Sabrina Ionescu injury update: New York Liberty guard to have MRI on ankle
News ArticlePublishedMay 03, 2026 at 11:16 PM EDTBy Megan ArmstrongThe New York Liberty are the odds-on favorite to win the 2026 WNBA Finals.The Liberty leapfrogged the Las Vegas Aces, the reigning champions and winners of three of the past four championships, after going all-in during free agency last month. Not only did the Liberty re-sign Breanna Stewart, Jonquel Jones, and Sabrina Ionescu to retain the "Big 3" that won the franchise's first WNBA title in 2024, but they also signed three-time All-Star forward Satou Sabally to form a "Big 4." On paper, the Liberty are neck-and-neck with the Aces as top-tier contenders. But the games aren't played on paper, and injuries are constantly looming as a threat to derail any season. The Liberty learned that last season, and they were just reminded of it again....Ionescu landed awkwardly after driving to the bucket early in the third quarter of the Liberty's preseason game in Connecticut on Sunday. The four-time All-Star guard immediately limped to the locker room and did not return to the game.After the game, first-year Liberty head coach Chris DeMarco began the postgame presser by telling reporters that Ionescu "rolled her ankle" and would undergo an MRI on Monday.

Big Weekend for ‘Devil Wears Prada 2’ as ‘Michael’ Crosses $400M
Twenty years after the original, the sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada” made a splash in its first weekend in theaters. Driven largely by women, “The Devil Wears Prada 2” earned $77 million in the U.S. and Canada, and $156.6 million internationally, according to studio estimates Sunday. It easily topped the box office and bumped “Michael” to second place, though the musical biopic held well in its second weekend, falling only 44%. The Walt Disney Co.’s 20th Century Studios opened “The Devil Wears Prada 2” in 4,150 locations in North America. Women made up about 76% of the ticket buyers, according to PostTrak exit polls; 74% said they would “definitely recommend” the movie to friends. Critics were a bit mixed on the sequel, which finds Anne Hathaway’s Andy Sachs working once more for Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly at the fictional “Runway” magazine in a much-depleted media landscape. The movie cost a reported $100 million to produce - a significant boost from the first movie’s $35 million production budget. But as filmmaker David Frankel told The Associated Press recently, “As it turns out, you know, by the time you finish paying all the biggest movie stars in the world, you still
Former Malian minister and junta critic abducted from home by armed men, family tells AP
BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — A former Malian minister and critic of the ruling junta was abducted from his home by armed, hooded men, one of his family members told The Associated Press Sunday, as fallout spreads from a wave of armed attacks against the government in the conflict-battered West African nation.Mountaga Tall’s home in the capital, Bamako, was stormed shortly before midnight on Saturday, his relative Mahmoud Touré told AP. The men did not identify themselves, nor did they say why they were seizing Tall, but Touré said they were from the armed forces. “They did not explain why and did not present an arrest warrant,” he said. “The soldiers mistreated Mountaga Tall’s wife and took his phone.”Tall served as Mali’s education and science minister from 2016 to 2017 and is the president of the National Congress for Democratic Initiative, a political party opposed to the military government. As a lawyer, he represents politicians and other individuals who have been arrested for criticizing the junta. Mali was struck on April 26 by one of the biggest coordinated attacks on its army in Bamako and several other cities by jihadis and rebels who seized several towns and military bases. Several people

Antonelli wins in Miami for his third straight F1 victory
Kimi Antonelli's impressive victory in the Miami Grand Prix, his third win in a row, was "something special", says 1996 world champion Damon Hill."We witnessed this young boy showing us what enormous potential he clearly has, and I'm almost stunned with how he has coped this season," Hill told BBC Radio 5 Live.On top of that, Hill added, 19-year-old Antonelli is "showing up" his team-mate George Russell, who started the season as favourite, but finds himself staring at a 20-point deficit in the championship after four races.Antonelli's win also marked another statistical milestone for the Italian.Already the youngest pole winner and the youngest driver to lead championship, he is now only the third driver in history to take his first three pole positions in a row. In that, he is in exalted company - Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher are the others.And he joins Hill and Mika Hakkinen as the first driver to win his first three races consecutively.All four of those drivers are world champions. Two of them are in the debate for the greatest driver who has ever lived. It's a stretch, to say the least, to argue Antonelli is heading into that discussion just yet, but he

That had been the plan throughout his recovery.However, things became more complicated for manager Aaron Boone as Jose Caballero continued to excel in Volpe’s absence.More news: Is OF James Tibbs III The Next Future Star Player For the Dodgers?...More news: Red Sox, Phillies 6-Year Veteran Pitcher Dies“Caballero is playing the heck out of the position and is playing really well,” Boone said. “That complicates it… José has played himself into more playing time.

Chase Elliott wins at Texas for 2nd Cup victory this season | AP News
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Chase Elliott went low, got a push from his Hendrick Motorsports teammate and held on to become only the second NASCAR Cup driver with multiple wins this season.Elliott stayed ahead of Denny Hamlin for the closing four laps after a final restart at Texas on Sunday for his second victory this year. He finished just ahead of Hamlin in both of those wins. On that final restart at the 1 1/2-mile Texas track, Elliott took the bottom line and had teammate Alex Bowman behind him. He cleared Hamlin going onto the backstretch and remained in front to the checkered flag. “I just felt like, man, if I didn’t get clear off of (Turn) 2, I was going to be in a lot trouble,” Elliott said. “So fortunately Alex gave me a great push. I was able to execute Turns 1 and 2, get clear, and then just kind of manage the last few laps.” Elliott, voted NASCAR’s most popular driver each of the past eight seasons, got his 23rd career win and his second at Texas, where two years ago he ended a 42-race winless streak. He led five times Sunday for a race-high 87

1,500 beagles will find new homes after release from research facility
Nation May 3, 2026 6:38 PM EDT FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — The first beagles removed from a Wisconsin dog breeding and research facility that was the site of recent protests seemed to know right away that they were safe. "They started within an hour or so coming up to us, wanting attention. Some crawled in people's laps. Every single one of them are super sweet," Lauree Simmons, president and founder of Big Dog Ranch Rescue, said Sunday. "I think they are loving the attention. I just know they know they're safe." Big Dog Ranch Rescue and the Center for a Humane Economy negotiated a confidential agreement to purchase the 1,500 dogs for an undisclosed price from Ridglan Farms, where police used tear gas and pepper spray to repel activists trying to take beagles from the facility last month. Protesters also broke into the facility in March and took 30 dogs. Sixty-three people were referred by the sheriff's department to the district attorney for potential charges related to that break-in. Talks to purchase the animals began months before the April disturbance, and Simmons said her group wasn't connected to the protests. Now, Big Dog Ranch Rescue is working with partners
OPEC+ countries agree modest rise in production as Iran retains chokehold on key Strait of Hormuz
VIENNA — Seven countries in the OPEC+ grouping of oil-producing countries - including Saudi Arabia and Russia - say they’ve decided to a modest increase in production starting in June as part of a commitment to “market stability.” The commitment from the seven countries, also including Algeria, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kuwait and Oman, to raise production by 188,000 barrels per day comes after a virtual meeting they held on Sunday. The move is mostly symbolic because it comes as Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, where about a fifth of the world’s trade in oil and natural gas typically passes, in the midst of the U.S.-Israeli war. That has stopped much of the oil shipped from Gulf producers and knocked millions of barrels a day off the global market. It also follows a decision by the United Arab Emirates to leave the OPEC oil cartel, shaking up the 65-year-old alliance that produces some 40% of the world’s crude oil and exerts major influence over the price of energy around the globe. Iran is one of OPEC’s 12 member countries, and Russia is not - it works with the Vienna-based oil producers alliance through the
Trump keeps us up in the air with his hints of what's coming in a new batch of UFO files
WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says the Pentagon is preparing to release some “very interesting” UFO files uncovered by his administration, generating a mix of buzz and skepticism as he hints at new revelations around questions of alien life.Trump started stoking interest in the extraterrestrial in February, directing federal agencies to release their records related to extraterrestrial life and UFOs. Since then, he has built suspense with tantalizing updates, teasing an imminent release of documents never before shared by the U.S. government.“We’re going to be releasing a lot of things that we haven't,” Trump said Wednesday at a White House event celebrating NASA astronauts. “I think some of it’s going to be very interesting to people.”Trump has relished in portraying himself as the president who spills the secrets. In the first week returning to office, he ordered the release of records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. The disclosures revealed little beyond what was already known.In the buildup to that release, Trump said “the American people deserve transparency and truth.” Now, as he turns to the sky, the president has struck a similar tone, suggesting

Ukrainian strikes hit key Russian oil infrastructure, including "shadow fleet" tankers
KYIV, Ukraine -- Ukraine on Sunday launched a wave of strikes against Russian oil targets, hitting a key loading port on the Baltic Sea and two tankers that Ukraine alleges were illegally used to transport Russian crude.A nighttime drone strike sparked a blaze at Russia’s largest oil exporting port on the Baltic Sea, the port of Primorsk, according to Russian regional Gov.

Primorsk, which was targeted multiple times in March, lies over 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) from Ukraine, between the Russian-Finnish border and Russia’s second-largest city of St. Petersburg.Local Gov. Drozdenko said that the drone strike did not cause an oil spill, but gave no immediate further comment regarding casualties or damage.But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Ukrainian forces destroyed several military and other targets, while also inflicting significant damage on oil port infrastructure. “One more Russian carrier of Kalibr missiles is out of action. Major General Yevhen Khmara reported on the successful destruction of targets in the Primorsk port," Zelenskyy wrote in a Telegram post on Sunday. According to Zelenskyy, Ukrainian drones also hit a Karakurt missile

Three die after suspected hantavirus outbreak on Atlantic cruise ship
World May 3, 2026 4:46 PM EDT CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — A suspected hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean has killed three people and sickened at least three others, the World Health Organization said Sunday. In a statement to The Associated Press, the WHO said an investigation was underway but that at least one case of hantavirus had been confirmed. Hantavirus, found throughout the world, is spread by contact with urine or feces of infected rodents, most often rats or mice. One of the patients was in intensive care in a South African hospital, the U.N.'s health agency said, adding that it was working with authorities to evacuate two other passengers with symptoms from the ship. "Detailed investigations are ongoing, including further laboratory testing, and epidemiological investigations," WHO said. "Medical care and support are being provided to passengers and crew. Sequencing of the virus is also ongoing." READ MORE: What is hantavirus, the infection that killed Betsy Arakawa in New Mexico?

Jeanine Pirro says she has evidence officer was shot at White House press dinner
Cole Tomas Allen, the 31-year-old California man charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) Dinner last Saturday, is "no longer on suicide status" at the Correctional Treatment Facility at the D.C. jail complex, according to a court filing submitted Sunday.Allen's federal public defenders withdrew an earlier motion seeking his removal from suicide status, telling the court the request is now moot. The filing comes as the high-profile federal case against Allen continues to unfold, with significant new evidence emerging in recent days about the shooting at the Washington Hilton.The ContextThe court filing offers a brief but notable update in one of the most closely watched federal prosecutions of the year. Allen faces life in prison if convicted of the attempted assassination count alone, and his defense team has signaled it may eventually press for his release before trial.The status of his mental health while in custody is also a matter of legal significance, as it could affect future proceedings, evaluations, and any potential defense strategies.What the Filing SaysThe filing was submitted by Assistant Federal Public Defenders Tezira Abe and Eugene Ohm.
