US--SEXUAL MISCONDUCT-DIDDY

Singer Dawn Richard says Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs threatened her with death after she saw him beat Cassie

SUMMARY: Singer Dawn Richard has resumed her testimony in the sex trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, saying he threatened her with death if she told anyone that she saw the influential hip-hop promoter beat his longtime girlfriend, the singer Cassie. Prosecutors were using the testimony from Richard on Monday in Manhattan federal court to show that Combs used violence and threats to control others as he leveraged his fame to get what he wanted. He has pleaded not guilty and his lawyers say prosecutors are showing proof of domestic violence, but not the federal crimes with which he’s charged.

SUMMARY: A husband and wife are set to go on trial in federal court in Denver over what federal prosecutors have said was a stunt to help elect the first Black mayor of Colorado Springs.

The mayor is set to testify as a victim during their trial beginning Monday. But Blackcloud says the mayor was a participant in the plan. Mobolade has emphatically denied any involvement.

SUMMARY: A 25-year-old man believed to be responsible for an explosion that ripped through a Palm Springs, California, fertility clinic left behind “anti-pro-life” writings before carrying out the attack. Investigators are calling the bombing an act of terrorism. The FBI on Sunday identified the man as Guy Edward Bartkus, of nearby Twentynine Palms. Authorities are continuing to piece together the motive and events leading up to Saturday’s bombing. Investigators said the blast killed the suspect.

Reward increased for capture of escaped New Orleans inmates as 7 remain on the lam

SUMMARY: Officials have increased the reward for the capture of seven inmates who escaped from a New Orleans jail by fleeing through a hole behind a toilet. FBI Special Agent Jonathan Trapp said Sunday seven of the 10 men are still at large and the FBI is offering $10,000 per inmate. He said he believes members of the public may be aiding the men.

Supreme Court allows Trump to strip protections from some Venezuelans; deportations could follow

SUMMARY: The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to deportation. The court’s order Monday, with only one noted dissent, puts on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that kept in place Temporary Protected Status for the Venezuelans that would have otherwise expired last month. The status allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife.

US--CONGRESS-TAX CUTS

Trump’s big bill teeters as House conservatives demand more changes

SUMMARY: House Speaker Mike Johnson acknowledges there is still work to do as Republicans struggle to push ahead with President Donald Trump’s big bill of tax breaks, spending cuts and border security funds. Republicans advanced the sprawling package from a key House committee during a rare Sunday night vote. But stark divisions remain. Conservatives are pushing for quicker cuts on Medicaid and green energy programs to help defray costs. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday it’s “absolutely essential” that Republicans unite and pass the bill. It all points to a difficult week ahead for Johnson, who is determined to push the package forward in a House vote ahead of his Memorial Day deadline.

Biden has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer

SUMMARY: Former President Joe Biden’s office says he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The finding came after the 82-year-old reported urinary symptoms, which led doctors to discover a nodule on his prostate. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Friday, with the cancer cells having spread to the bone. His office said Sunday this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, but the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management. Biden and his family are reviewing treatment options with his physicians.

The first few aid trucks have entered Gaza after nearly 3 months of Israel’s blockade

SUMMARY: Israel and the United Nations say the first few aid trucks have entered Gaza following nearly three months of Israel’s complete blockade. Five trucks carrying aid including baby food entered the territory of over 2 million Palestinians via the Kerem Shalom crossing on Monday. That’s according to the Israeli defense body in charge of coordinating aid to Gaza. The U.N. humanitarian chief says the few trucks are a “drop in the ocean of what is urgently needed.” Food security experts last week warned of famine.

Trump planned a separate call with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy in hopes of making progress toward a ceasefire. After the call, Putin said Moscow is ready to work toward ending fighting in Ukraine. He said Russia was in favor of a “peaceful settlement” and that compromises would need to be found to suit both parties. Putin described the conversation with Trump as “frank and meaningful.” The White House did not immediately provide its own account of the call.

Aid workers feel helpless as Israel’s blockade pushes Gaza towards famine

SUMMARY: Humanitarian workers in Gaza have overflowed with anger, frustration and horror as Israel’s blockade pushed the territory into famine. The Associated Press spoke with more than a dozen aid workers. Some have years of experience in international emergencies. They say Gaza’s catastrophe is among the worst they have ever seen. They say it’s more painful because it’s man-made. Israel late Sunday said it would allow a “basic” amount of food, saying it didn’t want a hunger crisis to jeopardize its new military offensive. The first few trucks entered Monday. Aid workers also are worried by Israel’s moves to impose a new aid system in Gaza.

The UK and the EU hail a new chapter as they ink fresh deals, 5 years after Brexit

SUMMARY: Britain and the European Union have hailed a new chapter in their relationship after sealing fresh agreements on defense cooperation and easing trade flows at their first formal summit since Brexit. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the deals will slash red tape, grow the British economy and reset relations with the 27-nation trade bloc. While the EU is the U.K.’s largest trading partner, the government said the U.K. has been hit with a 21% drop in exports since Brexit because of more onerous paperwork and other non-tariff barriers. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called the talks a “historic moment” that benefits both sides. But Britain’s opposition parties slammed the deals as backtracking on Brexit.

EU--RUSSIA-CRACKDOWN

Russia outlaws Amnesty International in latest crackdown on dissent and activists

SUMMARY: Russian authorities have outlawed Amnesty International as an “undesirable organization,” a label that under a 2015 law makes involvement with such organizations a criminal offense. The decision by the Russian Prosecutor General’s office, announced on Monday in an online statement, is the latest in the unrelenting crackdown on Kremlin critics, journalists and activists that intensified to unprecedented levels after Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022. The designation means the international human rights group must stop any work in Russia and it subjects those who cooperate with it or support it to prosecution, including if anyone shares Amnesty International’s reports on social media.

Five trucks carrying aid including baby food entered the territory of over 2 million Palestinians via the Kerem Shalom crossing on Monday. That’s according to the Israeli defense body in charge of coordinating aid to Gaza. The U.N. called it a “welcome development” but said much more aid is needed to address the humanitarian crisis. Food security experts last week warned of famine. Global experts had warned of famine in Gaza after nearly three months of an Israeli blockade. Israel cut off all food, medicine and other supplies to the territory to pressure Hamas over ceasefire terms.

Portugal’s election brings another minority government and a far-right rise

SUMMARY: Portugal’s president has convened political parties for consultations after a general election delivered another minority government. The ballot Sunday also produced an unprecedented showing by populist party Chega (Enough) that added momentum to Europe’s shift to the far-right. The center-right Democratic Alliance captured 89 seats in the 230-seat parliament in Sunday’s vote. The outcome however leaves it without a parliamentary majority and vulnerable to opposition parties that ousted it two months ago in a confidence vote after less than a year in power.

The race pitted front-runner George Simion, the 38-year-old leader of the hard-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, or AUR, against Dan, the incumbent mayor of Bucharest. It was held months after the cancelation of the previous election plunged Romania into its worst political crisis in decades.

Trump’s massive import taxes haven’t done much economic damage -- yet

SUMMARY: For months, American consumers and businesses have been hearing that President Trump’s massive tariffs would drive up prices and hurt the U.S. economy. But the latest economic reports don’t match the doom and gloom. Inflation actually eased last month, and hiring was solid in April. For now, the disconnect has businesses and consumers struggling to reconcile what they were told to expect, what the numbers say and what they are seeing on the ground. So is it time to breathe easy? Not yet, economists say. Trump’s tariffs are still huge, unpredictable and working their way through the system.

Biden was having increasing urinary symptoms and was seen last week by doctors who found a prostate nodule. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and the cancer cells have spread to the bone, his office said in a statement. When caught early, prostate cancer is highly survivable, but it is also the second-leading cause of cancer death in men. About one in eight men will be diagnosed over their lifetime with prostate cancer.

Critics say Trump’s religion agenda will benefit conservative Christians the most

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump’s establishment of a White House Faith Office, a Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias and a Religious Liberty Commission has raised cheers from his base of conservative Christian supporters. But others, including some Christians, are alarmed by Trump’s actions. They say Trump isn’t protecting “religion” in general but granting a privileged status to politically conservative expressions of Christianity. The three entities created under Trump overlap in their marching orders, and in some cases their membership. The White House says it will defend people of any faith. The groups are led by evangelist Paula White-Cain, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

For those who left the country, there is no guarantee they can return. Others have faced challenges reenrolling in school and returning to jobs. A total of more than 4,700 international students had their permission to study in the U.S. canceled this spring.

It’s the end of the world and the Cannes Film Festival does not feel fine

SUMMARY: As much as the Cannes Film Festival basks in the Côte d’Azur sunshine, storm clouds have been all over its movie screens at the festival, which on Monday passed the halfway point. Portents of geopolitical doom are everywhere in a lineup that’s felt unusually in sync with the moment. Tom Cruise, in “Mission: Impossible – Final Awakening,” has battled AI apocalypse. Raoul Peck, in “Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5,” has summoned the author’s totalitarianism warnings for today. Even the new Wes Anderson film “The Phoenician Scheme” is about an oligarch. If the French Riviera has often served as a spectacular retreat from the real world, this year’s Cannes abounds with movies urgently reckoning with it.

Wes Anderson talks ‘The Phoenician Scheme,’ Gene Hackman and his Cannes bus

SUMMARY: With remarkable regularity, Anderson has been crafting movies uniquely his own since his 1996 debut, “Bottle Rocket.” There are variations. Some are expansive family dramas (“The Royal Tenenbaums”). Some are more intimate (“Rushmore”). Some are more densely layered (“Asteroid City”). “The Phoenician Scheme,” a leaner tale which Focus Features will release May 30, is Anderson working in high comic gear. A playful and poignant kind of thriller, it stars Benicio Del Toro as the tycoon Zsa-Zsa Korda, who decides to name his daughter heir to his dubiously accrued fortune.

SUMMARY: Scottie Scheffler has won the PGA Championship for his third major title. He won by five shots but this one was a nail-biter until the final hour. Jon Rahm made a furious charge and tied Scheffler for the lead on the back nine. But then golf’s No. 1 player was mistake-free and left the blunders to everyone else. Scheffler shot a 71 and picked up the Wanamaker Trophy. That puts him halfway home to the career Grand Slam and leaves no doubt about his status in the game. Bryson DeChambeau was among three players who tied for second.
