Sunken Russian ship hit by missile, US official says

Russia’s flagship in its Black Sea fleet — the Moskva — was destroyed by two Ukrainian missiles, Ukraine’s military claims. The damage deals a major blow to Russia’s navy, reducing its ability to launch an amphibious assault.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A senior U.S. defense official says the U.S. believes the Russian guided-missile cruiser that sank Thursday in the northern Black Sea was struck by at least one Ukrainian anti-ship missile, as claimed by the Kyiv government.

Pentagon officials had previously said they could not confirm the Ukrainian claim, but they also did not refute it.

Video shows Patrick Lyoya shot in head by Michigan officer

Police in Grand Rapids, Mich., released several videos that appear to show the deadly shooting of Patrick Lyoya from behind, following a traffic stop.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A Black man face-down on the ground was fatally shot in the back of the head by a Michigan police officer, the violent climax of a traffic stop, brief foot chase and struggle over a stun gun, according to videos of the April 4 incident.

Patrick Lyoya, 26, was killed outside a house in Grand Rapids. The white officer repeatedly ordered Lyoya to "let go" of his Taser, at one point demanding: "Drop the Taser!"

Police: More than 900 civilian bodies found in Kyiv region

Areas that were retaken by Ukrainian forces north of the capital, Kyiv, have sustained widespread damage by Russian shelling.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — More than 900 civilian bodies have been discovered in the region surrounding the Ukrainian capital following the withdrawal of Russian forces — most of them fatally shot, police said Friday, an indication that many people were "simply executed."

The number of dead is double that announced by Ukrainian authorities almost two weeks ago.

These airlines are making masks optional after mandate struck down

After a federal judge in Florida struck down the Biden administration's mask mandate for airplanes and other public transport methods, airlines are starting to act.

These airlines are dropping mask requirements

Delta Air Lines

Delta Air Lines

Delta Air Lines says it is making masks optional, and warned travelers they "may experience inconsistent enforcement during the next 24 hours as this news is more broadly communicated."

"Given the unexpected nature of this announcement, please be aware that customers, airline employees and federal agency employees -- such as TSA -- may be receiving this information at different times," the airline said.

United Airlines said in a statement that "masks are no longer required at United on domestic flights, select international flights (dependent upon the arrival country's mask requirements) or at U.S. airports."

Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines similarly said face masks are now optional and asked for passengers to be considerate.

"While we are glad this means many of us get to see your smiling faces, we understand some might have mixed feelings," the airline posted on its website. "Please remember to be kind to one another and that wearing a mask while traveling is still an option."

Alaska Airlines said some of its passengers who were banned from the airline during the duration of the mask policy will continue to be prohibited from its planes.

American Airlines

American Airlines

American Airlines said "face masks will no longer be required for our customers and team members at U.S. airports and on domestic flights."

"Please note face masks may still be required based on local ordinances, or when traveling to/from certain international locations based on country requirements," it said.

Southwest Airlines

Southwest Airlines

Southwest Airlines, meanwhile, said on its website that employees and customers could "choose whether they would like to wear a mask, and we encourage individuals to make the best decision to support their personal wellbeing."

It also said it would "continue supporting the comfort of those who travel with us by offering additional layers of protection."

JetBlue said in a tweet Monday that mask wearing will be optional within the United States. "While no longer required, customers and crewmembers may continue wearing masks in our terminals and on board our aircraft," the company tweeted.

One of the winningest coaches in college basketball just stepped aside. What's up?

Gabe gives the breaking news on In Game Live All Access of Jay Wright retiring from Villanova basketball.

Jay Wright shocked college basketball Wednesday night with his immediate resignation at Villanova, the Big East program he led to two national championships and four Final Fours in a Hall of Fame career.

The 60-year-old Wright guided Villanova to titles in 2016 and 2018 and just led the Wildcats to the Final Four, where they lost to national champion Kansas.
