  • Anti-monarchy protesters have been arrested in London ahead of King Charles' coronation, according to campaign group Republic. Harry Stratton, director of Republic, told Newsweek that "six of our main organizers have been arrested."
  • Former Marine Daniel Penny released a statement over the death of Jordan Neely in Manhattan on Monday afternoon. Attorneys for Penny said he "never intended to harm Mr. Neely and could not have foreseen his untimely death."
  • The FDA will decide whether to make a birth control pill available over the counter during a meeting next week. The medication, Opill, would be the first of its kind to become available without a prescription if the FDA moves forward with drugmaker Perrigo's request.
  • The U.S. Supreme Court granted a stay of execution for Richard Glossip, a man on death row in Oklahoma who was convicted in 1997 in a murder-for-hire killing. Glossip, who says he is innocent, was scheduled to be executed on May 18.
  • About 516,000 at-home COVID-19 tests have been recalled due to concerns about bacteria contamination in the testing solution, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced. The SD Biosensor Pilot COVID-19 At-Home Tests were distributed by Roche Diagnostics and made available to consumers through CVS Health and Amazon.

Americans Divided Over the Debt Ceiling Bill

TL/DR: Voters responded positively to spending cuts as they were “somewhat skeptical of big government” but didn't like to see cuts to areas that impacted them, such as social security or Medicare, University College London's Thomas Gift told Newsweek.

The debt ceiling is proving to be a polarizing issue for American voters, not necessarily because they no longer want to see America pay its bills, but because of what it represents in terms of government spending. A Newsweek poll found that 50% of Americans favor a bill that requires limits on government spending; 25% wanted a bill without commitments. If the ceiling is not raised, the U.S. would default on debt as early as June 1, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned.

The issue is less about the U.S. government acquiring more debt and more about a clash of ideologies over how expansive the government should be. Republicans passed a bill that would raise the ceiling but demand spending cuts in exchange — which President Joe Biden has opposed. Nearly 45% of 1,100 respondents who said they were familiar with the GOP bill supported the legislation.

What happens now? President Joe Biden and congressional leaders meet on the issue next week; three experts told Newsweek the most likely outcome will be Biden and McCarthy reaching an agreement. Analysts have warned that if the limit is not raised, it could be "catastrophic" for the economy. Biden also "cannot afford for the U.S. to fall off this fiscal cliff, given that he's the incumbent and that he's heading into this re-election cycle," Gift said. In the meantime, the clock is ticking and the financial markets are starting to feel the jitters. Yields on Treasury bills for June have soared, while portfolio managers are looking to avoid risk.

Fentanyl Overdose Deaths Triple Over Past Few Years

TL/DR: A new CDC report finds the number of fentanyl-related overdoses, in addition to other drug deaths, has heavily increased across the U.S. between 2016 and 2021.

The opioid crisis has intensified over the past several years, exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. A new CDC report shows deaths from fentanyl overdoses skyrocketed by nearly 280% between 2016 and 2021, from 5.7 deaths per 100,000 people in 2016 to 21.6 deaths per 100,000 in 2021. The synthetic opioid painkiller, 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine, is often mixed with other hard drugs, leading to rapid overdoses.

The CDC says over 150 people die every day from overdoses related to synthetic opioids, including fentanyl. Overdose deaths involving other drugs also increased, including cocaine and methamphetamine, more than doubling across five years. Xylazine, nicknamed "zombie drug," is often mixed in with fentanyl and has also seen a worrisome increase in overdoses, including more than 1,100% in the South between 2020 and 2021 alone, DEA data shows.

What happens now? A fentanyl overdose can be treated with the administration of naloxone, or Narcan, which blocks the effects of opioids. Florida House members voted 116-0 for a bill removing fentanyl test strips from the state's ban list, following in the footsteps of Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Ohio. In Texas, the same legislative effort stalled while a bill to increase criminal penalties, including homicide charges to those who distribute the drug, has advanced.

How Russia Could 'Deliberately Engineer' a Nuclear Disaster in Ukraine

TL/DR: Russia's fighting positions at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant highlight "the acute threat posed to the power plant—and, by extension, its civilian staff—by the ongoing military activity," Royal United Services Institute's Darya Dolzikova told Newsweek.

Russia could target Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in several ways, experts told Newsweek, as concerns spike around the facility. Russia may "deliberately engineer a radiological accident," which would make the emergency systems redundant, Royal United Services Institute's (RUSI) Darya Dolzikova said. Experts have warned about the safety of the facility since it was seized by Russian forces, particularly after U.N. nuclear watchdog experts reportedly found explosives inside the plant.

The comments coincided with a new RUSI report which warned that Russia could "resort to deliberate attacks" to "coerce Ukraine's partners through fear of escalation without resorting to nuclear weapons." The plant's safety has been an ongoing concern of the International Atomic Energy Agency since the invasion began.

What happens now? The U.K. said that Russian forces placed “sandbag fighting positions" on the roofs of reactor buildings, increasing the likelihood of it “coming under fire," Watling said. Experts say direct damage to a reactor, sparking a catastrophic accident, is unlikely. A RUSI report argued that the biggest threat to Ukraine's nuclear power facilities was likely to be key systems failure or human error — which could potentially result in a scenario more like the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011. However, unlike Fukushima, the Zaporizhzhia plant's reactors have not been operational for months.

The COVID Global Health Emergency Is Over

TL/DR: After three years of restrictions, the WHO has claimed COVID-19 no longer represents a global health emergency—but warns that the pandemic is not officially over.

Russia could target Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) in several ways, experts told Newsweek, as concerns spike around the facility. Russia may "deliberately engineer a radiological accident," which would make the emergency systems redundant, Royal United Services Institute's (RUSI) Darya Dolzikova said. Experts have warned about the safety of the facility since it was seized by Russian forces, particularly after U.N. nuclear watchdog experts reportedly found explosives inside the plant.

The comments coincided with a new RUSI report which warned that Russia could "resort to deliberate attacks" to "coerce Ukraine's partners through fear of escalation without resorting to nuclear weapons." The plant's safety has been an ongoing concern of the International Atomic Energy Agency since the invasion began.

What happens now? Following the downgrade, countries are no longer obligated to report statistics on the virus. This will likely make little difference to most wealthy nations, where life has mostly returned to normal. It will also be left to individual countries to decide how to manage covid in the way they think best. In poorer countries, the WHO’s declaration could allow healthcare systems to focus on other pressing issues and disease outbreaks, such as HIV and malaria.

Kentucky Derby Lead-Up Marred by 'Unacceptable' Horse Deaths

TL/DR: "We feel a tremendous responsibility to our fans, the participants in our sport, and the entire industry to be a leader in safety and continue to make significant investments to eliminate risk to our athletes," Churchill Downs said in a statement.

The Kentucky Derby will go ahead as scheduled today despite outcry over four horses dying at Churchill Downs racetrack over the past week. According to the Louisville racetrack, two horses being trained by Saffie Joseph Jr. died suddenly from unknown causes earlier this week, while another two were euthanized after sustaining injuries on the track. Joseph was suspended indefinitely pending further investigation.

The Jockey Club reports that more than 7,200 horses have died in the U.S. due to race injuries between 2009 and 2021—a figure which does not include training deaths such as those seen in Louisville this week. A change could be coming, as exemplified by California, whose thoroughbred fatalities fell from 144 in four years ago to 66 in the last fiscal year, resulting from a regulatory overhaul after more than 30 horses died at Santa Anita in 2019. But Kentucky seems unwilling to hint that similar changes could be made, with Lisa Lazarus, chief executive of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, insisting Churchill Downs is safe.

What happens now? The decision to continue with the Derby will no doubt galvanize animal rights activists calling for either tougher regulation of racing or the end of the sport entirely. The Derby deaths are not the only concerns. Practical Move (10-1), Lord Miles (30-1), and Continuar (50-1) were all scratched on Thursday, while Skinner scratched Friday. The 2023 Kentucky Derby post time is 6:57 p.m. ET.

King Charles Faces Calls to Apologize for Slavery, Provide Reparations

TL/DR: Advocates in 12 countries that recognize King Charles as their monarch want him to apologize for the monarchy’s history with slavery.

On the day of his coronation, King Charles III is facing renewed calls to apologize for the British monarchy's history of colonialism and slavery. Advocates in 12 countries that recognize Charles as king issued a statement requesting that he "acknowledge the horrific impacts on and legacy of genocide and colonisation," formally apologize and provide a reparations process. The statement asked King Charles to do so today as he is crowned.

The king has expressed "personal sorrow" for slavery's enduring impacts, but has not apologized. Discussions about the monarchy's relevance and continued role overseas have recently escalated, as evidenced by the protests that met Prince William and Kate Middleton during their Caribbean royal tour last spring. A poll conducted for Newsweek found 35% of Americans think King Charles should apologize for slavery. In the U.K., recent polling suggests support for the monarchy has reached a new low, with its continuation least popular among young Britons.

What happens now? Today, King Charles III becomes the first British monarch to be crowned in 70 years. Prince William is first in line to succeed him. It’s unclear how drastically the monarchy could change with King Charles at the helm, though public opinion seems to be leaning toward lessening the institution’s impact. Meanwhile, calls for slavery reparations have started gaining steam in the U.S. In California, a reparations task force is overseeing proposals for how the state can apologize for racism and create a reparations process for impacted individuals.

My Mother-in-Law Has Broken My Heart—What Should I Do?

Dear Newsweek, my husband and I have been married for 29 years and we've been together for over 32 years. We were high school sweethearts. Now, my mother-in-law who used to be so sweet and caring that I used to call her mom has completely changed.

My husband, who's a very hard worker, loves me to pieces and would do anything for myself and our children. One day, my mother-in-law called him a stupid idiot for marrying me. She claimed that my daughter and I were using him and controlling him. A few days later she told our daughter, who I believe was 12 or 13 years old at the time, that my husband was going to kill himself and that it was going to be our daughter's fault.

This is her flesh-and-blood granddaughter! Am I in the wrong here, because I refuse to talk to her or to step foot in her house again? At Christmas, I sat in our car the entire time we were there. She has never apologized to me. I was standing next to my daughter when she told her that, and has not said one word to me since that day which was almost three years ago. Am I wrong? Am I being childish?

The Full STORY
Talking Points
  • "If she cannot fulfill her obligations to the Senate and to her constituents, she should resign and turn over her responsibilities to an appointed successor. If she is unable to reach that decision on her own, Mr. Schumer, the majority leader, and other Democratic senators should make it clear to her and the public how important it is that she do so." The New York Times' Editorial Board joined growing calls for California Senator Dianne Feinstein to resign after she missed dozens of votes due to illness. Feinstein has said her ongoing absence from the chamber is not slowing the Senate's judicial confirmation process and that she is "confident" outstanding nominees will get a vote quickly once she returns.
  • "I think that there is no question that this is going to be extremely challenging. I do not want to understate the severity of the challenge that we expect to encounter. The border is a very, as I said at the very outset, it is a difficult situation. It requires not only a community of action on this side of the border, but it requires a community of action south of our border—not only with our Mexican partners, but with other countries throughout the region." U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said President Joe Biden's administration is taking "an international approach to an international challenge" with the anticipated end of Title 42. The federal government expects to see an increase in the volume of asylum seekers when Title 42 lifts next week.
  • "Yes, if older brother Prigozhin and 'Wagner' leave, then the General Staff will lose an experienced combat unit, and his younger brother Kadyrov and 'Akhmat' will come to his place in Artyomovsk. If the scenario is still like this, then our fighters are ready to advance and occupy the city." Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, said he is ready to send replacement troops to join the ongoing fight over control of Bakhmut after the Wagner Group's Yevgeny Prigozhin said he intends on pulling his troops from the contested area next week.
What to watch
  • King Charles III's coronation takes place on Saturday at Westminster Abbey in London, formalizing the monarch's new title after ascending to the throne last September. The King will be crowned alongside Queen Consort Camilla. The ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. GMT/6 a.m. ET. Prince Archie, the first child of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, celebrates his 4th birthday on the same day.
  • The Eta Aquarid meteor shower peaks between midnight and dawn on Saturday. NASA expects a "significant outburst" this year, with 120-160 meteors expected per hour in the Southern Hemisphere.
  • Pussy Riot, a Russian feminist protest and performance art group, will be honored with the 2023 Woody Guthrie Prize in Tulsa. Following the ceremony, the group will perform a multimedia show marking their U.S. debut.
  • ​​The 149th running of the Kentucky Derby will take place Saturday evening at Churchill Downs in Lexington. Excitement for this year's race has dimmed after four horses died while racing or training at Churchill Downs over the last week, a series of tragedies the track is investigating.
