Russia Pounds Kyiv In Deadliest Attack On The Capital This Year

CATIA LA MAR - Rescuers pulled Hernán Gil alive from the rubble of a collapsed building in coastal Venezuela on Thursday, eight days after twin earthquakes hit the country. He had been trapped under more than 100 tonnes of debris in his security booth, where teams fed him water and liquid nutrients through a syringe while they dug. The death toll is still rising, and the search is not over.

KISANGANI - Ebola has reached Kisangani, a city of 1.5 million in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, as the outbreak keeps spreading and the death toll climbs past 400. Health officials say 438 people have died among 1,406 confirmed cases since May 15, with most deaths still clustered in Ituri province. The WHO has also started a trial of potential treatments. The first patient is already enrolled.

DOHA - Iran and the United States ended another round of indirect talks in Qatar on Wednesday with one concrete result: a communication channel to report breaches of their June memorandum of understanding. Mediators called the talks positive. The next meeting is being pushed until after funeral commemorations for Iran's former supreme leader. For now, the hotline is the story.

VATICAN CITY - The Vatican excommunicated six bishops from the Society of Saint Pius X on Thursday after the breakaway Catholic group consecrated four new bishops without Pope Leo XIV's approval.

The doctrinal office said priests and lay Catholics who formally adhere to the Swiss-based group are now considered schismatic too. It also warned that SSPX sacraments are illicit, and that its clergy can no longer validly hear confessions or officiate marriages. The group has spent decades fighting Rome over the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. This fight is not over.

WASHINGTON - President Trump said Wednesday he made $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency ventures in 2025 and brushed off conflict-of-interest criticism with a simple line: “Everybody’s profiting.” The new disclosure has raised questions about taxes, ethics and how much of his personal finances are actually in his hands. The White House has not said how the crypto income was structured or what, if anything, he owes the IRS.

WASHINGTON - NCAA President Charlie Baker says the group does not plan to change its transgender athlete rules after the Supreme Court let states ban participation in girls' and women's sports. Baker told CBS News the NCAA already follows the Trump administration standard and sees state policy as a separate question. The college sports group has no appetite for another fight it does not need.

WASHINGTON - U.S. employers added 57,000 jobs in June, well below the 100,000 economists expected and a sign the labor market is losing some steam. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.2% from 4.3% in May, but the Labor Department also revised April and May payroll gains down by 74,000 combined. Professional services and health care added jobs. Leisure and hospitality lost 61,000, which is not what summer hiring was supposed to look like.

WASHINGTON - Emergency medical personnel responded to a report of an unconscious person at Sen. Mitch McConnell's home on June 14, the same morning his office said he was hospitalized. Dispatch audio reviewed by CBS News and NBC News included a call for a cardiac arrest and a medic saying CPR was in progress. McConnell's office has not said whether the call involved him. The Kentucky Republican remains in the hospital and is improving.

SEOUL - South Korea’s won starts round-the-clock trading on July 6, and the finance ministry is already treating it like a stress test. Officials in Sejong, in a room known as “the box,” will watch every tick for signs they need to step in. Banks are beefing up desks in London and Seoul. The currency has been under pressure, and nobody is pretending otherwise.

SAN FRANCISCO - Crusoe, the data center upstart with contracts to supply AI computing power for Meta and Oracle, is in talks to raise about $3 billion in fresh funding, according to people familiar with the matter.

If the round closes anywhere near that size, the company’s valuation could roughly triple. That is a lot of money for a business still best known for riding the AI boom, and a reminder that investors are still willing to pay up for infrastructure that can keep the models fed.

PHILADELPHIA - The Celtics have agreed to send Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George, two first-round picks and two second-round picks, according to ESPN. Brown, who averaged a career-best 28.7 points last season, never asked out. Boston had been shopping him for weeks, and even asked for VJ Edgecombe before settling for a thinner return. The Sixers just got a lot more dangerous.

TORONTO - Goncalo Ramos headed Portugal into the World Cup last 16 with a 2-1 comeback win over Croatia on Thursday, then watched VAR wipe out Croatia's late equalizer for offside. Cristiano Ronaldo had earlier levelled from the spot after Ivan Perisic's opener. Portugal now get Spain next. Croatia's exit feels brutal, but the review was the story.

SANTA CLARA - Folarin Balogun scored, then got sent off, and the United States still beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 to reach the World Cup round of 16 for the first time since 2002.

Malik Tillman sealed it with an 82nd-minute free kick. The bigger problem is Monday in Seattle, where the U.S. will face Belgium without its leading scorer. The red card drew boos, and no, it cannot be appealed.

TOKYO - Rhythm Heaven Groove is back after more than a decade, and it still wants your reflexes in a headlock. The new Nintendo Switch game, out Thursday, packs 80 single-player minigames and 30 multiplayer challenges built around catching beats, not buttons. Players hop, throw, roll and chop their way through tiny scenes, from opening umbrellas in sync to slicing vegetables fast enough to keep the rhythm. It is simple to learn and, by the look of it, not simple to master.

KUALA LUMPUR - The first trailer for *Peluru Senja: The Ghost & the Gun* is out, and the war drama will open nationwide in Malaysia on Aug. 28, just before Independence Day weekend. MSK Cinemas is handling the rollout. The Bahasa Malaysia-language film, from Singapore-based director Anshul Tiwari, is set in 1948 Malaya, where a Malay soldier and a British soldier are left behind after the British withdrawal. They have to protect a village while sorting out their own history.

LONDON - Serena Williams' first singles match at Wimbledon in nearly four years drew 1.8 million viewers on ESPN, the network said Thursday. The broadcast peaked at 2.1 million and became ESPN's most-watched first round at Wimbledon, even though Williams lost to 20-year-old Maya Joint in three sets. Her doubles match with Venus Williams was moved off Thursday's schedule after Serena tweaked her knee. Novak Djokovic said people should "enjoy the greatness" instead of picking at the loss.
