Ukraine's drone attacks temporarily halt flights in Moscow, across Russia
(Reuters) -Ukraine's overnight drone strikes have forced a temporary suspension of flights in all airports serving Moscow and the country's second-largest city St. Petersburg, but caused no damage, Russian officials reported on Tuesday. Russian air defence units destroyed a total of 102 Ukrainian drones overnight, the Russian defence ministry - which reports only how many were downed, not the number Ukraine launched - said on the Telegram messaging app. Nearly half of the drones were destroyed over the Bryansk region that borders Ukraine, the ministry said. Three drones were downed over the Moscow region and two over the Leningrad region, of which St. Petersburg is the regional capital. Russia's civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia temporarily halted flights at all four major airports serving Moscow and St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Airport, as well as at airports in nine other cities to ensure safety, it said on Telegram. Flights in Moscow and some other cities were restored by Tuesday morning, but restrictions were still in place in St. Petersburg at 0430 GMT. Regional governors, who wrote about the attacks on Telegram, did not report any damage caused by the attacks. (Reporting by Lidia Kelly in Melbourne; Editing by Chris Reese and Saad Sayeed)

Justice Department reaches deal with Boeing to allow planemaker to avoid prosecution
Justice Department reaches deal with Boeing to allow planemaker to avoid prosecution Show Caption Hide Caption Luxury Qatari Boeing 747 jet accepted by Pentagon The Pentagon accepted an "unprecedented gift" from Qatar, a Boeing 747 that the White House plan to use as Air Force One. WASHINGTON - The Justice Department said on May 23 it has struck a deal in principle with Boeing to allow it to avoid prosecution in a fraud case stemming from two fatal 737 MAX plane crashes that killed 346 people. The agreement allows Boeing to avoid being branded a convicted felon and is a blow to families who lost relatives in the crashes and had pressed prosecutors to take the U.S. planemaker to trial. Boeing has agreed to pay an additional $444.5 million into a crash victims' fund that would be divided evenly per crash victim on top of an additional $243.6 million fine. The Justice Department expects to file the written agreement with Boeing by the end of next week. (Reporting by David Shepardson; Editing by Chris Reese)

Fanduel owner cuts US profit forecast on gamblers' winning streak
DUBLIN (Reuters) -Fanduel-owner Flutter cut its forecast for full-year U.S. profit growth on Wednesday after a winning streak for gamblers hit earnings at the world's largest online betting company for the second quarter in a row. Bookmakers tend to suffer when favourites win and Flutter expects U.S. core profit to be $180 million lower this year at $1.13 billion due to an unprecedented run of bettor-friendly results during the March Madness college basketball tournament. Flutter nudged up its group-wide profit forecast to $3.18 billion from $3.16 billion in March following a $100 million positive foreign currency impact and a $120 million acquisition contribution not included previously.
