Efforts in Pennsylvania are helping bats survive deadly fungus - Ireland
Habitat improvement efforts in Pennsylvania are helping bats survive White-Nose Syndrome (WNS), a deadly fungus that causes bats to die. The Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC) has been working for over a decade to find ways to help bats survive this disease. The population of bats in the state has dropped significantly since WNS was discovered in late 2008. However, efforts are being made to stabilize the population and potentially grow. The average bat can consume over 1 million insects over a 24-hour period, which can impact human health and food supply. The PGC is expanding its efforts to lower the temperature in several abandoned mines and caves where bats hibernate. Bats are also used in research for radar and anti-coagulant drugs that treat blood clots and strokes.

Quebec proposes tighter controls on Benadryl, with pharmacists required to track sales - Ireland
Quebec is considering tighter controls on Benadryl and other medications containing diphenhydramine, following the overdose death of an 18-year-old in 2023. The proposed regulation would require pharmacists to record each sale and reduce the risk of misuse and overdose. Patients would have to go to a pharmacist who can give the medicine without a prescription, allowing for extra control and discussion of the possible side effects. Dr. Michael Kalin, a Montreal family doctor, discussed the proposal. The proposal does not mean Benadyrl will be removed from the market but maintains the second-generation antihistamines over the counter.

Newsom to campaign for Democratic candidates in CA, US - People
Gov. Gavin Newsom is set to embark on a summer tour across California and the country to fundraise and campaign for Democrats seeking to take control of Congress in the upcoming election. The trip comes almost a year after Newsom launched the effort to redraw California’s congressional district maps, a push known as Proposition 50. The tour will begin in Nevada, where Newsom aims to raise money for Democrats, including Attorney General Aaron Ford and Republican incumbent Joe Lombardo, and is also expected to meet with Congressman Steven Horsford and other state Democratic party leaders. A large part of the tour will focus on California later this summer, with a single email from Newsom days ago raising over $120,000 for three California Democratic candidates hoping to flip Republican seats through Prop 50. This cycle alone, Newsom has raised more than $5.2 million for Democratic candidates and causes through his small-dollar email list.

Judge orders writer get $A8m in Trump sex abuse case
A US judge has ordered $A8.4 million ($A9.8 million) to be paid to magazine writer E Jean Carroll to satisfy a 2023 verdict that found US President Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming her. The funds had been held while Trump appealed the verdict, but the US Supreme Court declined to take up his case. Judge Lewis Kaplan stated that Carroll was entitled to the money now, more than six years after she first sued Trump. A different jury in 2024 ordered Trump to pay Carroll $US83.3 million in damages based on his original denial in 2019.

OpenAI to launch new model after US freeze - Newspaper - People
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI is set to release its latest and most powerful artificial intelligence model, GPT-5.6, to the public after the US government reportedly approved a broader launch. The new model has been controversial due to its ability to identify weaknesses in code that hackers can exploit. This has led to national security fears. OpenAI had shared preview access to GPT.6 with a limited group of trusted US-based partners at Washington's request. However, a White House official denied this was an approval. The government is now developing criteria for which AI models would fall under new security restrictions.

Trump appeals again in E. Jean Carroll case, tries to defy order to pay his sexual assault victim $5.8 million, claims 'unrecoverable loss'
Donald Trump has appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to prevent the payment of his sexual assault victim, E. Jean Carroll, from receiving the $5.8 million awarded after a jury found him liable for the assault. His lawyers argue that forcing him to pay now would cause an "unrecoverable loss", as Carroll has indicated she plans to give away any money she receives, which they believe could make it difficult to recover later if Trump wins another round of appeals. This is not the only financial setback facing Trump; a separate jury has ordered him to repay $83.3 million in damages for defamation.
