Alexei Navalny, a prominent critic of Russian president Vladimir Putin, died in prison on Friday, according to Russian state media. He was 47. Interfax, the Russian news agency, reported Nalvany "felt unwell after a walk, almost immediately losing consciousness," citing the country's prison service. The death of Navalny — who was poisoned with a nerve agent in 2020 and spent his final years behind bars in a remote penal colony — ends his yearslong fight against corruption in the country, and leaves Russia's opposition without a clear leader. Read more about Nalvany, and why he was such a thorn in Putin's side. |

| Iowa Hawkeyes guard Caitlin Clark made history last night when she became the NCAA women's career scoring leader, breaking the old record of 3,527 career points. It didn't take Clark long to reach the milestone in the matchup against Michigan, scoring the 8 points she needed during the first quarter. The game paused for a timeout after the historic moment as Clark hugged her teammates. At halftime, the 22-year-old spoke about what the milestone meant to her. "Lucky to do it, because I have really good teammates, really good coaches and a great support system ... but we need to play better defense," she said, her head clearly still in the game.
