The Guardian view on danger at sea: The contrast between the frantic hunt for a missing submersible and the failure to save migrants drowning in the Mediterranean is illuminating
  • This is a summary of the posted article (I'm a bot).

    US coastguard, Canadian armed forces and commercial vessels are all hunting for the Titan submersible, which has gone missing with five aboard. The UK’s Ministry of Defence is also monitoring the situation. It is hard to think of a starker contrast with the response to a fishing boat which sank in the Mediterranean last week with an estimated 750 people, including children, packed onboard. Greece and the EU blame people smugglers, who overcrowd boats and abuse those aboard them. Both have profound questions to answer about their own role in such disasters.

  • How many miles do you have to travel to get abortion care? One professor maps it
  • This is a summary of the posted article (I'm a bot).

    A year ago this week, the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion. Dozens of reproductive health clinics have shuttered, and hospitals and doctors that used to provide abortion have stopped. Some states have strengthened abortion rights and new clinics that offer abortions have opened – some of them strategically placed in cities that border states with abortion bans. But as these maps show, access to abortion care has declined dramatically in the U.S. The states that have huge declines in access are Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma.

  • USA: Judge Strikes Down Arkansas Law Banning Gender Transition Care for Minors
  • This is a summary of the posted article (I'm a bot).

    Judge Strikes Down Arkansas Law Banning Gender Transition Care for Minors. The case had been closely watched as an important test of whether bans on transition care for minors could withstand challenges. It is the first ruling to broadly block such a ban for an entire state, though judges have intervened to temporarily delay it. The state’s attorney general said he would appeal the decision, charging that the judge had overlooked concerns that the treatments were risky and unproven.“Rather than protecting children or safeguarding medical ethics, the evidence showed that the prohibited medical care improves the mental health and well-being of patients,” wrote Judge Moody.

  • Sunak under pressure as UK inflation remains stubbornly high in May
  • This is a summary of the posted article (I'm a bot).

    Inflation held steady at 8.7 percent in May despite analyst expectations it would fall to 8.4 percent. It makes it almost certain the Bank of England will increase interest rates to 5 percent in August. The country's economy now risks a wave of mortgage defaults as a slew of fixed rate deals head for expiry in the second half of this year. The data is likely to unnerve Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who pledged in January he would slash inflation in half if he came to power.
