U.S. and Iran Reach Deal as Strikes Continue Around Beirut

BEIRUT - Lebanon said an Israeli air strike hit Beirut’s southern suburb on Sunday, killing at least three people and injuring 15. The Israel Defense Forces said it targeted a Hezbollah command centre in Dahieh after the group fired aerial targets toward Israel. The strike landed as Trump kept pushing a deal with Iran. Tehran, for now, is still not buying the timing.

ZURICH - Swiss voters rejected a proposal to cap the country’s population at 10 million, with final results from broadcaster SRF showing a 54.8% to 45.2% split. The right-wing Swiss People’s Party backed the measure, arguing immigration was straining housing, transport and public services. It also would have put Switzerland’s free-movement deal with the EU at risk. The country said no.

KYIV - Russian missiles and drones hit Kyiv overnight, setting fire to the Dormition Cathedral at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra and damaging residential buildings across the capital. Ukrainian officials said at least five people were killed nationwide and six were injured in Kyiv, where 16 locations were hit. The monastery is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Russia keeps calling this military pressure. Kyiv calls it vandalism with explosives.

GENEVA - Anti-G7 protesters clashed with police on Sunday near the United Nations in Geneva, where officers fired tear gas and used water cannons after demonstrators threw stones, flares and firecrackers.

The march had started peacefully, with thousands in the streets before some protesters smashed windows and set a Tesla on fire. The summit opens Monday in nearby Evian, and Swiss authorities were clearly bracing for this exact mess.

WASHINGTON - Workers began stripping Donald Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center facade Saturday after a federal judge ordered it removed by June 12 and rejected a last-minute bid to keep it up. The board, meanwhile, voted to create a Trump-named endowment. So the building is losing the letters, and the fight over his legacy is not going anywhere.

MOSCOW - Donald Trump told Vladimir Putin on Sunday that ending the war in Ukraine was vital and that he was ready to help, Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov said. Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy each spoke separately with Trump as the conflict dragged on ahead of the G7 summit. Ushakov said Trump also raised the idea of better U.S.-Russia ties if the war ends quickly.

WASHINGTON - Sen. Mitch McConnell was admitted to the hospital Sunday morning, his spokesperson said, without saying why or naming the hospital. "He is receiving excellent care," spokesman Dave Popp said. The Kentucky Republican, 84, has had a string of health scares in recent years, including a hospitalization earlier this year for flu-like symptoms. He voted last week and was in the Senate chamber as recently as Thursday.

MISSOURI - Twelve people, including the pilot, died Sunday when a plane carrying skydivers crashed near Butler Memorial Airport, about 60 miles south of Kansas City. Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Justin Ewing said emergency crews found the aircraft engulfed in fire around 11:30 a.m. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating. Officials have not released the victims' identities or said what caused the crash.

SINGAPORE - Singapore plans to launch a gold-clearing system this year, with JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank among the banks set to participate. The city-state wants a bigger role in the global bullion trade, and this is its latest bid to get one. Gold still moves on trust, logistics and old habits. Singapore is trying to make itself hard to ignore.

LONDON - Frasers Group Plc offered to buy the rest of Australian footwear company Accent Group Ltd., as UK billionaire Mike Ashley pushes for greater control of his fashion empire. Bloomberg reported the move Monday. Frasers already owns a stake in Accent, and the offer would give Ashley more control over a business he has spent years stitching together. The market will decide whether that is ambition or just another expensive habit.

NEW YORK - Jalen Brunson scored 45 points and the Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 on Saturday night to win their first NBA title since 1973. The city went wild. Then it got ugly. Police said a 17-year-old was shot near Times Square, five school buses were torched, and 63 people were arrested as crowds swarmed Midtown. The parade can wait. The cleanup cannot.

DALLAS - Japan twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with the Netherlands in their World Cup opener in front of 69,285 at AT&T Stadium. Virgil van Dijk and Crysencio Summerville scored for the Dutch, but Keito Nakamura and Daichi Kamada answered, with Kamada's 88th-minute header off a corner sealing the point. Ronald Koeman said the result was only the Dutch's "minimal standard."

BARCELONA - Lewis Hamilton won his first race for Ferrari on Sunday, beating George Russell by 19.561 seconds at the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.

The 41-year-old started second, used a three-stop strategy, and took the lead after a well-timed virtual safety car. It was his first victory since the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix and Ferrari’s first grand prix win since Mexico City last year. Kimi Antonelli retired late with an engine failure, and Lando Norris finished third.

HONG KONG - There are no trailers on a boat, and Toby Stephens learned that the hard way while filming Hulu's new drama "The Season." The six-episode series, set among Hong Kong's sailing elite, shot almost entirely on real locations and left its cast with nowhere to hide. Stephens meditated on deck. His castmates photographed him doing it. Jessie Mei Li and Karina Lam said the long, humid shoot turned into a kind of team sport.

LOS ANGELES - Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Behaviour Interactive have tapped Thordur Palsson to direct the film adaptation of Dead by Daylight. Palsson, the Icelandic filmmaker behind The Valhalla Murders, is also in production on the mini series Avalanche. Jason Blum said the choice fits the game's tenth anniversary, and that Palsson is the filmmaker they trust to carry it from the screen you play on to the one you watch in theaters.

VIRGINIA - At Wolf Trap on a warm Washington-adjacent night, Emmylou Harris, Margo Price, Allison Russell and others made the case for John Prine as America’s poet laureate. The concert, tied loosely to the country’s 250th birthday, was built around his songs of empathy, careful observation and droll humor. It also raised money for the Fiona Prine-founded Hello in There Foundation. Prine’s sons, Tommy and Jack, joined the bill. The argument for him was pretty much settled by the end.
