Heroic Father Jumps from Disney Cruise to Save Daughter Who Fell Overboard

A report published in The Lancet medical journal warns that the Trump administration's drastic cuts to U.S. foreign humanitarian aid may result in over 14 million additional deaths by 2030. The research highlights that a third of those at risk are children, emphasizing the potential human toll of slashing funding by 83% at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Davide Rasella, co-author of the report from the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, stated that the consequences for low- and middle-income countries could be catastrophic, likening the impact to that of a global pandemic or significant armed conflict. According to the study, USAID funding is credited with preventing 91 million deaths from 2001 to 2021 through its operations in over 60 countries. The report arrives as global leaders convene in Seville for a significant United Nations-led aid conference aimed at addressing humanitarian issues. Amid these cuts, U.N. officials have reported worsening conditions, with examples of severe malnutrition observed in Kenyan refugee camps.

A 30-year-old woman, Adriana Smith, was removed from life support after giving birth to a premature son, Chance, weighing approximately 1 kg, in Georgia. Smith's case has drawn national attention, particularly following the Supreme Court's 2022 ruling that significantly limited abortion rights across the United States. Smith, a registered nurse, was declared brain-dead after she developed multiple blood clots in her brain while nine weeks pregnant. Local laws in Georgia, known for their strict abortion restrictions, contributed to the decision to maintain Smith on life support until her child could be delivered. Georgia's abortion law bans the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy. Smith's mother stated, "This decision should’ve been left to us," emphasizing the lack of choice regarding Smith's medical situation. The birth occurred on June 13, with Smith being taken off life support on June 17, according to statements from Democratic congresswomen advocating for improved rights for pregnant women. As debates on reproductive rights continue, lawmakers are emphasizing the importance of addressing systemic issues, particularly for Black women affected by restrictive abortion laws.

A sniper ambushed firefighters responding to a fire in the Canfield Mountain area near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, resulting in the deaths of at least two individuals. The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office reported that the attack began shortly after 1:30 PM on Sunday, with gunfire erupting approximately 30 minutes later. Sheriff Bob Norris acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding the number of suspects and additional casualties, emphasizing the ongoing danger as law enforcement faced sniper fire during their response efforts. Idaho Governor Brad Little condemned the attack as a "heinous" act, stating on Facebook that multiple firefighters were targeted in what he described as a direct assault on first responders. He urged Idahoans to pray for the victims and their families. As the situation develops, the fire remains active, and firefighting resources are currently unable to be deployed. A command post established in Cherry Hill dog park has mobilized significant law enforcement presence, including US marshals, as authorities manage the ongoing threat of the active shooter.
