The Trump administration's attempt to cut off government money from family planning clinics that offer abortions is set to be blocked by a federal judge in Oregon, according to local reports. Donald Trump’s so-called “Title X” rule, which was set to take effect across the country in May, would stop government funds for Planned Parenthood clinics that subsidize birth control for low-income women and other clinics that either provide abortions or refer women to abortion providers. But the Oregonian reported late Tuesday that U.S. District Judge Michael J. McShane will grant a preliminary injunction against the restrictions which he called a “ham-fisted approach to public health policy.” Oregon is one of 20 states that challenged the new rules. The states wanted a national block, but Judge McShane said he’s reluctant to set “national health care” policy and would soon set out how wide-ranging his injunction will be in a formal written ruling.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has arrived in Russia for his meeting with Vladimir Putin and immediately announced that his visit was a dream come true. Kim, dressed in a black coat and matching fedora, met Russian officials and state-owned media as he stepped out of his train at Khasan train station near Russia's border with North Korea. “I have heard a lot about your country and have long dreamt of visiting it,” Kim was quoted as saying. “It’s been seven years since I took the helm, and I’ve only just managed to visit.” He also evoked his dad's “great love for Russia” and said he's hoping for a “successful and useful” trip and wants to discuss the “settlement of the situation in the Korean Peninsula” with Putin. Kim later arrived at Vladivostok, where he'll meet the Russian president, and aides were seen hurriedly cleaning the train as it pulled into the station.

When former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen set out to strengthen efforts to protect the 2020 election from Russian interference, Donald Trump’s chief of staff reportedly warned her to keep it a secret from the president through fear it would upset him. The New York Times reports that, before Nielsen left the Department of Homeland Security earlier this month, she became increasingly concerned about Russia’s continued attempts to disrupt elections despite being caught red-handed in 2016. When she wanted to push ahead with new measures to help fight back earlier this year, chief of staff Mick Mulvaney warned her that Trump still equated discussion of Russian election interference with questions about the legitimacy of his victory. Mulvaney reportedly told her it “wasn’t a great subject and should be kept below his level.” Nielsen eventually gave up on her effort to organize a White House meeting of cabinet secretaries to discuss how to protect next year’s presidential elections.

Details of the bombers who carried out the Easter Sunday terror attacks in Sri Lanka, killing 359 people, are slowly coming to light. One of them is believed to have been “well-educated” and studied in Britain and Australia before coming back to Sri Lanka to carry out the attacks. “We believe that one of the suicide bombers studied in the U.K. and later did his postgraduate in Australia before coming back and settling in Sri Lanka,” said Ruwan Wijewardene, the state minister for defence. Eighteen suspects were arrested overnight, bringing the total number behind bars to 58. However, prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe warned that several suspects—including nine directly linked to the attack—were still at-large. President Maithripala Sirisena has called for a massive security overhaul and ordered the resignations of top officials.

British prime minister Theresa May and Irish president Michael Higgins will both attend the funeral of murdered Northern Irish journalist Lyra McKee which will take place in Belfast later today. McKee, 29, was shot dead by the New IRA last Thursday while reporting on rioting in Derry. The Irish taoiseach (prime minister) Leo Vradkar and opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will also be at the service. Protestant and Catholic clergy will take part in the ceremony, as well as politicians from across the political divide, in order to remember McKee “someone who spoke to and made friends with anybody and everybody, no matter what their background,” her family said. They added that she had a “warm and innocent heart,” and that she was “the greatest listener and someone who had time for everyone.” McKee's partner, Sara Canning, said the service would be a “celebration of her life” and requested that people “wear Hufflepuff, Harry Potter or Marvel related T-shirts ... I know she would love it.”

A former U.S. Marine who allegedly took part in a violent break-in at the North Korean embassy in Madrid has been ordered to remain in U.S. custody ahead of a possible extradition to Spain. Christopher Philip Ahn, 38, was arrested by federal agents in Los Angeles last week. Spain is seeking his extradition on charges that he was among a group of seven who stormed the North Korean embassy in late February with machetes and fake guns, then tied up and physically beat some embassy staff. Spanish officials believe the robbers are part of the so-called Cheollima Civil Defense group which wants to overthrow North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The robbers allegedly took computers, memory drives and a cell phone. North Korea's government condemned the incident as a “grave terrorist attack” and pushed rumors that the FBI was behind the raid. The U.S. State Department has said Washington had nothing to do with it.

Border Patrol agents found an abandoned 3-year-old boy “alone and crying” in a Texas cornfield early Wednesday morning. The kid had his name and a phone number scrawled onto his shoes, according to a tweet from CBP, and have appealed for help to find his family. The distressed boy was found in the Rio Grande Valley near Brownsville, Texas. Rudy Karish, the chief Border Patrol agent in the area, told NBC News he believes the boy was left by smugglers who ran away and left the boy alone when they were approached by agents. The boy is reportedly in “good spirits” after having watched movies at the border station. “Early this morning, USBP Agents found a 3-year-old boy alone and crying in a corn field in TX,” CBP wrote on Twitter. “He had his name & phone numbers written on his shoes. CBP is attempting to reach his family. We believe the boy was with a larger group that ran when they encountered Agents.”

Over 12,000 Boy Scout members were allegedly sexually abused by troop leaders and volunteers, according to an expert who has been investigating the alleged abuse over the past five years. Dr. Janet Warren, a professor in the Department of Psychiatry & Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia’s medical school, testified as part of a January trial about child sex abuse at a Minnesota children's theater company. Her extensive investigation into the handling of sexual abuse within the Boy Scouts from 1944 through 2016 found that as many as 7,819 troop leaders and volunteers allegedly abused as many as 12,254 victims. Warren testified that she and her team gained access to the group's ineligible volunteer files which detailed the alleged abuses. Attorney Jeff Anderson publicly released the numbers at a press conference Tuesday, saying 130 of those alleged perpetrators are in New York and could now face legal action.

About 141 million Americans are breathing unsafe air, according to a new report. That's seven million more than last year. The American Lung Association reports that 43% of Americans are now living in places where they are breathing dirty air. Conditions are believed to be getting worse as global temperatures rise because more wildfires are spewing smoke across the country and more smog is forming on warmer days. “We’re seeing in this year’s report the impacts of climate change on air quality in really stunning terms,” said Paul Billings, a vice president for the association. California, Bakersfield and the Fresno area had some of the worst air quality in the country—Los Angeles continued to rank worst for smog.
