Torchbearers are carrying the Olympic flame through the streets of France’s southern port city of Marseille a day after it arrived on a majestic three-mast ship. The torch began its 11-week journey across the country with about 10,000 bearers passing through more than 450 towns until the Games’ opening ceremony in Paris on July 26. Former soccer player Basile Boli, who played with the Marseille team in the 1990s, kicked off Thursday’s relay from the Notre Dame de la Garde basilica. Basketball player Tony Parker also took his turn in the relay. One of the torchbearers is Ukrainian gymnast Mariia Vysochanska. It’s an expression of solidarity with Ukraine as well as a symbolic gesture marking Europe Day,

Forecasters are warning a wave of dangerous storms in the U.S. could march through parts of the South. Thursday's forecast comes a day after severe weather with damaging tornadoes and large hail killed three people in Tennessee and North Carolina. The storms continue a streak of torrential rain and tornadoes this week from the Plains to the Midwest and now the Southeast. At least four people have died since Monday. More than a quarter-million customers lack power across several states. Thunderstorms with torrential rains led to a flash flood emergency and water rescues northeast of Nashville.

Porn actor Stormy Daniels is returning to the witness stand in Donald Trump’s New York hush money trial. Trump's defense wants to undermine the credibility of Daniels' testimony about an alleged sexual encounter and the money she got to keep quiet. Defense attorneys get another chance Thursday to question Daniels, whose account is central to prosecutors’ case accusing Trump of scheming to illegally influence a presidential campaign by burying unflattering stories. The Republican looked on in the courtroom Tuesday as Daniels described a sexual encounter she says they had in 2006 that resulted in her being paid to keep silent in the final weeks of the 2016 campaign. Trump denies they had sex.

The first shipment of humanitarian aid to a newly built U.S.-built floating pier off Gaza has left a port in Cyprus. Foreign Minister Constantinos Kombos says the U.S. vessel departed from Larnaca port with the aim of transferring as much badly needed aid to Gaza by sea as possible. U.S. President Joe Biden gave an order about two months ago to build the large floating platform several miles off the Gaza coast. The Rafah border crossing with Egypt in southern Gaza has been closed since Israel’s military took control of the Palestinian side early Tuesday, blocking the entry of desperately needed humanitarian aid. The U.N. says northern Gaza is already in a state of “full-blown famine.”

Russia wrapped itself in patriotic pageantry for Victory Day, as President Vladimir Putin celebrated the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II by hailing his forces in Ukraine and blasting the West for fueling conflicts around the world. Putin has turned the holiday into a pillar of his nearly quarter-century in power and a justification of his military action in Ukraine. Even though few World War II veterans are still alive 79 years after Berlin fell to the Red Army, the victory over Nazi Germany remains the most important symbol of the country’s prowess. The Soviet Union lost about 27 million people in the war, an estimate that many historians consider conservative. Thursday’s festivities honor that sacrifice.

A shipment of humanitarian aid has left a port in Cyprus and is on its way to the U.S-built pier in Gaza, the first delivery to the newly built ramp, according to Cyprus’ foreign minister. The U.S. vessel, loaded with much needed humanitarian assistance, departed from the Larnaca port with the aim of transferring as much aid to Gaza as possible through the maritime corridor. The trip comes some two months after U.S. President Joe Biden gave the order to build the large floating platform several miles off the Gaza coast. The relief is desperately needed, with the United Nations saying people in Gaza are on the brink of famine and as Israeli troops ordered the evacuation of 100,000 Palestinians from Gaza’s southern city of Rafah.

The Vatican is crossing a key milestone in the runup to its 2025 Jubilee with the promulgation of the official decree establishing the Holy Year. Pope Francis is presiding over a ceremony Thursday in St. Peter’s Basilica for the formal reading of the papal bull. The event also kicks off the final seven-month dash of preparations and public works projects to be completed by Dec. 24, when Francis opens the basilica’s Holy Door and formally inaugurates the Jubilee. For the Vatican, the Holy Year is a centuries-old tradition of pilgrims visiting the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul. For the city of Rome, it’s a chance to take advantage of public funds to carry out long-delayed public works projects.
