US envoys meet with Putin in Moscow on Ukraine talks, then head for Dublin to see Zelenskyy MOSCOW (AP) — U.S. envoys have met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin and then headed to Ireland to talk with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Washington seeks new momentum in peace efforts. Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner brokered talks this week between delegations from Moscow and Kyiv.

Senators probing RFK Jr.'s testimony on Samoa trip after AP and Guardian showed documents refute it NEW YORK (AP) — Two Democratic senators are launching an investigation into whether Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lied to Congress about his reason for a 2019 trip to Samoa. The investigation comes after The Associated Press and The Guardian published documents in August refuting Kennedy's testimony. The new inquiry is one of a vast array of investigations planned into the Trump administration after Democrats regained control of the House and Senate from Republicans in the midterm elections. The same senators, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland, are investigating hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gifts reportedly given last year to Kennedy by a donor and former employee.

Pope Leo returns to a national celebration in his second homeland of Peru LIMA, Peru (AP) — Pope Leo XIV has declared Peru his “homeland” as he arrived in Lima Wednesday at the start of his historic visit. Leo credits Peruvians with having formed him as a pastor by sharing their lives, joys and struggles with him. A nationwide party erupted to welcome the country's beloved “Padre Robert” home. The visit to Peru marks the final leg of Leo’s three-nation South America tour.

Later Thursday in Texas, 46-year-old John Allen Rubio is set to be put to death for the stabbing and beheading of three young children he was raising in 2003.

(AP) — The father of an 11-month-old boy who survived being buried alive in a dog crate for a day has been charged with attempted murder in South Carolina. Twenty-five-year-old Michael Comer was denied bond on Thursday morning. Authorities say Comer's son, Koah, was found by rescuers after about 24 hours and is expected to recover.
