Insurance coverage isn’t what it used to be when it comes to prescription drugs. Insurance companies’ lists of covered drugs, called formularies, are shrinking. In 2010, the average Medicare formulary covered about three-quarters of all drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration, according to new research by GoodRx, a website that helps patients find discounts on prescription drugs. Now, it’s a little more than half. The GoodRx report is called “The Big Pinch,” because it illustrates how patients are pinched between the drug companies’ high prices and their health insurance companies’ limited drug coverage. GoodRx is an NPR funder.

America’s schools received an unprecedented $190 billion in federal emergency funding during the pandemic. Since then, one big question has loomed over them: Did that historic infusion of federal relief help students make up for the learning they missed? Two new research studies, conducted separately but both released on Wednesday, offer the first answer to that question: Yes, the money made a meaningful difference. But both studies come with context and caveats that, along with that headline finding, require some unpacking.

In a landmark ruling that threatens to unravel Israel's government, the country's Supreme Court has ordered the military to begin drafting ultra-Orthodox men, who've long been exempt from service. Tuesday's decision was unanimous, and comes amid intensified public opposition to the policy following the Hamas-led attack on Israel last year, and the months-long war in Gaza that has strained the military's resources. For years, Israel's Supreme Court has held that the religious exemption violated laws on equal protection. In its new ruling, the court said the state was carrying out “invalid selective enforcement, which represents a serious violation of the rule of law."

The renewed emphasis on enforcement is working, immigration analysts say, but only as a short-term measure. Two weeks after the asylum restrictions kicked in on June 4, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported a 25% decrease in daily encounters along the southern border. In the long run, these policies will not deter irregular immigration, says Adam Isacson, an analyst with the Washington Office on Latin America, a nonpartisan organization based in Washington, D.C. “Every single one of those policies does push the numbers down for a few months, and then they start to recover and come right back,” says Isacson. He says people will continue to attempt to come to the U.S. if the conditions pushing them to leave home - violence, war, poverty- are more horrific than the ones they may have to face on the journey.

At least 1,300 people have died during the hajj pilgrimage, which took place during intense heat, Saudi Arabia has said, adding that most of the deceased did not have official permits. “Regrettably, the number of mortalities reached 1,301, with 83% being unauthorised to perform hajj and having walked long distances under direct sunlight, without adequate shelter or comfort,” the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported. A tally last week, compiled by Agence France-Presse and based on official statements from diplomats, put the toll at more than 1,100. Arab diplomats told AFP that Egyptians accounted for 658 deaths, 630 of them unregistered pilgrims. Riyadh had not publicly commented on the deaths or provided its own toll until Sunday. On Friday, however, a senior Saudi official gave a toll of 577 deaths for the two busiest days of hajj: 15 June, when pilgrims gathered for hours of prayers in the blazing sun on Mount Arafat; and 16 June, when they participated in the “stoning of the devil” ritual in Mina.
The Hajj is a journey of sacrifice that able Muslims are required to take once in their life. But as temperatures around Mecca this past week soared above 115 degrees, people collapsed, hundreds died and many were treated for heat exhaustion. Saudi officials confirmed on Sunday that the death toll had topped 1,300. The Hajj follows a lunar calendar so it will not always occur during such heat. Still, one [study](https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/apme/60/8/JAMC-D-20-0273.1.xml) shows Saudi Arabia is heating up much more quickly than other parts of the Northern Hemisphere. A British imam and Hajj guide with Bilal Tours, Ather Hussain, says everywhere he looked, people were struggling or fainting from the heat. He’s been to Mecca many times, but says this year it was different.
May is typically peak season for buying and selling houses. But fewer existing homes were sold last month** **than in April. And sales were down 2.8% from a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors. A key reason is the elevated mortgage rates across the country. They have made it more expensive to buy a house, pushing some would-be buyers out of the market. In addition, many people who already own homes are reluctant to sell, since that would mean giving up their current, cheaper mortgage.
A senior Canadian federal scientist has alleged that the government shut down an investigation into a mystery brain illness in New Brunswick that he believes may have affected 350 people. He is the second federal scientist to accuse the government of deliberately halting the investigation and to say that the caseload is higher than the government has acknowledged. Health officials in the eastern province [first said in 2021](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/30/mystery-brain-disorder-baffles-canadian-medicine) that 40 people were suffering from an unexplained neurological condition. A year later, a committee assembled by the province determined that the patients probably had been misdiagnosed and were [suffering from other diseases](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/24/canada-new-brunswick-mystery-illness-syndrome).
It’s a typical Tuesday at Seven Hills Family Medicine in Richmond, Va. The team — which consists of Dr. Stephanie Arnold, registered nurse Caci Young and several medical assistants — huddles to prepare for the day. Arnold, a primary care physician, runs through the schedule. The 9 a.m. telemed appointment is for chronic condition management. At 10 a.m. there’s a diabetes follow-up. The 11 a.m. appointment is to go over lab results for potential sleep apnea, then there are appointments for knee pain and one for ADHD results review. The schedulers fit in a walk-in patient who has a suspected yeast infection.
The death toll from this year’s hajj has exceeded 1,000, with more than half of the victims unregistered worshippers who performed the pilgrimage in extreme heat in Saudi Arabia. The new deaths reported on Thursday included 58 from [Egypt](https://www.theguardian.com/world/egypt), according to an Arab diplomat who provided a breakdown showing that of 658 Egyptians who died, 630 were unregistered pilgrims. About 10 countries have reported 1,081 deaths during the pilgrimage, one of the five pillars of [Islam](https://www.theguardian.com/world/islam) which all Muslims with the means must complete at least once. The hajj, whose timing is determined by the lunar Islamic calendar, fell again this year during the oven-like Saudi summer.
The U.S. is experiencing a number of extreme and varied weather events at once, from the prolonged heat wave scorching the Northeast to the deadly wildfires blazing in New Mexico to the tropical storm drenching Texas’ Gulf Coast. The National Weather Service’s [Weather Prediction Center](https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/discussions/hpcdiscussions.php?disc=pmdspd) said that heavy rain and flooding in South Texas will gradually decrease on Thursday as [Tropical Storm Alberto](https://www.npr.org/2024/06/19/nx-s1-5011971/alberto-tropical-storm-texas-mexico) — the first of the Atlantic hurricane season — dissipates over Mexico, where it made landfall in the morning. At the same time, thunderstorms are expected to bring rain and flash flooding across the Northern Plains to the upper Midwest.
Power was nearly fully restored in Ecuador, hours after a nationwide electricity outage left the country of about 18 million in the dark, including the capital’s subway system. Public works minister Roberto Luque said in a post on X that 95% of service had been restored by late Wednesday afternoon. “What happened today is just more proof of the energy crisis we’re dealing with,” he said, ticking off recent problems caused by insufficient power generation that has led to unscheduled service cuts.
Louisiana has become the first state to require that the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom, the latest move from a GOP-dominated Legislature pushing a conservative agenda under a new governor. The legislation that Republican Gov. Jeff Landry signed into law on Wednesday requires a poster-sized display of the Ten Commandments in “large, easily readable font” in all public classrooms, from kindergarten to state-funded universities. Opponents questioned the law’s constitutionality and [vowed to challenge it in court](https://www.wwno.org/politics/2024-06-19/louisiana-will-face-lawsuit-over-ten-commandments-school-displays). Proponents said the the measure is not solely religious, but that it has historical significance. In the language of the law, the Ten Commandments are “foundational documents of our state and national government.”
Nvidia became the world’s most valuable company on Tuesday, overtaking tech heavyweight Microsoft, as its chips continue to play a central role in a race to dominate the market for artificial intelligence. Shares of the chipmaker climbed 3.5% to $135.58, lifting its market capitalization to $3.34tn, just days after [overtaking the iPhone maker Apple](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jun/05/nvidia-stock-tech-market-price-value-3-trillion) to become the second most valuable company. [Nvidia](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/nvidia)’s rise has taken it from a company best known for producing video game chips into a global powerhouse. Its profits have surged amid the tech industry’s immense shift towards artificial intelligence, which has left major companies seeking out Nvidia’s products to serve as a backbone of the technology.
Sarah Ben Hamo has been trying to get the floors of her apartment clean for weeks. They’re normally white, but right now they’re black with soot from all the forest fires that have been burning nearby. “Now, there’s a bit of quiet, maybe a slight respite,” the 58-year-old says. She’ll get some water and soap ready quickly, she says. Fires have been burning across northern Israel, including the areas surrounding Kiryat Shmona — a result of the barrage of rockets that Hezbollah has been shooting over the border from southern Lebanon. The Israeli military intercepts a majority of them, but even those interceptions cause explosions and the sparks and shrapnel rain down on the dry brush and trees that cover the hills.
In California, state of sunshine and palm trees, a small group of men are locked in a big legal fight over the money made by a US company selling Covid tests to the British government. The founder of Innova Medical Group says his business collected $2bn (£1.6bn) in profits, one of the largest fortunes banked by any medical supplier during the scramble for lifesaving equipment in the early months of the pandemic. In a storm of claims and counter-claims, Innova’s boss, Charles Huang, is accused by former associates of “squandering” or moving nullbn of those profits, spending lavishly on luxury aircraft, an $18m house in Los Angeles and “homes for his mistresses”. The previously little-known Chinese-American businessman’s fortune was transformed by the British taxpayer through 11 government contracts worth approximately £4.3bn for lateral flow tests (LFTs) made in China and sold by Innova. The government fast-tracked the company after its British representatives sent a direct email to Dominic Cummings, the chief adviser to the then prime minister, Boris Johnson, in July 2020. And, a Guardian investigation has found, the fast-tracking of Innova was supported by the then chancellor Rishi Sunak’s team at the Treasury.

A missing US tourist has been found dead on a beach on a small Greek island west of Corfu, local media reported. The body of the man was found Sunday on a rocky, fairly remote beach on the island of Mathraki by another tourist. He had been reported missing Thursday by his host, a Greek American friend. The tourist had last been seen Tuesday at a cafe in the company of two female tourists who have since left the island. No further details about the victim, including a name or hometown, were immediately available.
In five short months, new *Washington Post *chief executive and publisher Will Lewis has seeded the senior ranks of the paper’s management with at least five former close colleagues. The most recent is Robert Winnett, who worked with Lewis at two papers in the U.K. and is to start as the top editor over the *Post*’s core newsroom after the November elections. Winnett is the deputy editor of the Telegraph Media Group in Britain. A vast chasm divides common practices in the fiercely competitive confines of British journalism, where Lewis and Winnett made their mark, and what passes muster in the American news media. In several instances, their alleged conduct would raise red flags at major U.S. outlets, including *The Washington Post*.
The international criminal court must be allowed to carry out its work “without intimidation”, a group of 93 states has said in a significant public intervention intended to reinforce support for the judicial body. In a joint statement [issued late on Friday](https://x.com/BelgiumUN/status/1801740915658428920/photo/1), the large group of ICC member states vowed to defend the institution and “preserve its integrity from any political interference and pressure against the court, its officials and those cooperating with it”. The show of unity for the court and its staff comes in the wake of revelations [published by the Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/28/israeli-spy-chief-icc-prosecutor-war-crimes-inquiry) about efforts by Israel and its intelligence agencies to undermine, influence and intimidate the court as part of a [nine-year campaign](https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/28/spying-hacking-intimidation-israel-war-icc-exposed) of surveillance and espionage.
Trump rallies involve a lot of merch – vendors will sometimes set up overnight before a rally, preparing for the huge crowds. There are hats, socks, flags, buttons and, especially, t-shirts. I go to a lot of these rallies. In the middle of it all, I’ve gotten a little obsessed with this one particular shirt. Miranda Barbee bought one in the hours before a Trump rally on the beach in Wildwood, New Jersey, and held it up, reading aloud.
The Princess of Wales has said she is making “good progress” but is “not out of the woods yet” as she announced she intends to attend trooping the colour on Saturday, which would be the first time she has been seen in public since her cancer diagnosis was announced. Sharing that she has “good days and bad days”, she also revealed her treatment would continue for “a few more months”. In a personal written message, released on the couple’s social media accounts, along with a new photograph of her taken in Windsor this week, she said she and the Prince of Wales were “blown away” by kind messages of support.
The U.S. Supreme Court today overturned a federal ban on bump stocks, the devices that can attach to a semi-automatic rifle to make it fire as fast as a machine gun -- potentially hundreds of rounds a minute. Machine guns have been effectively banned for most people since the 1930s, but there have been doubts about whether that ban applies to attachments that can make legal guns shoot as fast as a machine gun. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives determines that, and over the years the agency went back and forth over whether to ban bump stocks. But in 2017, a man using bump stocks committed the deadliest gun massacre in modern American history, killing 60 people and injuring hundreds at a Las Vegas concert. After that mass shooting, many bump stock owners [saw a ban coming](https://www.npr.org/2018/09/26/650454299/the-politics-of-bump-stocks-one-year-after-las-vegas-shooting). The Trump Administration then indeed moved to ban bump stocks, a restriction that took effect in 2019.
A Boeing 737 Max 8 jet experienced a rare but potentially serious problem recently known as a Dutch roll before landing safely.

In the U.S., about 1 out of 6 adults say they practice yoga, according to new survey data published Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 80% are practicing to improve their health, and some 30% are using it to treat and manage pain. “Yoga is a [complementary health approach](https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/complementary-alternative-or-integrative-health-whats-in-a-name) used to promote health and well-being,” says Nazik Elgaddal, an IT specialist at the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics who co-authored [a data brief](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/databriefs/db501.htm) on the topic.” The stretching and strengthening exercise has been shown to [reduce stress](https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/yoga-what-you-need-to-know) and help with some types of neck and back pain.

A federal court has blocked Florida from enforcing a law that bans gender-affirming care, specifically puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy, for transgender minors and restricts it for trans adults. The block also pertains to related rules from the Florida Boards of Medicine. The ruling comes six months after a three-day trial for Doe v. Ladapo in which the court heard testimony from experts in psychiatry, endocrinology, medical ethics, and pediatric medicine.

The United Nations Security Council has endorsed President Biden’s step-by-step plan to end the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. After a 14 to 0 vote on Monday, with Russia abstaining, U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield said the council is sending a clear message to the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
