May 21, 2021: Israel-Hamas ceasefire, Kevin McCarthy, Capitol riot, hate crime bill, and BBC Diana interview

1. A truce between Israel and Hamas took hold after the worst violence in years, with President Joe Biden pledging rapid humanitarian assistance and the United Nations urging renewed Israeli-Palestinian dialogue.

2. A week after House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy gambled he could unify his caucus by ousting a prominent critic of former President Donald Trump, a new Trump-inspired rift has raised questions about his leadership.

3. President Joe Biden signed into law the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act that overwhelmingly passed in Congress, a rare show of bipartisanship following a spate of high-profile attacks on Asian Americans.

4. Nearly four months after the U.S. Capitol attack, just one of more than 440 people charged has pleaded guilty, a sign of tough conditions set by prosecutors for plea deals and resistance by defense lawyers to their demands.

5. A BBC journalist used deceit to win a sensational 1995 interview with Princess Diana in which she disclosed intimate details of her failed marriage to Prince Charles. The broadcaster then covered up the deception, an inquiry found.
