5 things

1?? Backpedaling on pollution

In a significant policy reversal, the Trump administration wants to repeal a 2009 scientific finding that human-caused climate change endangers human health and safety. Speaking on a conservative podcast, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin referred to climate change as dogma rather than science.

2?? Left in the dark?

In Alaska’s North Slope region — the northernmost county in the US — one small radio station keeps eight villages connected and serves about 10,000 people. KBRW relies on federal funding to stay afloat, but it may not survive because of President Donald Trump’s public media cuts.

3?? Passion and purpose

Ukrainian swimmer Vladyslav Bukhov fled his hometown as a child in 2014, when Russia first invaded his country. Then came the 2022 attack. Forced to train in a war zone, Bukhov never thought he would become a world champion. Now he’s trying to do it again.

4?? ‘A beautiful sight’

The world’s first passenger jet — a luxurious British model that took off in 1952 — vanished from the skies after several deadly crashes. Aviation enthusiasts brought one back to life.

5?? Night and day

People are waking up to a fresh fashion trend. Nightgowns — the sleepwear once strictly relegated to bedrooms and boudoirs — have become the summer dress of the year.
