The children of late civil rights leader Jesse Jackson honor his legacy a day after his death

CHICAGO (AP) — From jokes about his well-known stubbornness to tears grieving the loss of a parent, the adult children of the Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. gave an emotional tribute Wednesday honoring the legacy of the late civil rights icon, a day after his death.

Jesse Jackson

Jackson died Tuesdayat his home in Chicago after battling arare neurological disorderthat affected his ability to move and speak. Standing on the steps outside his longtime Chicago home, five of his children, including U.S. Rep. Jonathan Jackson, remembered him not only for his decades-long work in civil rights but also for his role as spiritual leader and father.

"Our father is a man who dedicated his life to public service to gain, protect and defend civil rights and human rights to make our nation better, to make the world more just, our people better neighbors with each other," said his youngest son, Yusef Jackson, fighting back tears at times.

The family said details on funeral arrangements for Jackson would be announced at a later time, but services will begin next week, with him lying in repose at the headquarters of the organization he founded, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition in Chicago, which his son Yusef oversees. Services will follow at a church large enough to accommodate expected crowds.

Jackson rose to prominence six decades ago as a protege of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., joining thevoting rights marchKing led from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. King later dispatched Jackson to Chicago to launch Operation Breadbasket, a Southern Christian Leadership Conference effort to pressure companies to hire Black workers.

Jackson was with King on April 4, 1968, when the civil rights leader was slain.

Remembrances have poured in worldwide for Jackson, including flowers left outside the home where large portraits of a smiling Jackson had been placed. But his children said he was a family man first.

"Our father took fatherhood very seriously," his eldest child, Santita Jackson, said. "It was his charge to keep."

His children's reflections were poetic in the style of the late civil rights icon — filled with prayer, tears and a few chuckles, including about disagreements that occur when growing up in a large, lively family.

His eldest son, Jesse Jackson Jr.,a former congressman, said his father's funeral services would welcome all, "Democrat, Republican, liberal and conservative, right wing, left wing — because his life is broad enough to cover the full spectrum of what it means to be an American."

The family asked only that those attending be respectful.

"If his life becomes a turning point in our national political discourse, amen," he said. "His last breath is not his last breath."

NEED TO KNOW

• Nicole Curtis was caught saying the n-word on camera in a video that circulated online on Wednesday, Feb. 11

• Her show, Rehab Addict, was immediately cancelled by HGTV and pulled from its streaming platforms as a result

• In a Feb. 17 Instagram post, Curtis said she was turning off the comments as a result of the "hate" she was receiving

• She apologized for using slur in a previous Instagram post and claimed the footage showing the incident was "stolen" from her

Nicole Curtisis speaking out again after she wascaught using a racial sluron video.

The former HGTV star, 49, shared a lengthy message onInstagramregarding herlatest controversyin a post shared on Tuesday, Feb. 17. The post comes almost one week after a video of Curtis using the n-word was posted byRadar Onlineon Wednesday, Feb. 11, the same day her HGTV show,Rehab Addict,was set to return to television.

While she begins her latest post by referencing the "many moments of kindness" she says she's experienced after the video went viral, the renovation expert noted that she's turning off the comments on her post due to the "hate" coming her way.

The caption reads, in part: "I'm reading the DMs -ignoring the headlines. I'm turning of [sic] the comments - if the hate was just geared at me, I could take it, but the hate toward each other is exactly what we should all be working diligently to work through — go back to human connection, actual conversations instead of internet tit for tat. Let's do better together."

She concludes her caption by clarifying again where she claims the leaked footage, taken "4 years ago," came from, writing "someone personal" had access to it. She claims the person wanted money for the footage, and because she "didn't pay" them, "here we are."

"4 years ago - I was not contracted to any network or show. (think free agent in sports). Any crew hired, paid by me, the footage is mine. My crew didn't steal my footage," she wrote in part.

She continued, alleging of the footage, "Someone personal (not crew) had access, demanded $, I didn't pay - here we are."

Her latest message comes after she initially apologized for her use of the slur in a text sent toTMZ, saying, "I want to be clear: the word in question is wrong and not part of my vocabulary and never has been, and I apologize to everyone."

Nicole Curtis/Instagram

She laterdoubled down on her apologyin a Feb. 13Instagrampost and reiterated that it was her own footage that was circulating online, not HGTV's or for any show on the network.

"I am sorry. I am filled with remorse and regret, just as much as I was one second after that word was said 4 years ago in 2022," the caption read. She added, "I'm not addressing this because I was 'caught'. I'm here because I am not okay with the fact that I said that."

The statement added, "We have removed the series from all HGTV platforms. We remain dedicated to fostering a culture of respect and inclusion across our content and our workplace."

Trump wants his Board of Peace to solve world conflicts. It still has a lot of work to do in Gaza

JERUSALEM (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump'sBoard of Peaceisset to meetfor the first time on Thursday in Washington, an early test of whether one of his marquee foreign policy initiatives can gain broad support and advance the shaky ceasefire agreementin the Gaza Strip.

Board of Peace Explainer

Trump'sballooning ambitionsfor the board extend from governing and rebuilding Gaza as a futuristic metropolis to challenging the United Nations Security Council's role in solving conflicts. But they could be tempered by the realities of dealing with Gaza, where there has so far been limited progress in achievingthe narrower aimsof the ceasefire.

Palestinians, including many civilians, are still being killed innear-daily strikesthat Israel says are aimed at militants who threaten or attack its forces. Hamas hasn't disarmed, no international forces have deployed, and a Palestinian committee meant to take over from Hamas is stuck in neighboring Egypt.

"If this meeting does not result in fast, tangible improvements on the ground — and particularly on the humanitarian front — its credibility will quickly crumble," said Max Rodenbeck, Israel-Palestine Project Director at the International Crisis Group, a global think tank.

A new international body

More than two dozen nations have signed on as the board'sfounding members.

The list includes Israel and other regional heavyweights involved in ceasefire negotiations, as well as countries from outside the Middle East whose leaders support Trump or hope to gain his favor. U.S. allies like France, Norway and Swedenhave so far declined.

Israelis are suspicious of the involvement of Qatar and Turkey, which have longstanding relations with Hamas. Palestinians object because their representatives weren't invited to the board, even as it weighs the future of a territory that is home to some 2 million of them.

Trump, the self-appointed chairman of the board, said earlier this week that member countrieshad pledged $5 billiontoward rebuilding Gaza and would commit thousands of personnel to peacekeeping and policing. No financial pledges — or an agenda for this week's meeting — have been made public.

"We want to make it successful. I think it has the chance to be the most consequential board ever assembled of any kind," Trump told reporters on Monday. He reiterated his criticism of the U.N.'s record on resolving international disputes.

Ambitious plans

Trump — along with son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff — has laid out ambitious plans for rebuilding Gaza with international investment.

In Davos last month,Kushner suggestedreconstruction could be complete in a matter of three years, even though U.N. forecasts suggest that clearing rubble and demining alone could take much longer.

Kushner's slides showed a reconstructed Gaza with a coastal tourism strip, industrial zones and data centers. He conceded that rebuilding would begin only in demilitarized areas and that security would be essential to attract investment.

The latest joint estimate by the U.N., European Union and World Bank says reconstruction will cost about $70 billion.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said there will be no reconstruction until Hamas disarms, leaving Palestinians in limbo among the widespread devastation.

Halting progress

The ceasefire deal has halted major military operations,freed the last hostagesheld by Hamas and ramped up aid deliveries to Gaza. But a lasting resolution to the two-year war ignited byHamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attackinto Israel remains elusive.

The deal envisions Hamas handing over its weapons and Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza as international forces deploy. Itleft some questions unanswered and set no timelineto secure buy-in and defer confrontation over those issues.

Israel and the U.S. say Hamas' disarmament is key to progress on the other fronts. Arab and Muslim members of the Board of Peace have accused Israel of undermining the ceasefire with its daily strikes and want the U.S. to rein in its close ally. They have called on Hamas to disarm but say Israel's withdrawal is just as important.

Israel defines demilitarization as extending from heavy weapons like rocket-propelled grenades all the way down to rifles. Netanyahu said Sunday that Hamas would have to give up roughly 60,000 automatic rifles.

Despite accepting the agreement, Hamas has made only vague or conditional commitments to disarm as part of a process leading to the establishment of a Palestinian state. Senior Hamas officials have saidtheir security forcesneed to retain some weapons in order to maintain law and order during the transition.

Some of the ideas under discussion include Hamas "freezing" its arms by placing them in sealed depots under outside supervision or giving up heavy weapons while keeping some handguns for policing, according to two regional officials involved in the negotiations. One official said disarmament is a complicated process that could take months. The officials requested anonymity to discuss the negotiations.

It's far from certain that Israel or the United States would agree to such ideas.

A stabilization force

The ceasefire deal also calls for a temporary International Stabilization Force made up of soldiers from Arab and Muslim-majority countries to vet, train and support to a new Palestinian police force. Its mandate is not spelled out in detail, but would include securing aid deliveries and preventing weapons smuggling.

Countries being asked to contribute to the force insist that any deployment be framed as a peacekeeping mission. They have refused to take part in the disarmament of Hamas, a job that could put them in harm's way. Another concern is the presence ofarmed groups allied with Israel.

Indonesia has begun training a contingent ofup to 8,000 soldiersfor the force, though its foreign minister said last week that they would not take part in disarmament.

Postwar governance

Under the ceasefire agreement, Hamasis to hand over powerto a transitional committee of politically independent Palestinian administrators. The U.S. has named a 15-member committee and tapped former U.N. envoy Nickolay Mladenov to oversee them as the board's envoy to Gaza.

The committee, led by former Palestinian Authority deputy minister Ali Shaath, has not yet been granted Israeli permission to enter Gaza from Egypt. Israel hasn't commented on the matter.

Mladenov said last week that the committee will not be able to work unless Hamas hands over power and ceasefire violations stop.

"We're only embarrassing the committee and ultimately making it ineffective," he said at the Munich Security Conference. "All of this needs to move very fast."

Potomac River E-coli levels skyrocket after 240 million gallons of sewage pour into waterway

An ecological crisis of "historic proportion" is underwayin the Potomac Riverafter a massive sewer pipe collapse north of Washington, D.C., the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Tuesday.

The millions of gallons of diseased waste polluting the major waterway that winds through the nation's capital is one of the largest sewage spills in U.S. history, according to theUniversity of Maryland.

E.coli bacteria levels in the Potomac were hundreds of times higher than the level the EPA considers safe when the water was tested this week at the site of the spill, officials from utility company DC Water said Tuesday.

Some 243.5 million gallons of raw sewage have poured into the Potomac since the Jan. 19 mishap, DC Water said.

But the waters near the capital city's Georgetown neighborhood fell within the EPA's safety limits when tested on Monday and weren't a risk for gastrointestinal illness and skin infections — largely because the river has been frozen over for weeks.

DC Water has told area residents to avoid the untreated sewage. They urge anyone who comes into contact with the wastewater to leave the area immediately, wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and clean water, and seek medical attention if symptoms occur.

Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Squad in Maryland is warning their first responders to treat any emergency calls in or near the Potomac River spill site as "Hazmat calls," NBC Washington reports. Responders should wear personal protective equipment during those calls due to the dangerous levels of E. coli and other contaminants in the water.

As for the politics around the water crisis, those continued to be toxic.

"The Potomac Interceptor overflow is a sewage crisis of historic proportion," the EPA said in their first statement on the disaster. "Never should any American family, community, or waterway ever have to experience this level of extensive environmental damage."

The EPA, it said, has "the experience and track record to fulfill President Trump's strong desire to get this mess cleaned up as fast as humanly possible."

But, the EPA says, neither officials in Maryland, where the sewage pipe burst, nor in Washington, D.C., have sought the EPA's help.

The EPA's claim came on the same day that Trumpposted on Truth Socialthat the spill is "not at all" handled by the federal government and that if the governors of Maryland and Virginia, and the D.C. mayor — all three of whom are Democrats — want federal assistance, they will have to ask "politely" for help.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore rejected the president's claims and said it was indeed the federal government's responsibility.

"I know this is breaking news to everyone, but the President is not telling the truth," Moore said.

Moore said it's been the job of the federal government to maintain that pipe "for the past century" and that thus far, Maryland's Department of the Environment has been fixing the pipe and cleaning-up the mess while the EPA has done nothing.

"Now that it is essentially 99% contained," Moore said, "the President of the United States is finally realizing that this was his job, and he hasn't been doing it for the past month."

The 54-mile Potomac Interceptor carries about 60 million gallons of wastewater every day from as far away as Dulles Airport in Sterling, Virginia, to the Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Southwest D.C. for treatment.

By Jan. 24, crews from DC Water were able to complete a bypass to reroute wastewater around the collapsed section of pipe and back into the sewer system.

The remaining emergency repairs to the pipe will be complete by mid-March, according to DC Water.

The long-term fixes to ensure that this pipe remains functional in the years to come will take 9 to 10 months, they said.

"The next critical step is to install a steel bulkhead gate later this week to isolate the damaged pipe section,"DC Water said in a statement. "Once the gate is in place, crews will work to pump out any remaining wastewater at the collapse site and start excavation to remove the rock dam that has been blocking inspection and repair."

It's also safe to drink the water in the nation's capital.

"There is no impact to the drinking water supply," DC Water Spokesperson Sherri Lewis told NBC Washington. "The sewer system, the water system are completely separate."

Nancy Guthrie DNA findings so far as key results remain pending

Although DNA evidence collected in theNancy Guthrie investigationhas yet to yield matches, law enforcement is still bracing for results that could expose cracks in the southern Arizona case garnering national attention.

As the search for "Today" anchorSavannah Guthrie's missing mother has stretched into its third week, the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI continue to pursue various leads, review surveillance footage and analyze DNA evidence recovered at and near the 84-year-old's home outside Tucson, Arizona.

Authorities have not named a person of interest as of Tuesday, Feb. 17, but are seeking to identifya suspect shown in doorbell camera footage at Guthrie's front door, released on Feb. 10. The suspect is described as a "male, approximately 5'9"-5'10" tall, with an average build."

Gloves found in a field near a road appear to match those worn by the suspect in the doorbell camera video, the FBI confirmed to USA TODAY on Feb. 15.

Here's what to know about the DNA evidence collected, what it has revealed so far and what results authorities are awaiting.

"Today" show host Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, was seemingly abducted from her home outside Tucson, Arizona, in the early hours of Feb. 1, 2026. Authorities released photos and videos on Feb. 10, of a potential suspect who was caught tampering with a camera on her front door on the morning of her disappearance.

" style="max-width:100%; height:auto; border-radius:6px; margin:10px 0;" loading="lazy" /> Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" anchor Savannah Guthrie is missing, and Arizona officials say they are investigating her disappearance as a "crime."

Search for Nancy Guthrie and person suspected of taking her continues

"Today" show host Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother,Nancy Guthrie, was seemingly abducted from her home outside Tucson, Arizona, in the early hours of Feb. 1, 2026. Authorities released photos and videos on Feb. 10, of a potential suspect who was caught tampering with a camera on her front door on the morning of her disappearance.

What DNA has been collected in Savannah Guthrie missing mom case?

Among the DNA recovered at the scene weredried blood dropletsspotted on the Spanish tile entrance at the home on Feb. 3, which the Pima County Sheriff's Department later confirmed was Nancy Guthrie's blood.

The sheriff revealed on Feb. 13 that investigators collected DNA from the 84-year-old's home that did not belong to her or anyone in close contact with her.

Around 16 gloves have been collected near the Guthrie house, the FBI confirmed, while clarifying that most "were searchers' gloves discarded in various areas when they searched the vicinity." Gloves closest to the property, approximately 2 miles away, were sent for testing.

Who is analyzing the DNA?

DNA evidence in the Nancy Guthrie investigation has been sent toDNA Labs International, a private lab in South Florida.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has shut down speculation of friction between local authorities and the FBI, prompted by a Feb. 12Reutersreport citing a "U.S. law enforcement official with knowledge of the case" about a dispute over where to send DNA samples.

In an interview with NBC affiliateKVOApublished Friday, Feb. 13, Nanos confirmed he had disagreed with the bureau's attempt to send "one or two" gloves to its lab close by, but said the FBI eventually agreed that it made more "sense" to centralize the evidence at the Florida lab. "There's no arguing there. There's no fight. Sheriff didn't block anything. This has always been a case where we both work very close together."

What DNA results have been found in Nancy Guthrie case?

The Pima County Sheriff's Department confirmed Tuesday, Feb. 17, that preliminary results failed to match the DNA collection at her home to the gloves the FBI said resembled those of the suspect seen in the surveillance video.

The DNA profile also did not match anyone in the FBI's Combined DNA Index System(CODIS), the sheriff's department said in a Feb. 17 news release.

"Investigators are currently looking into additional investigative genetic genealogy options for DNA evidence to check for matches," the news release said. "CODIS is one option of many databases that are available."

What DNA results are pending?

Following the preliminary results released Tuesday, the FBI is now "awaiting quality control and official confirmation today before putting 'unknown male profile'" into its national database.

Investigators are also awaiting the results for additional DNA evidence found at Nancy Guthrie's home, which did not belong to the missing mother or her inner circle.

New images released by authorities on Feb. 10, 2026, from a Nest camera outside Nancy Guthrie's home show an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at the front door on the morning of her disappearance on Feb. 1.

Nancy Guthrie kidnapping suspect seen in new photos as search continues

New imagesreleased by authorities on Feb. 10, 2026, from a Nest camera outside Nancy Guthrie's home show an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at the front door on the morning of her disappearance on Feb. 1.

What's next in DNA analysis?

In a Feb. 17 interview withNBC News, Nanos said the lack of a match from the DNA found on the gloves is "not the end."

"Now we start with genealogy and some of the partial DNA we have at the home," he told the outlet. "To me, that's more critical than any glove I found 2 miles away. I'm not dismissing the glove 2 miles away, but I have gloves 5 miles away, 10 miles away, so we prioritize."

He continued: "We believe that we may have some DNA there that may be our suspect, but we won't know that until that DNA is separated, sorted out, maybe admitted to CODIS, maybe through genealogy."
