Former President Trump is back in a New York courtroom as jury selection in his criminal trial resumes. As of now, six jurors have been chosen after one was dismissed this morning. A panel of 12 along with six alternates must ultimately be selected.        911 service is being restored after a widespread outage was reported in four states yesterday. Authorities say residents in parts of Nebraska, Nevada, South Dakota and Texas were unable to call the number. Police say the service was finally restored late Wednesday night In Las Vegas and early this morning in parts of Nebraska.        President Biden will be endorsed by members of the Kennedy family in Philadelphia today. The endorsement is a rebuff of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent run for the White House. Many in his family have broken with him politically over his views.       A Palestinian request for full UN membership will be voted on by the UN Security Council tomorrow. A council resolution needs at least nine votes to pass, and no vetoes by the U.S., Russia, China, France or Britain. The U.S. Ambassador to the UN on Wednesday did not appear in favor of the resolution, and said it would not "necessarily get us to a place" where we can find a two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.       The alibi defense for Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger has been filed just ahead of the deadline. The 29-year-old Kohberger is accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in November of 2022, and has pleaded not guilty. Late Wednesday, Kohberger's lawyers submitted a ten-page filing that claimed he was out driving in the early morning hours of November 13th, "as he often did to hike and run and/or see the moon and stars."        The Philadelphia 76ers are in the NBA Playoffs after beating the Miami Heat in the Play-In Tournament last night. The Heat will now play the Chicago Bulls tomorrow for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference tomorrow. Also tomorrow, the Sacramento Kings will play the New Orleans Pelicans for the eighth seed in the Western Conference.
