For the latest on Donald Trump’s hush-money trial, read our coverage &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/donald-trump-trials"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Judge Juan Merchan &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2024/may/03/trump-hush-money-trial-forensic-analysis-testimony-latest-updates?page=with:block-6634e7148f080b5e6ba92018#block-6634e7148f080b5e6ba92018"&gt;was referring&lt;/a&gt; to a claim Donald Trump made while addressing the media yesterday outside of court.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Speaking to reporters after court adjourned for the day on Thursday, the former president said:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m not allowed to testify. I’m under a gag order. I guess, right?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I’m not allowed to testify, because this judge, who’s totally conflicted, has me under an unconstitutional gag order.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I want to stress Mr Trump that you have an absolute right to testify at trial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That is a constitutional right that will not be denied or abnegated in any way ... It is a fundamental right that cannot be infringed upon ... the order prohibiting extra-judicial statements does not prevent you from testifying in any way.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2024/may/03/trump-hush-money-trial-forensic-analysis-testimony-latest-updates"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  59.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Ex-president’s former communications director says Access Hollywood tape ‘was a crisis’ for his campaign&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hope Hicks, Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign press secretary, broke into tears on Friday while testifying in the ex-president’s New York &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/donald-trump-trials"&gt;criminal hush-money trial&lt;/a&gt;, hours after she described his complete control over the campaign.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hicks, who cut a skittish figure in Judge Juan Merchan’s courtroom, is a key prosecution witness. She described Trump campaign staffers’ panic when a recording emerged in which Trump bragged about groping women. “This was a crisis” for his presidential bid, she said, describing the sentiment among the campaign staff.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/03/hope-hicks-testimony-trump-hush-money-trial"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  78.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Texas Democrat says he and his also accused wife are innocent amid claims they took money from Azerbaijan and Mexican bank&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The US justice department on Friday accused the Democratic congressman Henry Cuellar and his wife, Imelda Cuellar, of accepting about $600,000 in bribes in exchange for influencing policy in favor of Azerbaijan and a Mexican bank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Cuellars had made their first appearance before a federal magistrate judge in Houston by the afternoon, but it was not clear how they pleaded. Earlier, the congressman, who has represented a swath of Texas’s border with Mexico in the US House since 2005, issued a statement denying unspecified “allegations” against him.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/03/henry-cuellar-doj-indict"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  99.      <description>&lt;p&gt;New York police say about 29% of those detained ‘not affiliated’ with university as more are arrested at NYU and New School&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York’s police department has declared that approximately 29% of the people it arrested at pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University were “not affiliated” with the institution, as the city’s mayor continues to face scrutiny over his claims that the hardline police response was due to the actions of “outside agitators”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The NYPD also said 60% of arrestees at City College of New York (CCNY) on Tuesday night were unaffiliated with the college, though a CCNY spokesperson confirmed to the Guardian that these arrest figures applied to protesters both on and off the college’s grounds.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/03/college-gaza-protests-nyu"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

But the pregnancy test confirmed her suspicion: she was pregnant and, she realized, didn’t want to be.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/03/florida-abortion-ban-clinic"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  354.      <description>&lt;p&gt;Trump’s former fixer to appear as prosecution witness, while Avenatti, serving prison sentence, willing to testify for defense&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Donald Trump’s hush-money trial enters its third week, jurors will be asked to focus on the testimony of his former Mr Fixit – the disbarred lawyer Michael Cohen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cohen, who served as Trump’s personal attorney for 12 years until 2018, is acting as a witness for the New York district attorney, Alvin Bragg. The case could turn on Cohen’s testimony about payments sought by two women, the porn star Stormy Daniels and the Playboy playmate Karen McDougal, and how those payments were made and allegedly disguised, as prosecutors contend, in violation of accounting and political campaign laws.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/apr/28/cohen-avenatti-testify-trump-hush-money-trial"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  398.      <description>&lt;p&gt;The scenes in Florida of frantic and overcrowded clinics are a grim preview of the future that ‘pro-lifers’ want for women&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A Woman’s Choice, an abortion clinic in Jacksonville, usually sees somewhere between 10 and 15 patients a day. But last week, they extended their hours. On Monday, they scheduled somewhere between 70 and 80 patients, according to the &lt;a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/04/30/florida-abortion-ban/"&gt;Washington Post&lt;/a&gt;. The president of one reproductive health center spoke of warning her incoming patients about the scenes they would encounter at Florida’s abortion clinics. “We’re telling them, ‘Hey, it’s going to be busy,’” said Kelly Flynn.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For some, a deadline loomed after an anxious period of trying to scrape together the funding for the care they need: one doctor recalled calling patients who had delayed their appointments – in most cases because they hadn’t been able to secure enough money for the procedure yet – and reminding them that they don’t have much more time. For other women, a sudden realization led to a last-minute scramble. “One patient this morning told me that she had just gone for a regular doctor’s appointment last week and found out she was pregnant,” a clinician &lt;a href="https://www.wokv.com/news/local/an-emotional-toll-jacksonville-clinic-front-center-6-week-abortion-ban-takes-effect/SW5TX5LMW5ERHNBVQ6ZOQ7EJUA/"&gt;told&lt;/a&gt; the Florida news radio station WOKV.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Moira Donegan is a Guardian US columnist&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/03/floridas-abortion-ban-has-brought-fear-and-chaos-this-is-the-rights-vision-for-the-us"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  417.      <description>&lt;p&gt;In 1985, Columbia students occupied campus to push for divestment from South Africa. Five months later, the university cut ties to the apartheid regime after years of dragging its feet&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As three former 1980s student leaders at Columbia University, we applaud the courage and conviction of Palestine solidarity student activists in the eye of the storm. Despite the recent &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/gallery/2024/may/01/flares-arrests-and-a-police-ramp-nypd-break-up-student-protests-at-columbia-in-pictures"&gt;arrest of more than 100 protesters&lt;/a&gt;, they insist: “Disclose! Divest! We will not stop, we will not rest!”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We defend their right to protest and affirm the righteousness of their demands: an end to Israel’s &lt;a href="https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies/hrcouncil/sessions-regular/session55/advance-versions/a-hrc-55-73-auv.pdf"&gt;genocidal war&lt;/a&gt; against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza and to the complicity of the US government and institutions in its apartheid and &lt;a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/01/17/middleeast/israel-far-right-gaza-settler-movement-cmd-intl/index.html"&gt;ethnic cleansing&lt;/a&gt;. The international court of justice’s recent ruling that Israel is &lt;a href="https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/01/gaza-icj-ruling-offers-hope-protection-civilians-enduring-apocalyptic"&gt;plausibly committing genocide&lt;/a&gt; against 2.3 million Palestinians makes divestment a legal, not just ethical, obligation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/03/columbia-pro-palestinian-protest-south-africa-divestment"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  437.      <title>A new cold war? World war three? How do we navigate this age of confusion? | Timothy Garton Ash</title>
  438.      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/03/cold-war-world-history-future</link>
  439.      <description>&lt;p&gt;In history, as in romance, beginnings matter – so what we do now will be crucial in shaping the future&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In these times of planetary polycrisis, we try to get our bearings by looking to the past. Are we perhaps in &lt;a href="https://atlantic-books.co.uk/book/the-new-cold-war/"&gt;The New Cold War&lt;/a&gt;, as Robin Niblett, the former director of the foreign affairs thinktank Chatham House, proposes in a new book? Is this bringing us towards the brink of a third world war, as the historian Niall Ferguson &lt;a href="https://www.niallferguson.com/journalism/if-you-think-world-war-iii-is-unimaginablenbspread-this"&gt;has argued&lt;/a&gt;? Or, as I have found myself suggesting on occasion, is the world beginning to resemble the late 19th-century Europe of competing empires and great powers writ large?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Another way of trying to put our travails into historically comprehensible shape is to label them as an “age of …”, with the words that follow suggesting either a parallel with or a sharp contrast to an earlier age. So the CNN foreign affairs guru Fareed Zakaria suggests in his latest book that we are in a new &lt;a href="https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/461773/age-of-revolutions-by-zakaria-fareed/9780241692417"&gt;Age of Revolutions&lt;/a&gt;, meaning that we can learn something from the French, Industrial and American revolutions. Or is it rather &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/apr/14/the-age-of-the-strongman-by-gideon-rachman-review-a-rogues-gallery-of-autocrats"&gt;The Age of the Strongman&lt;/a&gt;, as proposed by the Financial Times foreign affairs commentator Gideon Rachman? No, it’s &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/05/high-gas-bills-vladimir-putin-perils-of-connected-world"&gt;The Age of Unpeace&lt;/a&gt;, says Mark Leonard, the director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, since “connectivity causes conflict”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/03/cold-war-world-history-future"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  461.      <title>Twelve horses died around the Kentucky Derby last year. Little has changed since | Elizabeth Banicki</title>

  463.      <description>&lt;p&gt;I have spent long stretches of my life around the racetrack. The methods for training young horses in the US means fatalities are inevitable&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Churchill Downs prepares to host the 150th Kentucky Derby on Saturday a darker anniversary looms. One year ago, &lt;a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/30/sport/horse-racing-deaths-emergency-summit/index.html"&gt;12 horses died at Churchill Downs&lt;/a&gt; in the days and weeks surrounding America’s biggest race.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As hype builds around this year’s runners, those who died fall deeper into the well of memory, if they’re thought of at all. Wild on Ice, a gelding born in 2020 and a Derby qualifier, &lt;a href="https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/268157/wild-on-ice-euthanized-following-derby-work"&gt;was euthanized&lt;/a&gt; after sustaining a hind leg fracture during training leading up to last year’s race. His connections expressed regret over their missed opportunity to watch him reach his full potential. A month later, Kimberley Dream, a seven-year-old “war horse” was making her 61st start when she &lt;a href="https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/kimberly-dream-becomes-12th-horse-euthanized-churchill-downs-since-march-30/22N34HUWMRGTXNXSXTA7S4QZ2I/"&gt;broke down in a claiming race&lt;/a&gt;. In the chart the final note on her short life read “went wrong in upper stretch”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/may/03/twelve-horses-died-around-the-kentucky-derby-last-year-little-has-changed-since"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  498.      <title>Did Darvin Ham cost LeBron James his last real chance at another NBA title?</title>
  499.      <link>https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/may/03/darvin-ham-fired-la-lakers-analysis</link>
  500.      <description>&lt;p&gt;The even-keeled Michigan native, who was &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/may/03/darwin-ham-fired-la-lakers-lebron-james"&gt;sacked as the Lakers’ head coach&lt;/a&gt; on Friday, was hired for his ability to manage personalities. Once he lost his players’ trust, it was only a matter of ⌛&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The date is 31 January, less than two months removed from the Los Angeles Lakers’ &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/dec/11/the-nba-cup-made-a-quiet-stretch-of-the-season-exciting"&gt;inaugural NBA Cup championship&lt;/a&gt;, and the Lakers are nosediving precipitously, racking up loss after loss in late December and into January. In a competitive Western Conference, being sub-.500, even by a game or two, simply will not get the job done for a championship hopeful. And the team does have a right to be among those hopefuls, buoyed by a shockingly healthy tandem of a freshly-39-year-old LeBron James and injury-prone big man Anthony Davis, who, to this point, have missed a combined eight games and are playing at an All-NBA level. But something clearly isn’t working, and time is of the essence. No one knows this better than foe of father time himself, LeBron: that night, after yet another demoralizing loss, he tweets out, simply, &lt;a href="https://x.com/KingJames/status/1752594250594652402"&gt;an hourglass&lt;/a&gt;. A single emoji has never loomed larger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the time, there is frantic speculation in regards to what, or to whom, the primitive timepiece is referring. Is it James’ underperforming supporting cast, with the trade deadline hovering in the immediate future? Is it the Lakers’ front office, who are no doubt aware of his player option looming in the coming offseason? Is it his own NBA mortality, to which he has &lt;a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10115134-lakers-lebron-james-not-sure-when-ill-retire-but-i-dont-have-much-time-left"&gt;admitted he will likely succumb sooner rather than later&lt;/a&gt;, despite no significant drop-off in production?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/may/03/darvin-ham-fired-la-lakers-analysis"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

  561.      <description>&lt;p&gt;City Football Group’s New York branch is up and running, Orlando City are floundering and Wilfried Nancy has built a continental juggernaut&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Welcome back to the Guardian’s MLS Power Rankings, where I have a beef with your specific team and your specific team alone. If you have complaints, toss ‘em in the comments down below, but be warned: I’m better at blocking out negativity than Pedro Gallese has been at stopping shots this season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, as a reminder, these aren’t your standard, run-of-the-mill power rankings. We’re still ranking teams from worst to first. But along with the rankings, we’re diving deep into a handful of teams from around the league who are doing particularly interesting things.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/may/03/mls-power-rankings-columbus-crew-inter-miami-champions-cup"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

The Star Wars actor &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/mark-hamill"&gt;Mark Hamill&lt;/a&gt;, who once saw off gangsters at a fictional spaceport, came to the US capital on Friday for a meeting with Joe Biden.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quite why he was in the Oval Office, and what was talked about, remained something of a mystery. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Biden was riding high in the opinion polls but now, perhaps, he is in need of added star power.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/03/mark-hamill-joe-biden-hollywood"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>

All the major US markets rose on the news.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/03/us-april-jobs-report"&gt;Continue reading...&lt;/a&gt;</description>
