Hundreds of tiki torch-bearing white nationalists marched through the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville, Virginia, Friday night in advance of a larger "Unite the Right" demonstration scheduled Saturday. The marchers chanted slogans like "you will not replace us," "Jews will not replace us," and "blood and soil," the latter a phrase used by the Nazi Party.

Saturday's rally is expected to attract several thousand, plus a heavy contingent of counter-protesters. White nationalists, including members of the Ku Klux Klan, have rallied repeatedly in Charlottesville this year since the city began the process of removing Confederate statues from public land.

"People are scared" there could be violence at Saturday's demonstrations, Brittany Caine-Conley, a member of Charlottesville's Sojourners United Church of Christ, told The Washington Post. "They are becoming more aware of the magnitude of this event and more aware of the violence that is done by the alt-right. And so people are anxious and afraid."

Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer condemned this weekend's gathering as "a cowardly parade of hatred, bigotry, racism, and intolerance march[ing] down the lawns of the architect of our Bill of Rights." "Everyone has a right under the First Amendment to express their opinion peaceably," he added, "so here's mine: Not only as the mayor of Charlottesville, but as a UVA faculty member and alumnus, I am beyond disgusted by this unsanctioned and despicable display of visual intimidation on a college campus."

Bill and Ted are slated to take a most bodacious victory lap.

Actors Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will reunite for a third installment of the Bill & Ted movies, The Hollywood Reporter revealed Tuesday.

The original film, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, became a cult classic after its 1989 release, and its sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, brought the infamous slackers back to the silver screen in 1991. Nearly three decades since the absurdist science fiction flick premiered, Reeves and Winter will reprise their goofiest roles in a script that will be penned by the original creators.

The newest installation will reflect how much time has passed, writes the Reporter, showing the two characters as grown men with families. They'll be forced to time travel once again in order to write a song to save the universe from total destruction. The movie's creators have reportedly been working on another sequel for several years, but just recently brought it to pre-production. Read more at The Hollywood Reporter. Summer Meza

A new Ebola outbreak has hit the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the World Health Organization announced Tuesday.

Two of five patients tested positive for the Ebola virus, revealing the country's ninth outbreak since the disease was identified in 1976. Congo's health ministry is collecting more specimens for testing.

The virus ravaged Sierra Leone, Liberia, and several other West African countries from 2013 to 2016, killing more than 11,000 people. It's been a year since a much smaller Ebola outbreak emerged in the Congo, and the WHO reported its end last July. Quick containment of the virus meant only four people died during the 2017 outbreak, and the WHO hopes to mimic that response again. Kathryn Krawczyk

Former President Barack Obama criticized President Trump's Tuesday decision to withdraw from the Iran deal, publishing a Facebook post that defended the agreement's efficacy.

The Obama administration negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, commonly known as the Iran nuclear deal, along with five other world powers in 2015. The deal lessened economic sanctions on Iran in exchange for Tehran's commitment to curbing its nuclear program and was a major portion of Obama's foreign policy legacy. In dismantling the deal, Obama argued, Trump sent the wrong message to Iran and to America's allies.

"I believe that the decision to put the JCPOA at risk without any Iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake," wrote Obama. The former president, who rarely chimes in on his successor's choices, outlined several reasons why Trump's move was "misguided." The U.S. made a commitment to the other nations in the deal as well, not just Iran, argued Obama, and all of those countries have been continually verifying Iran's compliance in the deal. He additionally wrote that the deal has been effective in preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and said there is "little reason" to risk lifting the restrictions that have kept its nuclear program at bay.

"In a democracy, there will always be changes in policies and priorities from one administration to the next," said Obama. "But the consistent flouting of agreements that our country is a party to risks eroding America's credibility, and puts us at odds with the world's major powers." Read Obama's full post on Facebook.

Pharmaceutical executives appeared before Congress on Tuesday to answer questions about a congressional investigation into drug companies' role in the nation's opioid epidemic, The Washington Post reports.

A Cardinal Health executive, George Barrett, apologized for his drug company's slow response to the unprecedented influx of prescription opioids to small towns in West Virginia, while Joseph Mastandrea of Miami-Luken admitted that his company had worsened the opioid crisis.

Current and former leaders of McKesson, AmerisourceBergen, and H.D. Smith are also testifying in front of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The panel has been probing the pharmaceutical companies in light of discoveries that they shipped 12.3 million doses of hydrocodone and oxycodone to small pharmacies in West Virginia, one of the states that has been hit hardest by the drug epidemic.

Most executives denied that their companies were at fault for the opioid crisis, even as lawmakers expressed anger that the companies hadn't taken responsibility as their products spiraled out of control, reports The Washington Post. The pharmaceutical industry supplies distributors with medications, but does not prescribe drugs or sell to individual patients. The executives who appeared before the panel Tuesday represent companies that make up more than 85 percent of the country's prescription drug shipments.

"With the benefit of hindsight, I wish we had moved faster and asked a different set of questions," said Barrett of Cardinal Health's lack of action in West Virginia. "I am deeply sorry we did not." Read more at The Washington Post. Summer Meza

Charlie Rose is gone, and Christiane Amanpour is here to stay.

The longtime CNN correspondent will lead a new PBS talk show alongside a cast of regular contributors, CNN announced Tuesday. Amanpour & Company will take Rose's former 11 p.m. timeslot starting in July.

Rebroadcasts of CNN's Amanpour have replaced Rose's PBS show since he was fired last November in the wake of sexual harassment allegations. This permanent replacement has been in the works for five months, per CNN. And Amanpour didn't ignore how she got the job.

"I am also thrilled to be a female filling this role at this time!" she said in her statement, alluding to the fact that more than 30 women have shared their allegations of Rose's inappropriate behavior.

When allegations first surfaced, Rose told The Washington Post he "behaved insensitively at times." But when the Post revealed 27 more accounts last week, he called the story "inaccurate." Three of Rose's CBS co-workers have since sued him for sexual harassment. Kathryn Krawczyk

Rejoice, amateur astronomers: On Tuesday, Jupiter will shine like never before.

The fifth planet will be at its most visible from Earth on Tuesday night, Space reported. Its brightness in the night sky means that it will even be visible to the naked eye — although you'll have a better chance of seeing the detailed features of the gas giant if you have a telescope.

Jupiter's brightness is due to a phenomenon called opposition, which occurs when a planet is directly on the opposite side of the sky as the sun when observed from Earth. This means that Jupiter will rise right around the same time as sunset, and set at about sunrise. It's expected to rise at 7:48 p.m. ET, but because of the brightness around twilight, it may not be visible until the sky fully darkens. Jupiter is expected to set at 5:58 a.m. ET on May 9, just a short time after the sunrise.

Because planetary orbits aren't perfect circles, Jupiter's brightest night doesn't mean that it's at its closest to Earth, Space explained. Thursday, May 10, is when Jupiter will reach its closest point, at about 365 million miles away. With the aid of a telescope, you may still be able to catch sight of the planet, as well as its four largest moons, for the next few days.

President Trump's patience with Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt is wearing thin.

White House aides are urging Trump to fire EPA chief Scott Pruitt, and the president himself is reaching his breaking point, The New York Times reports.

Trump has backed Pruitt for months despite the 11 federal investigations the EPA chief faces related to his recent ethics scandals. But officials say that he now sees Pruitt's problems as a "bottomless pit," and doesn't want to wait and see where it ends. CNN reports that Trump is starting to believe that Pruitt's scandals are more disruptive than they're worth and has revetted deputy administrator Andrew Wheeler, who would take over if Pruitt was ousted. The White House has denied that Pruitt is on his way out.

But it isn't Pruitt's spending on lavish trips or choice to live in a lobbyist's condo that has Trump worried about his future in the administration. The Atlantic reported last week that Pruitt had tried to spread negative stories about Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke in an effort to distract from the scandals plaguing the EPA, and CNN reports that Trump thought the machinations crossed a line. White House sources told CNN that "the ground has absolutely shifted" in light of Pruitt's reported lack of loyalty, though the EPA denies Pruitt ever tried to smear Zinke. Summer Meza
