Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about Friday: 1.

TRUMP GOES OFF SCRIPT IN WEST VIRGINIA He was expected to talk about tax cuts, but instead revived disproven claims about voter fraud and linked immigration to an increase in violence and rapes. 3. FACEBOOK'S LATEST STUNNING ADMISSION ON PRIVACY BREACHES Nearly all of the company's 2.2 billion users have probably had public data scraped by "malicious actors" who could use it to plant malware or scam people. 4.

WHERE A FORMER PRESIDENT FACES ARREST A judge in Brazil has issued an arrest warrant for the once wildly popular ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva after his appeal of a corruption conviction failed. 6. NYPD WILL STOP SURVEILLING GROUPS BASED ON RELIGION OR ETHNICITY The settlement comes as a result of lawsuit that claimed it illegally spied on Muslims for years after Sept. 11 attacks. 7. STUDENTS IN ISOLATED ARIZONA TRIBE STEP CLOSER TO EDUCATION REFORM A judge ruled that adversity and trauma faced by students at the impoverished Havasupai reservation can be learning disabilities that could require additional government services. 8. WHY PUERTO RICO IS CLOSING 283 SCHOOLS The territory has suffered a sharp drop in enrollment due to the island's long economic crisis and families who left after Hurricane Maria. 9. WHAT YOU DON'T NEED TO GROW VEGGIES IN ANTARCTICA Scientists harvested their first crop grown without soil, daylight or pesticides using methods that could help humans grow food on the Moon or Mars. 10. MASTERS COULD BE FILLED WITH LANDMARK VICTORIES Tiger Woods is eyeing his first victory at Augusta since 2005, Phil Mickelson is trying to become the oldest Masters champion, and Rory McIlroy looks to complete a career Grand Slam.
