Description
Nearly 830 million adults in the world have diabetes. The percentage of people with the disease is more than double previous estimates from 1990. Researchers are trying to figure out what’s driving the increase – and why more than half of those with diabetes aren’t getting treatment. And: Thousands of people are in Toronto for the Taylor Swift concerts. The first show is tonight, and the city is buzzing. But some people are still looking for tickets, which are being resold for thousands of dollars. Also: The RCMP is rolling out bodycams for officers across the country. And the plan is already drawing scrutiny over when the cameras are used and who gets access to the footage. Plus: Critics on both sides of the aisle pan Donald Trump’s pick of Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, digital currency’s sudden surge, satirical site The Onion has won a bidding war for Alex Jones’ Infowars platform, Canada leads a multinational brigade to bolster security along NATO’S eastern flank, and much more.
