Iran rejects US terms to end the war, while rising gas prices fuel voter discontent ahead of midterm elections. In the UK, five suspects were arrested for plotting a terror attack near a US military base used for strikes on Iran. A powerful nor'easter brings severe coastal flooding and high winds to the Northeast US. Additionally, soaring childcare costs are driving more families to rely on grandparents for care, and the "Avengers: Endgame" re-release leads the weekend box office.
