Good morning. It's Tuesday, January 31. In an extraordinary public showdown, President Trump fired the acting attorney general of the United States after she publicly questioned the constitutionality of his refugee and immigration ban and refused to defend it in court.

The French Canadian university student charged with killing six Muslim men during evening prayers at a Quebec City mosque was known for far-right, nationalist views and his support of the French rightist party led by Marine Le Pen.
