**Source 7: 5 things to know for April 29: Free speech, King Charles, tornado devastation, Elon Musk, passports - CNN**

Content: #### 5️⃣ Passports

The US will soon begin issuing passports featuring an image of President Trump inside. It appears to be the most prominent use yet of Trump’s likeness in items tied to the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, some analysts say. Unlike a commemorative coin or national park pass bearing the president’s image — some of which are already in circulation — a US passport is an internationally recognized form of identification that is typically valid for 10 years.

### Article Body

A royal reassurance tour, war‑time brinkmanship, and markets poised on an AI knife’s edge—here’s what’s moving the day.

The Palace and the Hill
- King Charles III and Queen Camilla paid respects at New York’s 9/11 Memorial and visited Harlem, part of a U.S. swing calibrated to show steadiness amid global tumult [[2]](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/29/us/5-things-pm-april-29-trnd). A veteran British broadcaster framed the state visit as “a moment of stability and reassurance,” even as the monarch sought to avoid domestic political crossfire [[3]](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/29/tv/video/amanpour-husain-charles-royal-visit-trump). For policy watchers, the full transcript of the King’s address to Congress is now available for close reading [[1]](https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/associated-press-top-photos-april-29-2026-01c504e0a7101f571ff2c19aeb10b846).

Iran, war, and accountability
- Former President Trump has discussed continuing a blockade of Iranian ports for months, underscoring the high‑stakes game of pressure and counter‑pressure shaping the conflict’s next phase [[2]](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/29/us/5-things-pm-april-29-trnd). Meanwhile, two months after an airstrike killed 168 children at an Iranian school, families and advocates are still pushing for answers and responsibility—a grim reminder of the war’s civilian toll [[4]](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/29/world/video/iran-war-school-strike-children-lead-jake-tapper).

Ukraine’s long reach
- Another Russian oil facility burned as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy touted Kyiv’s expanding drone reach—a strategy aimed at stretching Russian logistics and driving up the Kremlin’s wartime costs [[1]](https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/associated-press-top-photos-april-29-2026-01c504e0a7101f571ff2c19aeb10b846).

Energy realignment: UAE after OPEC
- With the UAE charting a new course after its looming withdrawal from OPEC, officials are signaling a pragmatic pivot—one with implications for production policy, regional alliances, and price stability in an already jittery oil market [[6]](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/29/world/video/uae-post-opec-strategy-alotaiba-ctw-intv-042909aseg2-cnni-world-fast?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_google).

Markets: AI earnings and the Fed
- U.S. equity futures were mixed ahead of a marquee stretch of Big Tech earnings and the Federal Reserve’s meeting, as investors gauge whether heavy AI spending is translating into durable cash flows. Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet were on deck as the bell approached [[5]](https://www.reuters.com/business/wall-street-futures-mixed-ahead-big-tech-earnings-fed-meeting-2026-04-29/). Later, Meta reported a big revenue jump and flagged higher spending—another data point in the “pay now, scale later” AI thesis [[8]](https://www.wsj.com/business/earnings/meta-meta-q1-2026-earnings-report-ae021875).

Severe weather and a policy curveball at home
- A powerful tornado tore through Mineral Wells, Texas, injuring several people and flattening parts of town as a multiday outbreak strafed the South and Midwest. Officials expect a fuller damage assessment today [[7]](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/29/us/5-things-to-know-for-april-29-free-speech-king-charles-tornado-devastation-elon-musk-passports?iid=cnn_buildContentRecirc_end_recirc&recs_exp=more-from-cnn-right-rail&tenant_id=related.en). Separately, the U.S. will begin issuing passports that include an image of President Trump inside—an unusually prominent placement tied to America’s 250th anniversary commemorations [[7]](https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/29/us/5-things-to-know-for-april-29-free-speech-king-charles-tornado-devastation-elon-musk-passports?iid=cnn_buildContentRecirc_end_recirc&recs_exp=more-from-cnn-right-rail&tenant_id=related.en).

And finally, a note of wonder
- In a bittersweet maritime coda, “Timmy” the humpback whale—whose plight captured public attention—was carried by barge toward the North Sea, a poignant image among AP’s top photos of the day [[1]](https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/associated-press-top-photos-april-29-2026-01c504e0a7101f571ff2c19aeb10b846).
