Flock\u2019s new privacy reforms do little to quell outrage among vandals targeting its traffic surveillance cameras. Navy could scrap plan to name aircraft carrier after heroic sailor \u2014 and dedicate it to Trump instead. And how Prince Harry\u2019s return could affect his feud with his brother. <\/p>

Here\u2019s what to know today.<\/p>

Flock\u2019s privacy reforms aren\u2019t enough for camera vandals<\/strong><\/h2>

One man spent a night in an Arizona jail after backing his truck into a Flock camera. In Minneapolis, another has gone viral for videos of himself dismantling the equipment with bolt cutters. Both are part of a growing wave of activist vandalism targeting the traffic surveillance technology.<\/p>

NBC News identified 50 areas across the country where Flock cameras have been damaged, spray-painted, smashed or cut down since 2024. CEO Garrett Langley recently announced reforms in response to privacy concerns \u2014 but those targeting the cameras aren\u2019t buying them.<\/p>

\u201cThe changes are bulls—,\u201d said one person charged with vandalism, who described the reforms as \u201ca strategic retreat\u201d to avoid further blowback.<\/p>

The destruction has fueled debate over how best to push back against the technology. But some experts say that as long as the cameras remain in place, they will continue to be a target.<\/p>

Navy discusses renaming aircraft carrier after Trump as USS Lincoln heads home<\/strong><\/h2>

Navy leadership is discussing renaming an aircraft carrier after President Donald Trump instead of a heroic Black service member<\/strong>, according to two U.S. officials.<\/p>

The ship is set to be named the USS Doris Miller, honoring the enlisted sailor who shot down at least one Japanese plane and helped carry wounded Americans to safety during the attack on Pearl Harbor.<\/p>

Meanwhile, the USS Abraham Lincoln is on its way home<\/strong> following an extended nine-month deployment, a U.S. official told NBC News. It\u2019s expected to arrive in San Diego in a few weeks.<\/p>

A replacement carrier, the USS George Washington, is already in the Middle East to begin a deployment, according to Central Command.<\/p>

Can Prince Harry\u2019s return heal his rift with his brother?<\/strong><\/h2>

The strained relationship between Prince Harry and his brother William is no secret. Harry\u2019s 2023 memoir detailed a physical altercation between the pair, and he has also said they are no longer on speaking terms.<\/p>

<\/div>

But whether Harry\u2019s move back to the UK leads to a public reconciliation remains to be seen. Some royal watchers aren\u2019t convinced it will.<\/p>

\u201cWilliam\u2019s anger has in no sense diminished and my bet is it will only be fueled,\u201d said one royal historian and author. \u201cI\u2019m not sure where the brothers go from here.\u201d<\/p>

Another question is whether Harry and Meghan want to return as working royals. One commentator said \u201cWilliam\u2019s blessing\u201d would be crucial, given that he is heir to the throne.<\/p>
