The Biden administration is set to announce new proposals to reduce or cancel student loan debt for millions of borrowers, following the Supreme Court's rejection of the original forgiveness program. The new proposals, expected to be more targeted, aim to ease the burden on borrowers experiencing financial hardship and those with significant interest accrual. The administration's different approach involves a formal rulemaking process and could face legal battles. The proposals could provide a political boost for President Biden, particularly among young voters and borrowers, as student loan debt remains a significant concern. Despite previous actions providing relief for certain groups of borrowers, the new proposals seek to address the broader issue of student loan debt.

French President Emmanuel Macron is traveling to Israel to push for a humanitarian truce and present proposals aimed at preventing further escalation in the conflict with Hamas. Macron will meet with Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas. However, his visit comes after his American, British, German, and Italian counterparts, and some analysts believe France's influence in the region has diminished. Macron's ability to shape events is also constrained by the situation at home, where French nationals are held hostage by Hamas, and tensions are high following recent events in Gaza.

Actors express concerns about the lack of fair wages and dignity, while the AMPTP claims that the document mischaracterizes the negotiations.

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) argued that the ongoing strike will cost studios more if it continues for "weeks and months" than it would cost to agree to writers' demands. The WGA estimates that its proposals would cost an estimated $429 million per year, which is "modest" compared to the billions spent on content every year and the billions in revenues earned each year by the major entertainment companies. The WGA is seeking increased streaming residuals and substantial hikes in minimum pay scales, among other monetary items, as well as significant provisions regarding the way TV is made.
