Oct. 17, 2025, 10:42 AM EDTBy Katherine DoyleWASHINGTON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday, with long-range Tomahawk missiles and the trajectory of the war with Russia on the agenda as Kyiv intensifies its push for U.S. military aid.The sit-down follows Trump’s phone call Thursday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which Moscow warned that a U.S. decision to provide long-range Tomahawks to Kyiv would sharply escalate tensions. The missiles, which could be used to strike deep into Russia, would signal a “qualitatively new stage of escalation,” the Kremlin said.Follow along for live updatesTrump has not announced a decision on the weapons, but adding to the speculation, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promised that more “firepower” was coming for Ukraine ahead of a NATO defense ministers’ meeting in Brussels this week. It is not clear whether the Tomahawks were part of that.Zelenskyy arrives in Washington after a night of punishing strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, underscoring the push for more air defenses and long-range capabilities to pressure Russia to end the war.Trump says he will have another summit with Putin in Budapest02:29The White House meeting on Friday caps a week of back-and-forth signaling from both leaders. Trump has publicly floated the possibility of providing Tomahawks, while Zelenskyy has framed the discussion as part of a broader effort to secure the weapons needed to deter Russia and defend critical infrastructure.Zelenskyy has also struck an optimistic tone, suggesting that diplomatic breakthroughs elsewhere, as Trump has secured a fragile ceasefire in Gaza, could help create momentum for ending the war with Russia.Trump appeared to acknowledge as much in his address to the Israeli parliament on Monday, saying, “Let’s focus on Russia first.”During his campaign for president last year, Trump promised to solve the war within 24 hours, but he has since conceded it is a more difficult task than he anticipated and turned his attention to other conflicts after months of negotiations with Moscow yielded little progress.Returning from the Middle East on Monday, Trump said he was considering approving the Tomahawk missiles, saying they would offer “a new step of aggression” in the war against Russia. He also said he might tell Russia, “If this war is not going to get settled, I’m going to send [Ukraine] Tomahawks.”“We may not, but we may do it. I think it’s appropriate to bring up,” Trump said aboard Air Force One. “I want to see the war settled.”He said he discussed the possibility with Zelenskyy during a call last weekend. “We’ll see,” Trump said.Trump also said this week that he plans to meet with Putin in Budapest in the coming weeks after making “great progress” in their call on Thursday. It would be Trump’s second meeting with Putin in recent months as he seeks to bring the war to a close.Trump said he had asked Putin in a “lighthearted” way if he would mind if he sent Tomahawks and that Putin opposed the move. “What do you think he’s going to say, ‘Please sell Tomahawks?’” Trump joked to reporters.Katherine DoyleKatherine Doyle is a White House reporter for NBC News.

A hallmark of many of the brand’s styles, “CloudTec” is composed of differently shaped holes that cover the external and bottom surfaces of the shoes, according to the lawsuit. At least 11 of On’s sneaker styles are referenced in the lawsuit, including the Cloud 5 and Cloud 6, CloudMonster, and Cloudrunner, among others. Lawyers for the plaintiffs did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A representative for On said the company does not comment on ongoing legal matters. According to the lawsuit, “CloudTec” was created to “provide cushioned support when wearers land.” But according to plaintiffs, the technology “rubs together” when wearers walk or run, “causing a noisy and embarrassing squeak with each and every step.” The lawsuit, however, admits that while the squeaky shoes are “seemingly inconsequential,” the company has allegedly refused to provide refunds to those who are unhappy with their sneakers, leaving customers with “no relief after buying almost $200 shoes they can no longer wear without their doing significant DIY modifications to the shoe.” “No reasonable consumer would purchase Defendant’s shoes — or pay as much for them as they did — knowing each step creates an audible and noticeable squeak,” the lawsuit states. Nurses and those who are on their feet all day “bear the brunt of this defect,” the suit argues, which allegedly causes “issues for consumers in their daily lives.” According to the lawsuit, complaints about the squeaking have been widespread and documented on TikTok and Reddit, where customers share “DIY” remedies for the noisy shoes, including rubbing coconut oil on the soles or sprinkling baby powder inside the sneaker. The lawsuit alleges the company is aware of its squeaky sneakers, but its warranty does not cover reports of noisy soles as On characterizes them as “normal wear and tear,” and has stated in online comments that “squeaking isn’t currently classified as a production defect.” The lawsuit also alleges that the company can better make its products to avoid squeakiness, but that On has “done nothing” to remedy the issue. Plaintiffs allege they have suffered an “ascertainable loss” due to fraudulent business practices and a “deceptive marketing scheme,” and are seeking “compensatory, statutory, and punitive damages” as well as refunds on their squeaky sneakers.

Kennedy, has revealed her terminal cancer diagnosis in an essay published by The New Yorker on Saturday.The 35-year-old has acute myeloid leukemia, with a rare mutation called Inversion 3.Schlossberg said she was diagnosed on May 25, 2024, the same day she gave birth to her second child. Hours after delivery, her doctor noticed her abnormally high white-blood-cell count and moved her to another floor for further testing. She initially dismissed the possibility of cancer and was stunned when the diagnosis was confirmed, saying she had considered herself “one of the healthiest people” she knew. “This could not possibly be my life,” she wrote.Schlossberg spent five weeks at Columbia Presbyterian after her daughter’s birth before her blast-cell count dropped enough for her to begin chemotherapy at home. Her care later moved to Memorial Sloan Kettering, where she underwent a bone-marrow transplant and spent more than 50 days before returning home for more treatment.In January, Schlossberg joined a clinical trial for CAR T-cell therapy. She wrote that much of the treatment unfold from her hospital bed as her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was nominated and confirmed as secretary of health and human services, a role she believes he was unqualified for.Schlossberg thanked her husband and her family for their support for countless days spent at her bedside.“My parents and my brother and sister, too, have been raising my children and sitting in my various hospital rooms almost every day for the last year and a half,” she added.Her brother, Jack Schlossberg, announced earlier this month that he is running for Congress. The 32-year-old is running for the New York City seat which has long been held by Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler, who in September announced he will not seek re-election.Despite all of Schlossberg’s treatments, she said, the cancer continued to return.“During the latest clinical trial, my doctor told me that he could keep me alive for a year, maybe,” she wrote. “My first thought was that my kids, whose faces live permanently on the inside of my eyelids, wouldn’t remember me.”Schlossberg is now trying her best to be in the present with her children.By profession a writer, for several years Schlossberg was a reporter for the Science section of The New York Times where she covered climate change and the environment. Schlossberg’s essay comes on the 62nd anniversary of her grandfather’s assassination, adding her diagnosis to a long history of tragedy within the Kennedy family. JFK’s son, John F. Kennedy Jr. and his wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy died in a plane crash in 1999.Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert F. Kennedy who was assassinated in 1968, died in Oct. 2024 from complications from a stroke. She was 96.Kate ReillyKate Reilly is a news associate with NBC News.

Oct. 22, 2025, 8:07 AM EDTBy Jason Abbruzzese and Corky SiemaszkoAmerican grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky’s death has sent shock waves through the professional chess world, with many top players blasting a Russian rival who accused him of cheating during online matches.They said Naroditsky, whose death at age 29 was reported Monday, was bullied relentlessly online by Russian former world champion Vladimir Kramnik, with some calling for Kramnik to be banned from the game.Kramnik, who has accused many players of cheating in online play, first voiced “concerns” about Naroditsky’s play last year, leading to an ongoing feud between the two players. Kramnik routinely posted online about Naroditsky, calling for an investigation into his play and at times appearing to threaten legal action against him.In an October 2024 interview, Naroditsky characterized Kramnik’s efforts as “a sustained, evil and absolutely unhinged attempt to destroy my life.”Others in the chess community said the accusations had taken their toll.”He said he was under immense stress due to a lot of baseless accusations — headed by Kramnik, of course,” Indian grandmaster Nihal Sarin, who said he was the last to play Naroditsky, told The Indian Express.”I can totally imagine the pain he was going through and it has been going on for a very long time,” he told the paper. Sarin did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment.
