Indonesia has pressed ahead with a search for a navy submarine off Bali, hours after the oxygen supply for 53 crew members aboard is believed to have been exhausted. A U.S. reconnaissance plane and other nations’ vessels are set to join the hunt Saturday. There’s concern the submarine may have sunk too deep to reach or recover in time. It lost contact after its last reported dive Wednesday off the resort island, and the navy chief has said it was expected to run out of oxygen early Saturday morning. The military spokesperson says, “We keep doing the search until we find it and whatever the result." The search is focused on an area where an oil slick was found. 

Southeast Asian leaders are to meet Myanmar’s top general and coup leader in an emergency summit in Indonesia and are expected to press calls for an end to violence by security forces that has left hundreds of protesters dead. There is little hope for an immediate breakthrough in the two-hour gathering in Jakarta between Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing and leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. But his decision to face them offers a rare chance for the 10-nation bloc to directly deal with the general who ousted one of its leaders. One proposal includes a trip to Myanmar by the Brunei prime minister to meet the army leadership and representatives of detained leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

Jacob deGrom struck out a career-high 15, pitched a two-hitter and boosted the Mets' sagging offense with a go-ahead double from the No. 8 spot in the batting order, leading New York over the Washington Nationals 6-0. DeGrom has struck out 43 in his last three starts and 50 overall this season, breaking the major league record for most in a pitcher’s first four starts set just last weekend by Cleveland ace Shane Bieber with 48. DeGrom lowered his career ERA to 2.55 and overtook Tom Seaver's 2.57 as New York’s franchise leader. 

Progressives are looking for their next big win now that the COVID-19 relief bill has been signed into law. Many have declared a Democratic countermeasure to the Georgia election law the No. 1 goal. The Derek Chauvin murder trial has resurrected calls for criminal justice legislation. Some liberals want an immigration overhaul. Others seize on expanding the Supreme Court. This week, the House voted to make the District of Columbia a state. And progressives have their own version of climate and public works spending. It's a reflection that the progressive movement remains scattershot as it tries to turn its growing power into policy achievements.

Minnesota left-hander J.A. Happ pitched no-hit ball until Jacob Stallings doubled with one out in the eighth inning, as the Twins beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0.

Tyler Duffey and Taylor Rogers finished the one-hitter as the Twins won for just the second time in their last 11 games. Willians Astudillo and Jake Cave each hit their first home runs of the season for Minnesota. That spoiled another stellar start by Pittsburgh's JT Brubaker.

But he scored 15 points, including the finishing free throws with 1.6 seconds left, and added 11 assists, nine rebounds and four steals as the Nets finished a season sweep of the Celtics, just the third in their franchise history.

The Cleveland Browns have exercised the fifth-year option on quarterback Baker Mayfield’s rookie contract. The move was expected after his strong 2020 season. The team also did the same with top cornerback Denzel Ward’s contract. Mayfield had 30 touchdown passes last season and led the Browns to their first playoff appearance in nearly 20 years. Cleveland won its first postseason game since 1994, beating the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round before losing to Kansas City. The team had until May 3 to exercise the option. The No. 1 overall draft pick in 2018, Mayfield is under contract for 2021 and 2022.

Ghislaine Maxwell has faced her trial judge in person for the first time as lawyers squabble over exactly when she should be tried on sex trafficking charges alleging that she procured teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein to sexually abuse at his posh residences. Maxwell pleaded not guilty Friday to sex trafficking conspiracy and a sex trafficking charge that were added in a rewritten indictment filed last month in Manhattan federal court. The court proceeding lasted only a few minutes. Her lawyers maintain they need months of additional preparation because of the new charges, making it impossible to keep a July 12 trial date.

President Joe Biden has spoken with Turkey’s president as Biden prepares to move forward with a campaign pledge to formally recognize that atrocities committed against the Armenian people by the Ottoman Empire more than a century ago were genocide. The U.S. and Turkish governments released separate statements on the call but made no mention of Biden's looming decision. The White House says Biden told Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he wants to improve the two countries' relationship and find “effective management of disagreements.” The two also agreed to hold a bilateral meeting at the NATO summit in Brussels in June.
