U.S. stock futures were pointing to a steady Wall Street open Tuesday after the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed erased an over 200-point decline early Monday to close about 69 points higher. Monday's gains were in contrast to Friday's sharp decline. The Dow had its worst trading day in a month Friday, the day after President Donald Trump approved a U.S. airstrike in Baghdad that killed top Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani. On Tuesday, a stampede in Soleimani's hometown of Kerman as his funeral procession was getting underway killed 32 people and injured 190 others.

4. Facebook to remove deepfakes but not Pelosi video
Facebook will remove so-called deepfakes, videos that have been manipulated using artificial intelligence to merge, replace or superimpose content meant to appear authentic. However, Facebook said, "This policy does not extend to content that is parody or satire, or video that has been edited solely to omit or change the order of words." The social media giant told Reuters the new policy won't result in the removable of the heavily edited video that attempted to make House Speaker Nancy Pelosi seem incoherent.
