Surviving severe weather, like the July 4th flash floods in central Texas, can leave a lasting emotional impact, and one nonprofit organization is helping survivors heal by giving them a safe space to start processing their trauma.

Just one week after the flash floods in central Texas, Hill Country Mental Health had a new support center up and running.

Dr. Ashlee Miller said they want to meet survivors where they are. They want to help the community with short term coping skills and then look ahead to long term coping skills that can help them get to the healing and recovery that comes later.

With counseling services and care coordination, they're helping the community process big emotions, and sometimes that means giving parents and kids their own spaces.

They've put together a kid-themed room, filled with books, toys and stuffed animals to help put young flood survivors at ease.

"We'll have a clinician come in with the kiddos, check [on] them in their natural environment, playing with them, making sure that their needs are met. And then it provides a safe space for the parent or caregiver to go into another office and just have that quiet time and be able to process what they're really going through without worrying about trying to navigate both," Miller explained.

Foot traffic was slow to start, but as the word got out, the center expanded to include weekend services, and they're making use of two mobile vans to travel to flood impacted areas so survivors who don't have the time or ability to make it to the center can still be helped.

With all the stimulation and noise from the cleanup efforts, Miller said some community members come in because they just need some quiet. "Just because you're walking in here... you don't have to talk. You can just sit in the silence and let us know what you need," she said.

Outside the clinic, the center provides paint for people to leave their handprint on a window mural. It gives survivors, neighbors, friends and volunteers a chance to leave their mark and show their support for the community.

The former high school football player who fatally shot a New York City police officer and three others was carrying a note in his wallet expressing concern that he was suffering from a brain disease linked to the sport.

The three-page note, according to a source with the New York Police Department, included an apology and indicated that the suspect, Shane Tamura, hoped investigators would study his brain for signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.

Police said Tamura shot himself in the chest after shooting five people one of whom survived at a Manhattan office building that houses NFL offices.

The NFL confirmed that one of its employees was wounded in the attack.

One of our employees was seriously injured in this attack, said Roger Goodell, the NFL Commissioner, in a statement. NFL staff are at the hospital and we are supporting his family. We believe that all of our employees are otherwise safe and accounted for.

While investigators examine the accused shooters motives, a former coach who knew Tamura as a high school football player said he was a great athlete.

He was one of our better players. He was athletically gifted. Hardworking. Quiet demeanor, real humble about himself, said Walter Roby, who worked as a coach at Granada Hills Charter High School in California during the time Tamura played as a running back.

For me, it was like he was very coachable, said Roby. You could ask him to do something. He would respond positively. He never gave an issue or never had a problem in that realm at all.

Roby said he and his son recently had been reminiscing about the top players Roby had encountered during his career.

His name popped up. (We were) saying, oh yeah, Shane definitely has to be in that category because Shane would you know his elusiveness, the way he was able to cut on a dime, things of that nature," Roby said. "We were just going over and over it. And here it is two weeks later, this. As I always say, I dont believe in coincidences, so was this put on my heart? Was this put on my prayers?

Roby said he was completely shocked to learn the news about his former player.

I went to bed just shocked all night long. Its just been a whirlwind of shock, he said. Roby said he could not remember any head injuries Tamura may have suffered, but he did say CTE is an important topic.

I think that CTE is definitely very prevalent. Its very a part of whats happening in society that should be studied deeply, he said.

Numerous former NFL players have been diagnosed with CTE after their deaths. The disease is thought to be linked to repeated blows to the head and has also been connected by researchers with other contact sports and military service.

Scripps News obtained records showing Tamura, in 2023, had a run-in with Las Vegas Metropolitan police officers after an incident at a casino. According to a court record, police said Tamura was refusing to show his identification when trying to collect thousands of dollars in winnings, but he was also refusing to leave the building without collecting those winnings. Court records indicate the district attorney denied charging the case.

Tea, a dating discussion app that recently suffered a high-profile cybersecurity breach, announced late Monday that some direct messages were also accessed in the incident.

The app designed to let women safely discuss men they date rocketed to the top of the U.S. Apple App Store last week but then confirmed on Friday that thousands of selfies and photo IDs of registered users were exposed in a digital security breach.

404 Media was the first to report on this second security issue, citing an independent security researcher who found it was possible for hackers to access messages between users discussing abortions, cheating partners, and phone numbers.

In a statement posted on its social media accounts, Tea said it "recently learned that some direct messages (DMs) were accessed as part of the initial incident."

RELATED STORY | Tea, an app for women to safely talk about men they date, has been breached, user IDs exposed

"Out of an abundance of caution, we have taken the affected system offline," the app said. "At this time, we have found no evidence of access to other parts of our environment."

It is currently unknown how many messages were left exposed by the vulnerability. Tea said it is "working to identify any users whose personal information was involved and will be offering free identity protection services to those individuals." The company said Tuesday it will share more information as it becomes available.

Because of the nature of the app which allows women to anonymously discuss sensitive information about the men they date users may be particularly vulnerable to malicious actors who try to expose their real-life identities.

Mary Ann Miller, vice president of client experience at identity verification company Prove, said the women who may have had their information compromised should consider making sure they have real-life security precautions in place such as cameras, locks and "common sense things that you and I think about to be safe and secure in our own home."

"The average citizen puts more out there in a public-facing view that can put their safety at risk. And I think it's time for all of us to think about that more carefully," she said. Companies, meanwhile, "should look for technology that utilizes other forms (besides) IDs to verify an identity" and only store essential data and discard, securely, verification data that's no longer needed once a person is verified.

Tea has said about 72,000 images were leaked online in the initial incident, including 13,000 images of selfies or selfies featuring a photo identification that users submitted during account verification. Another 59,000 images publicly viewable in the app from posts, comments and direct messages were also accessed without authorization, a spokesperson said last week.

No email addresses or phone numbers were accessed, the company said, and the breach only affects users who signed up before February 2024.

When Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell announces the bank's interest rate decision on Wednesday, he will be carrying out one of the Federal Reserve's key functions one that is part of a larger mission to help oversee the countrys monetary policy.

So, what exactly is the Federal Reserve? Known simply as the "Fed," it serves as the central bank for the U.S.

"Being a central bank means that it has a few functions, the main one being that it's in charge of what we in economics say is the monetary and credit systems here in the United States," said Thomas Stockwell, Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Tampa.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | Trump visits Federal Reserve amid criticism of Powell, renovation costs

The Fed performs several essential functions, with the most well-known being its influence on the country's monetary policy. Its goal? Keeping employment high and inflation stable.

This is primarily achieved by determining the federal funds rate, commonly referred to as the Fed's interest rate. This rate dictates how much banks borrow from each other and ultimately influences what consumers pay on various loans, from home mortgages to credit cards.

"If you put upward pressure on the federal funds, all of other interest rates are going to go up with it, including the mortgage rate, the interest rates you pay in your car, whatever interest rate, they're all going to move in the same direction," Stockwell explained.

A significant responsibility, the federal funds rate is determined by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). This body is made up of seven Fed governors appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate, along with five of the twelve regional Fed bank presidents. Their work is overseen by the Fed Chair who is also nominated by the president.

"Being chairman of the Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful positions on the planet," Stockwell noted. "And you can honestly maybe even argue right up there with the president of the United States."

The Federal Reserve maintains frequent communications with the executive branch and congressional lawmakers. However, it was designed to make decisions independently to ensure that fiscal policy isn't influenced by politics.

A pair of FDA-approved cancer drugs may help reverse the biological changes that drive Alzheimers disease, according to a new study from researchers at UC San Francisco and the Gladstone Institute. The findings could mark a significant step forward in treating a condition that affects more than 7 million people in the U.S.

Despite decades of research, only two drugs have been FDA-approved to treat Alzheimers, and neither meaningfully slows the diseases relentless cognitive decline. Thats why this new study took a novel approach: using data science to search for untapped potential in medicines already on the market.

We started with 1,300 drugs a lot were cancer drugs, but we didnt have a hypothesis like that. This was entirely data-driven. And it was a bit of a surprise, said Marina Sirota, a professor at UCSF and interim director of the Baker Computational Health Sciences Institute.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT | FDA gives green light to new blood test that screens for Alzheimer's

Dr. Yaqiao Li, a former UCSF graduate student in Sirotas lab and now a postdoctoral scholar at the Gladstone Institute, led the research in hopes of identifying a solution for patients to restore their brain function impacted by the disease. Their team tapped into the Connectivity Map, a large-scale drug database, to analyze how existing compounds impact the brain on a molecular level.

It turned out that two cancer drugs stood out: letrozole, which is used to treat breast cancer, and irinotecan, which is typically used by colon and lung cancer patients. When the researchers tested a combination of the two drugs in a mouse model of Alzheimers, it slowed down brain generation and even restored their ability to remember.

These are FDA-approved drugs. And we have human evidence that cancer patients who have taken these drugs have a lower risk of developing Alzheimers, said Dr. Li. This gives me a lot more confidence that this could be very promising.

Developing a brand-new Alzheimers drug from scratch can cost millions and take more than a decade. But because the drugs in this study are already FDA-approved just for a different condition the path to clinical trials and eventual use for Alzheimers could be much shorter. The researchers tell Scripps News they are currently fundraising to begin a human clinical trial, where they note significant side effects will need to be considered.

The FDA recently approved donanemab, an Alzheimers drug from Eli Lilly, but many pharmaceutical companies have abandoned similar projects after unsuccessful trials. That makes the possibility of repurposing existing drugs, with known safety profiles, especially appealing.

The findings from this study indicate potential success in repurposing for other complex diseases, like endometriosis, which Sirota says they are currently working on in their lab.

I just want to encourage future researchers, Dr. Li said, This could be a very interesting, promising new way of doing drug discovery.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted British socialite and longtime associate of the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, has agreed to testify before Congress but outlined several demands that must be met first.

Maxwell was subpoenaed by House Oversight Chair James Comer to testify before Congress next month. However, in a letter obtained by Scripps News, Maxwell's attorneys told the committee that their client "would like to find a way to cooperate with Congress if a fair and safe path forward can be established," while listing various conditions that would need to be addressed.

"Ms. Maxwell cannot risk further criminal exposure in a politically charged environment without formal immunity," the letter states, calling it a nonstarter. "Nor is a prison setting conducive to eliciting truthful and complete testimony."

Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her 2021 sex trafficking conviction, also demanded that any testimony would need to take place outside the Florida correction facility where she is currently detained and questions from the committee must be made available in advance.

"To prepare adequately for any congressional depositionand to ensure accuracy and fairnesswe would require the Committee's question in advance," Maxwell's attorneys wrote. "This is essential not only to allow for meaningful preparation, but also to identify the relevant documentation from millions of pages that could corroborate her responses. Years after the original events and well beyond the criminal trial, this process cannot become a game of cat-and-mouse. Surprise questioning would be both inappropriate and unproductive."

Lastly, the letter states that Maxwell is requesting that any appearance be scheduled only after the resolution of her Supreme Court petition to have her conviction thrown out. Alternatively, Maxwell's lawyers say she would be willing to testify "openly and honestly" if President Donald Trump were to grant her clemency.

"We remain open to working with the Committee to find a path forward that respects her constitutional rights and enables her to assist the American people and the Committee in its important oversight mission," the letter concludes.

President Trump acknowledged on Monday that he does have the power to pardon Maxwell. However, he refused to say whether that's something he's considering.

An Oversight Committee spokeswoman said the committee will issue a response to the letter "soon," but denied the possibility of granting her congressional immunity for her testimony."

Maxwell's case has gained renewed attention recently, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch meeting last week with her attorney as the Trump administration faces growing pressure to be more transparent about the federal investigation into Epstein, a convicted sex offender. Supporters of the president have long called for the release of the so-called Epstein files, which the administration has promised to disclose.

Earlier this month, however, the Justice Department and FBI released a joint memo stating that a review of the Epstein case found no incriminating client list.

After the backlash, President Trump called on the attorney general to seek grand jury testimony. Days later, Blanche announced that he would meet with Maxwell.

It remains unclear what resulted from the meeting. Maxwells attorney said she answered every question asked but noted that a presidential pardon was not discussed.

Police officials will hold a news conference at 3:00 p.m. to address the case.

When Amrita Bhasin, 24, learned that products from South Korea might be subject to a new tax when they entered the United States, she decided to stock up on the sheet masks from Korean brands like U-Need and MediHeal she uses a few times a week.

"I did a recent haul to stockpile," she said. "I bought 50 in bulk, which should last me a few months."

South Korea is one of the countries that hopes to secure a trade deal before the Aug. 1 date President Donald Trump set for enforcing nation-specific tariffs. A not-insignificant slice of the U.S. population has skin in the game when it comes to Seoul avoiding a 25% duty on its exports.

Asian skin care has been a booming global business for more than a decade, with consumers in Europe, North and South America, and increasingly the Middle East, snapping up creams, serums and balms from South Korea, Japan and China.

In the United States and elsewhere, Korean cosmetics, or K-beauty for short, have dominated the trend. A craze for all-in-one "BB creams" a combination of moisturizer, foundation and sunscreen morphed into a fascination with 10-step rituals and ingredients like snail mucin, heartleaf and rice water.

Vehicles and electronics may be South Korea's top exports to the U.S. by value, but the country shipped more skin care and cosmetics to the U.S. than any other last year, according to data from market research company Euromonitor. France, with storied beauty brands like L'Oreal and Chanel, was second, Euromonitor said.

Statistics compiled by the U.S. International Trade Commission, an independent federal agency, show the U.S. imported $1.7 billion worth of South Korean cosmetics in 2024, a 54% increase from a year earlier.

"Korean beauty products not only add a lot of variety and choice for Americans, they really embraced them because they were offering something different for American consumers," Mary Lovely, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, said.

Along with media offerings such as "Parasite" and "Squid Games," and the popularity of K-pop bands like BTS, K-beauty has helped boost South Korea's profile globally, she said.

"It's all part and parcel really of the same thing," Lovely said. "And it can't be completely stopped by a 25% tariff, but it's hard to see how it won't influence how much is sold in the U.S. And I think what we're hearing from producers is that it also really decreases the number of products they want to offer in this market."

Senti Senti, a retailer that sells international beauty products at two New York boutiques and through an e-commerce site, saw a bit of "panic buying" by customers when Trump first imposed punitive tariffs on goods from specific countries, manager Winnie Zhong said.

The rush slowed down after the president paused the new duties for 90 days and hasn't picked up again, Zhong said, even with Trump saying on July 7 that a 25% tax on imports from Japan and South Korea would go into effect on Aug. 1.

Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia subsequently reached agreements with the Trump administration that lowered the tariff rates their exported goods faced in Japan's case, from 25% to 15% still higher than the current baseline of 10% tariff.

But South Korea has yet to clinch an agreement, despite having a free trade agreement since 2012 that allowed cosmetics and most other consumer goods to enter the U.S. tax-free.

Since the first store owned by Senti Senti opened 16 years ago, beauty products from Japan and South Korea became more of a focus and now account for 90% of the stock. The business hasn't had to pass on any tariff-related costs to customers yet, but that won't be possible if the products are subject to a 25% import tax, Zhong said.

"I'm not really sure where the direction of K-beauty will go to with the tariffs in place, because one of the things with K-beauty or Asian beauty is that it's supposed to be accessible pricing," she said.

Devoted fans of Asian cosmetics will often buy direct from Asia and wait weeks for their packages to arrive because the products typically cost less than they do in American stores. Rather than stocking up on their favorite sunscreens, lip tints and toners, some shoppers are taking a pause due to the tariff uncertainty.

Los Angeles resident Jen Chae, a content creator with over 1.2 million YouTube subscribers, has explored Korean and Japanese beauty products and became personally intrigued by Chinese beauty brands over the last year.

When the tariffs were first announced, Chae temporarily paused ordering from sites such as YesStyle.com, a shopping platform owned by an e-commerce company based in Hong Kong. She did not know if she would have to pay customs duties on the products she bought or the ones brands sent to her as a creator.

"I wasn't sure if those would automatically charge the entire package with a blanket tariff cost, or if it was just on certain items," Chae said. On its website, YesStyle says it will give customers store credit to reimburse them for import charges.

At Ohlolly, an online store focused on Korean products, owners Sue Greene and Herra Namhie are taking a similar pause.

They purchase direct from South Korea and from licensed wholesalers in the U.S., and store their inventory in a warehouse in Ontario, California. After years of no duties, a 25% import tax would create a "huge increase in costs to us," Namhie said.

She and Greene made two recent orders to replenish their stock when the tariffs were at 10%. But they have put further restocks on hold "because I don't think we can handle 25%," Namhie said. They'd have to raise prices, and then shoppers might go elsewhere.

The business owners and sisters are holding out on hope the U.S. and Korea settle on a lower tariff or carve out exceptions for smaller ticket items like beauty products. But they only have two to four months of inventory in their warehouse. They say that in a month they'll have to make a decision on what products to order, what to discontinue and what prices will have to increase.

Rachel Weingarten, a former makeup artist who writes a daily beauty newsletter called "Hello Gorgeous!," said while she's devoted to K-beauty products like lip masks and toner pads, she doesn't think stockpiling is a sound practice.

"Maybe one or two products, but natural oils, vulnerable packaging and expiration dates mean that your products could go rancid before you can get to them," she said.

Weingarten said she'll still buy Korean products if prices go up, but that the beauty world is bigger than one country. "I'd still indulge in my favorites, but am always looking for great products in general," she said.

Bhasin, in Menlo Park, California, plans to keep buying her face masks too, even if the price goes up, because she likes the quality of Korean masks.

"If prices will go up, I will not shift to U.S. products," she said. "For face masks, I feel there are not a ton of solid and reliable substitutes in the U.S."

Nearly two dozen states and the District of Columbia are suing the Trump administration over a new federal law that strips Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood and similar health centers.

The law, part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed by President Trump in July, bars federal reimbursements for any services at providers that offer abortions.

States including New York, California, Pennsylvania and Minnesota argue the provision is unconstitutional and say it will harm residents who rely on Planned Parenthood for essential care like cancer screenings and STI treatment.

The lawsuit contends the law will lead to delayed diagnoses of cancer and STIs and increased unintended pregnancies, which will result not only in widespread and devastating effects on the health of vulnerable residents of the Plaintiff States, but also in increased costs to the Plaintiff States Medicaid programs, which fund care for those individuals.

The lawsuit seeks to block enforcement of the provision while the case is heard and ultimately asks the court to declare the measure unconstitutional.

The Trump administration has not responded to the lawsuit.

Planned Parenthood has also sued the federal government on similar grounds. On Monday, a federal judge ruled that Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood clinics must continue while that case proceeds.

For the first time in three years, camping rates at some of Michigan's most popular sites are going up.

The increase will be between $4 and $10 a night at modern and semi-modern state park campsites depending on the location and amenities. Fees for rustic state parks and forest campgrounds will not increase.

Fees for intermittent camping and equipment storage will also change, the Department of Nature Resources said.

Here are the new rates:

State park modern and semi-modern campsites will increase between $4 and $10 per night (ie. $26 to $45 per night), depending on the location and available amenities, such as electrical 50-amp electrical and full hookup. State park overnight lodging rates will be changed to a more simplified rate structure. The rates will range from $60 to $120 per night; deluxe lodging will be $160 per night. Modern lodges (ie. bedrooms, fully furnished, full bathroom, etc.) will undergo a phased rate increase over the next two years. This will result in a nightly base rate of $236 per night for all locations by 2027. Some rates may vary due to higher occupancy. The DNR will also establish fees for intermittent camping and equipment storage.

The DNR says the price hike reflects an increase demand for campers and will help with long-term sustainability. The DNR said the increased revenue will enhance visitor experience, upgrade amenities and help parks stay clean.

The new rates for overnight stays will start Aug. 1. The Michigan State Park Advisory Committee supported the fee adjustment on Aug. 7, 2024, the DNR said.

More information about the rate changes can be found on the DNRs website.

A risky landing system first exposed by the 7 Investigators is being used yet again at Detroit Metro Airport, and sources tell WXYZ that Air Traffic Controllers were instructed to use it during Mondays severe weather at DTW.

The 7 Investigators revealed in December that the U.S. Special Counsel sent a report to the president and to Congress about the issues with the Yankee Offset Localizer (ILS-Y) approach at Detroit Metro Airport.

In a press release at the time, Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger said, the approach at issue may create a danger for landing aircraft and the flying public.

Watch below: US Special Counsel: Metro Airport landing approach may create 'danger for landing aircraft and flying public'

Federal watchdog questions safety at DTW

Despite that, documents obtained by the 7 Investigators show that Detroit Metro Airports FAA management is using the ILS-Y while one of the airports runways is under construction for the next month.

The document states, Y approach will be in use for this project in all weather conditions, unless the forecast to drop below approach below minimums.

Watch below: 2022 report on DTW still using ILS-Y system

Detroit Metro Airport still using controversial landing system; new federal probe underway

At DTW, the planes on the western-most runway must approach at an angle, using the Instrument Landing System (ILS) Yankee Off Set Localizer. Its an antenna system, but air traffic controllers say its placement at DTW results in the signal getting interrupted, especially when other planes taxi right in front of it.

Air traffic control sources tell the 7 Investigators that the ILS-Y was used starting Monday, including during severe weather that overwhelmed the airport and Romulus.

It had not previously been used in many months after scrutiny from the U.S. Special Counsel.

The new memo also instructs controllers to work more than one position for the approach, something veteran controllers say is risky and allegedly was an issue during the horrific mid-air collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) that killed 67 people in January.

Whistleblower speaks out again about unsafe DTW landing system that's still being used

The 7 Investigators reached out to Rep. Debbie Dingell after learning that Metro Airport was scheduled to use the Yankee Off Set Localizer starting July 28, 2025.

Dingell had sent a letter to the FAA in December, asking for more information about the practice.

On Tuesday, Dingell sent another letter to FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford requesting answers about serious safety concerns surrounding the use of the Instrument Landing System Yankee approach at DTW. Dingells letter from December went unanswered.

I'm going to call the Chair of the Transportation Committee. I'm going to do everything I can to raise attention. I did talk to the DOT Secretary a couple of months ago, and he knows that one of the first unfortunate accidents that happened after he got sworn in was Reagan, and he knows what we've got to get. We have to get the money to update the equipment in FAA towers. And I'm going to call upon my Republican and Democratic colleagues that we can't play political games with this. We have make flying safe in this country, Dingell told 7 Investigator Heather Catallo.

Watch below: Its a safety issue. Questions raised about GPS-based landing systems at US airports following 7 Investigators' report

Its a safety issue. Questions raised about GPS-based landing systems at US airports following 7 Investigators' report

The 7 Investigators reached out to the FAA about the new use of the ILS-Y, and they sent us this statement:

The FAA is reviewing data and safety assessments of the ILS-Y approach at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW). We continue to engage directly with stakeholders and remain committed to the safety of the flying public at DTW and across the National Airspace System, and implement mitigations as needed. Should further safety enhancements be identified, we will take prompt action.

Dingell also called for the FAA to take action on the system at DTW.

"I urge you to suspend use of the ILS-Y approach at DTW until these issues are fully addressed, and to provide a comprehensive update on the steps FAA will take to ensure that this system operates with the highest safety standards," her letter to the FAA reads.

The U.K. will recognize a Palestinian state in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza, allows the U.N. to bring in aid and takes other steps toward long-term peace, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Tuesday.

Starmer called ministers together for a rare summertime Cabinet meeting to discuss the situation in Gaza.

He told them that Britain will recognize a state of Palestine before the United Nations General Assembly, unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, reaches a ceasefire, makes clear there will be no annexation in the West Bank, and commits to a long-term peace process that delivers a two state solution."

He also said Hamas must release all the hostages it holds, agree to a ceasefire, accept that they will play no part in the government of Gaza, and commit to disarmament.

Starmer said in a televised statement that his government will assess in September how far the parties have met these steps before making a final decision on recognition.

Britain has long supported the idea of an independent Palestinian state existing alongside Israel, but has said recognition should come as part of a negotiated two-state solution to the conflict.

Pressure to formally recognize Palestinian statehood has mounted since French President Emmanuel Macron announced that his country will become the first major Western power to recognize a Palestinian state in September.

More than 250 of the 650 lawmakers in the House of Commons have signed a letter urging the government to recognize a Palestinian state.

Starmer said that despite the set of conditions he set out, Britain believes that statehood is the inalienable right of the Palestinian people.

The Food and Drug Administration is considering adding warning labels to antidepressants for women who are pregnant, despite medical consensus that these medications are safe.

The agency convened an advisory panel on July 21 that included six professors from various universities, a psychiatrist from a clinic that speciailizes in getting patients off of psychiatric medications, a clinical psychologist, the chief of maternal-fetal medicine at MetroWest Medical Center in Massachusetts and the founder and CEO of Data Based Medicine in North Wales, which operates a website where patients directly report the effects of drugs.

Most of the members of the panel have a longstanding history of being outspoken against the use of psychiatric medications.

"From a national standpoint, the more antidepressants we prescribe, the more depression there is," said FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary without providing evidence for that claim.

RELATED STORY | Mental health of mothers has sharply declined, study says

He said the panel was brought together because it believes serotonin may play "a crucial role in the development of organs of a baby in utero," and that they believe other methods of depression treatment, such as "healthy relationships" and "natural light exposure" should be explored.

"And one of the unique issues in pregnancy is sometimes you don't know that you're pregnant in the first trimester of pregnancy, and it takes time to wean off some of these antidepressants like SSRIs," Makary added.

SSRIs, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, are a class of drugs that are some of the most commonly used antidepressants, such as Zoloft, Lexapro and Prozac.

The advisory panel proposed warning labels over concerns about potential risks of autism, miscarriage and birth defects that they claim are tied to the use of SSRIs during pregnancy.

RELATED STORY | US has highest rate of maternal deaths among all wealthy nations

According to Johns Hopkins, antidepressants are not known to cause birth defects. However, about 30% of babies born to mothers taking antidepressants develop a condition called neonatal adaptation syndrome, which can cause jitteriness, irritability and difficulty breathing.

The advisory panel's proposal has fierce opposition from other medical experts in the field of maternal health, with some arguing that the proposed warning labels are misinformed and disregard the serious risks of untreated depression in mothers.

[The] FDA panel on SSRIs and pregnancy was alarmingly unbalanced and did not adequately acknowledge the harms of untreated perinatal mood disorders in pregnancy," said Dr. Steven Fleischman, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. "On a panel of 10 experts, only one spoke to the importance of SSRIs in pregnancy as a critical tool, among others, in preventing the potentially devastating effects of anxiety and depression when left untreated during pregnancy."

Mental health conditions are the most frequent cause of pregnancy-related death, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"Unfortunately, the many outlandish and unfounded claims made by the panelists regarding SSRIs will only serve to incite fear and cause patients to come to false conclusions that could prevent them from getting the treatment they need," Fleischman said.

The Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Women's Mental Health had a similar reaction to the panel's suggestion of a warning label.

"Only one of the ten panelists was a clinician an obstetrician and psychiatrist who treats women with psychiatric disorders during pregnancy," the center said on its website. "However, more concerning than the voice of a single individual who shares an opinion about a subject that affects so many, is when an organization such as the FDA represents such an unbalanced view to the public as evidence; that is when patients are put at risk."

Two children were killed and two more are in critical condition after a barge struck and sunk their boat, sending them overboard during a sailing camp in Miami on Monday, authorities said.

All six people on the sailing boat were pulled from the water by responders, and four kids were rushed to a nearby hospital where two were pronounced dead upon arrival, said Petty Officer 3rd Class Nicholas Strasburg, a spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard.

Two of the six who were rescued were in good condition, Strasburg said.

The six one adult and five kids were in their last week of the sailing camp for children aged 7 to 15, according to the Miami Yacht Club.

The entire MYC family is devastated by this terrible tragedy, said Emily Copeland, the commodore of the yacht club, in a statement.

The sailing boat remained submerged beneath the barge in Biscayne Bay a body of water sandwiched between Miami and Miami Beach where there are several small islands, including Star Island, peppered with ritzy mansions.

Across the U.S. last year, there were over 550 deaths in recreational boating, but only a sliver of those 43 were caused by vessels crashing into each other, according to Coast Guard statistics.

The Coast Guard will conduct a thorough investigation, said Capt. Frank Florio, who heads the Coast Guards Miami sector, in a statement. We remain steadfast in our commitment to accountability, improvement, and the shared responsibility of ensuring safety at sea."

Local television stations showed first responders, some in scuba diving gear, in boats around what appears to be a barge. The Coast Guard is investigating the crash.

President Donald Trump's administration on Tuesday proposed revoking a scientific finding that has long been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

The proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule would rescind a 2009 declaration that determined that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases endanger public health and welfare.

The "endangerment finding" is the legal underpinning of a host of climate regulations under the Clean Air Act for motor vehicles, power plants and other pollution sources that are heating the planet.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the proposed rule change on a podcast ahead of an official announcement set for Tuesday in Indiana.

Repealing the endangerment finding "will be the largest deregulatory action in the history of America," Zeldin said on the Ruthless podcast.

"There are people who, in the name of climate change, are willing to bankrupt the country," Zeldin said. "They created this endangerment finding and then they are able to put all these regulations on vehicles, on airplanes, on stationary sources, to basically regulate out of existence, in many cases, a lot of segments of our economy. And it cost Americans a lot of money."

The EPA proposal must go through a lengthy review process, including public comment, before it is finalized, likely next year. Environmental groups are likely to challenge the rule change in court.

Zeldin called for a rewrite of the endangerment finding in March as part of a series of environmental rollbacks announced at the same time in what he said was "the greatest day of deregulation in American history.'' A total of 31 key environmental rules on topics from clean air to clean water and climate change would be rolled back or repealed under Zeldin's plan.

He singled out the endangerment finding as "the Holy Grail of the climate change religion" and said he was thrilled to end it "as the EPA does its part to usher in the Golden Age of American success.''

Tailpipe emission limits also targeted

The EPA also is expected to call for rescinding limits on tailpipe emissions that were designed to encourage automakers to build and sell more electric vehicles. The transportation sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.

Environmental groups said Zeldin's action denies reality as weather disasters exacerbated by climate change continue in the U.S. and around the world.

"As Americans reel from deadly floods and heat waves, the Trump administration is trying to argue that the emissions turbocharging these disasters are not a threat,'' said Christy Goldfuss, executive director of the Natural Resources Defense Council. "It boggles the mind and endangers the nation's safety and welfare."

Under Zeldin and Trump, "the EPA wants to shirk its responsibility to protect us from climate pollution, but science and the law say otherwise,'' she added. "If EPA finalizes this illegal and cynical approach, we will see them in court."

Three former EPA leaders have also criticized Zeldin, saying his March announcement targeting the endangerment finding and other rules imperiled the lives of millions of Americans and abandoned the agency's dual mission to protect the environment and human health.

"If there's an endangerment finding to be found anywhere, it should be found on this administration because what they're doing is so contrary to what the Environmental Protection Agency is about," Christine Todd Whitman, who led EPA under Republican President George W. Bush, said after Zeldin's plan was made public.

The EPA proposal follows an executive order from Trump that directed the agency to submit a report "on the legality and continuing applicability" of the endangerment finding.

Conservatives and some congressional Republicans hailed the initial plan, calling it a way to undo economically damaging rules to regulate greenhouse gases.

But environmental groups, legal experts and Democrats said any attempt to repeal or roll back the endangerment finding would be an uphill task with slim chance of success. The finding came two years after a 2007 Supreme Court ruling holding that the EPA has authority to regulate greenhouse gases as air pollutants under the Clean Air Act.

Passing court muster could be an issue

David Doniger, a climate expert at the NRDC, accused Trump's Republican administration of using potential repeal of the endangerment finding as a "kill shot'' that would allow him to make all climate regulations invalid. If finalized, repeal of the endangerment finding would erase current limits on greenhouse gas pollution from cars, factories, power plants and other sources and could prevent future administrations from proposing rules to tackle climate change.

"The Endangerment Finding is the legal foundation that underpins vital protections for millions of people from the severe threats of climate change, and the Clean Car and Truck Standards are among the most important and effective protections to address the largest U.S. source of climate-causing pollution,'' said Peter Zalzal, associate vice president of the Environmental Defense Fund.

"Attacking these safeguards is manifestly inconsistent with EPA's responsibility to protect Americans' health and well-being,'' he said. "It is callous, dangerous and a breach of our government's responsibility to protect the American people from this devastating pollution."

Conrad Schneider, a senior director at the Clean Air Task Force, said the Trump administration "is using pollution regulations as a scapegoat in its flawed approach to energy affordability" and reliability.

He and other advocates "are dismayed that an administration that claims it cares about cleaner, healthier and safer air is seeking to dismantle the very protections that are required for those conditions," Schneider said.

A new proposal has emerged on Capitol Hill that may remind you about the COVID-19 stimulus checks from a few years ago. This time, it is rooted in the significant revenue generated by President Donald Trump's tariffs rather than a global health emergency.

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri has introduced the American Worker Rebate Act, advocating for a share of the record tariff revenue to go directly to the American people.

In June, the federal government reported a record $27 billion generated from tariffs, a stark increase from the $4 billion collected during the same time last year. Hawley, meanwhile, thinks the American people deserve a cut.

His proposal suggests that $600 per adult and child should be deposited by the Treasury Department into qualifying bank accounts. To be eligible, individuals must earn under $75,000 per year, and couples filing jointly must make under $150,000.

Those with higher incomes would receive a reduced payout. The amount, however, could potentially rise if tariff revenues continue to soar.

Currently, the legislation is still in its introductory phase, and with the House of Representatives out of session until early September, formal action is not anticipated anytime soon.

While some fiscal conservatives argue that the newfound tariff revenue should be directed towards paying down the national debt or funding President Trump's "one big, beautiful bill," the administration has shown some interest in providing rebate checks.

It's essential to keep in mind that many economists warn the impact of tariffs could be felt by consumers through increased prices on imported goods. Although inflation ticked up slightly in June, it does still remain below 3%.

Threatening notes were discovered on a Frontier flight from Seattle to Denver on Monday, but authorities later found no credible threat, the airline told Scripps News.

Frontier crew members discovered the two notes during the flight, prompting a response from law enforcement when the plane landed.

The airport described the incident as a bomb threat in a statement to Scripps News. FBI Denver confirmed it was investigating but said nothing concerning was found.

Passengers were ultimately allowed to deplane without any issues. They were transported by bus to the terminal while authorities conducted a security sweep of the aircraft.

It's unclear who wrote the notes or how long they had been on he plane.

On Good Morning America, Perry, who is a married father of three, talked about the ordeal.

"I didn't think of anything other than trying to get him away from people and get him isolated and get him to put the knife down and just to kind of focus on me instead of everyone that was yelling and screaming in the background," Perry said to GMA.

The victims in the stabbing ranged in age from 29 to 84, and Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea said it appears it was a random act.

Perry told GMA he was checking out at the store when he heard a commotion.

"A lady was screaming for her son, and all the employees and patrons were clamoring, trying to run in different directions," Perry said.

Gille ran outside to the parking lot, where he was later surrounded by Perry and others.

"Unfortunately, it was kind of a mob mentality and some very disturbing things were being said about how to deal with the situation. I had to block all that out and focus on him, because I ultimately wanted him to put the knife down and back away until law enforcement got there," Perry said. "I did not see myself as any judge, jury or executioner. I just wanted everyone to be safe."

GMA asked Perry if the suspect said anything to him.

"I can see in his eyes that he was wild-eyed and he did not look in his right mind. He was saying, 'they told me to do it. They told me to do it. Call 911,'" Perry said.

Perry told GMA that he never actually considered pulling the trigger.

"I took time to actually look, and listen, and try to understand his mind state, and see that, yes I am in a position to do something very rash, but ultimately, my decision to not do it as well. Just de-escalate the situation, try to get him to surrender on his own accord," Perry said.

"I think I would've ran out there or walked out there either way. It was just a moment of, I've got a duty to protect," Perry said.
