[00:14] Elise Moreau: recoveries, and new scrutiny of ICE home entry tactics.
[00:21] Elise Moreau: Bright up...
[00:22] Elise Moreau: First up, the Great British Bake Off is switching judges.
[00:28] Elise Moreau: Nigella Lawson is set to replace Prue Life for the show's next series.
[00:34] Elise Moreau: Channel 4 confirms Lawson will join Paul Hollywood at the judging table, alongside hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding.
[00:44] Elise Moreau: Pru Lithe has been a judge since 2017.
[00:48] Elise Moreau: She says now feels like the time to step back from the program.
[00:53] Evelyn Hartwell: Bake off works because it's comfort and ritual.
[00:58] Evelyn Hartwell: But when you change the people at the center, it can reset expectations fast.
[01:05] Evelyn Hartwell: Turning now to Gaza, Israel says it recovered the remains of the final deceased hostage still in the enclave.
[01:14] Evelyn Hartwell: It's the first recovery of its kind since 2014.
[01:18] Evelyn Hartwell: The Israeli military identifies the person as Ren Gavili.
[01:23] Evelyn Hartwell: He was an Israeli police officer killed on October 7, 2023, and his body was taken to Gaza.
[01:33] Evelyn Hartwell: Officials say forensic teams confirmed the identification, and Israel notified his family ahead of burial arrangements.
[01:42] Elise Moreau: This lands at a delicate moment. Israel has tied movement on Rafa and next-stage talks to the return of all hostages.
[01:54] Evelyn Hartwell: U.S. officials credit Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey with pushing Hamas to cooperate.
[02:02] Evelyn Hartwell: Hamas, for its part, calls the handover a commitment to the ceasefire's first phase.
[02:08] Evelyn Hartwell: Next,
[02:10] Evelyn Hartwell: new reporting says ICE officers have forcibly entered homes without judicial warrants,
[02:16] Evelyn Hartwell: relying instead on administrative warrants.
[02:21] Evelyn Hartwell: NBC News reports, an internal memo dated May 12, 2025, tells officers they can enter homes if there is an order to remove someone from the country.
[02:35] Evelyn Hartwell: Administrative warrants are signed inside ICE field offices.
[02:40] Evelyn Hartwell: Critics say they do not meet the home entry standard of a judge-signed warrant.
[02:47] Elise Moreau: The ACLU says the approach violates Fourth Amendment protections.
[02:53] Elise Moreau: DHS says due process is already complete for people with final removal orders.
[03:01] Elise Moreau: The memo also advises limits on timing and force.
[03:06] Elise Moreau: But officials do not say how often home entries have occurred.
[03:12] Evelyn Hartwell: The near-term question is oversight.
[03:15] Evelyn Hartwell: Court challenges could clarify what enforcement can do inside a home and when.
[03:22] Elise Moreau: I'm Elise Moreau.
