A major prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine is underway, a senior Ukrainian official said Friday.The swap is not yet finished, the official told the Associated Press, despite President Donald Trump declaring Friday that Russia and Ukraine completed a "major prisoners swap."The announcements come after Russian and Ukrainian officials took part in direct talks in Turkey last Friday for the first time since the early days of the war, agreeing to release around 1,000 prisoners of war."A major prisoners swap was just completed between Russia and Ukraine. It will go into effect shortly," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "Congratulations to both sides on this negotiation. This could lead to something big???"WILL VANCE REMARK ABOUT US BAILING ON UKRAINE ENCOURAGE PUTIN TO SINK NASCENT PEACE TALKS?On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X that "I held a meeting on the preparation for an exchange" and "The agreement to release 1,000 of our people from Russian captivity was perhaps the only tangible result of the meeting in Turkey."Trump had a phone callwith Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday. Following the conversation, Trump said "I believe it went very well.""Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War. The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of," Trump said. "The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent. If it wasnt, I would say so now, rather than later."PUTIN VISITS KURSK REGION FOR FIRST TIME SINCE BOOTING UKRAINIAN FORCES FROM TERRITORYPutin, in a statement after the call, also noted that "a ceasefire with Ukraine is possible" but noted that "Russia and Ukraine must find compromises that suit both sides."The Kremlin then said Thursday that both sides had no direct peace talks scheduled."There is no concrete agreement about the next meetings," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to the Associated Press. "They are yet to be agreed upon."Fox News Digitals Morgan Phillips contributed to this report.

As the Secretary of Energy honored to play a role in implementing the historic agenda of President Trumps first term, it was deeply troubling to watch Joe Biden spend four years undoing that progress with a relentless war on American energy.President Biden failed to grasp that affordable, reliable energy is the cornerstone of fighting inflation, creating jobs, and ensuring our national security. His crackdown on all forms of energy left us weaker on all three fronts.Thankfully, the voters delivered a mandate last November, ushering President Trump back to restore Americas energy dominance and he has been putting on a clinic the last four months by ramping up homegrown energy production at an unprecedented pace.GOP LAWMAKERS MOVE TO ROLL BACK BIDEN-ERA ENERGY PROGRAMSBy declaring a National Energy Emergency on his first day in office, the President showed that reviving our energy capabilities is a top priority. He followed this by rescinding Bidens efforts to freeze domestic oil and natural gas production. And in April, the White House issued executive orders to increase coal production, safeguard the energy industry from state overreach, and protect an energy grid that had become increasingly unreliable during the prior administration.These actions have already led to a 12% year-over-year gas price reduction. And more relief is on the way. The reconciliation bill Republicans advanced in the House yesterday is packed with provisions championed by the president to drive a surge in domestic energy production. Some key measures include:While this is a powerful blueprint for growth, there is one significant shortfall: the bills approach to certain energy tax credits.The House budget bill indiscriminately phases out or repeals nearly every major tax credit from the so-called Inflation Reduction Actincluding credits for electricity generation (45Y and 48E), hydrogen production (45V), and advanced manufacturing (45X). While it may be sensible to phase out credits during a carefully planned transition period, it is not good policy to make abrupt changes that stifle investment and create uncertainty. With so much at stake right now, it is crucial that we do not eliminate the policies that support actual U.S. energy production and keep energy costs low.In the face of soaring demanddriven by AI, data centers, industrial reshoring, and electrificationevery molecule or megawatt we disincentivize contributes to market scarcity and rising costs. These are not academic choices, but critical price signals. Pulling energy production offline nowwhether fossil, renewable or otherwise makes America less secure and American consumers poorer.As Vice President Vance noted earlier this year, the surest way to fight Biden-era inflation is to lower energy costs that means growing, not shrinking, our domestic supply.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONIts also important to acknowledge the economic reality: these credits are lowering consumer costs, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, and supporting billions of dollars in private sector investmentmuch of it in Republican-led states. Gutting these incentives indiscriminately would strain the economy and risk political backlash in key districts at a time when conservative leadership has never been more necessary.President Trump understands this. Thats why he created the National Energy Dominance Council and embraced an all-of-the-above energy approach not as a slogan, but as a strategy. America wins when we produce everything: oil, gas, coal, nuclear, and renewables. Taking any of them off the table whether by regulation or tax policy weakens our position.We should celebrate the wins this administration has already delivered. But we shouldnt offset them by slashing energy tax credits that genuinely drive production, create jobs, and enhance our national security.The goal is dominance, not disruption. Congress should act accordingly.

As health-conscious Americans look for ways to eat better, there is a mobile app that shoppers can use to guide them at the grocery store, sometimes with surprising outcomes.Yuka is a free app that proponents of the Make America Healthy Again movement are embracing even U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr."I use Yuka," Kennedy told Fox News Digital in April.EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT MAHADeveloped in France, Yuka expanded to the U.S. in 2022.It has been gaining ground, with about 25,000 new users each day, co-founder Julie Chapon told Fox News Digital. (See the video at the top of this article.)"I think consumers are really being more conscious now about what they want to eat and there is really this need to have access to more transparent information," said Chapon from New York City.Sam Stark, a public relations consultant in New York City, said she uses the app "about every other shopping trip, mostly when I'm considering adding something new to our meals.""My husband and I eat as [healthfully] as possible with minimal processed foods, but we also want variety," she told Fox News Digital."It's become a regular part of my shopping routine when I'm browsing unfamiliar products."Many times, Stark said, she'll avoid a food product that has scored poorly."I often use it to compare similar products, such as which granola is actually the healthiest option," she said."The results can be surprising.""I've limited and given up foods I really enjoyed as well, like this blue cheese dressing I loved, after seeing the rating. Sometimes the app tells you what you need to hear to make better choices."Stark also introduced her friend to Yuka.FARMERS COME FIRST AS INITIATIVE AIMS TO LOWER THEIR COSTS, GET FRESH FOOD TO AMERICANS MORE EFFICIENTLYCristina Cote, a New York-based real estate broker, told Fox News Digital that she uses the app every time she shops, "especially when exploring new products.""I appreciate Yuka as a tool to be mindful and make healthy choices," Cote said.She's also cut out products that score poorly on the app.'GOD-INTENDED FOODS' ARE KEY TO A HEALTHIER AMERICA, EXPERT SAYS"If I find out that a product I like is not well-rated, I will stop buying it and replace it with something healthier and [purer]," she said."It can be disheartening when you find out something you enjoy contains harmful ingredients."Yuka lets users scan the bar codes of food products, generating a score from one to 100 based on three criteria: nutritional quality (60% of the rating), the presence of additives (30%) and whether the product is organic (10%), Chapon said.AMERICAN NUTRITION A TOP PRIORITY FOR MAHA AS THE 'KNOWLEDGE DOC' WEIGHS INThe scores are then color-coded into four different categories: excellent (dark green), good (light green), poor (orange) and bad (red)."You also have access to a detailed information sheet on each product to understand why the rating is good or bad," Chapon said.If an item receives a poor or bad rating, Yuka recommends similar products with a better ranking."The app is 100% independent," Chapon said. "We receive absolutely no money from brands or manufacturers to influence our evaluations or recommendations."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERAlthough Yuka isn't affiliated with MAHA, Chapon credits the increasingly popular movement for the app's ascent and for challenging the food industry."I think the MAHA movement has also fueled this interest," Chapon said.Yuka also has a feature that allows users to call out a food maker with a high-risk additive.Since the feature launched in November, more than 600,000 callouts have been made, Chapon said."A lot of brands have received a lot of emails and they are very mad," Chapon said. "But that's part of our mission and we know it's risky."Among the brands that have had dialogue with Yuka are Tru drinks and Chobani, Chapon said.For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyleBoth companies "were really interested in improving their ratings and understanding why they don't have good ratings."Fox News Digital made multiple requests for comment to Tru drinks and Chobani about the app's rating system.Ultimately, Chapon said she hopes the app will "help people make better choices for their health" and "push manufacturers to improve what they put in their products.""We have many brands starting to really pay attention and trying to understand how they can do better. Sometimes they just don't realize they are using very controversial ingredients.""We are here to help them to improve," she added.Ashley DiMella of Fox News Digital contributed reporting.

Harvard is taking the Trump administration to court over its decision to terminate the universitys student visa program.Harvard said the policy will affect more than 7,000 visa holders and is a "blatant violation of the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause, and the Administrative Procedure Act," per its court filing.The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) moved to terminate the program after Harvard allegedly failed to provide it with the extensive behavioral records of student visa holders the department requested. DHS offered Harvard 72 hours on Thursday to come into compliance with the request.As of now, Harvard may no longer enroll foreign students in the 20252026 school year, and existing foreign students must transfer or lose their legal status to reside in the U.S. before the next academic year begins.The records requested include any footage of protest activity involving students on visas and the disciplinary records of all students on visas in the last five years.Requested records also include footage or documentation of illegal, dangerous or violent activity by student visa holders, any records of threats or the deprivation of rights of other students or university personnel.

Thursday night did not go well for the Chicago Sky, and it certainly was not a pleasant night for Angel Reese.The Sky went up against the reigning WNBA champions in the New York Liberty and fell, 99-74. However, it was a moment that occurred early in the game with Reese that was a preview, and somewhat of a microcosm, of the night.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMLess than three minutes into the game, Reese recorded five offensive rebounds in a 19-second span thanks to her own misses.Reese missed four shots from right underneath the basket, two of which were blocked. Reese finally kicked out a pass to Kia Nurse, but she missed the three-pointer, and it was a rebound Reese was unable to get.The moment quickly went viral on social media, with many making fun of Reese - one even said she was "not beating the allegations."The former LSU star averaged a double-double last season and set the WNBA record for the most rebounds in a single season (an injury cut her season short, and she was surpassed by A'ja Wilson). However, she has often been criticized in that the rebound stats are inflated due to missing layups and grabbing her own rebound.CAITLIN CLARK GETS CHIPPY WITH OPPONENT, DELIVERS A DAMNING MESSAGE: 'NOT SCARED'Reese wound up missing all eight of her shot attempts on the evening, scoring just two points and grabbing 12 rebounds - eight of them were offensive, and five of them had come in that sequence alone.It was the first time since 2021 that she failed to make at least one basket, ending a streak of 136 games, college and professional.Earlier in the season, Reese became the fastest player in WNBA history to record both 450 points and rebounds.Meanwhile, New York set a WNBA record with 19 three-pointers in their victory (the Las Vegas Aces once had 22 in a playoff game). Eight of nine Liberty players who attempted a 3-pointer made at least one from deep. Natasha Cloud and Kennedy Burke each hit four of them.New York shot 55% overall and made 16 of 17 free throws, a stark comparison to Reese's night.The Liberty play in Indiana against Caitlin Clark on Saturday, and Chicago visits Los Angeles on Sunday.

An NBA referee got one of the more brutal blows during a playoff game on Thursday night.During Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves, longtime official Scott Foster was bloodied after taking a hit to the face.Foster was putting up a jump ball between Lu Dort and Julius Randle in the first quarter, and as Dort was coming back down, he rocked Foster right in the face.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMFoster immediately ran toward the scorer's table, holding his hand beneath his nose to stop blood from getting on the court.He was attended to by trainers and given towels before plugging his nose to stop the bleeding.Foster has been an NBA official since the 1994-95 season. He has often been dubbed as "the extender," because it has become rather notorious that teams that are trailing in a playoff season often win games he is officiating.CAITLIN CLARK GETS CHIPPY WITH OPPONENT, DELIVERS A DAMNING MESSAGE: 'NOT SCARED'He has also become rather synonymous with Chris Paul, who went 3-17 in playoff games officiated by Foster. Paul was sitting courtside when the injury occurred.The Thunder took a 2-0 series lead with the help of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who, 24 hours after being named the NBA's MVP, dropped 38 points. OKC won, 118-103."I feel like all my emotions were so high, but I was a little bit tired out there, especially at the start," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "I was a little too juiced up. Special moment. Im happy we won, so I can really enjoy the last couple days and soak it up. That really helps."Jalen Williams had 26 points and 10 rebounds, and Chet Holmgren added 22 points for the Thunder.Minnesota closed to within 10 in the final period, but Oklahoma City kept the Timberwolves at bay late.Anthony Edwards scored 32 points, but it took him 26 shots to get them. Jaden McDaniels scored 22 points, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 17 for the Timberwolves.Now, Minnesota gets to go home, where it is 4-1 in the playoffs.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., said the U.S. should be "more fearful of white men" amid threats of domestic terrorism, which are comments from 2018 that resurfaced in May and attracted scrutiny from Republicans, including Vice President JD Vance.Omar, who walked away from reporters on Thursday when asked about the fatal shooting of two Israeli Embassy employees in Washington, D.C., the previous night, previously said the U.S. should be more concerned about white men."I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country," Omar said in a 2018 interview with Al Jazeera.WHITE HOUSE DECRIES 'EVIL OF ANTISEMITISM,' VOWS JUSTICE AFTER FATAL SHOOTING OF ISRAELI EMBASSY STAFFERSOmars remarks came in response to questions about the threats of domestic terrorism and "jihadism" in the U.S."And so, if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country, we should be profiling, monitoring and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men," Omar told Al Jazeera.A spokesperson for Omar did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital asking if Omar stood by her previous statements.The comments resurfaced in May after conservative influencer accounts, including Libs of TikTok, shared video footage of the interaction. Republicans, including Vance, condemned the statements."This isnt just sick; its actually genocidal language," Vance said in an X post May 5. "What a disgrace this person is."VANCE, CONSERVATIVES BLAST OMAR OVER RESURFACED FEARFUL OF WHITE MEN CLIP: GENOCIDAL LANGUAGEIn response to Vance, Omar said in an X post that she was "referring to the rise of white nationalism in an annual report issued by the Anti-Defamation League that said white supremacists were responsible for 78 percent of extremist-related murders.""PS you should look up what genocidal actually means when youre actively supporting a genocide taking place in Gaza," said Omar, who has been an outspoken advocate for the Palestinians in Gaza.On Wednesday evening, two Israeli Embassy staffers, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were leaving a museum event when they were gunned down and killed.

Democratic Party strategist James Carville said that former President Joe Biden's decline was clearly apparent to him and most of the voting public prior to the 2024 election, reacting to CNN anchor Jake Tapper's recent book he co-authored on the cover-up."And I think that Jake [Tapper], in that book, I mean, it was a good book, but to me it was a water is wet book," Carville told Fox News' Will Cain of Tapper's book, "Original Sin," which came out this week.The book, which details how Biden's inner circle worked to keep his sharp decline a secret, is sourced from conversations with administration officials and high-ranking Democratic insiders. The reaction to the book has been mixed, with praise for its revelations but also derision for coming late to the party.TRUMP HAS NOT DIRECTED ADMINISTRATION TO DECLASSIFY BIDEN DOCUMENTS ON HEALTH 'COVER-UP'"And I was saying this since 2022, alright?" Carville continued. "I think it was a big mistake for him to say he was running for reelection. And Ive said it at the time and I will say it now, and I will say it a thousand times.""It's not a job for 80-year olds," Carville said of Biden's age. Biden would have been 86 at the end of a second term if he'd been re-elected.The longtime political strategist argued that the decision to keep Biden in the presidential race until after his disastrous debate performance with President Donald Trump was a critical mistake for Democrats. "I don't know if it's his staff, or if it's the family or who it is, but whatever it was it was just a colossal mistake, and to this day fervently believe, there's no way to prove it I think it cost us the presidency," Carville said.Biden dropped out of the race last July and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement, but she lost to Trump. Some Democrats say Biden put Harris in an impossible position by waiting to leave the contest until less than four months before the election.NEW BOOK EXPOSES HOW TOP BIDEN COMMS STAFFER WAS 'TIP OF THE SPEAR' COVERING UP BIDEN'S COGNITIVE DECLINETapper's book has prompted a new wave of debates on Biden's declining mental acuity during his term, but the author has also admitted to failing to report sufficiently on the president's health concerns in his role at CNN as a news anchor.Fox News' Hanna Panreck contributed to this report.
