Ukraine finally deploying US-made F-16 fighter jets – Five stories you need to know | Reuters
1. Stock markets tumbled on Monday, with Japanese shares at one point exceeding their 1987 “Black Monday” loss, as fears of a U.S. recession sent investors fleeing from risk while wagering that rate cuts would be needed to rescue growth.
2. Ukrainian pilots have started flying F-16s for operations within the nation, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday, confirming the long-awaited arrival of the U.S.-made fighter jets more than 29 months after Russia’s invasion.
3. Vice President Kamala Harris will interview three top candidates – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, U.S. Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro – at her Washington, D.C., residence on Sunday ahead of a final decision on her running mate.
4. Hurricane Debby is expected to slam into the Big Bend region of Florida’s Gulf Coast by midday on Monday before slowly crossing the state, causing potentially dangerous storm surges and catastrophic flooding, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said.
5. Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned on Monday and fled the country, as more people were killed in some of the worst violence since the birth of the South Asian nation more than five decades ago. Army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman announced Hasina’s resignation in a televised address to the nation and said an interim government would be formed.
