The Pentagon has started sharing what it describes as previously unreleased documents on unidentified anomalous phenomena, widely referred to as UFOs.

These materials appear on the Pentagon's official website and feature black-and-white images of airborne objects, official government reports, and accounts from pilots and NASA astronauts.

One document recounts Buzz Aldrin's observation of a bright light during the Apollo 11 flight. Officials encourage the public to interpret the documents' implications for extraterrestrial life independently, although some experts caution that the footage might lead to misunderstandings.

Health officials in Spain's Canary Islands are readying for the arrival of the cruise ship linked to a hantavirus outbreak. Authorities indicate that over 140 passengers and crew members will be evacuated via buses, but only once their return flights are confirmed.

Representatives from the U.S. and U.K. have announced plans to dispatch aircraft for their nationals' evacuation. The vessel is scheduled to reach Tenerife, near West Africa's coast, on Sunday. Spain's emergency services leader states that passengers will head to an isolated zone with - quote - "no chance" of resident interaction.

Virginia Barcones (through interpreter):

The primary plan under consideration is for the 147 passengers to arrive symptom-free, with regular flights in place. That said, we have also arranged for a specialized medical plane to cover all possibilities.

However, numerous port employees are demonstrating against the ship's approach. Concerns range from virus transmission risks to operational disruptions at the harbor. Officials confirm no symptomatic individuals remain aboard.

President Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine have accepted a three-day truce at his urging, timed for Russia's Victory Day observances this weekend. In a social media update, he noted the pause would - quote - "include a suspension of all kinetic activity and also a prisoner swap of 1,000 prisoners from each country." Both the Kremlin and Ukraine's leader have verified the deal.

Prior to this, mutual accusations flew over breaches of independent cease-fires. Russia shared footage claiming to depict Ukrainian attacks on a civilian airport in Rostov-on-Don.

In Florida, a jury today found four men guilty of conspiring in the 2021 killing of Haitian President Jovenel Moise. The slaying sparked deep instability in the island nation, enabling gangs to expand their dominance.

These four were charged not with the direct murder but with scheming to install their preferred leader for personal gain. They face potential life terms. Five additional plotters have already admitted guilt and received life sentences.

ABC has charged the Federal Communications Commission with breaching its First Amendment freedoms. This stems from the FCC's probe into "The View" for possibly failing to offer equal time to political figures under federal guidelines.

In today's submission, the network argues the FCC's moves - quote - "threatened to upend decades of settled law and practice and chill critical protected speech." ABC has faced repeated scrutiny from the Trump administration, including over Jimmy Kimmel's recent remarks about first lady Melania Trump.

Wall Street saw solid advances today after a strong jobs update. The Dow Jones industrial average edged up 12 points for a nearly flat finish, while the Nasdaq surged over 400 points to another high. The S&P 500 ended the week positively.

Pulitzer-winning reporter and writer Philip Caputo has passed away. His 1977 book "A Rumor of War," detailing his Vietnam platoon leadership, stands as a cornerstone of war literature. It captures the mental strain of battling an elusive foe.

Adapted into a CBS miniseries, it examined moral decline as troops, even from his unit, targeted civilians linked to Vietcong. Caputo penned nearly a dozen novels too. His son cited cancer as the cause. He was 84.

Legendary broadcaster Sir David Attenborough is celebrating his 100th birthday, joined by global fans and environmental enthusiasts, despite his preference for a low-key affair.

Sir David Attenborough, Naturalist:

I had rather thought that I would celebrate my 100th birthday quietly, but it seems that many of you have had other ideas.

Amna Nawaz:

Celebrations feature a BBC two-minute homage on a massive London screen, plus museum gatherings, film showings, and widespread accolades.

For 70 years, Attenborough has delivered nature's wonders via series like "Life on Earth" and "Blue Planet," enlightening us on wildlife and humanity alike.

Sir David Attenborough:

It's really very unfair that man should have chosen the gorilla to symbolize all that is aggressive and violent, and that's the one thing that the gorilla is not and that we are.

Amna Nawaz:

Thus, on his milestone birthday, the "News Hour" extends congratulations to Sir David Attenborough for rendering our world more approachable and offers heartfelt thanks.
