                <media:description>A message for customers is displayed through the self-service check-in kiosks of Spirit Airlines after the company ceased global operations at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on May 2, 2026. US air carriers mobilized Saturday to help passengers and crew members stranded by the overnight shutdown of Spirit Airlines, after last-minute talks with creditors and the White House collapsed. The budget airline known for its bright yellow planes succumbed to crushing fuel prices and announced in the early hours of Saturday that &quot;all flights have been canceled, and customer service is no longer available&quot; as it &quot;started winding down its global operations, effective immediately.&quot; (Photo by GIORGIO VIERA / AFP via Getty Images) Photographer: GIORGIO VIERA/AFP</media:description>

                <media:description>US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth speaks during a press briefing at the Pentagon in Washington, DC, on March 31, 2026. Hegseth said Tuesday that talks on ending the Iran war are making progress even as the more than month-long US-Israeli military campaign against the Islamic republic continued. &quot;They are very real. They are ongoing, they are active, and I think, gaining strength,&quot; Hegseth told reporters of the negotiations.
