SUMMARY: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the sale of a new version of the diabetes treatment Mounjaro as a weight-loss drug, known as Zepbound. The drug, tirzepatide, helped dieters lose a quarter of their body weight in a recent study. Zepbound is the latest diabetes drug approved for weight loss, alongside Novo Nordisk's Wegovy. However, the drug is expensive, at about $1,000 a month, and is not covered by Medicare. While experts celebrated the approval of Zepbound, they are concerned about access to the drug and the affordability for most patients. This profile was published by the Associated Press and Science Department.

SUMMARY: Texas officials urged coastal residents to prepare for Hurricane Beryl, expected to hit the Texas coast as a Category 1 hurricane on Monday.

Dan Patrick issued a preemptive disaster declaration for 121 counties. Voluntary evacuations and preparations are underway in coastal cities, with officials emphasizing safety over holiday plans. Beryl, currently 385 miles southeast of Corpus Christi with 60 mph winds, continues a destructive path through the Gulf of Mexico.

SUMMARY: Hamas has given initial approval to a U.S.-backed phased cease-fire proposal in Gaza, dropping its demand for an upfront commitment from Israel to end the war. This compromise could lead to the first pause in fighting since November and pave the way for further negotiations. Nonetheless, a final deal is still uncertain. Meanwhile, the Gaza Ministry reports that an Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter killed at least 16 people and injured 50 others. The ongoing conflict involves repeated hostilities between Israel and Hamas. (July 6, 2024, Associated Press)

‘No dog pee’ signs are everywhere. Can they be enforced?

SUMMARY: Dog owners frequently encounter signs prohibiting dogs from peeing on specific lawns, leaving them in a bind, especially in urban areas. While cleaning dog poop is legally enforced in many places with pooper-scooper laws, regulations on dog pee are ambiguous. Technically, allowing a dog to pee on private property is trespassing, but legal consequences are rare. Homeowners concerned about grass damage from urine might pursue civil trespassing claims, but usually only receive minimal compensation. Criminal charges are unlikely unless significant damage occurs. Ultimately, a balance of consideration and understanding is essential between dog owners and property owners.
