Halsey brought the ’80s to New York City when they took over the Governors Ballstage over the weekend. The Grammy nominee decided to include Kate Bush‘s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)” in their set, which drove the crowd wild.
Bush’s 1985 hit is enjoying a renaissance after Netflix’s Stranger Things featured it in its newest season, which has sparked countless memes, TikTok videos and more. The song is shooting up the Billboard Hot 100 and exploded in popularity across major streaming services. Now it’s also being covered by some of today’s top artists.
Fans captured video of Halsey’s weekend set, and the “Without Me” singer shared it onto their Twitter. Not only that, Halsey revealed just how much they love the nearly 40-year-old hit.
“Truly wish I wrote this song more than anything in the world,” Halsey wrote. “I’m soooo happy it’s having this resurgence. I knew immediately I wanted to do this.”
Some fans are also urging Halsey to officially release a cover of the song.
Bush’s “Running Up That Hill”peaked at number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 1985. Thanks to Stranger Things, the song has re-entered the music charts and now rests at number eight, becoming just the eighth song in Billboard Hot 100 history to make it into the top 10 upon a return to the chart.
(NEW YORK) — Some of the most important water sources in the Western U.S. are drying up as a decades-long megadrought continues to intensify and temperatures steadily rise as a result of climate change.
And as the commodity becomes more precious, residents could soon see an uptick in their water bills, experts tell ABC News.
Water levels have gotten so low in Lake Mead, the nation’s largest reservoir, that human remains have been discovered among the receding waters. The Colorado River, a major freshwater source for more 40 million people in seven southwestern U.S. states and parts of northern Mexico, has lost 20% of its water levels over the past 22 years, making it the most endangered river in the country.
As global temperatures continue to rise, causing the drought conditions in the West to persist, ensuring an ample supply of water to sustain communities will continue to be a challenge, experts say. Temperatures are currently at the hottest the planet has experienced in the past 2,000 years, according to NASA.
The first step in conserving water is for water utility companies to implement drought plans in stages, the first being asking for voluntary restraint by residents, Ed Osann, director of national water use efficiency for the nonprofit Natural Resources Defense Council, told ABC News.
Calls for cutbacks on household water usage are getting louder. Last month, California Gov. Gavin Newsom implored the state’s largest water suppliers to combat drought and better engage their customers to ensure all Californians are doing their part to save water. Beginning June 1, Los Angeles residents were limited to two-days-per-week outdoor watering schedules.
On Thursday, the city of San Diego implemented new water-saving restrictions, which include prohibiting irrigation during and within 48 hours of a rain event and prohibiting the washing of vehicles at residences, although washing is still permitted at commercial car washes.
The conservation actions are part of Level 2 of the water shortage contingency plan that all urban water suppliers must implement, following Newsom’s announcement on May 23. But, the repeated warnings in recent months do not seem to be resonating. In coastal Southern California, water use had increased by more than 25% in April, according to data released last week by the California State Water Resources Control Board, the Los Angeles Times reported.
If those calls for conservation continue to go unheeded, utility companies could have no choice by to raise the rates of water, Newsha Ajami, hydrologist and director of urban water policy for Stanford University’s Water in the West initiative, told ABC News.
Water prices have been rising steadily for the past 20 years, Osann said.
But, water is still “underpriced and undervalued,” Ajami said, adding that the increase in cost could prove to be the most effective deterrent for using an excess of water. With more than 85% of the West experiencing drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, officials can not continue to hope for such conditions to dissipate, year after year, she said.
Ajami described the current water sector as “antiquated in many ways,” because the business models, many implemented in the 1900s, were created “during a different time, under a different reality.” A time when there was not only a lot more water, but when decision-makers had a “very limiting understanding” of the consequences of the laws and infrastructures they were creating, Ajami said.
“We build all these dams and infrastructure, assuming the hydroclimatic conditions would withhold, right?” Ajami said. But the water authorities of the past did not foresee droughts that continued for decades on end, she added.
This is why before water utility companies begin to raise rates, they need to “figure out how we create a business model that is sustainable in this day and age,” Ajami said.
“Because if we don’t do that, by raising rates and not having the right business model in place, we can actually leave some people behind,” she said.
Raising water rates is especially controversial for low-income communities, who may not be able to afford the most water-efficient appliances, such as dishwashers and washing machines, Pablo Ortiz, climate and waters scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, told ABC News. Rate increases, and whether there are programs available to help those who cannot afford their bills, will vary among utility companies, the experts said.
Another concern for researchers, as water supplies in reservoirs are depleted, is that municipalities may return to groundwater to fulfill their water needs, Ortiz said.
“Groundwater is often used as a buffer when there is not enough available surface water,” Ortiz said, adding that California’s century-long relationship with extracting groundwater has left well levels at the lowest they have ever seen.
However, raising prices is more than a deterrent, but a way for utilities to maintain a cashflow throughout a period where there is an intentional decline in use, Osann said.
That way, utilities can ensure operations during a time when revenue is down, he added.
“That helps manage water during the drought; it helps maintain the fiscal soundness of the utility system, and it protects the customers against getting a ‘gotcha rate’ increase after a drought is over,” Osann said.

(NEW YORK) — Around 95,000 tins of baby formula arrived in the U.S. from Australia on Sunday, potentially offering relief to many families who have struggled to obtain infant formula in recent weeks.
Bubs Australia struck a deal with American grocery chains Kroger Co. and Albertsons Companies to import the formula under the fourth flight of Operation Fly Formula, the company announced.
“We extend our thanks to our retail partners, who will [endeavor] that our products quickly get to retail shelves in the States and stores in most need with the highest stock-out rates,” Bubs Founder and CEO Kristy Carr said in a statement.
Sunday’s shipment, which touched down in Los Angeles, is one of two entering the U.S this week from Bubs, with the second arriving on Thursday in Columbus, Ohio.
Both shipments combined will bring more than 4 million 8-ounce bottles, or 380,000 pounds, of baby formula on Albertsons and Kroger shelves starting on June 20.
In recent weeks, the Biden administration has pushed to restock store shelves across the country after a massive baby formula shortage forced mothers to go on social media to trade formula.
According to the White House, it has struck deals to bring nearly 128 million bottles of formula to the U.S.
“There’s nothing more stressful than the feeling you can’t get what your child needs,” President Joe Biden said during a virtual meeting with members of his administration and formula manufacturers on June 1, adding that his administration will use “every tool available” to restock shelves quickly.
Last month, Biden invoked the Defense Production Act to address the shortage so that suppliers could get necessary ingredients to formula manufacturers as fast as possible.

Jurassic World: Dominion opened in first place this weekend with an estimated $143 million domestically — just $5 million shy of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom‘s pre-pandemic opening gross four years ago.
The third and supposedly final film in the Jurassic World trilogy — which stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, as well as the original trilogy’s trio of Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill and Laura Dern — has earned $245.8 million overseas, where it opened a week ago. Dominion’s total worldwide gross currently stands at $389.1 million.
Top Gun: Maverick dropped to second place, despite earning finishing the week strong with an estimated $50 million, bringing its three-week domestic gross to $393 million.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness conjured up a third-place finish with an estimated $4.9 million haul, putting its six-week domestic box-office total at $397.8 million. The Benedict Cumberbatch-led film has fared even better internationally, where it’s collected $532.4 million. Its current worldwide total now sits at $930.2 million, making it the top-grossing global release of 2022.
Fourth place belongs to The Bob’s Burger Movie, which added an estimated $2.3 million to its three-week earnings, for a total of $27.1 million in North America. Its combined worldwide gross is $28.8 million.
Rounding out the top five is the animated comedy adventure The Bad Guys with an estimated 2.2 million. That brings its domestic haul to $91.5 million, to go along with $131.6 million overseas, for a global box-office tally of $223.1 million.
Taylor Swift is more than just a singer — she’s a director, too — and she’s opening up about the “imposter syndrome” she felt when adding that new title to her name.
During a screening of All Too Well: The Short Film at Tribeca Festival in New York City, the pop star, 32, shared how she became interested in working behind the camera.
“I was always curious,” she said, according to Variety. “I started to venture into the edit [for music videos] and making changes and meddling…it started with meddling.”
Swift, who wrote and directed the short film, added that she felt out of place at times.
“I had this imposter syndrome in my head saying, ‘No, you don’t do that. Other people do that who went to school to do that,'” she explained.
However, she isn’t letting her prior feelings stop her from continuing her work behind the scenes.
“It would be so fantastic to write and direct something…a feature,” she said. “I don’t see it being bigger, in terms of scale. I loved making a film that was so intimate.”
(NEW YORK) — In recent months, several strict abortion laws have been passed across the United States, banning the procedure after a certain number of weeks.
Most have limited exceptions, such as in cases of incest or rape, and some only allow abortion to “save the mother’s life.” If the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, which it seems poised to do over the summer, this could be one of the only exceptions for abortion in many places.
For example, Arizona’s 15-week ban only includes exemptions for medical emergencies when continuing with the pregnancy would “create serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function” for the mother.
And a new Oklahoma ban classifies a “medical emergency” as a condition in which an abortion “is necessary to preserve the life of a pregnant woman whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.”
Proponents of anti-abortion bills say the language is clear and is not open to interpretation.
“The exceptions definition is very clear, specific, allows for the physician’s good faith clinical judgment, and it has been upheld by the courts and is typically included in laws regulating abortion,” Arizona state Sen. Nancy Barto, a Republican who sponsored the state’s 15-week ban, told ABC News.
But doctors told ABC News the language of these laws is vague and makes it unclear what qualifies as a mother’s life being in danger, what the risk of death is, and how imminent death must be before a provider can act.
“We’ve taken the Hippocratic oath to do no harm, and these types of laws and this type of language actually do harm,” Dr. Melissa Simon, vice chair for research in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, told ABC News. “I do not — nor do my patients want me to — stop what I’m doing and think about what the judge would do: ‘Will the judge sentence me to jail if I were to perform an abortion?'”
“It sounds like it’s straightforward criteria, but it’s not in practice,” said Dr. Lisa Harris.
A professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Michigan, Harris told ABC News, “None of this is straightforward. It’s very nuanced and complex, and it’s really hard for a one-size-fits-all rule or law to generate what all patients are going to need.”
Doctors ABC News spoke with said laws that only allow exceptions to save the mother’s life will put the onus on the provider to prove the pregnant person is in danger of dying. In some states, providers could face charges.
Dr. Leilah Zahedi, a maternal-fetal medicine physician in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and a spokesperson for the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, said the anti-abortion rights laws don’t make it clear if a woman’s risk of death has to be 100% for the procedure to be performed or not.
“When I see patients, for instance, who have a major cardiac problem, a lot of the time they have a risk of a major cardiac event of up to 15% to 25%, even up to 50%,” she told ABC News. “At the moment they’re fine. But as they get further into pregnancy, that’s going to put their life more and more at risk.”
She continued, “So do I have to wait until they’re on death’s doorstep, or can I intervene at that point to prevent more harm and more damage to them?”
There are typically three categories pregnant people fall into when they need to have abortions to save their lives, doctors told ABC News.
First are people who have serious underlying conditions — such as heart disease, kidney failure and pulmonary hypertension, a type of high blood pressure that affects the lungs — before getting pregnant. Continuing pregnancies would significantly threaten their health.
The second category is those who didn’t have conditions before getting pregnant but now do, such as pre-eclampsia, a potentially dangerous pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure, or placenta accreta, which is when the placenta attaches to the uterus and potentially grows through it to other organs.
The third category includes pregnancies in which fetuses would not survive if they were born. This includes an ectopic pregnancy, which occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus.
Oklahoma state Rep. Jim Olsen, a Republican who sponsored a bill that would make it a felony to perform abortions, said Oklahoma doesn’t have specific definitions of what might constitute “lifesaving” to make sure an example isn’t missed.
“If we tried to specify as legislators exactly what qualifies and limit it only in these situations, there’s a very real possibility we could miss one … and we don’t want to inadvertently exclude something that is actually a danger to the life of the woman,” he told ABC News.
He continued, “We want to fully respect the woman’s right to life and all her rights, but at the same time, we must also respect the rights of the baby, and the baby has a right to life.”
Medical groups have argued that what qualifies as an exception is often subjective to lawmakers, but not to the physician.
“The science of medicine is not subjective, and a strongly held personal belief should never outweigh scientific evidence, override standards of medical care, or drive policy that puts a person’s health and life at risk,” the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said in a 2019 statement on abortion sometimes being “medically necessary.”
The exceptions raise concerns about timing for abortions, doctors said.
Doctors said these exceptions make it unclear whether they have to wait to perform an abortion if a pregnancy is only dangerous once it reaches later terms.
For example, Harris said a woman diagnosed with placenta accreta is not in any imminent risk of dying before 20 weeks, but the risk is greatly heightened in the later stages.
“There is a threat to their life, but it might be months away,” she said. “How imminent does that threat have to be for you to qualify for an abortion under the term ‘lifesaving’?”
Another uncertainty of these laws is what occurs when a pregnant woman is diagnosed with cancer. Women who need to undergo surgery, chemotherapy and radiation may decide they want abortions so they can begin treatment immediately, Harris said.
“The threat to the life of the patient isn’t imminent, meaning the pregnancy and illness are not life-threatening at the moment,” she said. “But if someone, for example, were to delay treatment for eight or nine months, the cancer may advance in that instance and then they have a worse cancer when they begin to treat it.”
Harris continued, “In the case of cancer, it may be that someone survived their cancer only two years as opposed to 20 years because they delayed treatment. And so that is a risk to their life if they could cut their life short.”
The death of Savita Halappanavar in Ireland prompted questions about the clarity of these exceptions.
In 2012, 17 weeks pregnant with her first child, she went to University Hospital Galway complaining of back pain.
Doctors told the 31-year-old dentist that her cervix was fully dilated and that amniotic fluid was leaking. Because of this, it was unlikely her baby would survive and a miscarriage was inevitable — but her body did not expel the fetus.
She asked if doctors could terminate the pregnancy, but they said they were forbidden to do so under Irish law because a fetal heartbeat could be detected.
“Under Irish law, if there’s no evidence of risk to the life of the mother, our hands are tied so long as there’s a fetal heart,” an OB-GYN consultant said, according to an investigation into Halappanavar’s case by the Ireland Health Service Executive, adding that “we can’t predict who is going to get an infection.”
Within days, Halappanavar developed sepsis, went into cardiac arrest and died.
The HSE investigation stated: “There is difficulty in interpretation of law in relation to ‘what constitutes a potential major hazard or threat to mother’s life.’ This needs clarification.”
Halappanavar’s death sent shockwaves throughout Ireland, spurring the Parliament to pass an updated, clarified exception to the country’s abortion ban. Six years after her death, the country voted to overturn its ban on abortion, with many voters citing Halappanavar as the reason for their vote.
Barto, of Arizona, said she does not know the specifics of the case, but believes this is a case of improper medical care rather than what can result from a denied abortion.
“I can only speculate that this woman’s tragic death should and could have been avoided with proper and timely medical care and decision-making,” Barto said. “Her family deserves someone to be held accountable.”
Simon, of the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said if doctors are not allowed to perform abortions because the procedure does not fall within the limits of a save the mother’s life exception, maternal mortality rates in the U.S. will rise.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that between 2013 and 2018, the national case-fatality rate was 0.41 abortion-related deaths per 100,000 legal abortions. Comparatively, the mortality rate was 17.35 pregnancy-related deaths among mothers per 100,000 live births.
“Abortion is extremely safe. It is a safer procedure taking an appendix out, and that’s a very common medical procedure,” Simon said. “I just can’t emphasize enough how safe these procedures are and how well-studied they are.”
She added that maternal mortality rates in the U.S. “are embarrassing enough.”
(NEW YORK) — At least seven mass shootings have occurred across the country since Friday night, making this the fourth consecutive weekend in which U.S. law enforcement officers have responded to multiple incidents involving four or more victims shot.
Shootings this weekend have left at least five people dead and 27 injured in seven cities, according to the Gun Violence Archive, a site that tracks shootings across the country. The website defines a mass shooting as a single incident involving four or more victims.
The string of consecutive weekend mass casualty incidents began over the Memorial Day holiday, when at least 17 shootings left a total of 13 dead and 79 injured in cities across the country, including Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Memphis and Chattanooga, Tenn. Last weekend, at least 11 mass shootings erupted, leaving a total of 17 dead and 62 injured across the nation.
Since a May 14 suspected racially motivated attack at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket left 10 Black people dead and 18-year-old white teenager charged with multiple counts of murder, there have been at least 63 mass shootings nationwide, an average of two per day, including the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, in which 19 students and two teachers were killed, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
Adding to the carnage, were mass-casualty shootings this weekend in New Orleans, Detroit, Louisville, Kentucky; Decatur, Georgia; Antioch, Tenn.; Gary, Indiana; and for the third straight weekend in Chicago.
The shootings this weekend came as a bipartisan group of U.S. Senators announced Sunday that they have reached agreement on the framework of a plan to curb what Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., described as “the gun violence epidemic that has plagued our country and terrorized our children for far too long.”
A man and a woman were killed and four patrons were injured when gunfire erupted early Sunday at a nightclub in Gary, Indiana, according to police.
The shooting unfolded around 2 a.m. at the Playo’s Nightclub, the Gary Police Department said in a statement.
When officers arrived at the nightclub, they found a 34-year-old man near the entrance unresponsive and suffering from gunshot wounds, authorities said. Inside the nightclub, officers discovered a 26-year-old unresponsive woman, who had also been shot, police said.
The two mortally wounded victims were taken to Methodist Hospital Northlake, where they were pronounced dead, according to police. The Lake County, Indiana, coroner’s office identified them as Jah’Nice Quinn, 26, of Merrillville, Indiana, and Jonte Dorsey, 34, of Joliet, Illinois, according to ABC station WLS-TV in Chicago.
Four other people were shot in the incident, including one who was critically injured, police said.
No arrests were announced and a motive for the shooting remained under investigation Sunday afternoon.
4 injured in New Orleans street shooting
At least four people were injured when a shooting erupted on a street in New Orleans early Sunday, authorities said.

No additional information on the shooting was released.
4 shot, 2 fatally, at Tennessee pool party
Two men were killed and two others were wounded when gunfire broke out at a pool party in suburban Nashville, Saturday night, police said.
The shooting occurred just after 10 p.m. at the Hickory Hollow Apartment complex in Antioch, Tennessee, roughly 11 miles southeast of Nashville, police said.
Police sources told ABC affiliate WKRN in Nashville that an exchange of gunfire broke out during a birthday party that was going on at the apartment complex’s swimming pool.
Officers responding to calls of shots fired found one victim, whose name was not immediately released, dead at the scene and others wounded, according to police. A victim, identified by police as 20-year-old Kalem Burford, was taken by private car to Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, where he was pronounced dead.
The two wounded victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Homicide investigators were working Sunday to identify a suspect or suspects and a motive for the shooting.
