More than 700 refugees and migrants may have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea in the past few days as they attempted to cross the sea from Libya to reach asylum in Europe.  The UN High Commission on Refugees says it started with a hundred people missing from a capsized migrant boat on Wednesday; hundreds more are missing from another flipped boats on Thursday and Friday.  Only about 60 bodies have been recovered so far.  Medecins Sans Frontieres suggests the death toll could be worse than 900 lives lost.  The Mediterranean crossing has become the main route followed by migrants now that Turkey has stopped the flow of refugees. 

A French ship capable of searching the floor of the Mediterranean Sea for the black box flight recorders from EgyptAir Flight MS804 is coming from Ireland, and won't arrive at the crash scene for eleven or twelve days.  Recovery teams are fighting the clock, because the recorders can emit a locator signal for around four or five weeks after a disaster.  The Airbus A320 plunged into the during a Paris to Cairo flight on 19 may, meaning that the "pings" may give out before the end of June.  66 passengers and crew were killed in the crash, and precious little debris and human remains have been recovered so far.

There's some controversy over a US zoo's decision to shoot and kill a critically endangered male Western Lowland Gorilla after a four-year old boy fell into his enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo.  A witness recorded video of 17-year old Harambe dragging the boy around the moat of the enclosure, although other witnesses said this appeared to be an attempt to protect the child; it probably didn't help that people were screaming and yelling in the observation area.  Keepers ruled out tranquilizer darts because they'd take too long, and a sharpshooter took out Harambe as he held the child between his legs.  "The choice was made to put down, or shoot, Harambe, so he's gone," said Cincinnati Zoo Director Thane Maynard. "The child was not under attack but all sorts of things could happen.  He certainly was at risk." 

Iranian citizens will not be allowed to travel to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj this year, because the two nations failed to resolve issues over visas and transportation before Islam's annual pilgrimage.  It's believed that hundreds of Iranians were among the 2,400 or so people killed in a human stampede during last year's Hajj, but Saudi record-keeping on the tragedy has been vague at best.  Iran and Saudi Arabia are regional rivals and represent Shia and Sunni Islam, respectively. 

In Japan, parents admitted they left a seven-year old boy alone in the dense and mountainous forest of northern Hokkaido as punishment for acting up.  More than 150 people are now involved in the search for young Yamato Tanooka, who has been missing for two days.  The parents initially told police he had wandered off while they were picking wild vegetables.

Venezuelan prosecutors suspect far-right groups are behind the assassination of a retired military general who was shot down as he was with his five year old granddaughter.  The two suspects have been apprehended.  Venezuelan Interior Minister Gustavo Gonzalez Lopez says the killing might have been an attempt to derail talks between the government and the right wing opposition taking place in the Dominican Republic with Panamanian and Spanish intermediaries. 

Indian police arrested five people in connection with an attack on a group of African university students, who say they were set upon by a mob.  Thousands of young Africans study in India, but they are complaining about increasing harassment and assaults from locals.  One Congolese man was killed in a dispute over a taxi earlier this month.  Authorities are promising a crack down on these hate crimes.

A Chinese detergent is apologizing for the most racist television commercial of all time, after initially claiming that everyone else in the world was too sensitive.  In it, a young Chinese woman is seen stuffing a pod of detergent into the mouth of a Black man and putting him into a washing machine, from which he emerges as a freshly-laundered, light-skinned Chinese guy (wearing entirely too much make-up).  Shanghai Leishang Cosmetics said it strongly opposed and condemned racial discrimination, and was sorry the advert had caused controversy - but also blamed the "foreign media" for stirring up a ruckus.

US Prosecutors charged "Glee" actor Mark Salling with two counts of receiving and possessing images of child sexual abuse, over images found on his computer.  Salling played bad-boy football player Noah "Puck" Puckerman on the hit US show Glee from 2009 to 2015 - but faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
