Russia and Ukraine swap hundreds more prisoners hours after a massive attack on Kyiv

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia and Ukraine have exchanged hundreds more prisoners as part of a major swap that amounted to a rare moment of cooperation in otherwise failed efforts to reach a ceasefire. The exchange came hours after Kyiv came under a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack that left at least 15 people injured, and authorities in Ukraine said the capital again came under a combined drone and missile attack that started Saturday night and has stretched into Sunday morning. Mykola Kalashnyk, head of the Kyiv regional military administration, said three people have died in the “Kyiv region,”  while Mayor Vitali Klitschko said “there are already 10 injured in the capital”  as of 3 a.m. Sunday.

Trump's speech to West Point graduates mixes praise, politics and grievances

WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — President Donald Trump has used the first service academy commencement address of his second term to laud graduating West Point cadets for their accomplishments and career choice. But he also veered sharply into a campaign-style recitation of political boasts and long-held grievances. Wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, the Republican president told the 1,002 graduating cadets assembled Saturday at Michie Stadium on the campus of the U.S. Military Academy that the United States is the “hottest country in the world” and he underscored an “America First” ethos for the military.

CAIRO (AP) — Gaza's Health Ministry says the bodies of 79 people killed by Israeli strikes have been brought to hospitals in the past 24 hours. The toll doesn’t include hospitals in the battered north that the ministry says are now inaccessible. Nine of a doctor’s 10 children were among those killed amid Israel’s renewed military offensive. That's according to colleagues and the Health Ministry.

Arson suspected as power outage in southeast France disrupts final day of Cannes Film Festival

CANNES, France (AP) — French authorities believe arson may have played a role in a major power outage that threatened to jeopardize the Cannes Film Festival’s closing celebrations. Power was restored hours before the much-anticipated Palme d’Or ceremony, as music began blasting again from beachfront speakers. The end of the blackout was greeted with loud cheers from locals. Authorities suspect arson caused a fire at an electrical substation near Cannes that weakened the grid overnight, a spokesperson for the French national gendarmerie said. At another location hours later, a high-voltage line collapsed, resulting in about 160,000 households in the Alpes-Maritimes department losing electricity.

Israeli use of human shields in Gaza was systematic, soldiers and former detainees tell the AP

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Several Palestinians and Israeli soldiers say troops are systematically forcing Palestinians to act as human shields in Gaza, sending them into buildings and tunnels to check for bombs and gunmen. They say the practice has become ubiquitous over 19 months of war. Israel’s military says it prohibits using civilians as shields, a practice it's long accused Hamas of using. It says it’s investigating a handful of cases but wouldn’t give details. Seven Palestinians described to The Associated Press being used as shields in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. One said he was beaten, bound and blindfolded. Two Israeli solders also described using human shields and that derogatory terms like mosquito were used to refer to the Palestinians.

You should wear sunscreen even if you have darker skin. Here's why

NEW YORK (AP) — Skin experts say people of color still need to wear sunscreen. The melanin in darker skin offers some extra protection from the sun, but dermatologists say that isn’t enough on its own. Sunscreen does help prevent skin cancer, but the cancers affecting Black people tend not to be sun-related. Dermatologists say sunscreen is an additional protective layer that helps prevent a host of other skin problems including sunburns, rosacea and dark patches. It's recommended that people with darker skin use at least SPF 30 sunscreen, reapplying every two hours.

Ex-Minneapolis police chief recalls 'absolutely gut-wrenching' moment of seeing George Floyd video

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Former Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo says he wishes he had moved faster to change the culture of his department before the murder of George Floyd, which happened five years ago Sunday. Arradondo, the city's first Black police chief, told The Associated Press he also wishes he had done more to elevate the community voices demanding change. He recently published a book, “Chief Rondo: Securing Justice for the Murder of George Floyd.” He closes it with a letter to Floyd’s daughter, Gianna in which he says something she hasn't heard from the former officers convicted in Floyd’s death: “I'm sorry.”
