In tonight's other news, European leaders are rallying behind Ukraine ahead of the Trump-Putin summit plan for this week in Alaska. A statement from leaders of the E.U. and six European nations emphasized the need for a lasting peace in Ukraine and stressed that no peace agreement is possible if Ukraine isn't involved.
On Fox News Sunday Morning Futures, Vice President J.D. Vance said President Trump is seeking the best solution for all involved.
J.D. Vance, U.S. Vice President:
If you take where the current line of contact between Russia and Ukraine is, we're going to try to find some negotiated settlement that the Ukrainians and the Russians can live with, where they can live in relative peace, where the killing stops. It's not going to make anybody super happy. Both the Russians and the Ukrainians probably at the end of the day are going to be unhappy with it.
John Yang:
Vance went on to say he doesn't believe a meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would be productive and that Mr. Trump can bring the two countries together.
The National Weather Service is warning of the risk of wildfires in the west this week. It says a mixture of high temperatures, gusty winds and low humidity is creating dangerous conditions, especially in the Southwest. The agency says any fires that start have the potential to spread rapidly.
In much of Europe, record high temperatures are fueling wildfires from Spain to France, Italy to Greece. Firefighters are battling blazes that in many places are forcing people to evacuate. European officials say fires have burned the biggest area of the continent in nearly 20 years.
And the search is on for the culprits behind the great Labubu doll heist. Authorities say four people broke into a Southern California toy store this past week and stole thousands of dollars worth of the popular collectibles.
An artist in Hong Kong created the toothy grinning monsters 10 years ago, but they've only recently become popular. They sell for anywhere between 40 and $200 each. The store's owner says some of the stolen dolls have been recovered, but many of the items taken by the Labubu bandits are still at large.
Still to come on PBS News Weekend, recent college grads are facing the most challenging job market in years and a special school that's teaching the next generation about the importance of farm animals.
