CNN  —  For years, long-haul flights have been synonymous with discomfort, dehydration and a distinct absence of glamor. Whether it’s a child in the seat behind kicking your chair for nine hours, your lips chapping from the dry cabin air or the minimal access to personal care amenities, passengers are often left feeling anything but refreshed on arrival at their destinations. However, a viral TikTok trend is turning that reputation on its…

CNN  —  While much of the discussion around the Cannes film festival red carpet has been centered on celebrities and their entitlement to long trains and naked dresses, Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård bravely poses a different question: What if in 2005’s “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” Brad Pitt wore sky-high leather boots instead of Angelina Jolie? On Sunday, Skarsgård, who was attending a premiere of Wes Anderson’s latest film “The…

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. (AP) — Some people thought the 1925 Scopes monkey trial marked a cultural defeat for biblical fundamentalism.But a century after what was dubbed the Trial of the Century, the issue is far from settled. Many American adults still embrace creationism — a belief in the literal truth of the Genesis account of the origins of the Earth and humanity.To be sure, Tennessee public schoolteacher John Scopes was convicted in 1925 for violating a state law against teaching human evolution. But it appeared to be a pyrrhic victory for creationists.That’s because the star of the prosecution team — populist…

WILLIAMSTOWN, Ky. (AP) — As the colossal replica of the biblical Noah’s Ark rises incongruously from the countryside of northern Kentucky, Ken Ham gives the presentation he’s often repeated.The ark stretches one and a half football fields long — “the biggest freestanding timber-frame structure in the world,” Ham says. It holds three massive decks with wooden cages, food-storage urns, life-size animal models and other exhibits.It’s all designed to argue that the biblical story was literally true — that an ancient Noah really could have built such a sophisticated ship. That Noah and a handful of family members really could have…

May 20, 2025, 04:00 AM ETThis season’s UEFA Europa League — which features two of the Premier League’s biggest clubs, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur — is a curious fixture.Normally it would be billed as yet another example of the English league’s superior strength in depth compared to the rest of Europe’s major powers. But instead, the prematch narrative has been about how historically poor both teams have been at home this season. With one game of the domestic season remaining, these two teams sit in 16th and 17th place, right above the relegation places (which, lucky for them, have…

CNN  —  Ukraine and Russia accused each other of launching attack drones on one another overnight, hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with his US counterpart Donald Trump – and again refused an immediate ceasefire. Russia launched 108 Shahed drones and “various types of decoy drones,” Ukraine’s Air Force said on its Telegram channel Tuesday, adding air defenses had destroyed 93 of them in the east, center and north of the country. The strikes come after Trump and Putin spoke for nearly two hours on Monday – Trump from the Oval Office and Putin phoning in from…

President Joe Biden’s diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer has understandably raised concerns and questions: How long has he had cancer, how will he be treated, and what is his prognosis? As a urologist, I regularly diagnose prostate cancer in my patients, and each time I share the diagnosis with them and their family, it’s never easy. Over time, I’ve learned the importance of keeping conversations simple and straightforward —…

WASHINGTON — An initial wave of bipartisan sympathy for Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis has started to ebb, giving way to suggestions from Donald Trump’s allies that the former president’s inner circle masked his condition while he was in office to create an illusion that he was still up to the job.In a social media post Sunday showing a picture of Biden with the caption, “Politics aside, we wish him a speedy recovery,” the president’s eldest son, Don Trump Jr., wrote, “Agreed 100%.”Come Monday, he posted a darker message: “Everyone was in on the coverup! Who was running the country? We…

CNN  —  Shohei Ohtani hit his 17th home run of the season on Monday, keeping his spot atop the MLB for most this year, as the Los Angeles Dodgers fell to their fourth straight defeat. The Japanese superstar blasted a 389-foot shot to left field in the bottom of the sixth inning at Dodger Stadium against the Arizona Diamondbacks, but it was little too late for the reigning World Series champions. Ohtani’s homer cut Arizona’s lead to 7-2 on the evening, but the D-Backs eventually prevailed 9-5. The defeat is the Dodgers fourth in a row – three to their…
