The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating after a cargo plane crashed at Miami International Airport yesterday, killing five people and injuring five others. The Amazon Prime plane was landing at the airport around 2 p.m. ET when it overran the runway and crashed into vehicles on the ground.

Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner said their meetings with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv yesterday were "substantive."

The bridge-building nonprofit Fika is connecting communities in Rwanda separated by rivers and gorges. Since 2020, the charity has built 96 bridges, and a new study shows that life in those areas looks very different now. People are able to access assets that were once hard to reach. Before the bridges, crossing options could be costly and dangerous. But now, people have better access to healthcare, schools and even post offices that were previously only on the other side of the crossing. See photos of some of the towns changed by these bridges and read more about their impact.
