Airlines' summer woes, semaglutide supply threat, a fight against air pollution: Catch up on the day's stories
👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! Hormonal birth control pills can be used to prevent pregnancy, and they're also a popular way to go months or even years without a period. But is it safe? A reproductive health expert weighs in. Here's what else you might have missed during your busy day: 1️⃣ 'Summer of hell': What's typically a key money-making time for airlines could fall short this year. Fears about flying, air traffic control issues and economic concerns are some of the reasons consumers are opting not to fly, prompting airlines to cut back on routes. 2️⃣ Access denied: Africans lost nearly $70 million in non-refundable visa fees last year, seeking permission to travel to European countries. The EU says applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, but advocates say the high rejection rates prove 'inbuilt discrimination and bias' in the process. 3️⃣ Semaglutide crackdown: Shortages of Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs for weight loss and diabetes allowed pharmacies to sell off-brand products not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Now the agency is expected to halt the sale and production of these often-cheaper alternatives. 4️⃣ Elon's musk: The billionaire's artificial intelligence company, xAI, moved into an abandoned factory in southwest Memphis promising jobs and investment. Residents and environmental groups say the new facility is bringing yet more pollution to a community that's long been fighting for clean air. 5️⃣ Coding couture: Would you wear a dress that twirls itself? Christina Ernst has amassed thousands of followers on social media for her whimsical fashion projects that incorporate coding and circuitry. The 28-year-old isn't looking to break into the fashion industry, though. She wants to spark people's interest in engineering. 😋 Say cheese!
