Border Patrol Staff Didn’t Review 8-Year-Old Girl’s File Before She Died, Probe Finds: The report raises troubling questions about what went wrong during the girl’s nine days in custody, which far exceeded the agency’s own limit of 72 hours. Border Patrol medical staff declined to review the file of an 8-year-old girl with a chronic heart condition and rare blood disorder before she appeared to have a seizure and died on her ninth day in custody, an internal investigation found.

A pledge to fight climate change is sending money to strange places:
More than a decade after the first pledge was made, nations have yet to meet their promise. They fell $16.7 billion short of the $100 billion goal in 2020 and are expected to miss it again when contributions are tallied for 2021 and 2022, according to OECD estimates. There are no penalties for missing the target, aside from criticism from those who say governments are not doing enough to combat global warming.

A catatonic woman awakened after 20 years. Her story may change psychiatry: New research suggests that a subset of patients with psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia may actually have autoimmune disease that attacks the brain. Sander Markx, director of precision psychiatry at Columbia University, and his colleagues, discovered that although April’s illness was clinically indistinguishable from schizophrenia, she also had lupus, an underlying and treatable autoimmune condition that was attacking her brain. After months of targeted treatments, and more than two decades trapped in her mind, April woke up.
