May 5, 2023: Wagner fighters, Serbia's second mass shooting, North Carolina abortion ban, Hollywood strike, Florida, Disney

1. Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of Russia's Wagner Group mercenary force, said in a sudden and dramatic announcement on Friday that his forces would pull out of the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut that they have been trying in vain to capture since last summer.

2. Police arrested a suspect after eight people were killed in Serbia's second mass shooting in just two days, as President Aleksandar Vucic on Friday responded to what he said was a "terrorist attack" with proposed tough new gun control measures.

3. North Carolina's Republican-controlled legislature passed a bill on Thursday that limits the window for most abortions to 12 weeks, down from 20, which could sharply reduce access to the procedure for millions of women across the U.S. south.

4. The group representing Hollywood studios fired back at claims from striking film and television workers that they have been forced into the "gig economy" because of changes brought by the streaming TV era.

5. Florida's Senate passed a bill that will allow a tourism board appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis to cancel development agreements its predecessor body signed, the latest salvo against the Walt Disney from the conservative leader.
