TODAY

While Ukrainian defenders in Mariupol continue to hold their ground, Russia
flexed its muscles by testing a nuclear-capable ICBM. Rockets flew between
Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza overnight. French presidential
candidates fired scathing verbal attacks in last night’s debate. And Mali is
blocking U.N. investigators from the site of a civilian massacre. All this and
more in today’s PDB.

RUSSIA TESTS NEW ICBM TO MAKE FOES ‘THINK TWICE’

As Ukrainian defenders in Mariupol held their ground and ignored another Russian
deadline to surrender, the Kremlin announced a successful test of a new
nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile. President Vladimir Putin
said the RS-28 Sarmat would make those who “try to threaten our country think
twice.” While Russian space agency chief Dmitry Rogozin described it as “a
present to NATO,” the Pentagon waved it off, saying the test was no threat to
the U.S. or its allies. Nonetheless, U.S. officials postponed a Minuteman III
ICBM test launch over concerns that Russia could use it to justify renewed
attacks in Ukraine. (Sources: WaPo, DW)

Tit for Tat

ISRAEL, PALESTINIAN MILITANTS EXCHANGE FIRE AS GAZA TENSION MOUNTS

Cross-border violence erupted early Thursday as Israeli aircraft hit Hamas
targets in Gaza and Palestinian militants fired rockets into southern Israel.
Confrontations have surged in recent weeks after Israeli military operations in
the occupied West Bank killed at least 29 Palestinians and a series of deadly
street attacks killed 14 people in Israel. Tensions are particularly high this
year as the Muslim holy month of Ramadan coincides with the Jewish celebration
of Passover, making Jerusalem’s Old City — with holy sites for both religions —
a flashpoint for conflict. Yesterday it saw a demonstration by hundreds of
flag-waving Israeli ultra-nationalists, who clashed with police. (Sources:
Reuters, AP)

Gloves Off

MACRON AND LE PEN SPAR BEFORE CLOSE FRENCH ELECTION

France’s centrist incumbent President Emmanuel Macron and far-right candidate
Marine Le Pen faced off in a fiery three-hour debate last night before Sunday’s
election. Macron repeatedly accused Le Pen of being beholden to Russia for a
$12.2 million loan from Putin and for her reaffirmation last week that she’d
leave NATO to form stronger alliances with Moscow. Le Pen stuck to the economy,
a stance that has won her support among Macron skeptics. Left-wing Jean-Luc
Mélenchon, who came third in the first round of voting, refused to endorse
either candidate, but did admonish: “Not one vote for Marine Le Pen.” (Sources:
NYT, Le Monde, Al Jazeera)

Justice Denied

UN INVESTIGATORS BLOCKED FROM SITE OF MALI MASSACRE

The United Nations is “extremely concerned” that the West African nation is
preventing investigators from visiting the scene of an attack in the town of
Moura, where local troops and suspected Russian mercenaries allegedly killed
hundreds of civilians in late March. Mali’s military denied the allegations,
calling the attack a professional operation against insurgents. U.N.
spokesperson Seif Magango noted that other human rights abuses, including rape
and summary executions, had been reported by witnesses, saying the civilian
death toll could be as high as 500. Magango added, “Time is of essence to ensure
accountability and prompt, effective justice for victims.” (Sources: France24,
Al Jazeera)

Briefly

HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TODAY: 

False alarm. The U.S. Capitol was evacuated Wednesday evening for an “aircraft
that poses a probable threat” — though it was just a plane carrying Army
parachutists to a pregame show at a Nationals baseball game. (Source: NYT) Out
ASAP. Rapper A$AP Rocky was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport
Wednesday in connection to a November 2021 shooting, but he’s been released on a
$550,000 bond. (Source: CNN) A royal celebration. Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's
oldest and longest-reigning monarch, celebrates her 96th birthday today.

INTRIGUING

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

SCIENTISTS CAN MEASURE VISUAL IMAGINATION BY LOOKING YOU IN THE EYE

Aphantasia, a rare condition that makes people unable to form mental images, is
tricky to study. For one thing, it depends on someone visualizing and describing
something they can’t picture. But scientists in Sydney say they’ve found the
first physiological evidence of aphantasia by measuring pupil dilation. Test
subjects studied light and dark objects and were asked to imagine the same
shapes. Those who were able to vividly imagine them showed a strong pupillary
response, while participants with aphantasia showed zero pupil dilation.
Researchers hope the test “could be scaled up to run online for millions of
people everywhere.” (Sources: IFLScience, Medical Xpress)

Forever Young

EVERYONE IN SOUTH KOREA MAY BE GETTING YOUNGER

In South Korea there are three ways to calculate age: The international system,
counting from someone’s birth date, for official documents. Another method ages
everyone up on New Year’s Day, making December babies nearly a year older than
they seem. Standard “Korean age” considers everyone a 1-year-old at birth and
adds a year on Jan. 1, so babies born Dec. 31 are 2-year-olds the next day. Thus
BTS’s Kim Tae-hyung, aka V, is simultaneously 26, 27 and 28 years old.
President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol hopes to standardize the country’s counting system
— and shave off some years — to end the “persistent confusion.” (Source: BBC)

Let It Go

FLORIDA WANTS TO END DISNEY’S ‘SPECIAL DISTRICT’ OVER LGBTQ SUPPORT

Florida’s Senate passed a bill Wednesday that would strip Walt Disney World of
its self-governing status, a move with potentially huge tax consequences for the
theme park. Disney, one of Florida’s biggest private employers, was granted
control of the 27,000-acre Reedy Creek Improvement District in the 1960s, and
has since transformed Orlando into a wildly popular tourist destination. But
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has targeted the company over its opposition to the
new state law, dubbed “Don’t Say Gay” by critics, which limits education about
sexual orientation and gender identity. Florida’s House of Representatives will
take up the bill today. (Sources: AP, Politico)

Penalty Box

WORLD’S LARGEST HOCKEY STICK ENDANGERED BY WOODPECKERS

North Cowichan, British Columbia, boasts the world’s largest hockey stick — a
61,000-pound behemoth mounted on the local community center. But in recent weeks
that massive hunk of Douglas fir has become home to an unwelcome new resident: a
northern flicker woodpecker that’s determined to drill holes in the wood. Staff
have tried plugging the holes with steel wool and attaching a plastic owl, but
the persistent bird seems set on moving in. While community center staff want to
protect the landmark, they say if the woodpecker has established a nest, its
family can call the hockey stick home for the season. (Sources: CTV News, Times
Colonist)

Missteps

SEXUAL MISCONDUCT SCANDAL DEEPENS FOR CELEBRITY DANCE COMPANY

When allegations of sexual harassment and predatory behavior struck the
California-based Break the Floor dance company last fall, CEO and former dancer
Gil Stroming insisted he’d make it a safe place for the 300,000 aspiring dancers
it hosts each year. But Stroming, a former dancer who founded the company 22
years ago, stepped down and sold the company in January. Now interviews with
dozens of former and current staff and students have revealed that the
allegations go back to Break the Floor’s early days and involve its famous
teachers and choreographers — as well as Stroming himself. (Sources: AP, Toronto

CONSCIOUS MIND. COMFY FEET.

The right shoes can not only put some pep in your step, they can also help you
make a statement. When you wear Cariuma, you tell the world that you care about
your look – and the people you share the planet with.

Beyond the consciously-sourced materials and the commitment to reforestation,
there’s the knowledge that you support ethical factories. Try them once, and we
