President Trump is doubtful Europe can bring an end to the Iran-Israeli conflict. Speaking from New Jersey today, Trump threw cold water on the meeting today between Iran's foreign minister and top diplomats from Britain, France and Germany in Geneva. He went on to contradict his intelligence community's claims about Iran's nuke capabilities, saying they can develop a bomb much sooner than reported.        A heat dome is threatening over 200 million Americans with extreme heat. Extreme heat watches, warnings and advisories are already in effect for parts of the Southwest, Rockies, Plains, Upper Midwest, and Northeast. Extreme humidity will hit the Gulf Coast through western Minnesota.        Mahmoud Khalil is free. A federal judge on Friday ordered the Columbia University grad student be released on bail. Khalil had been detained for three months after the White House said he's an anti-Semitic Hamas supporter who should be deported. He was the first of a number of students who ended up being taken into custody over pro-Palestinian protests.        Harvard can keep enrolling international students. A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction that halts the Trump administration's withdrawal of the University's ability to host the students. The injunction prevents the White House's revocation of the school's Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification until the judge makes a decision on a lawsuit brought by Harvard. However, the judge didn't address Trump's entry ban on holders of Harvard-sponsored visas.        A federal appeals court is blocking a law in Louisiana that mandates the Ten Commandments be displayed in classrooms of public schools and colleges. The ruling upholds a lower court decision from November that declared the law as "facially unconstitutional." The lawsuit was brought by a coalition of parents in Louisiana.        "28 Years Later" and Pixar's "Elio" are already raking in millions at the box office. The third film in the zombie franchise made five-point-eight-million from Thursday previews, while "Elio" brought in three-million-dollars last night. "28 Years Later" is projected to make between 28 and 30-million-dollars in its first weekend, while the latest Pixar movie is expected to collect between 25 and 30-million.
