations. [2:36] Officials detected waves up to nearly three feet, [2:38] with initial warnings of even higher surges along the coast. [2:41] The tsunami threat has since passed [2:43] and no major injuries or damages were reported, [2:46] but Japan also issued an advisory [2:48] for an increased risk of a possible mega quake. [2:51] Next, the sharp warning from Canada's Prime Minister, [2:54] Mark Carney, says Canada's economic ties with the U.S. [2:57] are now a weakness. [2:58] It comes as the Trump administration [3:00] has started refunding some of the tariffs it imposed. [3:02] Selina Wang has the details. [3:04] Rachel, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney [3:06] had some harsh words for the U.S., [3:08] saying his country's economic ties with the U.S. [3:10] were once a strength, [3:12] but are now a weakness that must be corrected. [3:15] During a video address to his nation, [3:16] Carney claimed that President Trump's tariffs [3:18] have greatly affected the auto steel and lumber industries. [3:22] And he said businesses are holding back investments [3:24] because of economic uncertainty. [3:27] U.S. has fundamentally changed its approach to trade, [3:30] raising its tariffs to levels last seen [3:32] during the Great Depression. [3:33] Many of our former strengths, [3:35] based on our close ties to America, [3:38] have become our weaknesses, [3:39] weaknesses that we must correct. [3:41] Carney said his government can no longer rely on the U.S. [3:45] and is focused on signing trade deals with other countries. [3:48] It comes as the Trump administration [3:50] launches a tariff refund site online today, [3:53] aimed at reimbursing American companies [3:55] for the $160 billion they paid in tariffs [3:58] that the Supreme Court struck down in February. [4:01] Businesses can request refunds through that online portal, [4:04] but experts say it's unlikely American consumers [4:07] will get back any money. [4:09] But companies like FedEx and Costco have promised [4:11] to refund customers or lower their prices. [4:14] Michigan is refusing the Trump administration's demand [4:17] to turn over 2024 election ballots from the Detroit area. [4:21] Michigan's attorney general calls the request absurd [4:24] and baseless. [4:25] The Justice Department says it is investigating [4:26] alleged voter fraud. [4:28] FBI Director Cash Patel says arrests linked [4:30] to the 2020 election are coming soon. [4:33] We have the information that backs President Trump's claim. [4:36] When we find terabytes of data on computers from the last 10 years [4:41] that we were supposed to find 10 years ago, that's what it took. [4:44] It took his reelection. [4:46] It took this FBI to go in there and find it. [4:48] And it takes a long time to get through that material. [4:50] But I would say stay tuned this week. [4:51] You might see a thing or two. [4:53] President Trump has repeatedly made baseless claims [4:55] of voter fraud in the 2020 election that contributed [4:58] to his election loss to President Biden. [5:00] Judges have also repeatedly rejected the Trump administration's [5:03] efforts to access state voting records. [5:06] And today is marathon day in Boston. [5:08] About 32,000 people running the 26-mile route [5:11] and hundreds of thousands of spectators cheering them on. [5:14] The racers took off in six separate waves [5:16] so that they can fit better on some of the route's narrow colonial streets. [5:20] Meanwhile, Nike is responding after the company removed an ad [5:23] near the marathon's finish line. [5:25] The ad sparked backlash over its message, [5:28] runners welcome, walkers tolerated. [5:30] Nike says the ad missed the mark [5:32] and has replaced it with a new message saying, [5:34] movement is what matters. [5:36] Let's get into what to watch. [5:38] The world premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 [5:40] at a special red carpet event tonight in New York City. [5:44] Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway are reprising their roles for the film, [5:48] which hits theaters May 1st, [5:49] picking up 20 years after the original. [5:52] Streep sat down with Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos on GMA. [5:56] I mean, it's a different world, too. [6:00] When we shot the first film, the iPhone was yet to come out. [6:04] That's hard to believe. [6:05] It really is. [6:06] It came out the next year after The Devil Wears. [6:09] So, yeah, this is a different sort of thing [6:13] that we're living in now. [6:15] There were so many young women who were just, who had said, [6:19] you know, this first, the first movie made me want to be a journalist, [6:23] made me want to dress up, made me want to have fun. [6:26] I mean, so optimistic. [6:28] And I think that energy is retained in this one. [6:33] The world premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 will stream live on Disney Plus [6:37] and on Hulu tonight beginning at 5.30 Eastern. [6:40] And we have much more of what you need to know. [6:41] Stay with us. [6:42] Here's your daily briefing. [6:53] Other big stories we are following on ABC News. [6:56] The singer known as David is expected to be arraigned in a Los Angeles courtroom today. [7:00] The body of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in a Tesla belonging to him. [7:06] And a statement his attorney says the actual evidence in the case will show that David Burke [7:11] did not murder Hernandez, adding he was not the cause of her death. [7:15] Today, authorities gave an update to a mass shooting in Shreveport, Louisiana, [7:18] which left eight children dead. [7:20] Police say a father killed seven of his own kids and another child. [7:24] Today we remember Jayla Elkins, age three. [7:31] Shayla Elkins, age five. [7:33] Kayla Pugh, age six. [7:37] Layla Pugh, age seven. [7:39] Makedon Pugh, age 10. [7:43] Soraya Snow, age 11. [7:46] Codundrum Snow, age six. [7:49] Braylon Snow, age five. [7:53] And to all of their families. [7:55] Two women were critically wounded, including his wife. [7:58] And another child survived after authorities say he jumped off the roof of the home. [8:02] The shooter has been identified as 31-year-old Shamar Elkins. [8:05] He served in the Army National Guard. [8:07] Family members say he had mental health problems and was separating from his wife. [8:12] Elon Musk has been summoned to Paris, [8:14] as French investigators probe allegations linked to the social media platform X. [8:18] Authorities are looking into claims involving child sex abuse material [8:22] and a wave of deep fake content on the platform. [8:24] Musk and his former ex-CEO Linda Iaccarino have been asked to appear for voluntary interviews, [8:30] though it is unclear if they will go. [8:32] Prosecutors are also raising questions about X's AI system [8:35] and whether controversy was used to boost Musk's own companies. [8:40] And a life jacket worn by a survivor on the Titanic, sold for more than $900,000 at an auction. [8:47] That's more than double the expected sale price. It belonged to a first-class passenger. [8:52] The buyer was not identified. [8:55] And one more thing before you go. [8:57] Look at this sweet moment from the Pirates game in Pittsburgh. [9:00] Pirates player Jake Mangum tossed the ball into the stands. [9:03] The little boy catches it and then instantly hands it over to his little sister, [9:08] who was wearing the player's jersey. [9:09] She repaid her brother with a big hug. [9:12] And that's what you need to know for breaking news and live updates throughout the day. [9:15] Check out ABC News streaming on Disney+.
