Some projections expect next year to be even hotter. But already, the effects of the warming have been striking and far-reaching: In areas where summers are often scorching, including Texas and India, recent triple-digit heat waves have turned deadly. Off Antarctica’s coasts, sea ice levels this year have plummeted to record lows.

A Pentagon official later said that Prigozhin had remained in Russia during most of the period since the mutiny. It was unclear, the official added, whether Prigozhin had ever actually set foot inside Belarus, as was reported by the state media there last week. He apparently uses body doubles, which make his movements more difficult to track. Under a deal reached with the Kremlin, Prigozhin had agreed to be exiled to Belarus in exchange for amnesty, but Lukashenko said he was “a free man.” Lukashenko’s remarks added to the confusion surrounding the aftermath of the most dramatic challenge to Vladimir Putin’s authority in his 23 years in power. ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmib6iP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNy8wNi9oZWFsdGgvYWx6aGVpbWVycy1sZXFlbWJpLW1lZGljYXJlLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzA3MDYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTY4Nzgmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzODU0MyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZKWiOadk11_l3VIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD While Leqembi cannot stop Alzheimer’s from getting worse, data suggests that the drug may be able to slow cognitive decline by five months over a period of 18 months for people with mild symptoms.Eisai, via Reuters An Alzheimer’s drug will soon be widely available The F.D.A. gave [full approval today to the Alzheimer’s drug Leqembi](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmib6iP0TgaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNy8wNi9oZWFsdGgvYWx6aGVpbWVycy1sZXFlbWJpLW1lZGljYXJlLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzA3MDYmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTY4Nzgmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzODU0MyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZKWiOadk11_l3VIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). The drug may be able to modestly slow cognitive decline in the early stages of the disease, but it also carries some significant safety risks. It is the first time in two decades that a drug for Alzheimer’s disease has received the agency’s full approval, which means that the F.D.A. found solid evidence of potential benefit. It will cost about $26,500 annually, but Medicare said it would cover about 80 percent of the cost. ~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmib6iP0TlaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNy8wNi9ueXJlZ2lvbi9tYXlvci1hZGFtcy1waG90by12ZW5hYmxlLWZha2UuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIzMDcwNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05Njg3OCZubD10aGUtZXZlbmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTM4NTQzJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkpaI5p2TXX-XdUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~ Mayor Eric Adams said he had long kept a photo of Officer Robert Venable in his wallet.An Rong Xu for The New York Times Did New York’s mayor fake a photo?
