The missile, launched from a vicinity near Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, travelled approximately 600 kilometres (372 miles) before descending into the sea, positioned between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.

'The Guardian' reports that over
4,000 species from around the world
are the targets of wildlife traffickers. .
According to a United Nations report,
this causes "untold harm upon nature.".
The report found that 40% of all
the animals targeted are on the red list
of threatened or nearly threatened species.
The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) report
found that the trade, driven by demand for medicine,
pets and trophies, is active in over 80% of countries.
Despite gaps in knowledge
about the full extent of wildlife
trafficking and associated crime,
there is sufficient evidence to
conclude that this remains
a significant global problem
far from being resolved, UNODC report, via 'The Guardian'.

ability to fight climate change, Ghada Waly, Executive director of UNODC, via 'The Guardian'.
Researchers warn that wildlife crime is often
linked to organized crime, with corruption playing a critical role in impeding efforts to stop trafficking. .
'The Guardian' reports that this corruption can
take the form of bribes paid to inspectors and
government officials in exchange for fake permits.

An Indian UN worker lost his life in Gaza after a targeted attack on a UN vehicle in Rafah, marking the first international casualty in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The incident highlights the risks faced by humanitarian workers in conflict zones. UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the attack, emphasising the need to protect humanitarian workers. Indian UN representative Ruchira Kamboj condemned civilian casualties and emphasised adherence to international law. The attack follows the UN's backing of Palestinian membership bid, with 143 countries, including India, voting for recognition, prompting a call for reconsideration by the Security Council after a US veto last month.

Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan made a dramatic statement at the United Nations General Assembly by tearing up the UN Charter in protest just before the assembly passed a resolution supporting full membership for Palestine. The resolution, which received overwhelming support with 143 votes in favour, asked the Security Council to grant full membership to Palestine, currently holding observer status at the UN. Twenty-five countries abstained from the vote, while nine, including the United States and Israel, voted against it. Erdan criticised the resolution as a "clear violation" of the UN Charter and accused it of circumventing the US veto in the Security Council. He described his actions as a symbolic reflection of the assembly's disregard for the principles outlined in the UN Charter.

Credit Card Delinquencies , Are on the Rise.
New York Federal Reserve data that was published on May 15 shows that credit card delinquencies kept rising from January to March, Fox Business reports. .
In Q1 2024, delinquencies reached
8.9% at an annualized rate.
America hasn't seen this high of a
percentage of serious credit card
delinquencies since 2012, Fox News reports. .
In the first quarter of 2024, credit
card and auto loan transition rates
into serious delinquency continued
to rise across all age groups, Joelle Scally, regional economic principal within the Household and
Public Policy Research Division at the New York Fed, via Fox Business.
An increasing number of borrowers
missed credit card payments,
revealing worsening financial
distress among some households, Joelle Scally, regional economic principal within the Household and
Public Policy Research Division at the New York Fed, via Fox Business.
Researchers aren't sure why delinquencies
are so high since the unemployment rate
is low, but they have a few theories.
One of those theories is that consumers drained savings throughout the pandemic
but continue to spend at high levels.
Another theory is that some Americans switched to jobs with lower salaries.
Additionally, credit card eligibility may have been expanded for many whose student debt wasn't being reported to credit bureaus amid the pandemic.
These are all kinds of complex issues.
We don't exactly know what's behind the
increase of these delinquency rates. But it's
definitely something that we're tracking, New York Fed researchers, via Fox Business.
The average annual percentage rate for
credit cards hit a record of 20.72% recently.

... "including cancer chemotherapy drugs and emergency medications stored in hospital crash carts and procedural areas." .
Abramowitz went on to say that the
"ongoing national shortages of therapies for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder also remain
a serious challenge for clinicians and patients.".
A separate ASHP report said that "the most severe and persistent shortages are driven by economic factors that undermine investment in manufacturing capacity, manufacturing quality and supply chain reliability.".
These economic challenges are
driven by extreme price competition
among generic manufacturers, ASHP, via report.
ASHP will continue to engage
with policymakers regularly as we guide
efforts to draft and pass new legislation
to address drug shortages and continue
to strongly advocate on behalf of our
members for solutions that work, ASHP CEO Paul Abramowitz, via statement.
Last week, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a white paper recommending tactics for Congress to help.
With today’s white paper,
HHS offers solutions and stands
ready to work with Congress to
ensure no patient faces the devastating
consequences of drug shortages or
goes without needed medicines, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, via press release
