Trending is a regular segment on Current News that talks about the stories that are getting the most attention. This week, we talk about allegations that the late labor leader Cesar Chavez abused girls and raped Dolores Huerta; the Trump administration’s new plan to patrol the Strait of Horuz; and a Utah jury convicted Kouri Richins of spiking her husband’s drink with fentanyl, so she could collect on multiple life insurance policies.

A breaking news story is an event that elicits nationwide coverage and requires all television and radio stations to interrupt their regular non-news programming (or, in the case of a network newscast, a live break). Breaking news often begins with a countdown sequence or a special graphics opening, followed by a news anchor that welcomes viewers back to the broadcast and introduces the story at hand. Depending on the nature of the story, the newscast may then delve into the analysis and provide further information as needed.
