AMNA NAWAZ: Also today, President Trump says he struck a deal with Russia to get millions of tons of diesel in a bid to lower U.S.

energy prices ahead of the midterm elections.

Writing on social media, he said that President Vladimir Putin agreed to -- quote -- "immediately supply over 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the American and global marketplace" and that more would follow.

But neither Washington nor Moscow provided further details on how the deal would work, and analysts question whether it can indeed help to tame oil prices.

Just last month, Mr.

Trump signed a sweeping sanctions law targeting Russia's energy revenues, which Russia uses to help fund its war in Ukraine.

Named for the late Senator Lindsey Graham, the law gives the administration the authority to impose steep tariffs on countries that import Russian oil and gas.

President Trump also used his social media platform today to announce his new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia.

The conservative lawyer and commentator is a senior communications adviser at the company that runs TRUTH Social.

She also served briefly as a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security.

She will replace Karoline Leavitt, who left the position in August and is now joining FOX News.

There's been a strong but mixed reaction to the Pentagon's plans to livestream the firing squad execution of Nidal Malik Hasan.

He's the former Army major who shot and killed 13 people at Fort Hood military base in 2009.

Yesterday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he will -- quote -- "make sure" that people are able to watch it.

The execution is scheduled for early December.

It would be the nation's first state-sanctioned public execution since the 1930s.

Some death penalty experts say it could bring transparency to a process that's long been shrouded in secrecy, but many Americans consider it inhumane.

ISAIAH WILSON, American: People should definitely have to -- quote, unquote -- "pay for their crimes," for lack of better words, but, at the end of the day, there's a way to do it.

And we have to not become desensitized to horrendous acts of violence in any aspect.

AMNA NAWAZ: Vice President J.D.

Vance told reporters today he's not sure the livestream will actually happen.

And even if it does, Vance said -- quote -- "I'm not going to be watching it."

President Trump is launching a new effort to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.

He signed a memorandum today to open what the White House is calling a committee of inquiry into whether she made false statements on her mortgage applications.

The inquiry will include a hearing at the White House next month and says Cook is expected to attend.

In June, the Supreme Court ruled that Cook could keep her job, but did not permanently block Trump from firing her.

Cook has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged with a crime.

Authorities in Saudi Arabia say three people were killed at Riyadh's airport today in an attack claimed by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.

At King Khalid International Airport, eyewitness video shows smoke billowing from a plane.

It was the deadliest attack in Saudi Arabia since the kingdom's major offensive against the Houthis last weekend.

Meantime, in Yemen's capital of Sanaa today, a large crowd rallied to show support for the Houthis in their fight against Saudi forces.

A Houthi spokesperson says that Saudi airstrikes hit the city overnight, injuring at least six people.

Saudi authorities have not confirmed the attacks.

In France, local authorities say they have recovered two Renoir paintings that were stolen from a museum last month.

Six people have also been arrested.

Two works, Portrait of Madame Colonna Romano and Young Woman at the Well, had been on loan from the d'Orsay Museum in Paris.

They were stolen from a museum in Southern France, which used to be a home of the impressionist artist.

The theft revived concerns for the nation's cultural treasures after the heist at the Louvre Museum last year.

The French culture minister described today's recovery as a huge relief.

On Wall Street today, stocks managed to end the week with decent gains.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose more than 400 points.

The Nasdaq added more than half-a-percent.

The S&P 500 also closed in positive territory.

And NFL legend, pitchman, and Chicago fixture Mike Ditka has died.

Da Coach, as he was widely known, led the 1985 Chicago Bears to a dominant Super Bowl win.

Before that, he transformed the role of tight end and was known as Iron Mike for his toughness on the field.

In 1988, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

With his trademark mustache, swept-backed hair, and gruff demeanor, Ditka went on to make his mark on pop culture.

ACTORS: Da Bears.

AMNA NAWAZ: He was worshipped by the superfans in the famous "Saturday Night Live" sketches and even appeared as himself.

MIKE DITKA, Former Chicago Bears Coach: Live from New York, it's "Saturday Night."

AMNA NAWAZ: And he poked fun at his tough guy persona on film.

Actor: Do you know even Sammy Sosa?

MIKE DITKA: Hey, zip it, kid.

I'm a coach that knows about winning.

I eat quitters for breakfast and I spit out their bones.

Delicious.

AMNA NAWAZ: Along with his commercial endeavors, Ditka was also a fierce advocate for better health and retirement benefits for former players.

In a statement, his family called him the -- quote -- "heart" of our family.

Mike Ditka was 86 years old.
