SZA‘s SOS album doesn’t need anyone to rescue it: It’s just notched its 10th week at number one on theBillboard Top 200 album chart.
The last woman to have an album spend that many weeks at number one was Adele, whose album 25 did it between 2015 and 2016. SOS has the most weeks at number-one for any R&B/hip-hop or R&B album by a woman since Mariah Carey‘s self-titled debut, way back in 1991, spent 13 weeks total on top.
Billboard notes that in terms of just R&B albums overall, SOS has the most weeks at number one since The Bodyguard soundtrack spent 20 weeks on top between 1992 and 1993.
Elsewhere on the chart, Rihanna’s ANTI-, which reappeared in the top 10 after the Super Bowl, is still hanging on, but drops down to number nine. Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains climbs to number four, while Drake and 21 Savage‘s Her Loss is at number seven.

(NEW YORK) — At least nine tornadoes were reported in Kansas and Oklahoma on Sunday night as a massive winter storm moves eastward across the country, according to the National Weather Service.
One tornado destroyed a home, toppled trees and knocked over power lines in Liberal, Kansas, near the state line with Oklahoma, according to local authorities.
At least 12 people were injured due to the severe weather in Oklahoma’s third-largest city, Norman, located about 20 miles south of the state’s capital. None of the injuries were critical and there were no reported fatalities, according to a press release from the city. Sections of highways and roads had to be closed “mostly due to downed power lines,” the city said.
“The extent of damage will likely not be known until daylight,” the city added.
Wind gusts over 70 mph and hail measuring 1 inch in diameter were reported in Oklahoma City. Meanwhile, gusts of 114 mph were recorded in Memphis, Texas, near the state line with Oklahoma, according to the National Weather Service.
As of Monday morning, more than 120 million people across 42 U.S. states were on alert for strong winds, heavy snow, ice and avalanches. Data collected by the website PowerOutage.us shows over 220,000 customers were without power nationwide as of 7:38 ET.
The storm is the same weather system that left California buried under 84 inches of snow and flooded with more than 11 inches of rain last week. After sweeping the Great Plains on Sunday night, the fast-moving system is forecast to hit the Midwest before reaching the Northeast by Monday evening. Severe thunderstorms are possible in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and northern Kentucky on Monday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service has issued winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories for Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, where a mixture of ice and snow is in the forecast.
Areas from New York City to Boston could see 3 to 5 inches of snow on Monday night before the precipitation changes to rain. Farther north and in higher elevations, parts of New York and New England, including Connecticut, could get up to 9 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service.
Meanwhile, yet another storm is forecast to slam California and much of the West Coast, from Los Angeles to Seattle. The National Weather Service has issued a blizzard warning for northern California mountains in the Sierra Nevada range, where up to 6 feet of snow is possible. Southern California won’t get as much rain as last week but could see an additional 2 to 3 inches. Heavy snow is also expected in the Rocky Mountains this week, with a potential 12 to 24 inches from Idaho to Arizona.

(NEW YORK) — Growing rates of obesity are contributing to more heart disease risks during and after pregnancy, experts warn.
People with obesity are more at risk of potentially lethal pregnancy complications like diabetes, hypertension, and pre-eclampsia. Those conditions increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, according to a recent report from the American Heart Association — a major concern, because heart disease is already the leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths.
“When comparing heart disease and poor pregnancy outcomes in women, we notice that obesity is a link,” Dr. Sadiya Khan, lead author of the paper and assistant professor of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, told ABC News.
Obesity is an inflammatory condition that can damage blood vessels and make cells resistant to insulin, experts say. This ultimately contributes to the development of diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
Obesity mixed with the expected hormonal changes during pregnancy, creates a perfect storm that can be detrimental to the pregnant person and baby, Khan says. The combination of changes from obesity and changes from pregnancy can lead to gestational diabetes, for example, she says.
Obesity is also linked to abnormal development of the placenta, research shows. That can increase the risk of pre-eclampsia, a complication characterized by high blood pressure and organ damage.
Regardless of weight, high blood pressure or diabetes during pregnancy can go away after delivery. However, people who had those conditions during pregnancy still have a higher chance of getting heart disease in their lifetime, research shows.
One study, published earlier this month, found pregnant people who had high blood pressure, diabetes, pre-eclampsia, a premature birth, or delivered a small baby were at risk of developing heart disease up to 46 years after delivery.
“There are two potential reasons that these complications during pregnancy cause heart disease long term, ” Khan said. “Either the complication itself directly induces heart disease, or the complication is a reflection of someone’s underlying risk.”
Not everyone is equally at risk. Black women have a disproportionate risk of complications during pregnancy, like preeclampsia. Black women also have significantly higher rates of pregnancy-related death than white women in the United States, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“There is a growing awareness of the black maternal mortality crisis,” Dr. Natalie Bello, Director of Hypertension research at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Co-Chair of the American College of Cardiology Reproductive and Cardio-Obstetrics Section, told ABC News. “We need to address the issues surrounding social and systemic barriers these women are faced with.”
Screening and treating people for cardiac complications during pregnancy — whether they have obesity or not — can help reduce long-term risks, Bello says. In addition, anyone who has a complication during pregnancy should be monitored for heart disease, she says.
“Pregnancy may be the only time someone gets medical care,” Bello said. “At that point they may not realize they carry a large risk, like obesity, for heart disease and complications during their pregnancy, so it is best to be screened early on in life to protect them during pregnancy and across the lifespan for their and their family’s heart health.”
With heart disease being the leading cause of death in women year after year, experts agree that lifestyle intervention during their entire life course needs to be the main driver to help reduce these unfavorable statistics.
“Blood pressure screening, a healthy weight, good sleep hygiene, are some examples someone can take to assure they are at a good place in regards to their heart health,” Bello said. “The next steps would be to check how to maintain these healthy parameters so they can go into their pregnancy heart healthy for themselves and their baby.”

(HONG KONG) — Four family members including the ex-husband of murdered Hong Kong socialite influencer Abby Choi appeared in court on Monday, in a horrific case that has stunned the city.
On Sunday police said they discovered remains that are believed to belong to the 28-year-old. The remains were found in a large soup pot, her body parts appearing to have been cooked along with “green radishes and carrots,” police said.
Police said the skull retrieved had a “small hole” in it, indicating that it could be evidence of a “fatal attack.” The skull and ribs were found in the same house where Choi’s limbs were discovered in a fridge on Friday, police said.
Police also uncovered a meat grinder, electric saw, face shields and a pink designer bag at the location.
Choi’s ex-husband, 28-year-old Alex Kwong, his father, a former police officer, and older brother were charged with murder on Sunday. Kwong’s mother was charged with perverting the course of justice. All of them were denied bail. Their hearing has been adjourned until May 8.
After brief citywide manhunt, Alex Kwong was arrested on a pier Saturday appearing to be trying to flee Hong Kong by boat, police said. He was allegedly carrying around $60,000 in cash and a collection of luxury watches.
Choi went missing on Wednesday. Police said Choi had financial disagreements with her ex-husband’s family, adding that those relatives had slowed the investigation by giving misleading information.
Local media reported that after Choi and her ex-husband separated, she remarried into a wealthy family that owned a local eatery empire. Choi, however, continued to support her ex-husband and in-laws, housing them in a luxurious condo worth a reported $9.2 million. The financial dispute reportedly centered around the ownership of the condo.
Choi shared glamorous photos and videos of her life with her Instagram following of around 100,000 and enjoyed some international success as an influencer. Recent posts include photos from this year’s Paris Fashion Week. Earlier posts include photos alongside Grammy-winning musician Pharrell Williams.
Last month she appeared on the digital cover of L’Officiel Monaco magazine, which described her as a “style icon and media personality who took the world by storm with her impeccable sense of style and her unbridled passion for fashion.”
Choi leaves behind four children, two from her ex-husband.
Hong Kong, which has a low crime rate, has a curious history of gruesome murders.
In 2014, banker Rurik Jutting tortured and brutally murdered two Indonesian women during a cocaine-fuelled binge in his upscale apartment.
In 2003, American expatriate Nancy Kissel was coined the “Milkshake Murderer” for bludgeoning her husband to death after incapacitating him with a strawberry milkshake laced with sedatives.
In the “Hello Kitty case” of 1999, Fan Man-Yee was held captive and killed by three men and a girl. Her body was decapitated and placed inside a Hello Kitty pillow.
(EAST PALESTINE, Ohio) — Joint teams from multiple federal agencies have started canvassing homes in a tiny Ohio village upended by a hazardous train derailment to help provide support for affected residents.
Interagency teams from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began the door-to-door outreach in East Palestine, Ohio, on Saturday. The teams are “equipped with the most up-to-date and accurate information, meeting impacted residents where they are in order to better connect them with resources from government and non-profit organizations, gather situational awareness about ongoing concerns and identify any unmet needs,” according to a joint press release.
As of Sunday afternoon, the teams have had “more than 350 interactions” with East Palestine residents, answering questions and distributing information, according to FEMA Region 5 Administrator Tom Sivak. FEMA also has 49 personnel on the ground to support the larger federal effort, Sivak said.
“We understand residents have a lot of questions and we will continue to ramp up our efforts to provide information needed so families can begin to feel safe again in the community,” Sivak told reporters during a Sunday afternoon press conference.
“Every disaster is different and we want to hear from the impacted residents. We want to hear your concerns, your needs and your worries,” he added. “And we will work with you to match you with the assistance you need.”
A source familiar with the federal interagency outreach told ABC News that it’s essentially a concerted effort to ensure the community has awareness of and access to all of the resources available to them.
On the night of Feb. 3, about 50 cars of a freight train operated by Norfolk Southern derailed in a fiery crash on the outskirts of East Palestine, which is nestled near Ohio’s state line with Pennsylvania. Eleven of the derailed cars were transporting hazardous materials, five of which contained vinyl chloride, a highly volatile colorless gas produced for commercial uses. Several cars were also carrying ethyl acrylate and isobutylene, which are considered to be very toxic and possibly carcinogenic. There were no injuries reported from the accident, according to officials.
Efforts to contain a fire at the derailment site stalled the following night, as firefighters withdrew from the blaze due to concerns about air quality and explosions. About half of East Palestine’s roughly 4,700 residents were warned to leave before officials decided on Feb. 6 to conduct a controlled release and burn of the toxic vinyl chloride from the five tanker cars, which were in danger of exploding. A large ball of fire and a plume of black smoke filled with contaminants could be seen billowing high into the sky from the smoldering derailment site as the controlled burn took place that afternoon, prompting concerns from residents about the potential effects.
A mandatory evacuation order for homes and businesses within a one-mile radius of the derailment site was lifted on Feb. 8, after air and water samples taken the day before were deemed safe, officials said.
FEMA deployed a team to East Palestine on Feb. 18 to help support the ongoing operations there.
On Feb. 23, the National Transportation Safety Board released preliminary findings from its ongoing investigation into the Feb. 3 derailment. The NTSB report reads, in part: “Surveillance video from a local residence showed what appeared to be a wheel bearing in the final stage of overheat failure moments before the derailment. The wheel bearing and affected wheelset have been collected as evidence and will be examined by the NTSB.” During a press conference, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy called the derailment “100% preventable” and said it was “no accident.”
U.S. EPA Administrator Michael Regan announced on Feb. 21 that his agency is ordering Norfolk Southern “to conduct all necessary actions associated with the cleanup from the East Palestine train derailment.” The Atlanta-based rail operator will be required to continue cleaning up the contaminated soil and water and transport it safely; reimburse the EPA for cleaning services; and attend public meetings at the EPA’s request and share information. If Norfolk Southern does not comply, the company will be ordered to pay triple the cost, according to Regan.
As of Feb. 22, Norfolk Southern said it has excavated more than 4,800 cubic yards of soil — “or approximately 400 truckloads” — from the derailment site. In addition, 1.7 million gallons of liquid — “or approximately 200 tanker loads” — have been collected for disposal, according to the company. Norfolk Southern has not said which chemicals were found in the material that was removed.
The office of Ohio Gov. Mike Dewine announced on Feb. 25 that the removal of hazardous waste from the derailment site has been paused by the U.S. EPA. After learning that “Norfolk Southern had chosen to contract with licensed hazardous waste treatment and disposal facilities in Texas and Michigan,” the U.S. EPA “ordered the transport be stopped so that additional oversight measures could be put in place to supervise where Norfolk Southern disposes of the contaminated materials,” according to a press release from DeWine’s office. Of the 20 truckloads — or approximately 280 tons — of hazardous solid waste hauled away from the derailment site, 15 truckloads of contaminated soil had already been disposed of at the Michigan facility. Five truckloads of contaminated soil were returned to East Palestine, the governor’s office said.
The Texas facility “will dispose of liquid waste that has already been trucked out of East Palestine,” DeWine’s office said, but will not accept any additional liquid waste from the derailment site “at this time.” Currently, about 102,000 gallons of liquid waste and 4,500 cubic yards of solid waste remain in storage on site in East Palestine, not including the five truckloads returned to the village. Additional solid and liquid wastes are being generated as the cleanup progresses, according to the governor’s office.
DeWine’s office said the U.S. EPA has conducted indoor air testing at a total of 574 homes in East Palestine and no contaminants associated with the Feb. 3 derailment have been detected. Meanwhile, outdoor air monitoring remains ongoing with 15 air monitors in the area, which similarly have not yet detected any contaminants associated with the incident.
The Ohio EPA will continue to test East Palestine’s municipal water supply once a week “out of an abundance of caution” to ensure it is safe to drink, the governor’s office said. While the majority of homes in the area get drinking water from the municipal supply, some get theirs from private wells. The Columbiana County General Health District has received verified laboratory results from 12 private water systems that were sampled between Feb. 10 and 14. Of those, eight showed no detectable contaminants while three had trace detections at levels well below safe drinking water standards. There was no evidence linking those trace detections to the Feb. 3 derailment. To date, the Columbiana County General Health District has sampled 119 private wells in the East Palestine area, with the final testing results pending, according to DeWine’s office.
The governor’s office said residents whose drinking water is sourced from private wells should continue drinking bottled water until the testing results are returned. Officials have underscored that those who get their drinking water from private wells should get it tested, especially since those wells may be closer to the surface than municipal water wells and thus potentially easier for any contaminants to seep into.

(ATLANTA) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a health advisory Friday about an increase in an antibiotic-resistant strain of the Shigella bacteria.
Shigella is highly infectious and causes around 450,000 infections in the U.S. every year, according to the CDC.
Shigella is transmitted in several ways, including changing the diaper of a sick infant, by getting the bacteria on your hands and then touching your mouth, through sexual contact or by contaminated food and water, the CDC said in its advisory.
Usually, people recover without treatment, but those with severe cases or with underlying conditions that weaken the immune system may need to be treated with antibiotics.
The bacteria is easily transmissible and there are few antimicrobial treatment options for medical staff treating patients with the drug-resistant XDR strain of Shigella, according to the CDC, which prompted the warning.
The agency has asked health care professionals to be alert about suspecting and reporting cases of the XDR variant of Shigella to local and state health departments “given these potentially serious public health concerns.”
Last year, 5% of Shigella infections reported to the CDC were caused by the XDR strain of the bacteria. In 2015, there weren’t any infections from the XDR strain reported to the public health agency.
The increase in antimicrobial-resistant Shigella infections is primarily among men who have sex with men, people experiencing homelessness, international travelers and people living with HIV, the CDC reported.
The CDC said that health care staff should also educate their patients and communities who are most at risk of infection about prevention and how it is spread.

Rep. Cori Bush, D-Missouri, left, told ABC’s Devin Dwyer, right, she believes her state does not have legal standing to challenge the Biden administration’s student debt forgiveness plan in federal court because it is not directly harmed. — ABC News
(WASHINGTON) — Critics of the Biden administration’s plan to cancel federal student loan debt for more than 40 million Americans say it’s expensive, unfair and an abuse of executive power.
But when a group of six GOP-led states on Tuesday challenges the program before the U.S. Supreme Court, they’ll have to first answer the critical question of how, exactly, they are harmed.
“You can’t just go to the court and say I don’t like this, or I think this might be a problem,” said David Nahmias, a staff attorney with the Berkeley Center for Consumer Law and Economic Justice. “In order to sue, you have to show that you are going to be threatened with a certain impending injury.”
The states have alleged a future financial injury from lost revenue on student-loan discharges; fewer loans on the books, they say, would mean fewer taxes to collect.
The state of Missouri argues that it would be uniquely harmed by the impact of large-scale debt cancellation on Missouri’s Higher Education Loan Authority, or MOHELA, which is the nation’s largest loan servicer.
The Biden administration says the states’ claims are highly speculative and indirect, undermining their legal standing to bring the case in the first place.
“The basic threshold issue is, is Missouri, is Nebraska – are these states injured today?” said South Texas College of Law professor Josh Blackman.
Lower courts and legal scholars from across the ideological spectrum have divided on the question of injury, setting the stage for the justices to have the final say on whether the Biden debt relief plan inflicts clear harm on state governments.
“The answer is tricky because in recent years the states have been given latitude,” said Blackman. “This might be a case of the court scaling back on that broad authority, although I’m not sure.”
The U.S. Education Department last year, citing a need to protect borrowers from excessive economic hardship during the pandemic, invoked emergency powers to waive repayment terms for some federal student loans. The agency offered to absolve as much as $20,000 of federal debt for more than 40 million eligible borrowers.
The move drew an immediate legal challenge from Republican attorneys general in six states — Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Carolina — who saw it as a costly bailout to college students at the expense of other American taxpayers.
“Joe Biden had no legal authority whatsoever. I think the larger issue is it’s unfair to people who paid off their loans. It’s unfair to people who didn’t take out loans,” Sen. Eric Schmitt, Missouri’s Republican former attorney general who first brought the case, told ABC News in an interview.
“It’s adding to our debt,” Schmitt added. “I think the reason why this case is before the Supreme Court and why Missouri and the other states are ultimately going to win is because Missouri has a loan servicing organization called MOHELA that derives revenue from interest.”
MOHELA, a state-created company which manages more than 5 million federal student loan accounts totaling $148 billion, is at the heart of Missouri’s case and what the federal appeals court singled out as a lynchpin in their decision.
The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals based in St. Louis, which put the Biden debt relief plan on hold last year, cited “threatened financial harm” to Missouri explicitly because of its ties to MOHELA.
MOHELA has contributed $6 million to state student aid programs in the current fiscal year, a spokeswoman for the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development told ABC.
State law also requires MOHELA to pay $350 million to help fund improvements to state colleges and universities.
“The court has identified it as a public entity that administers student loans. It provides college assistance programs for people across the state of Missouri and so the state has an interest in it,” MIssouri’s new attorney general Andrew Bailey told ABC in an interview.
But liberal and conservative legal scholars say financial fallout from a MOHELA-Missouri link is too weak and speculative to justify the states’ Supreme Court case.
“The relationship between Missouri and MOHELA, as our research has shown, in the law that created MOHELA, is such that harm just cannot, cannot happen,” said Nahmias, who filed an amicus brief in the case on behalf of Missouri consumer advocates.
“MOHELA is completely separate and distinct from the state of Missouri. Its operations are distinct from Missouri. Its treasury and finances are completely walled off from the Missouri treasury,” he said.
MOHELA, which did not respond to our repeated requests for comment or an interview, is notably not challenging the Biden loan forgiveness plan.
Missouri Rep. Cori Bush says the company is being used as a pawn and that allegations fewer MOHELA-serviced loans would financially harm her state is exaggerated.
“The money that [MOHELA is] supposed to be paying to the state – again, they owe over, what, about $105 million – they have not kept that up,” Bush said in an interview. “So to say that you have borrowers who need to pay what they owe. Well, MOHELA does not pay what they owe.”
MOHELA financial records reviewed by ABC News confirm the loan servicer has not made a payment to the state fund for higher education capital improvements since 2008 and may not make any future payments – even if the Biden debt relief plan is struck down.
“The states have shown no link between debt cancellation and the effect of debt cancellation on MOHELA’s effect to even pay into the fund, even if they wanted to,” said Nahmias.
Asked about MOHELA’s lack of contributions, Attorney General Bailey said it’s “an issue that the [Supreme] Court is going to have to sort out.”
“The Fifth Circuit [U.S. Court of Appeals] sided with us on this issue, and so we’re optimistic about our chances at the U.S. Supreme Court,” he said.
Some top conservative legal scholars, however, have warned the justices in court filings that – while they don’t like the debt cancellation plan – allowing Missouri to challenge it could set a dangerous precedent.
“If these states are granted standing here, it could lead to far broader ability of the states to haul the federal government into court,” Blackman said.
It’s a high-stakes decision that many say will turn on whether the justices believe debt relief for millions of Americans hurts MOHELA, which in turn hurts Missouri.
“The court may very well say, look, no money’s been paid out [by MOHELA] in a very long time. This is too speculative of an injury,” Blackman said. “Or, the court could say the chance that even $1 might be paid at some point in the future might be enough” to establish harm.
Meantime, many of nearly half a million Missourians with federal student loans who applied for relief under the Biden plan are watching the case with anticipation.
“I spend a lot of time worrying about how I’m going to pay that money back,” said Anna Bain, a sophomore journalism major at the University of Missouri-Columbia, holding $12,000 in student debt.
“The soaring costs of higher education these days is so insane and so unacceptable for so many people,” Bain said. “I think that everyone has a right to say how their taxes are being spent. But I feel like taxes are for the greater good and this is for the greater good.”
