South Koreans breath sighs of relief as escaped wolf is returned to zoo safely

AP News SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The South Korean internet erupted in celebration as a 2-year-old wolf that escaped from a zoo in South Korea was captured safely Friday after a nine-day search that kept the nation on edge and made it a national celebrity.

The male wolf, named Neukgu, burrowed out of his enclosure at the O-World zoo in Daejeon on April 8, prompting a search that gripped the nation and raised fears about his safety. Animal rights activists questioned whether the wolf could survive outside the zoo and also worried it might be killed during capture, something that happened...

House rushes to overnight vote to renew key surveillance tool used by US spy agencies

AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — The House rushed early Friday to renew a controversial surveillance program used by U.S. spy agencies that is set to expire in a matter of days, unveiling several changes and calling lawmakers back to session for a middle-of-the-night vote.

Republican leaders rolled out a new proposal that would extend the program for five years with changes — far from the clean renewal President Donald Trump has demanded and Speaker Mike Johnson had previously backed.

Democrats late Thursday blasted the process ahead of votes expected early Friday.

Macron and Starmer hold international summit on reopening the Strait of Hormuz

AP News PARIS (AP) — The leaders of France and the U.K. will gather dozens of countries — but not the United States — on Friday to push forward plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil route choked off by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

The Paris meeting is part of attempts by sidelined nations to ease the impact of a conflict they didn’t start and haven’t joined, but that has sent the global economy reeling. After the war started on Feb. 28, Iran effectively shut the narrow strait though which a fifth of the world’s oil usually passes.
