Thursday, April 28:
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (search) offered a deal to Democrats Thursday to break the filibuster deadlock over President Bush's judicial nominees but it appeared unlikely that Democrats will accept the plan. Brit has an exclusive interview with Frist to find out if his plan can end the impasse over judicial nominees.
After nearly three months of political wrangling, Iraq's interim National Assembly (search) approved a partial Cabinet, ushering in the country's first elected government since the fall of Saddam Hussein and raising hopes for an end to the insurgency. Bret Baier has the details.
Plus, the Republicans are unveiling a plan they hope will sway the Democrats to give them an up or down vote on judicial nominees rather than use the nuclear option. Major Garrett (search) explains.
And in the battle over U.N. nominee John Bolton (search), Republican and Democratic foreign relations committee staff members are conducting joint interviews in an effort to gain more information on Bolton. James Rosen has more.
President Bush (search) addresses the nation tonight in his first formal press conference in over a year, the fourth of his Presidency. Mr. Bush's opening remarks are expected to focus mainly on social security. Jim Angle gives us a preview.
Russian President Vladimir Putin (search) is in Israel on an historic visit. While there he said that Iran needs to do a better job assuring the world community that they will not acquire nuclear weapons and that missiles, he has agreed to sell to Syria, are no threat to Israel. Mike Tobin has a report.

About the Show
Anchored by Washington news veteran Brit Hume, "Special Report with Brit Hume" provides an in-depth look at the day's news and offers a daily topical discussion of political issues impacting the nation.
Hume serves as host to key newsmakers, political pundits and FOX News contributors exchanging views about political matters from taxes and Social Security to international affairs and the political scandal of the day.
Hume brings a historical perspective to the political scene that is rarely rivaled. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., he has covered the policies, procedures and players in the national game called politics for more than 30 years. The Baltimore Sun referred to him as "the very personification of the political establishment."
Each program features a two-minute segment called The Grapevine, which reels off the latest outrageous news nuggets, political poll results and in-the-Beltway gossip that viewers will not see on any other news program. The New York Daily News describes The Grapevine as a must see that, "will make you sound smart around the water cooler… the next day."
FOX News' Team Washington provides live reports from the White House, Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court and key federal agencies. Seasoned correspondents, including Carl Cameron, Wendell Goler and Major Garrett, explore political hot spots, races and legislative battles being waged around the nation and abroad.
Hume wraps up each program with a lively roundtable discussion featuring Mara Liasson of National Public Radio, Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard and Mort Kondracke of Roll Call.
