Jason Momoa worked with a coach to speak Hawaiian authentically in ‘Chief of War’

Wall Street rises to finish its best week in 2 months after bank stocks stabilize

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street cruised to the finish of a winning week that began much bumpier. The S&P 500 rose 0.5% Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.5%. The gains capped the S&P 500’s best week since August, but it was a roller-coaster ride. Indexes careened through jarring swings as worries built about the financial health of small and midsized banks, as well as the souring U.S.-China trade relationship. Bank stocks steadied themselves on Friday, while President Donald Trump eased some of the trade concerns after saying very high tariffs on China are not sustainable.… Continue Reading

Trump tells Zelenskyy he’s reluctant to sell Ukraine Tomahawk missiles after warning Russia he might

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has signaled to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that he’s leaning against selling long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Kyiv. Zelenskyy at the start of Friday’s White House talks said he had a “proposition” in which Ukraine could provide the United States with its advanced drones, while Washington would sell Kyiv the Tomahawks, which Ukrainian officials say they desperately need to motivate Russian President Vladmir Putin to get serious about peace talks. But Trump said he had “an obligation also to make sure that” the United States is “completely stocked up.” The U.S. leader added he was optimistic the war would soon end, mitigating Ukraine’s need for the powerful weapon.… Continue Reading

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Hamas has moved to shore up its brittle ceasefire agreement with Israel by reaffirming its commitment to the terms of the deal that includes a pledge to hand over the remains of all dead Israeli hostages.
