Friday brought a UN war crimes finding, a changing of the guard at Berkshire Hathaway, and a strange new shape spinning around Saturn’s pole. Here are the ten stories worth five minutes of your day.

1. UN experts say US strikes in Iran amounted to war crimes. A fact finding mission says February strikes on a school and a sports complex killed more than 150 civilians and crossed into war crimes territory. The State Department rejects the finding.
2. A bombed apartment tower collapses in Gaza, killing 20. Nearly a year into the ceasefire, a seven story building that had already been hit in an earlier strike came down on its own. It is a stark reminder of how much unstable rubble is still standing across the territory.
3. DOJ charges five Russian operatives in a Brooklyn murder for hire plot. Prosecutors say the network offered a recruit forty thousand dollars to kill a Russian dissident living in the US. He backed out before it happened.
4. Key details are still unsettled days before the Trump-Xi summit. Aides on both sides are still negotiating logistics down to speaking slots and campus visits. The guiding principle is perfect reciprocity, so neither leader gets more than the other did on his own turf.
5. House sends a Russia sanctions bill, named for the late Lindsey Graham, to Trump’s desk. The bill lets the president slap tariffs on countries like China and India that keep buying Russian oil and gas.
6. Warren Buffett steps down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway. At 96, he is handing the chairman’s seat to his son Howard and taking the title of chairman emeritus. It closes out one of the longest runs in American corporate history.
7. The SEC opens a five year path for trading stocks as blockchain tokens. Platforms can now offer tokenized versions of real shares with the same voting rights and dividends as the originals, something crypto firms have pushed for years.
8. Huawei speeds up its answer to Nvidia’s AI chips. The company is moving its next generation AI chip launch up to early 2027 as China tries to close the computing gap with the US. Export restrictions on advanced chips have only sharpened the race.
9. Congress faces new pressure to finally write AI rules. Lawmakers on both sides sound more willing than ever to regulate the industry. Nobody has agreed yet on what those rules should actually say.
10. Hubble spots a mysterious ten sided wave circling Saturn’s south pole. The pattern stretches about 104,000 miles across and looks like a geometric twin to the hexagon that has circled Saturn’s north pole for decades. Data suggest it only started forming in the past few years.

That is the day in ten stories. See you tomorrow.
