| | | Zelenskyy tells ABC News Putin should start a dialogue instead of giving 'another ultimatum': In an exclusive interview Monday with ABC News anchor David Muir, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the path to peace is "more difficult than simply acknowledging" another ultimatum from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy, who spoke with Muir from the presidential office in Kyiv, has been faced with three conditions by the Kremlin in order to end the war: recognize Crimea as part of Russia, recognize the independence of the two separatist regions in Ukraine and give up on joining NATO. But instead of simply acknowledging Putin's demands, Zelenskyy said that Ukraine has a solution -- Putin would just need to have a discussion with him. "What needs to be done is for President Putin to start talking," Zelenskyy said. "Start the dialogue …" Russia has resorted to hitting civilian targets using long-range missiles or artillery, which Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said the U.S. believes to be due to frustration over the slow pace of operations. However, Russia declared a temporary cease-fire in Ukraine at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, and said it is prepared to open humanitarian corridors from Kyiv and several other key Ukrainian cities it has encircled. However, officials are cautioning those in the area that Russia has previously violated its own cease-fire by shelling evacuation areas. | | Hundreds of migrants arrive on boat in Florida Keys: At least 356 Haitian migrants traveled by boat on a dangerous trek to the coast of the Ocean Reef community in Key Largo, Florida, on March 6, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. CBP took custody of 158 people who swam to the shore from the vessel, according to Alan Regalado, the public affairs specialist for CBP in Florida. The 198 people who stayed on the boat were stopped and transferred to U.S. Coast Guard boats. Many Haitian refugees have left their countries due to the devastating impacts of natural disasters and political instability that have also resulted in economic struggles for the country. Now, the CBP says that the processing of such migrants who made it onto U.S. soil after their voyage depends on their claims and background. However, those 158 migrants may be subject to Title 42, which is a clause of the 1944 Public Health Services law that allows the government to expel migrants without giving them a chance to apply for asylum during a public health emergency. | | Florida surgeon general bucks medical consensus that healthy children should get COVID-19 vaccine: Despite widespread support for pediatric COVID-19 vaccinations from the nation's top health officials, Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo announced that Florida will become the first state in the country to advise against vaccinating healthy children for COVID-19. During a 90-minute roundtable discussion in West Palm Beach, Florida, Ladapo pointed to a study released last week out of New York that suggested new data showed that Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine protection waned relatively quickly in children between the ages of 5 and 11, as compared to older children. But researchers in the study, which has not been peer-reviewed, said the vaccine still dramatically reduced the risk of hospitalization. In response to Ladapo's announcement, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that the state's decision was "absolutely not" a good policy. | | Starbucks barista learns sister is cancer-free at drive-thru: Last month, 18-year-old Emily Mejia received the happiest news during her shift at a Starbucks drive-thru. Mejia was brought to tears when her mother pulled up to the drive-thru window with a unique order: a latte with a shot of espresso, 2% milk and 100% cancer-free -- her mom's way of sharing that Mejia's younger sister, Megan, no longer had cancer. In 2021, Megan went to the emergency room because she had pain in her lower body. "It felt like a never-ending charley horse," said Megan, who was later diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. "I couldn't walk. That was the first time I had ever been in a wheelchair." Despite how serious Megan's diagnosis was, she still handled it through smiles and laughter. Now, Megan is hoping her story gives hope to others going through similar situations. "There's hope even when you feel like it's all lost," she said. "It'll be worth it in the end." | |
