We're taking a look at what you had to say on some of the biggest stories of the week

This is straight from you. Your questions, your comments from YouTube, fact-checked and answered

First up, one viewer wants to know why the suspect in Charlie Kirk's killing is not facing terrorism or hate crime charges
0:20
All right, so here's the deal. Under federal law, there's no specific domestic terrorism crime, even if officials call it that
0:29
Politico notes that to trigger federal charges, a case usually has to involve federal property
0:35
a federal official, or a hate crime based on race, religion, gender, not political beliefs
0:43
In this case, Utah prosecutors have charged Tyler Robinson in state court with aggravated murder
0:49
which makes him eligible for the death penalty, plus he's facing other felonies
0:53
A former DOJ official told Politico there is no clear federal crime yet, but if evidence of protective bias emerges, that could change
1:05
Hope that helps. A viewer wanted to know why Egypt does not just take in Gazans by just ceding land to the refugees
1:13
Egypt's answer is a firm no. President el says forcing Gazans into Sinai which is in northeast Egypt would erase Palestinian claims to a future state The Rafa crossing into Egypt remains aid only not relocation
1:32
Egypt and Jordan have both rejected resettlement proposals, warning it would destabilize their countries and undermine a two-state solution
1:41
So while Egypt does have territory, the political red line remains clear
1:45
No permanent resettlement of throngs of people outside Gaza. And finally, we see your questions about that story we brought you yesterday on bringing back the dodo
1:55
This viewer asked, what's the benefit, and could it be dangerous? Colossal Biosciences says it's one step closer, growing pigeon germ cells to eventually create a dodo-like bird
2:08
The plan involves using gene-edited chickens as surrogates and eventually reintroducing the offspring into protected reserves in Mauritius, the bird's native habitat in the Indian Ocean
2:21
But experts warn this won't be a true dodo, just a generic lookalike
2:27
And some scientists argue the buzz around de-extinction may divert money from protecting actual endangered species
2:34
The company says dodo chicks could hatch within five to seven years
