‘He Said He Would Return From Anywhere. And He Kept His Word’: POW Exchange in Kyiv

Prisoner exchange in UkraineFive hundred Ukrainian defenders were recently returned from Russian captivity as a result of a large exchange under the 500 for 500 formula carried out by Ukraine and Russia. This is the largest exchange in the past six months. The last similar one on such a scale took place in the summer of 2025, when 1,000 Russians were exchanged for 1,000 Ukrainian defenders.

Throughout the last week, everyone had been anxiously awaiting news about their loved ones, since negotiations on exchanges usually take place in the Middle East and with the mediation of the United Arab Emirates. With the outbreak of war in Iran, many felt uncertain about further negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow.

However, the exchange did take place, and in two stages.

“This is one of the largest exchanges since the 1,000 for 1,000 exchange,” says representative of the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, Petro Yatsenko.

Hundreds of American nurses choose Canada over the U.S. under Trump

US nurses choose CanadaLast month, Justin and Amy Miller packed their vehicles with three kids, two dogs, a pet bearded dragon, and whatever belongings they could fit, then drove 2,000 miles from Wisconsin to British Columbia to leave President Trump's America.

The Millers resettled on Vancouver Island, their scenic refuge accessible only by ferry or plane. Justin went to work in the emergency room at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, where he became one of at least 20 U.S.-trained nurses hired since April.

Trump, some of the nurses said, was why they left.

"There are so many like-minded people out there," said Justin, who now works elbow to elbow with Americans in Canada. "You aren't trapped. You don't have to stay. Health care workers are welcomed with open arms around the world."

Israel strikes Beirut and Tehran as Trump demands Iran's 'unconditional surrender'

Israel hits BeirutIsrael's military said it launched a "broad wave" of strikes on Iran's capital of Tehran targeting regime infrastructure, with additional strikes in Beirut's southern suburbs. Iran responded early Friday with retaliatory strikes on Israel.

Since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, more than 1,300 people there have been killed according to the humanitarian organization Iranian Red Crescent, including Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and more than 160 people in a strike on a girls school. The United Nations refugee agency says about 100,000 people fled Tehran in the first two days of the attacks that began Feb. 28.

In retaliation, Iran has attacked Israel and launched missiles and drones in countries that host U.S. military bases, including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

Kennedy Center exodus continues as National Symphony director Jean Davidson exits

Nat'l Symphont durector leaves Kennedy CenterThe executive director of the National Symphony Orchestra, a mainstay at the Kennedy Center, is leaving to head the Los Angeles-based Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.

It’s the latest departure from the Kennedy Center since Donald Trump began asserting control over the storied performing arts venue in Washington.

The Wallis announced Friday that Jean Davidson had been appointed executive director and CEO. Before joining the Kennedy Center in 2023, Davidson had served for eight years as executive director and CEO of the Los Angeles Master Chorale at The Music Center.

“The arts are where a community sees itself, and where it imagines what’s possible next,” Davidson said in a statement. “I’m honored to join the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Arts at this pivotal moment.”

Richard Grenell, president of the Kennedy Center, said in a statement to the Associated Press that she was among those who deserved “enormous credit” for their efforts.

“I have enjoyed working with Jean to cultivate new donors and patrons while cleaning up the financial mess at the (center),” he said.



Trump Administration's Embattled FDA Vaccine Chief Is Leaving For The Second Time

Dr, Vinay PrasadThe Food and Drug Administration’s embattled vaccine chief, Dr. Vinay Prasad, is once again leaving the agency — the second time in less than a year that he’s departed after controversial decisions involving the review of vaccinations and specialty drugs for rare diseases.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary announced the news to FDA staff in an email late Friday, saying Prasad would depart at the end of April. Makary said Prasad would return to his academic job at the University of California, San Francisco.

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary announced the news to FDA staff in an email late Friday, saying Prasad would depart at the end of April. Makary said Prasad would return to his academic job at the University of California, San Francisco.

In July, Prasad was briefly forced from his job after running afoul of biotech executives, patient groups and conservative allies of President Donald Trump. He was reinstated less than two weeks later with the backing of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Makary.

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship

Sri Lankans rescue Iranian sailorsThe U.S. torpedoing of an Iranian frigate off Sri Lanka this week may have violated the Geneva Conventions by failing to help rescue sailors from the stricken warship, an act that could potentially endanger American service members in this and future wars.

The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday. After clearing Sri Lanka, it was struck by a torpedo fired from a U.S. Navy submarine about 20 miles from the island’s southern tip. The weapon appears to have ruptured the hull from beneath, and the warship quickly sank. The submarine did not attempt to rescue Iranian sailors in the water.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt bragged about how the attack featured the first American use of a torpedo to sink a ship since World War II. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, narrating a video clip of the attack, used the same gloating tone. “An American submarine sunk an Iranian warship that thought it was safe in international waters. Instead, it was sunk by a torpedo. Quiet death,” he intoned.

Isiah ThomasThousands of mourners paid their respects Friday, March 6 to Rev. Jesse Jackson, the civil rights icon, who died last month at age 84.

One of those who attended the public homegoing celebration at Chicago’s House of Hope on Friday was Chicago native and Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas, who also spoke during the ceremony.

Thomas also praised Jackson for being an inspiration throughout his life, while adding that fellow civil rights leaders Medgar Evers and Martin Luther King, Jr., were his heroes.

DOJ releases Epstein files records with allegations against Trump

DOJThe Department of Justice released FBI interviews with a woman who said she was introduced to Donald Trump by Jeffrey Epstein and that Trump sexually and physically abused her when she was a minor, accusations the White House called “completely baseless.”

The release came after multiple news reports about documents related to the accusations against Trump being withheld. The Department of Justice said it had withheld records that had been “incorrectly coded as duplicative.”

The woman, whose name has been redacted, said in a 2019 interview with the FBI that she traveled to New York or New Jersey with Epstein when she was between 13 and 15 years old and met Trump “in a very tall building with huge rooms,” according to a summary of one of the interviews. She stated multiple people were present and that Trump asked everyone to leave the room and then sexually assaulted her.

“These are completely baseless accusations, backed by zero credible evidence,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement on March 6.

Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in his associations with Epstein. He has not faced any charges related to the investigation.

US shed 92,000 jobs, unemployment ticked up to 4.4% in February

BLSThe U.S. economy shed 92,000 jobs in February, the  estimated March 6, falling far short of forecasters' expectations, and signaling the labor market is still in low-hire mode as employers navigate tariff-related inflation pressures, AI adoption, and geopolitical uncertainty.

The February estimate comes in much lower than the BLS’ now-revised gain of 126,000 jobs added in January, which was much higher than the agency’s revised figures for 2025, when U.S. employers added only 181,000 jobs throughout the entire year, or about 15,000 a month.

“The weak jobs report challenges the recent stabilization narrative and puts the Fed in a difficult position, especially as the spike in oil prices adds near‑term inflation pressure,” Angelo Kourkafas, Senior Global Strategist at Edward Jones, said in a note to USA TODAY, adding that economists should avoid over-extrapolating the trend given weather and labor disruptions' potential impact on hiring in February.

He added, “however, with global geopolitical uncertainty elevated, it is reasonable to expect that job growth may remain subdued in the months ahead.”
