These Are the CDC’s New Rules for Flying With Your Dog

The CDC recently announced new rules for pet-owners planning on flying with their dogs, a change they say will simplify the process for those arriving to the U.S. from countries that are “dog rabies-free” or low-risk. The new regulations apply to those entering the country by land, plane, or cruise. 

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

Beginning August 1st, 2024, pet owners entering the United States are required to fill out a CDC Dog Import Form upon arrival in the U.S. Pet owners can fill out the form on their travel date—though the CDC recommends preparing ahead and completing it a few days or up to six months before traveling from a dog rabies-free or low-risk country. 

The form will remain valid for 6 months and can be used multiple times for entry into the U.S. as long as the dog has not been in a high-rabies country. The form is free to fill out, but each pet will need its own form. To find out if a country is dog rabies-free or low-risk, check this website, which lists countries with high dog rabies risk. 

Those traveling from countries with a high risk of rabies are required to fill out both the CDC Dog Import Form and have either a certification of U.S.-issued rabies vaccination form or a USDA-endorsed export health certificate. 

All pets arriving from all countries must appear to be healthy upon arrival in the U.S., be at least six months of age, and have a microchip inserted before they are issued a rabies vaccine. 

Previously, there wasn’t a form for dogs traveling into the U.S. from countries with low or no risk of rabies. 

The United States has been free of dog rabies since 2007. The World Health Organization estimates that rabies kills an estimated 59,000 people a year across more than 150 countries, with almost all cases originating from the bite of an infected dog.

Brittney Griner Celebrates Evan Gershkovich’s Prison Release at the Olympics

WNBA star Brittney Griner was famously sentenced to nine years in a Russian prison in Aug. 2022 for carrying cannabis oil. The Texas-born athlete was initially detained in February 2022 and spent 10 months in Russian custody before being released in a U.S.-Russia prisoner swap in December 2022. Speaking out on Thursday, Griner said she was “emotional” and overjoyed to hear about the release of U.S. citizens Evan Gershkovich, Paul Whelan, and Alsu Kurmasheva, who were freed from Russian jails in a new prisoner swap.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

“Great day. It’s a great day. It’s a great day,” said Griner, per the Associated Press. “We’ll talk more about it later. But head over heels happy for the families right now. Any day that Americans come home, that’s a win. That’s a win.”

Griner is currently in Paris representing the U.S. at the Paris Summer Olympics. On Thursday, she came off the bench to help Team USA win 87-74 against Belgium, securing their place in the quarter-finals on Aug. 7. 

Griner and her wife, Cherelle Griner, also shared  a joint statement on Instagram, addressing the release of the prisoners and expressing concern for other American hostages that remain overseas. 

“The Biden-Harris Administration showed true leadership once again by doing whatever it took to bring Americans home. Every American returned is a win,” the couple said. “As we extend support to those who have returned and celebrate the collective hands that helped to make American families whole—we must continue to do everything we can to shine a light on the remaining Americans detained. #BringThemHome.”

The athlete has long called for the release of Gershkovich and expressed support for the Wall Street Journal journalist and his family after he was sentenced to 16 years in prison last month, following 15 months of detainment in Russia.

“My heart goes out to him, his family, and all his loved ones,” Griner said in an interview with NBC’s Liz Kreutz. “We have to get him back. We have to. I went through that and I understand what that means.”

The prison swap on Thursday was the largest prisoner swap between the two countries since the end of the Cold War. Alongside the American citizens who were released, other dissidents who expressed discontent with Putin’s government were freed as well, including German, British, and Russian citizens. Altogether, Western countries combined to release eight prisoners in exchange for freeing Russia freeing 16 prisoners.

Since her release from prison in Russia, Griner has become an advocate for Americans wrongfully detained abroad, working with the Bring Our Families Home Campaign to help raise awareness and advocate for the safe return ofU.S. citizens detained abroad.

U.S. and Russia Free Evan Gershkovich and Paul Whelan in Prisoner Swap

(WASHINGTON) — The United States and Russia completed their biggest prisoner swap in post-Soviet history on Thursday, with Moscow releasing Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and Michigan corporate security executive Paul Whelan in a multinational deal that set some two dozen people free, according to officials in Turkey, where the exchange took place.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

The Journal confirmed the release, with top editor Emma Tucker saying in a staff email: “I cannot even begin to describe the immense happiness and relief that this news brings and I know all of you will feel the same.”

The trade followed years of secretive back-channel negotiations despite relations between Washington and Moscow being at their lowest point since the Cold War after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Read More: The Fight to Free Evan Gershkovich

The sprawling deal is the latest in a series of prisoner swaps negotiated between Russia and the U.S. in the last two years but the first to require significant concessions from other countries. But the release of Americans has come at a price: Russia has secured the freedom of its own nationals convicted of serious crimes in the West by trading them for journalists, dissidents and other Westerners convicted and sentenced in a highly politicized legal system on charges the U.S. considers bogus.

The White House did not immediately release any details on the deal.

In a statement posted online, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty President and CEO Stephen Capus acknowledged media reports that a journalist working for the broadcaster, Alsu Kurmasheva, would be released as part of the deal.

Capus said the broadcaster welcomed ’’news of Alsu’s imminent release and are grateful to the American government and all who worked tirelessly to end her unjust treatment by Russia.” Kurmasheva, a dual U.S.-Russian citizen, was convicted in July of spreading false information about the Russian military, accusations her family and employer have rejected.

The deal would be the latest exchange in the last two years between Washington and Moscow, including a December 2022 trade that brought WNBA star Brittney Griner back to the U.S. in exchange for notorious arms trafficker Viktor Bout and a swap earlier that year of Marine veteran Trevor Reed for Konstantin Yaroshenko, a Russian pilot convicted in a drug trafficking conspiracy.

President Joe Biden placed securing the release of Americans held wrongfully overseas at the top of his foreign policy agenda for the six months before he leaves office. In his Oval Office address to the American people discussing his recent decision to drop his bid for a second term, the Democrat said, “We’re also working around the clock to bring home Americans being unjustly detained all around the world.”

Russia also got back Vadim Krasikov, who was convicted in Germany in 2021 of killing a former Chechen rebel in a Berlin park two years earlier, apparently on the orders of Moscow’s security services, according to a statement from the Turkish government.

Speculation had mounted for weeks that a swap was near because of a confluence of unusual developments, including a startingly quick trial and conviction for Gershkovich that Washington regarded as a sham. He was sentenced to 16 years in a maximum-security prison.

Also in recent days, several other figures imprisoned in Russia for speaking out against the war in Ukraine or over their work with the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny were moved from prison to unknown locations.

Gershkovich was arrested March 29, 2023, while on a reporting trip to the Ural Mountains city of Yekaterinburg. Authorities claimed, without offering any evidence, that he was gathering secret information for the U.S. The son of Soviet emigres who settled in New Jersey, he moved to the country in 2017 to work for The Moscow Times newspaper before being hired by the Journal in 2022.

He had more than a dozen closed hearings over the extension of his pretrial detention or appeals for his release. He was taken to the courthouse in handcuffs and appeared in the defendants’ cage, often smiling for the many cameras.

U.S. officials last year made an offer to swap Gershkovich that was rejected by Russia, and Biden’s Democratic administration had not made public any possible deals since then.

Gershkovich was designated as wrongfully detained, as was Whelan, who was detained in December 2018 after traveling to Russia for a wedding. Whelan was convicted of espionage charges, which he and the U.S. have also said were false and trumped up, and he is serving a 16-year prison sentence.

Whelan had been excluded from prior high-profile deals involving Russia, including those involving Reed and Griner.

Boar’s Head Recalls More Deli Meat Due to Listeria Outbreak

The popular deli meat company Boar’s Head is recalling an additional 7 million pounds of ready-to-eat products made at a Virginia plant as an investigation into a deadly outbreak of listeria food poisoning continues, U.S. Agriculture Department officials said Tuesday.

The new recall includes 71 products made between May 10 and July 29 under the Boar’s Head and Old Country brand names. It follows an earlier recall of more than 200,000 pounds of sliced deli poultry and meat. The new items include meat intended to be sliced at delis as well as some packaged meat and poultry products sold in stores.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

They include liverwurst, ham, beef salami, bologna, and other products made at the firm’s Jarratt, Virginia, plant.

The recalls are tied to an ongoing outbreak of listeria poisoning that has killed two people and sickened nearly three dozen in 13 states, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly all of those who fell ill have been hospitalized. Illnesses were reported between late May and mid-July.

The problem was discovered when a liverwurst sample collected by health officials in Maryland tested positive for listeria. Further testing showed that the type of bacteria was the same strain causing illnesses in people.

“Out of an abundance of caution, we decided to immediately and voluntarily expand our recall to include all items produced at the Jarratt facility,” the company said on its website. It has also halted production of ready-to-eat foods at the plant.

The meat was distributed to stores nationwide, as well as to the Cayman Islands, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Panama, Agriculture Department officials said.

Consumers who have the recalled products in their homes should not eat them and should discard them or return them to stores for a refund, company officials said. Health officials said refrigerators should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to prevent contamination of other foods.

An estimated 1,600 people get listeria food poisoning each year and about 260 die, according to the CDC.

Listeria infections typically cause fever, muscle aches, and tiredness and may cause stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. Symptoms can occur quickly or to up to 10 weeks after eating contaminated food. The infections are especially dangerous for people older than 65, those with weakened immune systems, and during pregnancy.

Boeing Names New CEO as it Posts Loss of More Than $1.4 Billion in Second Quarter

Boeing named a longtime aerospace industry veteran on Wednesday as its next chief executive, who will take over a company that has been rocked by legal, regulatory and production problems.

Robert “Kelly” Ortberg, a former CEO at aerospace supplier Rockwell Collins, will succeed David Calhoun, 67, as CEO and president effective Aug. 8, the company said. Calhoun announced in March that he would retire at the end of the year.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

Boeing named its new CEO as it reported a loss of more than $1.4 billion on falling revenue during the second quarter. The loss was wider and revenue lower than Wall Street expected, as both Boeing’s commercial-airplanes business and defense unit lost money.

The disappointing results come at a tumultuous time for Boeing. The company agreed to plead guilty this month to a federal fraud charge in connection with its 737 Max jetliner and two crashes that killed 346 people. The Federal Aviation Administration increased its oversight of the company after the blowout of a panel on an Alaska Airlines jet raised manufacturing quality concerns.

Boeing Chairman Steven Mollenkopf said Ortberg was chosen after a “thorough and extensive search process” and “has the right skills and experience to lead Boeing in its next chapter.” Ortberg has earned a reputation for running complex engineering and manufacturing companies, Mollenkopf said.

The company waived the mandatory retirement age of 65 for Ortberg, a spokesperson said. Boeing did the same for Calhoun days after he turned 64 in 2021.

Ortberg emerged as a leading candidate only recently. Others who were reportedly considered for the job included Patrick Shanahan, a former Boeing executive and now CEO of its most important supplier, Spirit AeroSystems, and another longtime Boeing executive, Stephanie Pope, who recently took over the commercial airplanes division.

Like Calhoun, who took over as CEO in the wake of the two Max crashes, Ortberg will be inheriting the leadership of a company facing ongoing crises and criticism from both outside and internally. It is pushing back against whistleblower allegations of manufacturing shortcuts that crimp on safety.

The company, based in Arlington, Virginia, also is dealing with supply-chain problems that are hindering production, which it hopes to fix in part by re-acquiring Spirit AeroSystems, a key contractor. It is still trying to persuade regulators to approve two new models of the Max and a bigger version of its two-aisle 777 jetliner. And it faces a multi-billion-dollar decision on when to design a new single-aisle plane to replace the Max.

The quarterly earnings reported Wednesday reflect the significant challenges at Boeing. The company reported a loss of $1.44 billion for the second quarter, compared with a loss of $149 million a year earlier.

Excluding special items, the loss worked out to $2.90 per share. Analysts expected a loss of $1.90 per share, according to a FactSet survey.

Revenue dropped 15%, to $16.87 billion, falling short of Wall Street’s average forecast of $17.35 billion.

The commercial-airplanes division had an operating loss of $715 million and revenue plunged 32% as Boeing delivered fewer passenger jets to airlines — 92 planes, compared with 136 a year earlier.

The FAA has limited Boeing’s production of Max jetliners since shortly after the Alaska Airlines incident, but Boeing hasn’t even hit the FAA limits as it seeks to fix its manufacturing process. The company said Wednesday that it is sticking with its plans to boost production of the Max to 38 per month by year end.

Boeing took a charge of $244 million to cover a fine that it would pay as part of an agreement with the Justice Department to plead guilty to fraud in connection with development of the Max. A federal judge in Texas will soon consider whether to approve the deal, which is opposed by many families of those who died in the two Max crashes.

Boeing’s defense and space unit lost $913 million because of $1 billion in setbacks to four fixed-price government contracts, including a deal to build two new Air Force One presidential jets. The smaller services business earned $870 million.

Boeing shares added 2% in premarket trading.

The Uneasy Alliance Between Kamala Harris and Volodymyr Zelensky

In the middle of February 2022, Vice President Kamala Harris flew to Europe for a critical mission on the world stage. Nearly 200,000 Russian troops stood at the borders of Ukraine, and their invasion would mark one of the greatest challenges in decades to the U.S.-led international order. The Biden administration sent Harris to help the Europeans deal with it.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

Like every aspect of Harris’s record, her forays into international affairs have faced renewed scrutiny since she became the presumptive Democratic nominee for president. No threat to U.S. interests in the world has been more immediate during her tenure in the Biden Administration than the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Harris has occasionally played a visible role in the U.S. response.

Her trip to Germany in 2022, less than a week before the invasion began, took Harris to an annual gathering of European leaders in Munich. One of her tasks was to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and convey to him how the U.S. intended to react to the invasion—and how it would not. She also would deliver the latest U.S. intelligence assessments and explain the “preparations needed to succeed on the battlefield,” according to a White House official.

The message she delivered was not entirely welcome, and the impression she made on the Ukrainians was mixed. “Kamala Harris said the attack was unavoidable,” recalls Oleksiy Reznikov, who attended the meeting in his role as Ukraine’s defense minister at the time. “What President Zelensky said to that was: I get it. Our intelligence also sees this information.” But he and Harris could not agree on the appropriate response.

Zelensky urged the U.S. to impose preemptive sanctions against Russia, arguing that would force Vladimir Putin to rethink his decision to invade. If the attack was indeed unavoidable, Zelensky argued, the U.S. should flood weapons into Ukraine, including the anti-aircraft systems, fighter jets and heavy artillery needed to prevent Russian forces from overrunning the country.

Harris rejected both suggestions, according to the Ukrainian officials in the room. The U.S. could not impose preemptive sanctions against Russia, they were told, because the punishment could only come after the crime. Instead of promising to send advanced weapons, Reznikov says the Americans pressured Zelensky to say publicly that the invasion was imminent. “Zelensky clearly asked Kamala Harris: ‘You want me to admit this, but what will that give you? If I admit it here in this conversation, will you impose sanctions?’ And he did not get an answer.”

The U.S. position at the time, set by President Biden in consultation with his national security aides, was that the threat of sanctions was a greater deterrent to Russia than their imposition, and that providing advanced weaponry to Kyiv would likely strengthen Putin’s conviction that Ukraine was becoming a client state of NATO. “Vice President Harris has been a strong proponent of enduring U.S. support for Ukraine and has repeatedly expressed an unwavering commitment to support the people of Ukraine as they defend themselves against Russia’s brutal aggression,” the White House official says.

Harris’s other main role at the conference was to rally European leaders for a united response if the invasion came, and to lay out the U.S. position in a speech. “She met with European leaders to coordinate responses in anticipation of Russia’s invasion,” the White House official tells TIME, and in her speech to the conference, “she foreshadowed Russia’s playbook and outlined steps the United States and Europe would take together.”

Still, the message she delivered to Zelensky in Munich added to his frustration with his allies ahead of the Russian invasion, and it set the tone for a relationship with Harris that has never been particularly warm. While President Biden and other senior officials in the administration visited Kyiv to show resolve and solidarity with the Ukrainians, Harris has not traveled to Ukraine since the full-scale invasion started. At her meetings with Ukrainian officials in recent years, she did show sympathy for their plight, one of them said, “but I would call it formal sympathy, following protocol.”

Asked about this, the White House official noted that Vice President Harris traveled extensively in her efforts to rally European allies and support the Ukrainians in their war against Russia. Soon after the invasion started, she visited Poland and Romania to meet with European leaders and U.S. military personnel on NATO’s eastern flank “to reinforce our deterrence and defense posture,” the official said.

In dealing with the Zelensky administration, President Biden tended to take the lead, in part because of his history of direct engagement with Ukraine. After Russia first attacked Ukraine and seized parts of its territory in 2014, Biden took charge of the U.S. response on behalf of the Obama administration, traveling to Kyiv in 2015 to deliver a landmark speech before the Ukrainian parliament. Since the full-scale war began in 2022, the key U.S. officials involved in the U.S. response have been Jake Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser, William Burns, the CIA director, Antony Blinken, the secretary of state, and Lloyd Austin, the secretary of defense—all of whom have made multiple trips to Kyiv during the invasion.

In that crowded field, Vice President Harris has tended to play a supporting role, attending summits and other important gatherings related to the war when Biden was unable to make it. At the Munich Security Conference in 2023, Harris focused on the war crimes Russian troops had committed in Ukraine. “As a former prosecutor, the Vice President was an important credible messenger and rallied the world to hold Russia accountable for its atrocities in Ukraine,” the White House official says.

Early this summer, Harris also attended the peace summit Ukraine organized in Switzerland. Zelensky’s hope at that gathering was to rally as many world leaders as possible to support his plan for ending the war. Biden declined to attend, citing a fundraiser he needed to headline that week in Hollywood, and Zelensky responded to the snub by criticizing the U.S. President in public: Putin, he said, would “applaud” Biden’s decision not to come.

When Harris arrived in his place, her meeting with Zelensky was marked by some of the same formality as their previous engagements. The two leaders sat directly across from each other at a negotiating table as reporters were led into their meeting room inside an Alpine resort. Zelensky read stiffly from a set of prepared remarks, thanking President Biden and the U.S. Congress for their support. “Putin is trying to expand the war and make it more bloody,” he said. “But together with America and all of our partners we protect the lives of our people.”

In her response, Harris noted that it would be her sixth meeting with Ukraine’s president since the start of the full-scale war. “Not the last,” Zelensky shot back with a smile. “And hopefully in better times,” Harris said.

The U.S. Men’s Gymnastics All-Around Final Will See Close Friends Competing

To understand the relationship between Frederick Richard and Paul Juda, the latter likes to tell the following story: when the two went to compete at the world championships in Antwerp, Belgium, last year, Juda remarked about how cool it was to be at the competition, and to be competing for the U.S. Richard’s response? What about the cooler thing—winning a medal.

[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

They both earned a bronze medal in the team event, and Richard also took home a bronze in the all-around competition—even cooler.

Juda followed Richard’s lead in Paris at their first Olympics and maybe even upstaged him a bit. After Brody Malone, widely expected to compete in the all-around competition on July 31 along with Richard, fell off high bars twice and stumbled in his floor routine during the qualification round, it was Juda and Richard who had scored enough points to qualify and move on to the all-around final. “Today would have been one of those things where I got to say I did an all-around at the Olympics,” Juda said of competing on all six events in men’s gymnastics during the qualification round. “But to be making an all-around final, I think that’s the cooler thing.”

The training and teammates helped the U.S. men earn bronze in the team event at the Bercy Arena on July 29, the first time the U.S. men have made the podium in that event in nearly 20 years. Both are at University of Michigan; Richard will be a junior in the fall and Juda is a graduate student and co-captain of the men’s gymnastics team. In Paris, the two are rooming together but they will compete against one another in the men’s all-around event.

[video id=1Nwm0kGR autostart="viewable"]

But it’s a friendly rivalry. “It means a lot,” Richard said of competing with his training mate. “We were both in the gym, pushing each other, grinding, and it shows. It’s going to be really fun, because we get to have another teammate competition, and to have my closest teammate next to me is just exciting.”

Richard is a world medalist in the all-around, and Juda knows that his difficulty scores may not not be high enough to bring him to the podium in Paris, which will likely be dominated by Chinese and Japanese gymnasts. But the opportunity to compete in the event is one of the items Juda listed on his whiteboard of bucket list goals. “A couple of months ago, maybe even a couple of years ago, I don’t think I would have been able to do that,” Juda said of his solid performances in the pressure-packed environment of the qualification round. He’s been working on the mental side of competing, which gave him the confidence to be the first member of the U.S. team on most of the apparatus in the sessions in Paris so far. He maintained that steadfastness in the team event, and earned his first Olympic medal.

Juda and Richard feed off of their different personalities—where Richard is bolder and outwardly confident, Juda is more introspective. But they shared an early propensity for the difficult skills and fearlessness needed for gymnastics. Richard was doing flips and handstands in his crib. “[His sister] used to call me to tell me what Frederick was doing when he was flipping in his crib: ‘Mommy come see what Frederick is doing,‘” says Richard’s mother Anne-Marie. Juda was similarly active as a boy, enough to make his parents apologize to his early coaches when he fidgeted so much before a competition. “I see my Paul is under the chair and over the chair and next to the chair, and moving his body everywhere,” says Ewa Bacher.

Both Juda and Richard started gymnastics classes when they were young; Richard was probably too young because he wanted to run under all of the apparatus and his first coach, Tom Fontecchio, asked his parents to bring him back when he was a little older and could follow directions better. But for the two boys, gymnastics was the perfect fit, with its challenging skills and discipline. And they were equally dedicated to the long hours in the gym required to reach the highest level in the sport.

“People ask me what encouragement I was giving to him; I didn’t need to,” says Bacher. She recalls once seeing her youngest son so tired juggling school and gymnastics that she gently suggested he could skip a practice or two. “He said ‘What are you talking about, I’m okay, I have so many things to do,’” she says of his reaction. “I learned my lesson.”

Richard stayed behind during family vacations so he wouldn’t miss training, bunking with his coach or neighbors. “He would give up anything for gymnastics,” says his sister Alexandra.

Richard is balancing classes and becoming a growing social media star and a budding entrepreneur; he started an apparel company, Frederick Flips, whose logo is a silhouette of him in a backflip. He’s created a signature series of videos that test his abilities with those of other elite athletes on a number of different skills, such as who can jump the highest, or longest, and who has better dexterity. Juda is already establishing a reputation as a coach, working with young gymnasts to continue to grow the sport and advocate for maintaining men’s gymnastics programs at the collegiate level at a time when many universities are getting rid of them.

“It’s a great chemistry, it’s always good to have a teammate with you, it helps them to push each other to achieve [a] particular goal,” says Richard’s father, Carl.

Richard is also committed to growing men’s gymnastics, and in providing more opportunities for people of color in the sport. And he agrees with Juda that maintaining the collegiate system is a big part of accomplishing that. “I feel I’ve become a better man and a better person” by participating in collegiate gymnastics, he said. “The character building I’ve gone through in the last two years in NCAA at University of Michigan has been huge.”

It’s the first Olympic experience for both Juda and Richard, and it doesn’t matter if they don’t earn a second medal. What matters is that they got to do the next cool thing.
