[UBS to buy Credit Suisse in government-backed dealÂ]( Swiss banking giant UBS on Sunday agreed to [buy rival Credit Suisse]( in a historic deal aiming to restore calm amid a global banking crisis. UBS will pay $3.23 billion to acquire the 167-year-old Credit Suisse, Switzerland's second largest bank. UBS also will assume $5.4 billion in Credit Suisse losses, but the Swiss government, which pushed the deal, will backstop billions in potential losses. Just after the agreement was announced, the U.S. Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, and other major central banks issued statements seeking to ease market panic with assurances that customer deposits remain safe in the wake of the collapse of two regional U.S. banks earlier this month.

[Xi Jinping visits Russia in show of support for Vladimir Putin]( Chinese President Xi Jinping is meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday in a show of support. The trip comes after Putin, who made a surprise visit to the occupied Ukrainian city of Mariupol over the weekend, was indicted by the International Criminal Court for alleged war crimes in Ukraine. Xi's two-day visit is part of a diplomatic push by Beijing to increase its influence on the world stage. "This state visit in the middle of the war shows that Xi Jinping sees the relationship with Russia as absolutely quintessential," Alexander Gabuev of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace told ABC News.

[Republicans, Democrats trade jabs over potential Trump charges]( Republicans and Democrats sparred over the weekend about the possibility that Manhattan prosecutors will [indict former President Donald Trump]( soon in connection with hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) tweeted that charges against Trump would amount to an "outrageous abuse of power by a radical" district attorney. Other leading congressional Republicans called the investigation of Trump politically motivated. Democrats said Republicans are as afraid to denounce Trump now as they were before a mob of his supporters attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said McCarthy is "once again playing the part of criminal defense counsel to shield Trump from accountability."

[Lagos governor re-elected in win for Nigeria's ruling party]( The governor of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, won re-election in a landslide, the Independent National Electoral Commission said Sunday. The result marked a victory for Nigeria's ruling All Progressives Congress party, coming weeks after the opposition came out on top in Lagos, the country's largest city and commercial center, in a disputed presidential election that Bola Tinubu of the APC won overall. With districts accounting for 95 percent of voters counted, the incumbent governor received 736,000 votes. His closest rival, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour of the Labor Party, had 292,000 votes. Powerful governorships were up for grabs in 28 of Nigeria's 36 states, but the Lagos election was the highest-profile race.

[S.C. teen who died near Murdaugh property to be exhumed for private autopsy]( The family of a South Carolina teenager found dead near an estate owned by former lawyer Alex Murdaugh, who was convicted earlier this month in the double murder of his wife and younger son, said they had raised the money to exhume the victim's body and have an independent autopsy. Stephen Smith, a 19-year-old nursing student, was found dead on a rural road in Hampton County, South Carolina, in 2015. He died of blunt force trauma to the head, and investigators initially classified the death as a hit-and-run accident, then changed it to a homicide based on evidence found at the scene. The Murdaughs were named dozens of times by witnesses, but no arrests have ever been made in the case.

[Kazakhstan ruling party strengthens majority in snap elections]( Kazakhstan's ruling Amanat party held onto a firm majority in a snap parliamentary election on Sunday, Reuters reported, citing exit polls. Amanat appeared to have won 53 percent to 54 percent of the vote, securing President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's control after he took power last year. The fresh, stronger mandate is expected to help Tokayev contain regional turmoil stemming from damage to trade and supply chains caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Tokayev formally became president in 2019, but he was overshadowed by his predecessor and former patron Nursultan Nazarbayev until their alliance was broken by an attempted coup in January 2022.

[Avalanche kills Colorado skier]( An avalanche killed a Colorado skier, 36-year-old Joel Shute, and injured two other people over the weekend, authorities said. Shute had been missing since Friday evening, and his body was recovered Saturday afternoon. He had been buried by an avalanche that swept 2,400 feet down a mountainside, covering an area 500 feet wide with several feet of snow and burying Shute under four feet of debris.
