Ukrainian and Russian officials blamed each other on Saturday for the deaths of dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war in an attack on a prison in separatist-held territory. The International Red Cross has asked to visit the prison to make sure dozens of injured prisoners are being treated properly, but said its request has so far not been granted. Meanwhile, Russia continued to launch attacks in several Ukrainian cities, hitting a school and a bus station....

The Ukrainian military struck the Antonivskyi Bridge across the Dnieper River late Tuesday, said the deputy head of the Moscow-appointed command for the Kherson region, Kirill Stremousov. He said the bridge was still standing, but its deck was riddled with holes, preventing vehicles from crossing. The mile-long bridge was badly damaged in Ukrainian shelling last week, when it took several hits. It was closed to trucks but had remained open to passenger vehicles until the strike....

In response to the turmoil, the White House sent the president’s global energy coordinator Amos Hochstein to Europe on Tuesday, officials said. He will travel to Paris and Brussels to discuss contingency planning with the US-EU energy group set up in March, a month after Russia invaded Ukraine. “That was our biggest fear,” the US official said. The impact in Europe could backfire in the US, sending gas and electricity prices soaring, the official said....

She left the hospital to the sounds of her favorite singer, Drake, and cheers from the hospital staff. “I’m not much of a Bible person,” her father, Joseph Pampena, told CTV News Toronto. “But it really is a miracle.” He says when Nicole was initially admitted on August 20 last year, after bleeding and surgery, he was told she probably wouldn’t make it. “However, I’ve been told since he was born....

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping spent more than two hours Thursday talking about the future of their complicated relationship, with the flashpoint of Taiwan once again emerging as a key point of tension.

That’s the key message infrastructure consultants have given the government as the nation prepares for a drought that threatens to disrupt the nation. Failure to act now would leave Britain facing a future of queuing for emergency bottled water “off the back of lorries”.

The 12-year-old boy has been in a coma since he was found unconscious with a ligature over his head on April 7. Archie’s mother and father Hollie Dance and Paul Battersbee had asked High Court judges for more time to continue their fight after a court ruled earlier this week that his ventilator could legally be switched off. They wanted High Court judges to ban hospital bosses from stopping life-support treatment until they could apply to the UN....

More gas price relief could be on the way for cash-strapped Americans as the government continues to tap into oil from its stockpile. On Tuesday, the Biden administration announced it would release even more crude oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) — and work to replenish that SPR’s supply. The White House would do so by establishing a federal guarantee to buy oil from some drillers at preset prices to help restock the SPR....

Jonathan Ernst | Reuters President Joe Biden on Saturday tested positive for Covid-19 once again after consecutive days of testing negative for the virus, his physician said. Biden, 79, is experiencing no new symptoms and “continues to feel quite well,” Dr. Kevin O’Connor said in a memo shared by the White House. But he will nevertheless “reinitiate strict isolation procedures,” the presidential physician wrote. Biden, who is fully vaccinated and has received two booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, tweeted Saturday afternoon that he was asymptomatic but would isolate “for the safety of everyone around me....

Arizona released a statement following the ruling. “After seeing the distraction it created, we removed the referendum from the contract. It was clearly perceived in ways that were never intended. Our confidence in Kyler Murray is as high as ever and nothing demonstrates our faith in his ability to lead a team more than the commitment reflected in this contract.’ The Cardinals made a big commitment to Murray by signing the quarterback to a $230....

The request was seen as problematic for several reasons, the sources told CNN, among them that Krasikov remains in German custody. As such, and because the request was not communicated formally but rather through the FSB backchannel, the US government did not view it as a legitimate counter to the US’ offer which was first revealed by CNN on Wednesday. But underscoring how determined the Biden administration has been to get Griner and Whelan back to the US, US officials did make quiet inquiries to the Germans about whether they might be willing to include Krasikov in the trade, a senior German government source told CNN....

“It will be far from that,” said Sadleir. “This is an organisation that embraces the 72 nations. We just had a general assembly, we heard from Birmingham, we heard from 2026, we announced that we’re going to have the Youth Games in Trinidad next year. We have other countries that are lining up, waiting to be part of that pipeline in the Games of the future.” Among the issues in recent years has been the cost of hosting the games, with Durban in South Africa dropping out due to financial constraints, but Sadleir identified one of the biggest challenges as appealing to younger audiences....

White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor said in a letter that Biden “has experienced no re-emergence of symptoms, and continues to feel quite well.” O’Connor said “there is no reason to reinitiate treatment at this time....

Metcalf suggested he used the threat of a “holdout” on general manager John Snyder to bring the two sides closer to a deal. “I was going to be here, as long as I was bluffing John,” Metcalf said Friday. “I wasn’t leaving, just to let you all know. I wanted to be here. I wanted to play here and I’m glad we got something done.” The holding tactic — reporting to camp but not participating until an agreement is reached — has been a more common negotiating ploy by players this cycle....

People who consume more than 17 units of alcohol in a week – equal to around five large glasses of wine or eight beers – have been found to have ‘older’ DNA, scientists at the University of Oxford have found. The study, published Tuesday in Molecular Psychiatry, revealed that excessive alcohol consumption can damage DNA by causing damage to telomeres — like protective caps at the ends of a chromosome — that could ultimately lead to age-related diseases and cancer formation....
