00:00Tonight, breaking news. Former President Joe Biden is diagnosed with cancer.

00:05Plus, the deadly crash of a Mexican naval ship slams into the Brooklyn Bridge,

00:09and the new severe weather threat with more than 50 million people at risk.

00:13We begin with the news just coming in about the former president diagnosed with prostate cancer

00:18with metastasis to the bone. His office is calling it a more aggressive form of the disease,

00:23what we're learning about possible treatments.

00:25Also tonight, the terrifying moment a tall ship slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge,

00:29killing two crew members. Others were left hanging from the mast.

00:33The ship, part of Mexico's Navy, was on a goodwill tour of multiple countries,

00:37new reporting on what may have caused it.

00:39The FBI says the man believed to be the suspect in the Palm Springs bombing was a 25-year-old

00:44who targeted a fertility clinic in what they're calling an intentional act of terrorism.

00:49What does writings reveal about a motive? The building was largely destroyed, but the embryos

00:54were saved. The death toll is rising from those violent storms that ripped through the South

00:59and Midwest. We speak with a family that was inside their home when their house was thrown

01:03across the street. Plus, the new severe threat in many of those same areas could be hit again.

01:09New details in that shocking jailbreak in New Orleans. Police are now checking cameras,

01:13hoping to use facial recognition to find them. High-stakes phone calls. President Trump is

01:18planning to speak with Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky and seeking a peace deal for Ukraine.

01:23New trouble at America's airports. Two Alaska Airlines planes clip wings on the tarmac ahead

01:29of a potential record-breaking travel rush. And Pope Leo appears to get emotional as he

01:34celebrates his inaugural mass before 200,000 of the faithful.

01:38From ABC News World Headquarters in New York, this is World News Tonight.

01:49Good evening, everyone. Thank you so much for joining us on this busy Sunday. I'm Lindsay Davis.

01:53Just before we came on the air, former President Joe Biden's office announced that he has been

01:57diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The former president and his family are now

02:03reviewing treatment options with doctors. Biden, the 46th president of the U.S., is 82 and left

02:08office nearly four months ago. At the time, he was the nation's oldest serving president. His office

02:14says he recently began experiencing symptoms and was diagnosed with cancer two days ago. Former

02:19Vice President Harris responded by calling him a fighter. Dr. Darian Sutton is standing by with

02:24analysis. But first, ABC's senior White House correspondent, Selina Wang, leads us off.

02:28Tonight, former President Biden revealing he's been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate

02:34cancer. Biden's spokesperson says the cancer has spread to the bone and that while this represents

02:40a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone sensitive, which allows for

02:45effective management. The president and his family are reviewing treatment options. The spokesperson

02:51says the 82-year-old was experiencing increasing urinary symptoms days after they announced doctors found a

02:58small nodule on the 82-year-old's prostate. His prostate cancer is characterized with a Gleason score

03:04of 9, which medical experts say indicates the cancer cells are likely to grow and spread rapidly. But the

03:11hormone sensitivity of the cancer offers a viable treatment pathway. Biden ended his more than five

03:17decades in public service in January, leaving office as the oldest president in history after abruptly

03:24dropping out of the presidential race last summer. He's mostly stayed out of public view, except for

03:30attending Pope Francis's funeral in April and now pushing back against a slate of new books, questioning his

03:36mental acuity at the end of his presidency. They are wrong. There's nothing to sustain that.

03:42Former First Lady Jill Biden forcefully defending her husband.

03:46I mean, he'd get up, he'd put in a full day, and then at night he would, I'd be in bed,

03:53you know, reading my book, and he was still on the phone reading his briefings,

03:58working with staff. I mean, it was nonstop.

04:03And a source tells us Biden is currently in Wilmington, Delaware, as reactions are pouring

04:07in from leaders, including from President Trump, who's posting on social media tonight

04:11that Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis.

04:16We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and

04:21successful recovery. Lindsay?

04:23So many share a similar sentiment. Selena, thank you. Let's bring in the ABC News medical

04:28correspondent, Dr. Darian Sutton. And we should note you have never treated the former president,

04:32but based on just his age, how common would you say is a prostate cancer diagnosis at this

04:38state of life? It's very common. Approximately 3 million men are living with this diagnosis this

04:43year. An additional approximate 300,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Now,

04:47the risk of the diagnosis of prostate cancer increases with age. Approximately 60% of those

04:52who receive this diagnosis are over the age of 65, so this fits in line with that. But just another

04:57reminder of why it's so important to continue with screening, because most often an early diagnosis

05:02has the best outcomes. However, with metastasis and other factors, as well as age and the

05:07medical history of the patient, that helps us to better understand the specifics of that risk.

05:12Of course. Always important to stay updated with those tests. Give us a sense, because we do know

05:18that the president's office released a few details, including that he had metastasis to the bone,

05:24also a Gleason score of 9. Explain what that means.

05:26Yeah. So, well, we'll presume that there was a biopsy done between when we found or when he found that

05:31he had a nodule between that and his diagnosis. And during that biopsy, a pathologist, a physician who

05:36looks at the cells that are removed from the body to better understand how abnormal they are,

05:40creates a score. And the higher the score, the more abnormal the cells are in the realm of prostate

05:46cancer. Now, a score from 8 to 10 is a more aggressive, a more likely to spread. And the

05:51president has received a Gleason score of 9. But beyond that, Lindsay, additional testing is done,

05:56not only to understand how spread that cancer is, which is how we understand that it has metastasized or

06:01spread to the bone, but also hormone testing. Testosterone and other like hormones can stimulate

06:07the growth of cancer cells. We found that the president, it's been reported that he has

06:11hormone sensitive cancer, which means that there is an opportunity for an additional form of

06:15treatment, which can improve his outcome. So appreciate you walking us through this

06:20diagnosis, Dr. Sutton. Thank you. And now to the investigation into the crash of the Brooklyn

06:25Bridge. A Mexican Navy tall ship slammed into the iconic structure, killing at least two people,

06:30more than a dozen others were injured. Several members of the crew who had been on the mass

06:35before they hit the bridge, were suspended helplessly in midair. ABC's Rhiannon Alley has

06:40more. Tonight, the terrifying moments when this Mexican Navy tall ship carrying nearly 300 people

06:49slammed into the Brooklyn Bridge, killing two crew members and injuring more than a dozen.

06:55We're about to watch it crash into the Brooklyn Bridge. Dramatic videos from land capturing the

07:00moment it happened at about 8.20 Saturday night. The captain that was maneuvering the ship

07:06lost, I guess, power of the ship. You can see it traveling backwards when the mass hit the bridge

07:12one after another. Onlookers watching in disbelief. We thought it was maybe going to go under the

07:19Brooklyn Bridge at like the highest point so it would avoid striking the mast, but then we noticed it

07:24was going backwards. And it kept coming and coming and coming. And I just remember thinking, wow, this is

07:29so odd, like getting too close. And then it crashed. First responders rushing to the scene to aid the

07:35injured. Luckily, officials say no one fell into the water. Officials say there was no major damage to

07:41the bridge. This is a tough bridge. It was overbuilt from the very beginning and this stood an awful lot.

07:47We are just feet away from the ship. And at the top, you can see those snapped masts that hit the

07:51underside of the Brooklyn Bridge. Up there right now, you can also see people in harnesses.

07:56NTSB investigators among those now on the scene. What the NTSB is going to do is treat this exactly

08:02like they would have an air accident. They're going to take a look at everything. This crash brings back

08:06memories of March 2024 when a cargo ship slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore after it

08:13lost power, causing a catastrophic collapse. Six construction workers were killed.

08:20This ship arrived in New York just last week for a goodwill tour. And officials say it was headed to

08:25Iceland when it crashed. And now investigators are trying to figure out exactly how this could have

08:31happened. Lindsay? Rhiannon, thank you. Tonight, the FBI is identifying the suspect they say is behind

08:36the explosion at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. They believe 25-year-old Guy Edward

08:42Barkus was killed in the blast. And tonight, what authorities are saying about a possible motive?

08:47ABC's Jacqueline Lee reports from Palm Springs. Tonight, the FBI revealing who they suspect was

08:52behind the car explosion, seen here rocking a Palm Springs fertility clinic. We are fairly confident

09:00that that subject is Guy Edward Barkus, 25-year-old, and this was a targeted attack against the IDF

09:08facility. The blast collapsing buildings, blowing out windows, killing the suspect,

09:13and injuring four others. Authorities saying it was an act of terrorism and calling Barkus

09:18nihilistic. We are able to save all of the embryos at this facility. Good guys one, bad guys zero.

09:26In writings reviewed by ABC News, Barkus believed the world should not be populated. The U.S. attorney in

09:32Los Angeles describing the writings as a quote, anti-pro-life manifesto. Is that part of the

09:38investigation and a possible planned attack? We are looking through that. We are tracking a

09:42possible manifesto out there and it's part of our ongoing investigation. Nima Tabrizi was nearby and

09:47saw the blast. Our initial reaction was, wait a minute, this isn't normal. Definitely sounded like

09:53a sonic boom. Even my girlfriend didn't believe me at first and I was like, that's a human body part.

09:59The car explosion crumbling parts of this fertility clinic. This debris field spans more than 250

10:06yards in all directions. The contents of the building is spread over all five lanes of traffic.

10:11The American Reproductive Center writing in a statement, we are immensely grateful to share that

10:16no members of the ARC team were harmed. Authorities finding the suspect's body near the charred car on

10:22scene. Lindsay, authorities confirmed the suspect tried to live stream the explosion. Officials executed a

10:29search warrant at his home in the city of 29 Palms. And of course, the investigation is ongoing.

10:35Lindsay.

10:35Jacqueline, thank you. Now to the devastation in parts of the Midwest and South with more severe weather on

10:41the way. Entire city blocks in St. Louis now reduced to rubble. At least five people are confirmed dead

10:47in the city. And the death toll across the worst hit states has risen to at least 28.

10:52ABC's Alex Dillon reports tonight from London, Kentucky.

10:56Tonight, the frightening image. This deadly twister tearing through southeast Kentucky.

11:01You can hear the roar of the wind and see the flashes of light in Laurel County on Friday night.

11:07Part of a multi-state severe weather outbreak claiming over two dozen lives.

11:11Tornadoes reported in at least six states. This one in southeast Missouri.

11:16Back in Laurel County, Kentucky tonight, cleanup is underway. As those injured by the tornado are

11:22returning to see what's left. About where the Tahoe's sitting there was the kitchen.

11:27David Farler, his wife, daughter and four grandchildren, hid in closets in the home he built by hand,

11:33which looked like this before the tornado hit. Incredibly, his home lifted off the ground with the

11:39family inside and was carried across the street. I'm thinking, when is this going to stop? It felt

11:45like it went on forever. My wife said she was floating around. Buried under debris, including

11:50granite countertops, the entire family made it out alive with only minor injuries, able to dig

11:55themselves out. David took me back to see what remains of the home. You thought it was the end?

12:00I thought it was the end. I've never come that close to death before in my life. At least 19 people

12:06killed in this state, 17 in the county alone. Each a child of God, missed by their family that

12:11have people mourning them right now. And tonight, we're learning some of their names. Major Leslie

12:16Roger Leatherman of the Laurel County Fire Department was fatally injured while responding

12:21to the tornado. The department writing, his courage, commitment and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

12:27In Missouri, the city of St. Louis also hit hard. An estimated 5,000 buildings impacted there,

12:33five people losing their lives in the city, more than three dozen injured.

12:39And Lindsay, this is where that family home once stood that blew down the street, the SUV where

12:44their kitchen was. And this area is bracing for more severe weather later this week. Lindsay?

12:49Our hearts certainly go out to those families, Alex. Thank you. And now, as you mentioned,

12:53a new severe weather threat is targeting millions again this week. These images from this afternoon show

12:58a tornado moving near the Denver airport. Tornado watches are in effect from Texas to Nebraska.

13:03Let's bring in WABC meteorologist Danny Beckstrom from our New York station. Danny,

13:08what's the greatest risk tonight?

13:11Large tornadoes, Lindsay. And this new multi-day severe weather threat is first focused over the

13:16plains tonight. Taking a look at the map, Texas up to Nebraska, bracing for severe storms with the

13:22greatest concern for strong tornadoes, as I just said. In the area shaded in red, including Wichita,

13:27that's under a level 4 out of 5 risk. Tomorrow, many of these same cities stay in the threat zone,

13:32but it also spreads east into much of Missouri, including St. Louis, still dealing with Friday's

13:36damage, a wide area at risk for very large hail and strong tornadoes. Tuesday, the threat shifts

13:40east again, with numerous severe storms expected from northern Louisiana and to nearly all of

13:45Kentucky, where they're bracing for the second round in just a matter of days. Lindsay?

13:49No rest for the weary. Danny, thank you. We're alerting more tonight about the brazen jailbreak by 10

13:54inmates in New Orleans. An urgent manhunt is underway for the seven men still on the loose.

13:59ABC's Faith Aboube reports from New Orleans. Faith, tell us what you're learning.

14:05Lindsay, investigators are facing mounting pressure to recapture the seven remaining fugitives who

14:10escaped from this jail about two miles from the French Quarter here in New Orleans, the heart

14:15of New Orleans tourism. Some of those on the run are murder suspects. And tonight,

14:19officials are doing their best to reassure the public that they're throwing all resources at

14:24this investigation, including facial recognition cameras. Now, the nonprofit that is behind those

14:30cameras tell us that some of their cameras did help capture one of the escaped inmates,

14:35but another one did get away during the hours-long delay in alerting the public. Lindsay?

14:42Certainly a lot of urgency to capture them. Faith, thank you.

14:45Now to efforts at peace in Ukraine. President Trump is set to talk to Russian President Putin

14:50tomorrow and Ukraine's President Zelensky. The calls will come after Russia launched its largest

14:55drone attack yet overnight. At least one person was killed. ABC's Lama Hassan joins us. Now,

15:00Lama, we are just learning that President Zelensky met today with the vice president.

15:04What can you tell us about that? Yeah, that's right, Lindsay. For the first time since that blistering

15:09blow up in the Oval Office, President Zelensky meeting with Vice President J.D. Vance

15:14on the sidelines of Pope Leo's inauguration. They were seen shaking hands. Zelensky also meeting

15:21the Pope, thanking him for the Vatican's offer to hold talks between Kyiv and Moscow. President

15:26Trump saying he will call President Putin at 10 a.m. tomorrow. This is a crucial call. The stakes

15:31are high. He believes a ceasefire will take place. Trump will then speak with President Zelensky

15:36and NATO leaders. This comes after a diplomatic push for peace in Istanbul, holding direct talks

15:42for the first time in three years. Both sides agreeing to exchange 1,000 prisoners of war,

15:47the two sides still far apart on key issues. But what they did agree on is to continue talking.

15:53Lindsay? Perhaps a sign of progress. Lama, thank you. There's still much more ahead on World News

15:57tonight, this Sunday, including a dangerous incident at the Seattle airport and the dramatic

16:02come-from-behind win in one of horse racing's biggest events.

16:06Next tonight, new concerns about safety in the skies, including an incident between two Alaska

16:13airline planes in Seattle. Here's ABC's Christiane Cordero.

16:17As millions of people prepare to hit the sky for the record-breaking Memorial Day travel rush,

16:23tonight the FAA is investigating how two Alaska Airlines jets clipped wings at a Seattle airport.

16:29No injuries reported. Passengers on the two packed California-bound flights forced to deplane

16:34and board other aircraft. It comes as ABC News has learned of another close call earlier this month,

16:40this time at New York's LaGuardia Airport, one of the nation's busiest. An American Eagle jet cleared

16:46for takeoff and bound for Buffalo, New York, full of passengers racing down the runway when air traffic

16:51controllers tell the pilot to abort.

16:54The jet stopping just over 1,000 feet from a United flight taxiing on the same runway. Air

17:02traffic control apologizing for the confusion. The incident adding to a series of air traffic

17:10control-related incidents, including tech outages at a facility in Denver and one in Philadelphia

17:15that manages airspace for Newark's Liberty Airport. Controllers and pilots unable to communicate with

17:21each other for nearly 90 seconds. And Lindsay, today another incident, this time at Houston's

17:27Hobby Airport. Its air traffic control tower ran on a backup generator for about an hour this afternoon

17:33during a power outage. Flights were delayed. The FAA is investigating. Lindsay?

17:38More concern in the skies there, Christiane. Thank you. When we come back, the emotional ceremony

17:42at the Vatican as a Chicago native celebrates his inaugural mass as Pope.

17:49To the index now, and what a finish at the Preakness. The favorite journalism came from behind, chasing down

17:56Gosker at the wire for the win. Journalism takes the second leg of the Triple Crown after being edged

18:01out by sovereignty at the Kentucky Derby. When we come back, a special moment for the new Pope

18:06and a break with protocol. Finally, tonight, a Chicago native made history at the Vatican,

18:15and ABC's Maggie Rooley was there to witness it.

18:18Tonight, the world celebrates the American Pope. More than 200,000 crowding around St. Peter's Square

18:26to mark the official start of Pope Leo XIV's papacy on a day of both elation and deep emotion.

18:34The mass, rich in tradition. Pope Leo praying before the tomb of St. Peter

18:41for receiving the symbols of the papacy. The palium, a woolen vestment worn over his shoulders.

18:49And the fisherman's ring, a signet ring, bearing the image of St. Peter.

18:54A moment that resonated with emotion for the new Pope.

18:58It must be an awesome thing to look at that ring and see your connection to St. Peter.

19:04At one point, the Popemobile stopping for Pope Leo to hold and bless babies in the crowd.

19:09Jerry Spearman knew Pope Leo from his time at Villanova.

19:12A man who was and is very personal to me and so many of my former Augustinian confreres

19:21is now a gift to the world, not only the church, but to the world.

19:28And Lindsay, after his history-making mass, this moment, Pope Leo breaking protocol to hug his brother,

19:35Louis, from Florida. And Lindsay, we have seen how Pope Leo's connecting with just every American

19:40we meet here on the ground. And now he'll be the Holy Father to 1.4 billion Catholics around the world.

19:46Lindsay, what a touching moment. Maggie, thank you. And thank you so much for watching.

19:51David Muir right back here tomorrow. I'm Lindsay Davis. Have a great night.
