Energy Strikes Deadline Extended, Maduro in Court, Savannah Guthrie Interview and more

Hey, from CNN, I'm a FOMA DK, with the five things you need to know for Thursday, March 26th.

President Donald Trump says the U.S. will hold off on striking Iranian energy sites for

another 10 days.

The pause currently in place was set to expire tomorrow.

During the president's cabinet meeting earlier today, he cast doubt on the prospect of a deal

to end the war with Iran, as Tehran calls Washington's willingness to negotiate into question,

according to an unnamed source at an Iranian news agency.

They now have a chance to make a deal, but let's up to them.

And they'll tell you, we're not negotiating.

We will not negotiate.

Of course, a negotiation.

And they've been obliterated.

Who wouldn't negotiate?

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who's meeting G-7 foreign ministers in France,

noted that while talks are fluid, progress is being made, but he declined to get into the

specifics.

However, when asked if he would call on G-7 countries to help reopen the straight-of-form

news, he said,

Well, it's in their interest to help.

It's made that the other countries get far more of their fuel from there than we do.

This as stocks, bonds, and gold have slumped as the war rages.

The Dow Nasdaq and S&P closed in the red today, with the Nasdaq closing in correction

territory falling 10% from its most recent all-time high.

More news coming up, including where the case against an ousted Venezuelan leader stands.

Nicholas Maduro and his wife appeared for their second hearing in New York today since

being captured in a U.S. raid back in January.

The former president of Venezuela and first lady pleaded not guilty to drug and weapons

charges.

The federal judge on the case said today he wouldn't dismiss the case based on an ongoing

dispute over their legal fees.

Maduro's attorney testified that the couple can't pay their legal fees on their own and

argued that the Venezuelan government should be able to pay for it.

Prosecutors argued the U.S. sanctioned the Venezuelan government from funding Maduro's

defense due to national security or to influence foreign policy.

The judge said he promised to issue a decision soon.

Transgender women athletes are banned from women's events at the Olympics because of

a new eligibility policy.

The policy aligns with President Trump's executive order on sports.

CNN's Patrick Snell explains.

This ruling will take effect from the 2028 summer games in Los Angeles.

It means female athletes will be required to undergo a once-in-a-lifetime blood or

cheek swap test for something called the SRY gene.

That's a gene that can detect the presence of a Y or a male chromosome, which causes

male characteristics to develop, but in some cases, naturally occurring variations in

the gene can lead to its presence in a small proportion of women who possess many potential

biological variations known as differences of sex development or DSD.

The test will effectively lead to a blanket ban on all transgender and DSD athletes ability

to compete at the Olympics.

Now to the latest developments in airports.

The Federal Aviation Administration says the runway where an air candidate expressed

plain crashed into a fire truck at more than 100 miles per hour on Sunday has reopened.

It was one of two intersecting runways at La Guardia Airport and was closed after

the crash until the wreckage could be removed.

The runways closure canceled about a third of flights at the airport earlier this week.

The collision killed a pilot and co-pilot and injured dozens of people.

Meanwhile, nearly 500 TSA officers have quit and thousands more are, quote, forced to call

out because they can't afford gas, childcare, food, or rent.

That's according to a statement from a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson.

As the department's partial shutdown continues because of a funding standoff on Capitol Hill.

In Atlanta, two travelers said they got to the airport six to eight hours before their

flight after seeing long lines in recent weeks.

Honestly, this is ridiculous.

Every tax paying American does not deserve this.

Too much to think that I brought this to her bedside, that it's because of me, and I just

say I'm so sorry, mommy, I'm so sorry.

That's Savannah Guthrie in her first interview since her mom vanished from her Arizona home

nearly two months ago.

Speaking to her NBC colleague and friend Hota Copy, Guthrie said her brother first raised

the possibility that their mom Nancy was kidnapped for ransom because of her fame.

In parts of the interview that aired today, Guthrie revealed new details about her mom's

abduction and early moments of the investigation.

She said she first learned about her mom's disappearance when her sister called her, and

that at first she thought the incident was a medical episode.

Regarding the purported ransom notes, Guthrie said she believed that only two they responded

to were real.
