Ballot from the blue: will Ukraine hold a poll?
Rosie Bloor, Oliver Carroll, Andrew Knox, Natasha
Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have recently challenged Volodymyr Zelensky's legitimacy, sparking a domestic political shift where Zelensky's approval rating of 45% now surpasses his military rival's 30% despite constitutional barriers preventing elections during martial law. Simultaneously, President Trump plans to announce "Liberation Day" tariffs that could mirror the destructive economic fallout of the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Act by triggering a global trade war and reducing American growth. While international and domestic political maneuvering continues, public health experts warn that the recent Daylight Savings Time shift disrupts circadian rhythms, linking the change to increased risks of heart attacks, depression, and sleep deprivation among vulnerable populations.

Living Healthy: Education, Access and Activity
Alex Witt, Robert Egger, Sam Cass, Michel Nishan, Rachel Poplack, Larry Soler, Robert Blendon, Natasha, Harlan Weissman
A coalition of federal agencies and major corporations is implementing a multi-faceted strategy to reverse obesity trends by codifying SNAP incentives, mandating healthy options in schools and vending machines, and reformulating product lines to remove trillions of calories. Simultaneously, innovative programs are expanding food access in underserved communities through technical aid for corner stores, mobile produce vendors, and culinary education initiatives that leverage cultural relevance and entertainment partnerships. Despite these advancements, stakeholders warn that without shifting financial sector priorities to long-term health strategies and addressing the projected diabetes crisis among seniors and youth, the current healthcare economic model remains unsustainable.
