President Biden said Thursday that in the days after the war in Gaza began, he pushed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to prevent civilian deaths and accommodate Palestinian concerns, while maintaining firm U.S. support for Israel.Biden spoke with MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell in his final television interview while in office, during which he also discussed his political career and presidency. The interview, which aired Thursday night, was recorded earlier in the day.The 15-month war, which began after Hamas carried out a deadly attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians. Most of Gaza's approximately two million residents have been displaced at least once, and much of the enclave has been destroyed.Biden and other leaders announced a tentativ...

Patients are dying in British hospital corridors. Pregnant women receive abortion care in semi-public places. Incontinent patients are cleaned next to vending machines.These are just some of the shocking revelations contained in a report published Thursday by the Royal College of Nursing, a British nursing union. In the report, nurses described an overcrowding crisis that they say has led to a collapse of care, privacy and dignity across the country's National Health Service.“Vulnerable people are being stripped of their dignity and nursing staff are being denied access to vital life-saving equipment,” Nicola Ranger, the union's general secretary and chief executive, said in a statement.The nation's health workforce has reached a "breaking point", the report adds.The 460-page report, which...

The long-sought and torturously negotiated Gaza ceasefire agreement announced Wednesday is the result in part of a remarkable collaboration between President Biden and President-elect Donald J. Trump, who temporarily put aside animosity mutual to achieve a common goal.The two presidents ordered their advisers to work together to push Israel and Hamas over the finish line toward an agreement to halt the fighting that has devastated Gaza and free hostages who have been held there for 15 months. The deal is expected to begin Sunday, the day before Biden hands over the White House to Trump.Each president had his own interest in resolving the issue before Inauguration Day. For Biden, the deal, if it holds, represents a final vindication under his watch, what he hopes will be an end to the deadl...

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday banned the use of red dye No. 3 in foods, drinks and drugs, more than three decades after the synthetic dye was found to cause cancer in male laboratory rats.The dye, a petroleum-based additive, has been used to give candy, soda and other products their vibrant cherry-red hue. Consumer advocates said the FDA's decision to revoke the authorization was long overdue, given the agency's decision in 1990 to ban the chemical's use in cosmetics and topical medications.Under federal rules, the FDA is prohibited from approving food additives that cause cancer in humans or animals.“This is wonderful and long overdue news,” said Melanie Benesh, vice president for government affairs at the Environmental Working Group, one of several organizations that have...

Princess Catherine, wife of Prince William, reported Tuesday that her cancer was in remission. But what does it mean to be in remission from cancer?Last March, he revealed that doctors had unexpectedly discovered his cancer during abdominal surgery. He did not reveal the type of cancer he has, nor how advanced it was when it was discovered.But she said she had chemotherapy, which she said was completed in September. He told British news agency PA Media that he has a port, a small device that is implanted under the skin and connected to a catheter that enters a large vein. It allows medicines such as chemotherapy drugs to be administered directly into the chest veins, avoiding needle sticks.Catherine told PA Media that the chemotherapy was "really tough".“It's a relief to now be in remissio...

U.S. securities regulators sued Elon Musk in federal court in Washington on Tuesday in an enforcement action stemming from his $44 billion purchase of Twitter, now called X.The lawsuit against Musk, who has become a close adviser to President-elect Donald J. Trump, is likely to be one of the Securities and Exchange Commission's most controversial final acts under Gary Gensler, its outgoing chairman. It could also be reduced in a matter of days, when Trump appoints new leadership to take over the regulator.The SEC alleges that by purchasing Twitter in 2022, Musk violated securities laws by amassing a large stock position in the social media company without filing the proper notification. The complaint stated that he waited 11 days before making the required disclosure to the SECRegulatory d...

According to a new analysis published in The Lancet, deaths caused by bombs and other traumatic injuries during the first nine months of the war in Gaza may have been underestimated by more than 40%.The peer-reviewed statistical analysis, conducted by epidemiologists at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, used modeling in an attempt to provide an objective third-party estimate of fatalities. The United Nations relied on data from the Hamas-led Health Ministry, which it said was largely accurate, but which Israel criticizes as inflated.But the new analysis suggests that the Hamas Ministry of Health's tally is significantly underestimated. The researchers concluded that the death toll from Israel's aerial bombardment and ground military operation in Gaza between October 2023 ...
