It was a concert for the record books... more than two million people gathered for a free concert in Rio given by Lady Gaga. You expect security to be tight for an event like this and it was - for good reason. Today we're learning more about how concert officials neutralized a bomb threat that could have ended in disaster.  And ordinarily rapper Sean Diddy Combs would be attending the annual Met Costume Gala this evening. Instead, he's in court for day one of his federal trial on sex trafficking charges.  Plus, even supporters of President Trump say a meme he sent out was too far. Over the weekend, the president posted an image of himself as Pope, joking that he'd like to be Pope. Coming as the college of cardinals is about to meet in its secret conclave to select the next pontiff, there is an uproar over what many call a tasteless post.  And now a reminder that Wednesday is the deadline to get your Real ID driver's license. You'll need it to travel domestically by plane. And fair warning: there are long lines at DMVs across the country - so prepare to wait.

It was created to give parents a safe place for their children during the summer and afterschool. And today three children and an 18-year-old girl who were at a daycare center are dead - killed when authorities say a woman drove through the school. And last week a devastating wildfire in New Jersey sent smoke billowing over Manhattan. A nineteen-year-old is accused of starting the blaze and it's putting the spotlight on bonfire parties - popular with local teenagers. Plus, today marks 100 days since Donald Trump returned to the White House, but his approval ratings are definitely not where he'd like them to be. And that lead to a late-night White House meltdown. And Beyonce kicked off her Cowboy Carter tour last night in Los Angeles in front of a star-studded crowd. Despite talk of a ticket sale slump...it was a packed stadium. And the fans went wild when she flew above them in a classic car.

At least two arrests in connection with the purse snatching of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Turns out both suspects are allegedly career criminals in the country illegally -- unaware of whose bag was being nabbed. As a White House official said today, they picked the wrong person. And you've probably seen that spectacular footage of a boat crash over the weekend on Lake Havasu. They were hoping to make history with a new speed record, but instead they've made different headlines. Incredibly, they're alive to read them. Plus, when you're trying to sell a book, you need to get noticed - and former Super Bowl winning coach Bill Belichick is definitely getting noticed, thanks to his much-younger girlfriend who put the kibosh on one question during an interview. And a new trend circulating on social media might actually be good - for your wallet. It's called 'No Buy,' and its basically people going public with their plan to cut back or eliminate unnecessary spending. It's no accident that it's trending just when surveys reveal Americans’ biggest concerns are all pocketbook issues.

 This is not something they cover during the airline safety briefing: if the ceiling starts to fall in, hold it up. That's exactly what happened on a Delta jet from Atlanta to Chicago. Passengers found themselves holding up the ceiling at 30,000 feet! And the crazy thing is - the same problem happened on another Delta jet on the same day! And an air quality alert for the Big Apple... and the reason is wildfires. More than 15,000 acres in New Jersey have been burned and the smoke is now in New York City. The smoke may become so bad to breathe we could see the return of masks. Plus, in Vatican City, a steady stream of mourners have passed by the casket of the late Pope Francis. On day two of the three-day period of viewing, when the public was first admitted into St. Peters, there was a bit of a bottleneck -- but the lines are moving rather quickly. Perhaps because church officials decided to keep the basilica open overnight. And more than 3.6 million babies were born in the U.S. last year. That sounds like a lot -- but it's below the birthrate needed to maintain the population stable through births alone. President Trump wants to address that - by paying women $5000 to have a child. Not everyone is applauding the idea.

The faithful poured into Vatican City today to pay their respects to Pope Francis whose body will lie in state inside St. Peter’s Basilica for three days leading up to Saturday’s funeral. There's nothing more majestic than the funeral of a Pope and even though Pope Francis left instructions that things should be toned down to reflect his modesty, it's still quite a spectacle. And back home in the states, a couple feels lucky to be alive after they were robbed at gunpoint. Just as they were coming home from dinner, three men with guns came out of nowhere, and the couple immediately gave them everything - - even their clothes off their back. Plus, less politics. More business. That's the word from Elon Musk after announcing Tesla's profits have dropped a staggering 71%. And he's rebranding the CyberTruck... suggesting it's less space age and more plain ole' truck. And according to President Trump's latest physical, he weighs 224 pounds... a lot less than his highest weight. Now a report in the daily beast questions whether he has Ozempic to thank.

At the moment the late pontiff's body remains in a chapel inside his private residence, but tomorrow he will be moved to St. Peter's basilica, where the Pope will lie in repose in an open casket so the faithful here in Rome may pay their last respects. And back home in the states, opening statements began today in the retrial of Karen Read - the woman accused of murdering her Boston cop boyfriend by mowing him down with her SUV. As Read entered the court for her second trial, she said she was feeling anxious, but ready. Plus, every minute, an estimated 500 purses are stolen in the United States. And over the weekend, the purse belonging to homeland security secretary Kristi Noem was one of them. As you may have heard, her bag was snatched while she was dining at a DC restaurant with her family on Easter Sunday. The thief got away with 3 thousand dollars cash and Noem's government access badge - which raises security concerns. And eleven years ago, an adorable little girl named Grace was dying of stage four cancer. She and her family flew here to Rome to meet Pope Francis -- and what do you know... her cancer went into remission and today she's doing great.
