[6.1] Daily pill helps people lose 10% of weight in 18 months, study finds — medicalxpress.com (+10)

A study published Thursday found a new daily pill, orforglipron, helps people lose about 10% of their body weight, offering a cheaper, needle-free alternative to current injectable drugs.

The Lancet study involved over 1,500 adults with both obesity and type 2 diabetes. After 72 weeks, those on the highest dose lost 10% of their weight, compared to 2% for a placebo group. Eli Lilly developed the pill.

The pill has side effects similar to existing drugs and is less potent than the injectable Mounjaro. If approved, orforglipron could be available in 2026 at a significantly lower cost than current treatments.

[6.4] Trump's Ukraine war end plan favors Russia — apnews.com (+521)

A U.S.-Russia drafted peace plan proposes ending the war by requiring Ukraine to cede territory and forgo NATO membership in a deal largely favorable to Moscow.

The 28-point proposal, obtained Thursday by the Associated Press, also offers Ukraine security guarantees, limits its military, and establishes a large international fund for reconstruction while reintegrating Russia into the global economy.

Specific terms include recognizing Crimea, Luhansk, and Donetsk as Russian. The plan also calls for a ceasefire, amnesty for combatants, and using frozen Russian assets to help rebuild Ukraine.
