AMNA NAWAZ: Today's other headlines begin in Washington, D.C., where a federal judge declined to give the Associated Press its spot back in the White House press pool for now.

The AP sued three senior Trump aides for barring its reporters from the Oval Office, Air Force One, and other areas after the AP stood firm in using the Gulf of Mexico in its coverage with an explanation that President Trump has moved to rename the body of water the Gulf of America.

The AP says the Constitution's First Amendment prohibits the government from punishing speech.

The White House argues that access to the president is a privilege, not a right.

The Supreme Court today declined to hear a pair of cases from abortion opponents over their right to protest near abortion clinics.

Cities say the laws help limit disturbing behavior outside of clinics.

The court did not provide an explanation for declining the appeals, though conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas disagreed with the decision.

HARRISON FORD, Actor: And the winner goes to "Conclave."

AMNA NAWAZ: "Conclave" won best ensemble, the equivalent of best picture.

The thriller about the selection of a new pope beat out award-season darling "Anora."

And Timothee Chalamet nabbed best actor for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in "A Complete Unknown,: upsetting "The Brutalist" star Adrien Brody for the honor.

"Conclave"'s win comes as the Vatican announced nightly prayers for the ailing Pope Francis.

The Secret Service agent who jumped onto the back of John F. Kennedy's limousine after the president was shot in 1963 has died.

Clint Hill was riding on the running board of a car directly behind Kennedy's when the first shot rang out.

In visuals from the scene, he is the man in the dark suit pushing a distraught Mrs. Kennedy back to her seat as she tried to crawl away.

Hill received Secret Service awards and was promoted for his actions that day, but in later years he spoke of his profound guilt over not being able to save the president.

Clint Hill was 93 years old.

And the music world has lost a giant.

Roberta Flack, a Grammy-winning singer best known for her pop and R&B hits in the early 1970s, died today.

A piano prodigy from an early age, Flack was catapulted to fame in her 30s thanks in part to Clint Eastwood.

Her cover of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" appeared in his 1971 movie "Play Misty for Me," earning a Grammy for record of the year.

She followed it up with "Killing Me Softly" in 1973, which also won the Grammy.

That made her the first artist to win back-to-back Grammys for best record.

Reflecting on her hit more than 20 years later, Flack spoke of her pride that the song endures.

ROBERTA FLACK, Musician: You can hear it all over the world to this day.

So I'm just so grateful that a song that I'm associated with has lasted for over two decades.

AMNA NAWAZ: Those two decades have, of course, stretched to more than five.

Flack also used her platform to sing about racial and social issues throughout her career.

In 2022, the singer announced she had ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease, which left her unable to perform.

Roberta Flack was 88 years old.
