AP News, I'm Ben Thomas. An AP analysis of Gaza Health Ministry data finds the proportion of Palestinian women and children being killed in the Israel-Homass War appears to have declined sharply. Joe Fetterman reports from Jerusalem. The percentage of women and children among the dead has indeed declined. When the war erupted last October, that number was about two-thirds. But in April, the most recent month of data, the number fell below 40%. Our analysis found that the drop mirrored a shift in Israel's battlefield techniques. In recent months, it relies much more on limited ground operations and smaller and more precise drone strikes. Still, in an upcoming report to the Security Council, the UN Secretary-General plans to list both Israel and Hamas as violating children's rights in the war. In Paris, President Biden met with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky. "I apologize for the weeks of not knowing what's going to happen, the surge of funding, because we had trouble getting the bill that we had to pass, had the money, and some of our very conservative members." Zelensky is saying. "It's very important that in this unity, United States, all American people stay with Ukraine. It was during World War II how United States helped to save human lives, to save Europe." The White House says the new USAID has helped Ukraine thwart Russia's assault on its second largest city, Harkiv. In Delaware, Hunter Biden's daughter testified at his federal gun trial. Mike Kunselman was there for us. "Nayomide Biden recounted seeing her father on a visit to New York City, and she remembered getting a text message from a minute to a o'clock in the morning asking to meet somewhere else so they could switch cars. And the text messages that were out in court indicated that she was pretty upset. She said, 'I'm really sorry, Dad. I can't take this. I miss you so much. I just want to hang out with you.'"

The Stanley Cup final starts tomorrow in Florida, with the Panthers host Edmonton's Oilers. Meantime, the NBA final is headed for Game 2. Kevin Koolbar recaps last night's Game 1. The Boston Celtics stormed out to a 1-0 lead in the NBA finals with a 1-0-7-89 Game 1 blow-out win over the Dallas Mavericks. Jalen Brown led Boston with 22 points. Christops Forzinga scored 18 of his 20 points off the bench in the first half, in his return from a left-calf strain that had sidelined him since Game 4 of the first round. "Even if I have time off, I can jump right back in and I feel the same way and I get to my spots and I do so, whether it's playoff, regular season, or whatever, you know, it's I know how to do this." Jason Tatum scored 16. Luca Donchus scored a Game High 30 points for Dallas. Game 2 is Sunday. Gethan Koolbar, Boston. And I'm Ben Thomas. AP News. Thanks for listening.
