We start the day's other headlines with new information on the deadly collision between an American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter in Washington, D.C. last month.

Federal investigators now say the Black Hawk crew may have missed a key instruction by air traffic control seconds before the crash.

The plane was coming in for a landing at Reagan National Airport when the collision occurred.

All 67 people on board, both aircraft were killed. NTSB chairwoman Jennifer Hammondy said

today that air traffic control instructed the helicopter to pass behind the jet as they were getting

closer. The portion of the transmission that stated,

pass behind the may not have been received by the Black Hawk crew.

Transmission was stepped on by a 0.8 second mic key from the Black Hawk.

The Black Hawk was keying the mic to communicate with ATC.

Homandy also said investigators believe the crew were wearing night vision goggles,

and they're looking into whether altitude readings inside the helicopter's cockpit were

inaccurate at the time of the collision. A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration

to lift its funding freeze on foreign aid and has given officials a five-day deadline to prove

they are doing so. The order late last night was the first to challenge the freeze. It cited

the financial impact that the cutoff of payments is having worldwide. President Trump ordered the 90-day freeze

last month to allow officials time to determine which groups would keep getting federal funds.

The judge in his ruling said officials have not offered any explanation for why a blanket

suspension was a rational precursor to reviewing programs. In the Middle East, Hamas announced

the names of the three Israeli hostages it intends to release tomorrow in the latest exchange of

the fragile ceasefire. They are Israeli-American, Sagi Dekyllchen, Israeli-Argentian,

Yehir Horn, and Israeli-Russian Alexander Sasha Trufenov.

They're expected to be exchanged for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
