UK accuses Russia of planning to interfere in upcoming Central African Republic elections
The United Kingdom accused Russia on Thursday of planning to interfere in upcoming elections in the Central African Republic and the U.S. alleged that Moscow was seeking to steal the gold and diamond-rich country’s resources. Russia’s deputy United Nations ambassador Anna Evstigneeva responded by telling the U.N.

Dairy workers’ cats died from bird flu, but it’s not clear how they got infected
Two cats that belonged to Michigan dairy workers died after being infected with bird flu. Veterinary experts said the report, published Thursday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, lacks detail that could confirm whether people can spread the virus to domestic cats — or vice versa. Cats in two separate households died in May after developing severe illnesses that were confirmed as the Type A H5N1 bird virus found in U.S. dairy herds, investigators reported.

Americans, Russians have discussed Ukraine war through Swiss side channel, sources say

US House speaker: no appetite for another Ukraine funding bill
U.S. Speaker of the House of Representatives Mike Johnson said on Thursday there is "no appetite" for another funding bill for Ukraine, a day after President Donald Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy a "dictator" and warned he must move quickly to secure peace with Russia or risk losing his country. "There's no appetite for that," Johnson told Newsmax during the Conservative Political Action Conference when asked - to a chorus of boos from the right-leaning audience - if he foresaw another funding bill for Ukraine, if it takes several more months before the war ends. The Republican House leader's comments came amid deepening uncertainty about the future of U.S. support for Kyiv, amid a war of words between Trump and Zelenskiy.

Hochul said she was "deeply troubled" by the accusations against Adams, but said on Thursday that she would not commence removal proceedings for now.
