The South Carolina House approved a new map for U.S. congressional districts that favors Republicans, aiming to help them win more seats in the November elections. The plan, supported by President Donald Trump, now moves to the state Senate, where some Republicans are more cautious about its impact.
Key Facts
The South Carolina House passed a redistricting plan that benefits Republican candidates.
The map targets the state’s only Democratic-held U.S. House district to give Republicans an advantage.
President Donald Trump encouraged South Carolina to redraw districts before the November midterms.
Four Republicans voted against the bill after a long 14-hour session.
The bill must still pass the South Carolina Senate, which has some doubts about the plan.
The new plan would delay South Carolina’s U.S. House primaries from June to August and add at least $3 million in election costs.
Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn, whose district is being changed, plans to run for re-election despite the new map.
Democrats opposed the changes, citing concerns about their impact, but Republicans rejected their amendments.

Children and young people in England facing mental health crises are often waiting up to three days in hospital emergency rooms before getting a bed in a specialist unit. NHS data shows these delays have increased, with many children experiencing distress and some needing sedation while waiting for care.
Key Facts
Children under 18 in mental health crisis sometimes wait up to three days in A&E (accident & emergency) departments before transfer to specialist units.

Some NHS trusts in London and Cumbria reported waiting times of three days or more for mental health beds.
Staff sometimes have to use medication to sedate children who become very distressed while waiting.
The Royal College of Nursing called these delays a "catastrophic system-wide failure" of NHS mental health services for children.
Nearly 500,000 children in England have sought emergency mental health help since 2019.
Experts warn that mental health problems in young people are becoming more severe, with increased rates of self-harm and eating disorders.
NHS England says it is expanding mental health services and providing 24/7 support through phone and school teams to reduce A&E visits.

Adenomyosis is a condition where the tissue lining the uterus grows into the muscle wall, causing heavy, painful, and irregular periods. Many women with adenomyosis feel their pain is often ignored, and experts say more education and research are needed to improve diagnosis and awareness.
Key Facts
Adenomyosis affects at least 1 in 10 women.
The condition causes symptoms like heavy bleeding and intense pain in the uterus and surrounding areas.
Adenomyosis differs from endometriosis; in adenomyosis, tissue grows inside the womb muscle, while in endometriosis, it grows outside the womb.
Diagnosis is difficult because traditional methods like scans often miss it, and hysterectomy was once the only sure way to diagnose.
Women with adenomyosis report feelings of dismissal from healthcare providers.
Experts call for better education about menstrual health from a young age to reduce stigma and improve understanding.
Workplace stigma affects women with adenomyosis, making it hard to discuss or accommodate their health issues.

School leaders in England warn that current government policies focusing mainly on exam results may hurt efforts to support children with special educational needs and disabilities (Send). They say schools might be punished for including these pupils if their test scores drop, and changes need more funding, staff, and clear guidance to work well.

The Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) stresses reforms need proper staffing, funding, and training to succeed.
