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.

Stormy Daniels has returned to the witness stand in Donald Trump's hush money trial for a second day of questioning. Daniels spent hours Tuesday detailing for jurors their alleged sexual encounter and the money she was paid to keep quiet about it. The defense in response attacked Daniels' credibility, accusing her of rehearsing her testimony and trying to extort the former president. The trial resumed Thursday. Prosecutors say Trump and others schemed to influence the 2016 presidential election by buying and burying negative stories that might hurt his campaign. He is accused of falsifying internal business records to cover up hush money payments by logging them as legal expenses. He has pleaded not guilty.
Stormy Daniels testifies on the cash-for-silence transaction at the center of Trump's criminal trial
Donald Trump’s defense attorneys are grilling Stormy Daniels on the transaction at the center of the former president’s hush money trial. The defense pressed Daniels on Thursday about why she accepted a $130,000 payment to keep quiet about her alleged sexual encounter with Trump instead of going public. Daniels avoided eye contact with the former president as she walked into the Manhattan courtroom and made her way to the witness stand for a second day of testimony. Prosecutors argue that Trump and his allies snatched up potentially damaging stories and buried them in an illegal effort to influence the November results. Trump denies any wrongdoing.

President Joe Biden says he won't supply offensive weapons Israel can use to launch an all-out assault on Rafah — the last major Hamas stronghold in Gaza — over concern for the well-being of the more than 1 million civilians sheltering there. Biden acknowledges “civilians have been killed in Gaza” by the type of heavy bombs the U.S. has been supplying. Biden said in an interview Wednesday with CNN the U.S. is still committed to Israel’s defense and will supply Iron Dome rocket interceptors and other defensive arms. But the Democratic president says if Israel goes into Rafah, the U.S. is "not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells used.”
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.
