Obamas to break bread with royalty on U.K. visit
Now that's a royal engagement. President Obama and the First Lady on Friday will have lunch with Queen Elizabeth II — one day after the monarch turned 90. He will also have dinner with Prince William, Duchess Kate and Prince Harry as the president continues his visit to Britain. Also on Obama's agenda for Friday is a meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron, which comes amid heated debate about whether Britain should vote to leave the European Union.
Hearing set for CIA interrogation lawsuit
In a hearing, lawyers will weigh how to proceed with a lawsuit regarding the CIA’s interrogation tactics without compromising classified information. The lawsuit, filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of three former prisoners, claims two psychologists with no expert background on al-Qaeda created the interrogation program. It has since been discontinued. The Justice Department, which has typically tried to dismiss such cases invoking the state secrets privilege, submitted a brief suggesting the lawsuit could proceed as long as certain classified details were protected.
Passover begins
Sundown Friday marks the beginning of Passover, the eight-day Jewish holiday that pays homage to the biblical story of the Jews’ exodus from slavery in Egypt. Around the world, millions of Jewish people will sit down for a traditional Seder service and meal — without leavened bread and other off-limits foods. This year, rice and beans could be on the table for the first time in more than 800 years!
New Orleans kicks off Jazz Fest
The 47th annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival starts Friday with music on 11 stages from jazz acts to rock to gospel. Among the headliners Friday are Janelle Monae, Steely Dan and Jason Marsalis. It’s also the first year the festival won’t include soul and R&B singer Allen Toussaint, who died in November. Organizers scheduled tributes for both Toussaint and B.B. King, who died last May, on the closing day of the festival, on May 1.
Leaders to sign Paris climate agreement on Earth Day
World leaders will converge on U.N. headquarters in New York on Friday — Earth Day — to sign the historic Paris climate accord. Approved by 195 countries last December, the non-binding treaty seeks to slow the rise of greenhouse gasses blamed for putting Earth on a dangerous warming path. It sets a target of limiting global warming by 2100 to “well below” 2 degrees Celsius. The ceremony is just one of many events marking Earth Day, created in 1970 to raise support for environmental protection.
