Leaders keep a wary eye on Belarus after Russia’s biggest missile attack of the year on Ukraine

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Belarus' exiled opposition leader visited Kyiv on Monday as the Ukrainian capital cleaned up after Russia’sbiggest missile attack of the year, and world leaders kept a close eye on how much support the Belarusian government is ready to provide forMoscow’s all-out invasionof Ukraine.

APTOPIX Russia Ukraine War

Belarusian opposition leaderSviatlana Tsikhanouskayaarrived by train in Kyiv for her first visit to the city, a day after French President Emmanuel Macron spoke by phone with President Alexander Lukashenko, who has governed Belarus with an iron fist for more than three decades.

The French leader “underscored the risks for Belarus of allowing itself to be dragged into Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine,” according to a presidential aide in Macron’s office who spoke on condition of anonymity in accordance with the presidential palace’s practices.

Macron also spoke Sunday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who in recent days has increasingly warned that Belarus could provide a launchpad for Russia to open a new front in northern Ukraine.

With the full-scale invasion more than four years old, the Russian army is locked in a hard and costly slog on the 1,250-kilometer (780-mile)front linethat mostly snakes through eastern and southern Ukraine. With American-made air defense missiles in short supply because of theIran war, Russian missiles are harder for Ukraine to stop.

U.S. effortsto stop the fighting made little progress and have now stalled.

Russia fires hypersonic missile at Ukraine

Sunday’s heavy bombardment included Russia’s powerful hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile, which can carry multiple warheads. Russian President Vladimir Putinhas boastedit can plunge to a target at speeds up to Mach 10.

Zelenskyy said Ukrainian intelligence services had received tipoffs from the United States and European countries that Russia was preparing to launch an Oreshnik.

At least 87 people were wounded in Kyiv, including three children, in the barrage, Zelenskyy said Monday. Twenty-one people were hospitalized.

The intense assault damaged buildings across the city, including near government offices, residential buildings, schools and a market, Ukrainian authorities said. Shattered glass still littered sidewalks on Monday.

Countries keep a wary eye on Belarus

Macron’s call with Lukashenko was their first since 2022, shortly after Russia launched the all-out invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, when Belarus' government allowed Moscow to use the country's territory as a platform to send troops into neighboring Ukraine.

A terse readout released by the Belarusian presidential press service said that the call took place “on the French side’s initiative” and that the two leaders discussed “regional issues” and the relations of Belarus with the European Union and France.

Tsikhanouskaya, the Belarusian opposition leader in exile, said Sunday that France is trying to prevent Belarus being dragged into the Russia-Ukraine war.

“The main goal — to warn Lukashenko that dragging Belarus into the war would be unacceptable,” Tsikhanouskaya told The Associated Press.

“Lukashenko’s regime knows well what needs to be done to improve ties with the European Union, but it isn’t happening, instead hybrid attacks, nuclear blackmail and threats to the entire region continue,” she said.

Lukashenko relies on the Kremlin for cheap energy, loans and other support. Russia and Belarus heldjoint nuclear drillslast week.

Zelenskyy has repeatedly warned that Belarus could increase its support for Moscow.

Sean Stellato, the agent representingNew York Giantstight end Chris Manhertz and formerly spotlighted alongside quarterback Tommy DeVito, is pursuing a new athletic challenge.

The 48-year-old Massachusetts native was in Copenhagen, Denmark, over the weekend trying out for Italy’s Men’s National Flag Football Team.

Known for his flamboyant style and deep Italian heritage, Stellato gained widespread attention in New York during DeVito’s 2023 breakout season with the Giants. New York fans embraced the pair’s charismatic, Italian-American flair. In 2024,Stellato notably met Pope Francisand presented him with a custom football featuring the Pope’s coat of arms.

"I’m incredibly grateful and excited for the opportunity to honor my Italian heritage by trying out for the Italian National Team, with the chance to represent Italy later this summer and beyond,”Stellato told the New York Post. “Thank you to my family, friends, and especially my clients for all of the support, encouragement, and inspiration along the way."

Stellato continues to represent Manhertz, DeVito (now with the New England Patriots), and other NFL clients while chasing this international dream.

Craig Robinson shares how Lisa Kudrow spoke up for him on the set of“ Friends”

Craig Robinson says Lisa Kudrow stood up for him while shooting a scene in the tenth season of Friends.

Key Points

• "Lisa was cool enough to speak up for me, because I had thrown out a line that she heard, but nobody else heard it," Robinson recalled. "She was like, 'We have a pitch!'"

• Robinson appeared on season 10 episode 14 of Friends with Kudrow, as an office clerk who helps Kudrow's Phoebe change her name to Princess Consuela Banana-Hammock.

Lisa Kudrowreally will be there for you.

Craig Robinsonlearned that lesson in a memorable way while shooting a scene for a tenth season episode ofFriends. Back in 2004, Robinson only had a few credits to his name, from single-episode spots on series likeLAXandThe Bernie Mac Show, to a role on the short-lived FX comedyLucky. Then came an opportunity to play opposite Kudrow, who had become one of TV's biggest stars after 10 years on the beloved sitcom.

"I ended up working with Lisa later. We played a married couple inTable 19, actually. So we got real cool," Robinson tellsEntertainment Weekly. "But back then, it was pretty much one scene, there really wasn't much else. We rehearsed it twice and then they did a pitch, and Lisa was cool enough to speak up for me."

Robinson explained that while shooting his scene with Kudrow on the episode "The One with Princess Consuela," the cast and creative crew began throwing out ideas to fine-tune the actors' back and forth. "I had thrown out a line that she heard, but nobody else heard it. She was like, 'We have a pitch!'"

So Robinson got to say his line, "and she got to react to it. But that was because of her, because I was just in there like, 'I'm a freaking friend! What are you talking about?'"

Robinson appears in a brief scene in the final season's 14th episode. Kudrow's Phoebe Buffay goes to get her name changed following her marriage toPaul Rudd's Mike Hannigan. She gets off on the wrong foot with Robinson's clerk when she loudly observes, "This place is so depressing. If I worked here I'd kill myself."

Unsure which of their last names to put before the other, Phoebe is stunned to learn that she can change her full name to anything she wants (she eventually goes with the sensible choice of Princess Consuela Banana-Hammock). "Oh, this could take a while," she jokes, but Robinson's character curtly replies, "Get out of my line."

"What's crazy about that audition is, I went early, and it was like 14 white guys dressed like limo drivers. I walked in and I was like, 'Okay, I think I'm too early,'" Robinson recalled. But he won the role, good news he still recalls receiving. "That was a sweet moment too, to find that out, when you're out there in Hollywood trying to make it."

Robinson would land his big break the year after, when he began portraying warehouse foreman Darryl Philbin onThe Office. He won two Screen Actors Guild Actor Awards for the part, when the sitcom picked up Best Ensemble at the 2007 and 2008 ceremonies.

Ugandan health officials report new Ebola virus infections, bringing cases to 7

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Ugandan health authorities on Monday reported two newEbolacases, bringing the number of infections to seven.

Uganda Ebola

All the cases are linked to theoutbreak in neighboring Congo, which appears to have started several days or weeks before Congoleseauthorities declared it on May 15.

A 59-year-old Congolese man was admitted to a hospital in Kampala, the Ugandan capital, on May 11, and died three days later, before it was known he was suffering from the Ebola virus. Two other Congolese nationals who sought medical care in Uganda later tested positive for Ebola.

Ugandan health authorities on Saturday confirmed the first local infections: a driver and a health worker exposed to the Congolese patient who died on May 11. Two more health workers at a private hospital in Kampala have since tested positive, the Ministry of Health said Monday.

“Both patients have been admitted to the designated treatment unit and are now receiving care,” Dr. Charles Olaro, the national director of health services, said in a statement.

President Yoweri Museveni has urged Ugandans to “stop shaking hands” as part of measures to avoid infection. He also ordered the postponement of an annual religious event that attracts thousands of pilgrims, from Congo and elsewhere, who converge around a Catholic basilica just outside Kampala by June 3.

Other measures include the temporary suspension of all public transportation and flights between Congo and Uganda.

In Congo, suspected Ebola cases have topped 900, mainly in eastern Ituri province where the ongoing outbreak is centered, authorities said Sunday. The response has been hampered by fear,anger and frustrationamong locals including attacks on treatment centers, as well as distrust of authorities in a region long plagued by armed violence.

Congo has had more than a dozen Ebola outbreaks over the decades. Health experts sayinternational aid cutslast year by the United States and other rich nations are devastating for eastern Congo because of the region's unique problems.

Aid groups fighting this Ebola outbreak say they don’t have the equipment they need, such as face shields and suitsto protect health workersfrom infection, testing kits, and body bags and other materials needed to safely bury the bodies of victims, which can be highly contagious.

The Bundibugyo type of Ebola virus responsible for the outbreak has no approved vaccine or treatment. The outbreak has been declared a global health emergency.

Tracing and isolating Ebola contacts is seen as key to stopping the spread of the disease, which usually manifests as hemorrhagic fever.

A family of fruit bats is believed to be the natural hosts of the viruses that cause Ebola, according to the World Health Organization. Ebola is spread by contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person or contaminated materials.

Oldest Pearl Harbor survivor is keeping memory of the surprise bombing alive at 106

CENTERVILLE, Mass. (AP) — On the day of thePearl Harbor attack, the country's oldest living survivor of the Japanese bombing was far below deck helping repair one the boilers of the USS St. Louis.

Pearl Harbor Oldest Survivor

Freeman Johnson, who turned 106 in March, never witnessed the surprise attack. He never heard his shipmates firing antiaircraft guns at the attacking planes — shooting down a torpedo plane. By the time he was topside, the St. Louis, a light cruiser, had evaded midget submarines and safely set out to sea.

“While all the rigamarole was going on topside, I was inside a steam drum. Couldn’t see anything, absolutely nothing,” said Johnson, a Centerville, Massachusetts, resident whose living room is filled with mementos and photos of his Navy service, including photos of the St. Louis and him as a young sailor, along with a collection of Navy challenge coins and ribbons representing the places he visited. He still has his military identification tag — popularly known as dog tag.

Even as the St. Louis headed into the Pacific Ocean, Johnson, whose job was known as a fireman on the ship, knew little about the attack.

“We were way out to sea, way out. You couldn’t see any land at all. All you saw was ocean,” he said. “I was just a sailor, just a swabbie, I was not an officer. They don’t tell you anything if you don’t need to know. And I didn’t need know it. So they tell you nothing.”

When he visited schools, children often asked Johnson whether he was scared that day. “You’re not scared. You’re too busy to be scared,” he said, his gravelly voice rising. "Besides, you don’t know what you’re scared of. You can’t see anything. What are you afraid of?

One of only 11 survivors

Johnson became the oldest survivor after World War II Navy veteranIra “Ike” Schabdied in December. He was 105. With Schab's passing, there remain only 11 survivors of the surprise attack, which killed just over 2,400 troops and propelled the United States into the war. The United States mourns the nation’s fallen service members onMemorial Day, which takes place Monday.

Every year, there is a remembrance ceremony at the military base’s waterfront for Pearl Harbor survivors.

About 2,000 survivors attended the 50th anniversary event in 1991. A few dozen have showed in recent decades. In 2024,only two made it. That is out of an estimated 87,000 troops stationed on Oahu that day. None made the pilgrimage to Hawaii last year.

Growing recognition

For most of his life, Johnson avoided the spotlight and talked little about surviving the bombing. After all, he was one of the tens of thousands sailors who were there on that tragic day. He recalled his wife, Ruth, “thought that was something special” so she called the Navy and “the girl laughed at her.”

But as the oldest survivor, he's become a local celebrity and the reluctant face of one of the most important events in World War II. Johnson showed up at his 106th birthday party in a limousine and was mugged by television cameras. He gets letters from all over the world and is routinely called a hero wherever he goes out.

Johnson, who is hard of hearing, needs a walker to get around and suffers from congestive heart failure, can recall his wartime experience down to the smallest detail. A 19-year-old who was unemployed and living at home in Waltham, Johnson said he feared being drafted so he signed up for the Navy — because he felt it would be less physically taxing than the Army.

“As a kid, I walked. If I wanted to go somewhere, I walked or took my bicycle. But I didn't want to walk from France to Germany," he said, sitting in a recliner, dressed in an oversized flannel shirt and waving his hands like an orchestra conductor.

“It's a long way carrying a knapsack with you ... Water for a day, food for a day, a 9-pound Springfield rifle all on your back and walking through the mud,” he said. “No thanks. That’s why I joined the Navy.”

Witnessing history

Johnson's memories have less to do with battles while on the St. Louis, and later aboard the USS Iowa, than their significant roles in history. He helped commission the Iowa and recalled the battleship's preparations in November 1943 ahead of transporting President Franklin D. Roosevelt to the Tehran Conference with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.

The ship was equipped with two elevators and a bathtub. All the ammunition and much of the oil was removed to lighten the ship as it made its way down the Potomac River to pick up Roosevelt. It was reloaded before the ship headed out to sea.

“It was a big meeting,” Johnson said, recalling how the crew were photographed with Roosevelt. “I don’t know what they talked about, but I didn’t need to know. We picked him back up, brought him home.”

Johnson also witnessed the war's end aboard the Iowa. He was on the Iowa's mast watching the surrender ceremonies about a mile away in Tokyo Bay aboard the USS Missouri on Sept. 2, 1945.

“I could see the boats coming up with the Marines escorting the Japanese onto ship and sitting around a table,” he said. “It was all over. That was the end of the war. A bunch of us got together — the war is over. Let's go home.”

Telling the story of Pearl Harbor

These days, his daughter, Diane Johnson, is often by his side. They live together and always take a trip on Dec. 7, often attending Pearl Harbor remembrance events, including the 65th and 80th anniversary in Hawaii. She often poses questions to get her father talking and likes to nag him that he has “a responsibility” to share the story of Pearl Harbor —- especially for children who know little about the bombing.

“It’s kind of overwhelming when you think of it. Well, the 106 is what gets me,” she said. “When I think about his history, he’s at the beginning, he’s at middle, he is at the end when he witnessed the surrender. It’s something.”

Johnson began getting more attention several ago, when Diane Johnson heard a local television report suggesting the last survivor in the state had died. She called to correct the record and that raised his profile. Johnson also started making regular appearances in the Cape Cod St. Patrick's Parade, often leading from the front.

“I wish more people were like him today. He just gets on and doesn't complain about anything,” said Desmond Keogh, the chairman of the parade who has accompanied Johnson. “It's what this country was all about. They were just a different generation. They did what was best for their country.”

For all the attention to Pearl Harbor, the gruff Johnson, who is known for his cackling laugh and mischievous smile, doesn't see it as a defining moment in his life.

That would have been getting married after the war to his late wife and having three daughters. He also worked for years in a machinist shop, then in a convenience store and, finally, delivering meals to seniors — all jobs he retired from, the last one at the age of 90.

“Pearl Harbor just happened. I can’t put it any other way,” he said.

How Helio Castroneves can make history at 2026 Indy 500

In 2001, a Brazilian rookie named Helio Castroneves started his first Indianapolis 500. 25 years later, he can leave America's most iconic track having done something no other driver has in the race's 109 runnings.

Castroneves is one of four to have won the Indy 500 four times, including in that first go-round in 2001. A fifth would put him in a stratosphere all to himself. The 51-year-old star last etched his face on the Borg Warner Trophy in 2021, but remains a viable contender on the pavement even as he's wound down his IndyCar career. In the years since he's won multiple 24 Hours of Daytona crowns as well as two Petit Le Mans titles -- though both are team events.

If Castroneves can rise upafter qualifying in 14th position, he'll add another bullet point to his argument behind "greatest IndyCar driver of all time." Here's who he's looking to separate himself from, as well as the other drivers who can inch closer to open wheel immortality Sunday.

Who are the drivers who've won four Indy 500s?

Castroneves won his Baby Borgs (the miniature version of the trophy given to race winners) in 2001, 2002, 2009 and 2021. That put him in rarified air alongside:

• A.J. Foyt: 1961, 1964, 1967, 1977

• Al Unser Sr.: 1970, 1971, 1978, 1987

• Rick Mears: 1979, 1984, 1988, 1991

Which drivers can win a third Indy 500 in 2026?

Two drivers in this year's field have two wins to their name. Takuma Sato won in 2017 and 2020. Josef Newgarden won back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024.
