May 9, 2023: Russia fires missiles at Ukraine, China, Canada expel diplomats, debt ceiling meeting, Trump's civil rape trial, Congo
1. Russia fired cruise missiles at Kyiv on Tuesday and paraded troops and vintage equipment across Red Square in a curtailed celebration of victory in World War Two, while Kyiv fended off the air strikes and hosted the head of the European Union.
2. China on Tuesday expelled a Canadian diplomat in Shanghai in a tit-for-tat move after Ottawa told a Toronto-based Chinese diplomat to leave, escalating tense relations amid concerns about Chinese influence in Canada.
3. U.S. President Joe Biden meets Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other congressional leaders at the White House afternoon for closed-door talks as a potentially catastrophic June default looms.
4. Donald Trump's absence from a trial where writer E. Jean Carroll accuses him of rape and defamation shows that "he did it," a lawyer for Carroll said on Monday, while Trump's lawyer told jurors the case was “outrageous.”
5. More than 5,500 people are still unaccounted for in an area in east Democratic of Congo where floods killed more than 400 people last week, a local official said on Tuesday, as shaken survivors waited for food aid.
