It's day eleven in former President Trump's criminal hush money trial in New York. The judge in the trial clarified to Trump that the gag order imposed on him doesn't prevent him from testifying. Trump is accused of falsifying business records in order to cover up payments made to an adult film star Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election.       The NYPD continues to arrest protesters at universities in New York City. This morning, dozens were taken into custody as police broke up encampments at NYU and The New School in Lower Manhattan. Students had been on school property with tents and signs.        Russian forces and U.S. troops are operating out of the same military base in Niger [[ NEE-jair ]]. Reports say Russian forces are using a separate hangar on the base and are not mingling with U.S. troops, but the move puts U.S. and Russian troops in close proximity at a time when tensions between the two countries are heating up over the war in Ukraine. The U.S. is readying to withdraw troops from Niger following last year's coup in the country.       Areas in suburban Houston are under mandatory evacuations as flood waters cause the San Jacinto River continue to rise. More than nine-inches of rain has fallen and the river is running 20-feet above normal. Experts predict it will surge another 8-feet today.       A second execution by nitrogen gas has been authorized by the Alabama Supreme Court. The decision was handed down Thursday, after Attorney General Steve Marshall requested the alternative method be used to execute Alan Eugene Miller, who survived a lethal injection attempt in 2022. Back in January, convicted death row inmate Kenneth Smith became the first person to be put to death in Alabama with the use of nitrogen hypoxia.       The NBA Playoffs continue tonight with two games. In the Eastern Conference, the Cleveland Cavaliers will attempt to knock out the Magic in Orlando in game six of their series. In the West, the Los Angeles Clippers will try to fight off elimination against the Mavericks in Dallas in game six.
