US--MOTHER’S DAY-ALASKA-MUSK OXEN

An Alaska Mother’s Day tradition: Mingling with ice age survivors on a farm

SUMMARY: It is one of Alaska’s favorite Mother’s Day traditions, getting up close and personal with animals that have survived the ice age. All moms get a flower and free admission Sunday at the Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, about an hour’s drive north of Anchorage. Once inside, they will have the chance to view more than 70 members of the musk ox herd, including babies who have just been born. Mother’s Day is the busiest day of the year, attracting over 1,500 visitors. It is a tradition that now stretches over three generations. Executive director Mark Austin says there would be a riot if they ever didn’t have the traditional opening of the summer season on Mother’s Day.

US--SPLIT JURIES-LOUISIANA

A split jury and a lie sent him to prison. Now he’s working to change Louisiana’s law

SUMMARY: Bobby Gumpright was in the throws of addiction 25 years ago when he fabricated a story that he had been robbed at gunpoint by a Black man. Jermaine Hudson was arrested and convicted by a nonunanimous jury. The Jim Crow era practice later was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. In 2022, Gumpright recanted his story and Hudson was exonerated. Now they are working together to advocate for a Louisiana bill that would allow hundreds of people who were convicted by split juries the chance to petition for a retrial. The Senate could debate the bill this week.

US--GOLD PRICES

Economic jitters and soaring gold prices create a frenzy for US jewelry merchants

SUMMARY: As gold prices soar to record highs resulting from global economic jitters, hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars’ worth of gold are circulating through the doors of the St. Vincent Jewelry Center in downtown Los Angeles on any given day. Many of the 500 independent merchants in the largest jewelry center in the United States say they have never seen such a surge in customers. People are flocking in to sell or melt down their old jewelry, while others are investing in gold blocks to keep as stable assets. Gold’s current rally comes as President Donald Trump issues ever-changing announcements of tariffs, roiling financial markets into volatility and threatening to reignite inflation.

US--IMMIGRATION-TUFTS STUDENT DETAINED

Turkish Tufts University student back in Boston after release from Louisiana detention center

SUMMARY: A Tufts University student from Turkey has returned to Boston after being released from a Louisiana immigration detention center. Rumeysa Ozturk told reporters at Logan Airport on Saturday that she was grateful for the support she has received and was excited to get back to her studies. Ozturk was held for more than six weeks after she was arrested while walking along a street in a Boston suburb. Her lawyers say she was illegally detained following an op-ed she co-wrote last year that criticized her university’s response to Israel and the war in Gaza. U.S. District Judge William Sessions ordered her release pending a final decision on the claims.

US--IMMIGRATION-PROTEST-MAYOR ARRESTED

Newark mayor denies trespassing at immigration detention center following arrest

SUMMARY: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is denying that he trespassed at a new federal immigration detention center during a confrontation that led to his arrest. A Department of Homeland Security official said Saturday that the investigation was ongoing. Baraka was released around 8 p.m. Friday after spending several hours in custody. He was accused of trespassing and ignoring warnings to leave the Delaney Hall facility. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin accused the Democrat, who is seeking his party’s nomination for governor this year, of playing “political games.”

US--AP POLL-TRANSGENDER ISSUES

Transgender issues are a strength for Trump, AP-NORC poll finds

SUMMARY: A new AP-NORC poll finds that most U.S. adults agree with President Donald Trump that whether a person is a man or woman is determined by their sex at birth. About half of Americans approve of how Trump has handled transgender issues, according to the survey — a relative high point for a president whose overall job approval is about 4 in 10. The poll also finds nuance in answers. Most oppose using federal insurance programs to pay for gender-affirming care for transgender young people, but more support allowing transgender military service members than oppose it. Democrats especially are divided in their views on transgender-related policies.

US--EARTHQUAKE-US SOUTHEAST

A Tennessee earthquake rattles homes as far away as Atlanta with 4.1 magnitude

SUMMARY: An earthquake of 4.1 magnitude has been reported in Tennessee and was felt in Atlanta, Georgia, and western North Carolina. That is according to the U.S. Geological Survey and local news reports. The website for USGS said the earthquake originated shortly after 9 a.m. EDT Saturday about 12 miles from Greenback, Tennessee. Earthquakes are not uncommon in the region. The USGS says there is a 5% chance of a magnitude 4 or larger aftershock in the next week. Damage does not usually occur from earthquakes until they reach a magnitude of somewhere above 4 or 5, although it depends on variables such as building construction, soil and distance from the epicenter.

US--CONGRESS-PUBLIC LANDS

A Republican push to sell public lands in the West is reigniting a political fight

SUMMARY: Congressional Republicans say their plan to sell or transfer 460,000 acres of public land will generate revenue and offer space to build houses in Western cities. Without clear details on how it will work, skeptics worry it could be a giveaway for developers and mining companies. For some rapidly growing western cities, owning the adjacent federal land would be a boon. Conservationists, on the other hand, fear the loss of public lands and environmental destruction. And while housing advocates are hopeful at the opportunity, they remain wary that enough affordable housing will be built. The legislation passed by the House Natural Resources Committee last week, part of the Republicans’ sweeping tax cut package.

US--TRUMP-QATAR-PLANE

Trump reportedly is set to accept a jet from Qatar’s ruling family for possible use as Air Force One

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump reportedly is set to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet as a gift from the ruling family of Qatar during his trip to the Middle East this coming week. ABC News reports Trump will use the plane as a new version of Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office in January 2029. That’s when ownership would be transferred to the foundation overseeing his yet-to-be-built presidential library. Administration officials are anticipating questions about the president accepting such a large gift from a foreign government and have prepared an analysis arguing that doing so would be legal, according to ABC. The Qatari government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

US--TRUMP-DEMOCRACY PROGRAMS

‘Beacon of freedom’ dims as US initiatives that promote democracy abroad wither under Trump

SUMMARY: The United States is pulling back from its role in spreading democratic ideals abroad under President Donald Trump. Experts are raising concerns about the effect on movements that aim to counter authoritarians and build the foundations for representative government. The Trump administration has tried to shutter the U.S. Agency for Global Media, ended a U.S. Agency for International Development democracy initiative and restructured the State Department to eliminate a key global democracy office. It’s a departure from America’s long role in spreading democracy across the world. Experts say Washington’s gutting of such initiatives could accelerate what many see as a trend of democratic backsliding around the globe.

Talks or ceasefire first? Ukraine, Russia appear deadlocked over next steps in effort to end the war

SUMMARY: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is pleased to see that Russia is finally engaging with finding an end to the war, but there must be a ceasefire before peace talks can start. Calling it a “positive sign,” he said in a post on X Sunday that “the entire world has been waiting for this for a very long time. And the very first step in truly ending any war is a ceasefire.” Russian President Vladimir Putin in remarks to the media overnight effectively rejected the ceasefire proposal and proposed restarting direct talks with Ukraine in Istanbul on Thursday instead. The exchange of proposals appeared to leave Kyiv and Moscow in a deadlock over the next steps in an effort to end the three-year war.

Voting ends in Albania’s election after a campaign dominated by uphill efforts to join the EU

SUMMARY: Voting has ended in Albania’s parliamentary election after a boisterous campaign dominated by the country’s uphill effort to join the European Union and Prime Minister Edi Rama’s bid for a fourth term. Vote counting is expected to conclude within 48 hours. Turnout was just above 41%, 5 higher than in 2021. Voters abroad are participating in Sunday’s election for the first time. Corruption remains a key issue with candidates from both major parties facing allegations. More than 2,000 candidates from 11 political groups are vying for 140 parliamentary seats. More than 570 international observers aim to ensure a fair and transparent election process.

Israeli strikes on Gaza kill 15 people, mostly women and children

SUMMARY: Palestinian health officials say Israeli strikes overnight and into Sunday killed 15 people in the Gaza Strip. Most of them were women and children. Two of the strikes hit tents in the southern city of Khan Younis, each killing two children and their parents. Another seven people were killed in strikes elsewhere. The Israeli military blames Hamas for civilian deaths because the militants are embedded in populated areas. Israel’s blockade of supplies into Gaza continues. In a separate development, Israel says it retrieved the remains of a soldier killed in a 1982 battle in southern Lebanon.

AS--PAKISTAN-INDIA

India claims its strikes inside Pakistan territory last week killed over 100 militants

SUMMARY: India says its strikes into Pakistan-controlled Kashmir and Pakistan on Wednesday killed more than 100 militants. Residents and officials in the disputed Kashmir region say there was overnight fighting between Pakistani and Indian troops, despite a ceasefire, but the clashes subsided by Sunday morning. As part of the ceasefire announced a day earlier, the nuclear-armed neighbors agreed to immediately stop all military action on land, in the air and at sea. They accused each other of repeatedly violating the deal hours later. The recent escalation in violence followed a gun massacre of tourists in Indian-controlled Kashmir and is the most serious military confrontation between them in decades.

Passenger bus skids off a cliff in Sri Lanka, killing 21 people and injuring 35

SUMMARY: A passenger bus has skidded off a cliff in Sri Lanka’s tea-growing hill country, killing 21 people and injuring 35 others. The accident occurred in the early hours of Sunday near the town of Kotmale, about 86 miles east of Colombo, the capital, in a mountainous area of central Sri Lanka. The driver was injured and among those admitted to the hospital for treatment. The bus was operated by a state-run bus company. Deadly bus accidents are common in Sri Lanka, especially in the mountainous regions, often due to reckless driving and poorly maintained and narrow roads.

Dutch-led Suriname team digitizes 100,000 documents to preserve Jewish history in the Caribbean

SUMMARY: As firefighters in Suriname battled to save buildings in the historic city center of Paramaribo in April, volunteers were scanning documents from the Neveh Shalom Synagogue in an effort to preserve the history of the thousands of Jews who have called the city home since the 1700s. Lilly Duijm, the 78-year-old who has been responsible for the folders of more than 100,000 documents for more than two decades, desperately wanted to digitize the archive for years but lacked the resources and know how. Finally, Dutch academic Rosa de Jong, who had used the archive for her research into Jewish refugees in the Caribbean, provided scanning equipment, hard drives and volunteers to digitize the archive’s birth records, land sales and correspondence.

EU--POLAND-UKRAINIANS-WEAKENING WELCOME

Poland once threw its doors open to millions of Ukrainian refugees, but the mood has shifted

SUMMARY: As Poland gears up for the May 18 presidential election, a striking political shift is taking shape: The once-unifying cause of support for Ukrainians is turning into a wedge issue on the campaign trail. Praised as a humanitarian model for the way Poland opened its doors to millions of Ukrainians fleeing the war, Polish society is now witnessing growing fatigue. And the candidates have taken note. Anti-Ukrainian rhetoric is now a key theme on the campaign trail, with right-wing candidates accusing Ukrainians of not being grateful enough for the help they have gotten.

Former Panamanian president Martinelli leaves Nicaraguan embassy for asylum in Colombia

SUMMARY: Former Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli has left the Nicaraguan embassy in Panama City where he had sought refuge more than a year ago after the courts upheld a prison sentence against him for money laundering and headed to Colombia where he has received political asylum. Panama’s foreign ministry said Colombian President Gustavo Petro sent Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino a formal note saying that he had granted Martinelli asylum and that Panama had granted the former president safe passage to Colombia. Martinelli, 73, was sentenced to 10 years in July 2023 in connection with the purchase of a publishing group. Following the confirmation of that sentence, the ex-president sought refuge in the Nicaraguan embassy.

Saturday’s chaotic U-turn underscored the People Power Party’s leadership crisis ahead of the June 3 election following the ouster of former President Yoon Suk Yeol over his martial law imposition in December. Kim, a staunch conservative and former labor minister under Yoon, was named the PPP’s presidential candidate on May 3 after winning 56.3% of the primary vote.

SUMMARY: U.S. negotiators say “substantial progress” was made and “perhaps the differences weren’t so large,” following two days of negotiations with a high-ranking Chinese delegation on ways to ease a trade war sparked by President Donald Trump imposing steep tariffs. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who led the delegation during talks in Geneva, said Sunday that they’d featured “a great deal of productivity.” Trump himself suggested on social media that “GREAT PROGRESS” was being made toward what he suggested could be a “total reset” on tariffs that have put the global economy on edge. China struck a more measured tone, though, suggesting it it would “firmly reject any proposal that compromises core principles or undermines the broader cause of global equity.”

SUMMARY: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy plans to reduce the number of flights in and out of the Newark Liberty International Airport for the “next several weeks.” New Jersey’s largest airport has struggled with radar outages and numerous flight delays and cancellations due to a shortage of air traffic controllers. The latest problem was Sunday when a telecommunications issue briefly slowed traffic. Duffy said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he will convene a meeting with airlines flying out of Newark to determine the reduction in traffic. He said there will be a larger reduction in the afternoons when international arrivals make the airport busier.

SUMMARY: News that the global Catholic church would get its first-ever U.S.-born pope was welcomed by Catholics across the ideological spectrum in Pope Leo XIV’s homeland, raising the question of whether he might be able to ease some of the deep divisions within its ranks. From U.S. Catholics to the left of the ideological center, there’s optimism that Leo will carry on Pope Francis’ outreach to poor and marginalized people, including migrants. They also hope he’ll provide a counterweight to the policies of the Trump administration that distress them. To the right, there’s hope the new pope will faithfully uphold Catholic doctrine, including opposition to abortion, same-sex marriage and women’s ordination.

SUMMARY: A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles from New York City to Washington, D.C. to demonstrate against the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigrants. The march extends a long tradition of Quaker activism to end wars and slavery and support women’s voting rights in line with the faith’s core belief. It’s called the “Inner Light” – a direct link to God guiding them to fight for justice and peace. Five Quaker congregations filed a lawsuit earlier this year challenging a Trump administration move giving immigration agents more leeway to make arrests at houses of worship.

Saints QB Derek Carr is retiring because of ‘significant degenerative changes’ to his right shoulder

SUMMARY: The New Orleans Saints say veteran quarterback Derek Carr has decided to retire because of a labral tear in his right shoulder and “significant degenerative changes” to his rotator cuff. The 34-year-old Carr has played for 11 pro seasons since being selected out of Fresno State by the then-Oakland Raiders in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft. Carr was acquired by the Saints as a free agent in 2023 but had mixed results in New Orleans, going 14-13 as a starter while also struggling through oblique, hand and head injuries that caused him to miss seven games last season. His retirement comes two weeks after the Saints selected Louisville QB Tyler Shough in the second round of the draft.
