As people age, more are prioritizing their health and fitness, but it’s a well-known fact that staying in shape becomes more challenging with time. Recent research has shown that the natural changes in cells as we age can contribute to an increase in belly fat, with factors like stress and sleep disturbances making the problem worse, leading to further weight gain. “Many people experience a loss of muscle mass while gaining body fat as they get older, even if their overall weight stays the same,” said Qiong (Annabel) Wang, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Molecular & Cellular…

Trump Downplays Recession Fears, Says U.S. Economy Will Be “OK” in the Long Run President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed growing concerns about a potential recession, insisting the U.S. economy would be “OK” in the long term—even if it experiences a short-term downturn. In an interview with Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker, Trump was asked twice whether it would be acceptable for the country to go through a recession now if it meant long-term stability. “Look, yeah, it’s—everything’s OK,” Trump said. “What we are—I said, this is a transition period. I think we’re going to do fantastically.” When pressed…

Scientific societies to do climate assessment after Trump administration dismissals Two leading U.S. scientific societies have announced a joint initiative to publish peer-reviewed research on the impacts of the climate crisis, following the Trump administration’s abrupt dismissal of hundreds of contributors to a key federal climate report. The American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) said Friday they will collaborate to produce over 29 peer-reviewed journals addressing various aspects of climate change—ranging from observations and projections to risks, impacts, and potential solutions. This effort follows the administration’s removal of all contributors to the sixth National Climate Assessment…

Israeli airstrikes kill at least 40 across Gaza as broader offensive looms Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 40 people across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to civil defence officials in the Palestinian territory. The escalation comes as Israel’s government prepares to widen its military campaign. Among the latest casualties, nine people were killed in a strike on a home in the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. In the northern city of Beit Lahiya, a separate airstrike targeting a family residence claimed six lives. Six more were killed when a community kitchen in Gaza City was hit,…

Chinese discount retailer Temu has altered its U.S. business strategy in response to new regulations on low-value imports implemented by the Trump administration on Friday. In a sudden move, Temu’s website and app now only showcase products available from U.S.-based warehouses. Items previously shipped directly from China—once the core of its platform—are now marked as out of stock. Temu gained popularity in the U.S. by offering ultra-low-cost goods shipped from China, including $5 sneakers and $1.50 garlic presses. Its low prices were largely enabled by the “de minimis” rule, which since 2016 has allowed shipments valued under $800 to enter…

Australia’s incumbent Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has secured a second term following a tightly contested general election on Saturday, according to projections from local broadcasters. The result marks a setback for the conservative coalition, whose close alignment with former U.S. President Donald Trump may have hurt its standing with voters. Early estimates from the Australian Electoral Commission, reported by national broadcaster ABC, showed Albanese’s Labor Party ahead of Peter Dutton’s conservative Liberal-National coalition, with Labor projected to win at least 70 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives. “This isn’t the result we hoped for,” Dutton said during…

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump may finally get the military parade he has long desired. The U.S. Army is organizing a major event to commemorate its 250th anniversary and also mark President Trump’s 79th birthday, both of which fall on June 14. The celebration is expected to feature tanks, military vehicles, and aircraft filling the streets and skies of Washington, D.C., according to three defense officials familiar with the planning. During his first term, Trump pushed for a grand military parade, but the plans were canceled due to concerns over the costs and the potential damage some military vehicles, especially…

When Donald Trump issued an executive order in March leading to the closure of Voice of America (VOA)—a global broadcaster born out of efforts to counter Nazi propaganda—he unexpectedly won praise from figures typically at odds with any U.S. administration. The order called for the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the federal body funding VOA and other outlets that support independent journalism abroad, aiming to eliminate it “to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law.” As a result, programming in 49 languages reaching more than 425 million people was abruptly halted. The reaction from authoritarian regimes was…

Summary Britain’s Prince Harry has shared that his father, King Charles, “won’t speak” to him, making it hard for him to envision bringing his family back to the UK—especially after recently losing a court case concerning his security arrangements. Speaking in an interview with the BBC, the Duke of Sussex expressed his desire to heal the rift with his family, which he says largely stemmed from disagreements over his security. “There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family,” he acknowledged, though he emphasized that he has now “forgiven” them. He added, “I would love reconciliation…
