COVER STORY: The long history of America's conflict with CubaThe small island nation of Cuba, just 90 miles from Florida, has played an outsized role in America's foreign policy for close to 70 years. Now, the Trump administration is blocking nearly all oil shipments from reaching the island, worsening its humanitarian crisis, with the president threatening he will be "taking Cuba." Correspondent Mo Rocca talks with history professor Jorge Malagon-Marquez about U.S. interventions in the past, and how tensions between Washington and Havana have even outlived the late dictator Fidel Castro.

SPORTS: It's finally sunny in Wrexham: Hollywood stars revive a Welsh soccer townIn 2021, Hollywood A-Listers Ryan Reynolds (the Marvel superhero character "Deadpool") and Rob "Mac" McElhenney (the long-running comedy series "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") went all-in on a very different kind of franchise, when they bought a failing football club in the northern Welsh city of Wrexham. Surprise and skepticism gave way to success, as Wrexham AFC went from losers to winners, and the club's value rocketed to nearly half a billion dollars. Ramy Inocencio reports on how reviving a nearly-forgotten soccer team has resurrected the pride of a beleaguered city – and inspired underdogs around the world.

Luke Grimes' Kayce Dutton Is 'Really' Missing Dad Kevin Costner After a Big Win in “Marshals”

Warning: This post contains spoilers for the April 26 episode ofMarshals.

NEED TO KNOW

• Several references are made to Kevin Costner's Yellowstone character, John Dutton, in the April 26 episode of Marshals

• Luke Grimes' character, Kayce Dutton, at one point says, "I really wish my father was still around," after a successful endeavor with his team

• Costner's character died in the second half of Yellowstone season 5 after the actor announced his exit from the series

The loss of John Dutton is one that still haunts Kayce.

Kevin Costner'sYellowstonecharacter, whodiedin the second half ofYellowstoneseason 5, continues to to be painful for his youngest son, Kayce (Luke Grimes).

In the April 26 episode ofMarshals, Kayce and his U.S. Marshal team work tirelessly to rescue Andrea (Ash Santos), who was abducted by Randall Clegg (Michael Cudlitz). During the mission, Kayce couldn't help but feel the weight of his family on his shoulders.

As he explained to Cal (Logan Marshall-Green), the "ghosts" of his family were to blame for Andrea being taken in the first place.

"The Dutton curse," he told his teammate. "Clegg's had it out for my family for years, and I put one of his sons down hard. So whatever happens to Andrea, it's on me."

Later, when Andrea was rescued safely and the team got their hands on Randall, Kayce once again referenced his dad.

"I really wish my father was still around, so he could see Montana rid itself of the Cleggs," he said.

Costner's character diedin the final season ofYellowstone, after Costner, 71,announced his exit from the series.

John's death initially appeared to be self-inflicted, but it was later revealed that Sarah Atwood (Dawn Olivieri) had arranged a murder-for-hire scheme amid her relationship with Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley), John's son and Kayce's older brother. In the series finale, Beth (Kelly Reilly), John's daughter,killed Jamieover his involvement in their dad's death.

After fans learned of the patriarch's fate, Grimes, 42, said that while he knew fans felt "sort of cheated," he had a different perspective.

"I think we were all lucky to have Kevin on the show as long as we did,” he told PEOPLE. "It was always the plan for him to have to go away for the story to really ramp up, and that was the story. You lose a patriarch of the family. Can the kids do it on their own?"

"I think originally he was supposed to die much earlier. So, in a way, they got way more of John Dutton than they were going to originally get," Grimes added. "I would keep that in mind."

New episodes ofMarshalsair Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.

Pistons-Magic takeaways: Detroit's problems are coming to a head as Orlando aims to dunk No. 1 seed

Can we just talk about Orlando Magic forward Jamal Cain's dunk on Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren?

I mean, seriously, look:

Do we even care about the game? Like, who actually won? I genuinely don't remember.

That is one of the nastiest throw-downs ever and not just in a playoff context. Cain kept climbing and dunked on Duren, a man built like a Greek god, so hard the All-Star center backpeddled after coming down back to Earth.

(OK,the Magic took a commanding 3-1 series lead by winning 94-88, but that's definitely just a B-story to Cain's jam.)

In all seriousness, let's dive into Orlando's big win Monday night as it tries to become the seventh No. 8 seed to knock off a No. 1 in NBA history.

Cade Cunningham's turnovers are a team issue

As Cunningham entered Game 4, he had totaled 19 turnovers in the the series.

By halftime, he was up to 25 after turning it over six times in the first half.

While Cunningham is ultimately responsible for hanging on to the ball, the Pistons' roster construction isn't doing him any favors.

With both Duren and Ausar Thompson being almost entirely non-threats from the outside, Orlando has the freedom to double- and even triple-team Cunningham, swarming him whenever his feet are inside the 3-point line.

While Tobias Harris has done a solid job of adding spacing and overall scoring, the bottom line is simple: It shouldn't be this difficult for the Pistons to generate offense through Cunningham, but they have no other creators on the roster.

Perhaps they should have made a play for someone at the trade deadline, instead of sitting still.

But here they are, shooting 37.8% from the floor and 20% from 3 in a crucial Game 4 as their season appears to be slipping away.

Wendell Carter Jr. is eating Jalen Duren's lunch

Throughout the regular season, it was never in doubt who, among Carter and Duren, had the best season. Duren was an All-Star, a double-double machine and one of the most exciting young players in the league.

Carter, who is far more of a role player than a featured star, apparently didn't get the memo.

During this series, the 6-foot-10 Carter has constantly outhustled, outworked and outdone Duren. It's not always reflected in his raw line (Carter had 12 points and 11 rebounds in Game 4), but his effort has put a spotlight on Duren as he enters free agency this summer.

Duren has struggled mightily all series, scoring a grand total of 39 points over the course of the four games, finding it difficult to get up shots, getting beat by Carter on backdoor lobs and overall having one heck of a troublesome series, which could cost him millions this July.

Dear Jamahl Mosley, make better use of Paolo Banchero

I may sound like a broken record here, but giving Banchero the ball high out on the floor and asking him to "do stuff" (which I'm guessing is his directive, because there doesn't seem to be anything close to a plan), is aching for punishment.

Banchero isn't a natural shooter, nor is he particularly effective as a spacer.

He is, however, ridiculously good near the rim, and when he ducks in for layups and dunks, he draws a ton of fouls and converts plays.

Orlando has one of the most inconsistent offenses in the league, and its plan is to use its most versatile offensive player, who is an athletic 6-10, 250-pound powerhouse, as an outside-in option?

It's been nonsensical for a while now, and it only looks worse after Banchero shot 4-of-18 from the floor and missed all four of his 3-point attempts Monday night.

Employee testifies against owners of Dominican club where roof collapse killed 236

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) — A former employee of a popular nightclubwhose roof collapsed a year agoand killed 236 people told a judge Monday that the owners were fully aware the structure was deteriorated.

Gregory Adames testified against siblings Antonio and Maribel Espaillat, who are accused of involuntary manslaughter and involuntary assault and battery following the collapse at the legendary Jet Set club in Santo Domingo.

“They knew because I sent them photos, I sent them videos of all the problems that were there. That shouldn’t have happened; not a single person should have died there,” Adames said.

Attorneys for the victim’s families asked in court for the siblings to be accused of voluntary manslaughter.

“We hope that happens,” Jean Carlos Martínez Segura, who represents nine families, told The Associated Press.

The potential prison sentence is up to 20 years for voluntary manslaughter but is two years for involuntary manslaughter.

Monday’s court hearing is expected to continue Friday, with a judge eventually deciding whether there’s enough evidence to hold a trial.Relatives of the victimshave complained about delays and slow judicial proceedings.

Prosecutors have said hundreds of pieces of evidence implicate the siblings, whowere arrestedlast June.

Miguel Valerio, the Espaillats’ attorney, told reporters after their arrests: “Nobody wanted that to happen.”

Prosecutors have accused the Espaillats of trying to intimidate or manipulate employees. Antonio Espaillat is considered a powerful businessman who owns upscale entertainment centers and dozens of local radio stations.

Hundreds of people including many high-profile Dominicans were at the nightclub for a concert on April 8, 2025, when the roof collapsed. Those who died includedsinger Rubby Pérez; Nelsy Cruz, the governor of Montecristi province and sister of Major League Baseball All-Star Nelson Cruz; and former MLB pitcherOctavio Dotel. More than 100 people were injured in the collapse and rescuersworked around the clockto pull out survivors.
