What happened to the missing counselor from Camp Mystic in Texas?
Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman. The remains of the last missing counselor from Camp Mystic have been found by a search and recovery team in central Texas, where at least 128 people have died and 160 people remain missing. Sally Runda of Texas Public Radio reports that Counselor Catherine Ferruzzo died in the July 4 floods, along with at least 28 others from the all-girls camp on the Guadalupe River.
A growing makeshift memorial sits on Kerrville's Water Street, a few hundred feet away from the river. One of the many pictures on the flower-covered chain link fence is that of 19-year-old Catherine Ferruzzo. In a statement, the Ferruzzo family said her remains were found on Friday and they thanked the search and rescue team. She was a recent graduate of Memorial High School in the Houston area and had planned to attend the University of Texas at Austin and eventually become a special education teacher. The family says it's launching a foundation in her name for those with special needs and learning differences. I'm Celia Aranda in Carville, Texas.
A flood watch, meanwhile, is in effect for the Texas Hill Country until Sunday night. The South Rim Fire in western Colorado has now reached more than 3,000 acres in size. It's threatening the Bostwick Park community in Montrose, and it has forced the closing of Black Canyon to the Gunnison National Park.
Why are Democrats criticizing conditions at the new Everglades Immigration Center?
That fire is so far completely uncontained. There's more controversy surrounding the new Everglades Immigration Center. A bipartisan group of Congress members toured the facility on Saturday. Afterward, Republicans said they saw a clean and well-run facility. But Democrats disagreed. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida says the diet for detainees is not healthy.
The portions available for employees, large pieces of roast chicken, large sausages, and the detainees' lunches were a small portion you know, to gray turkey and cheese sandwich and apple and chips.
Democrats also said conditions in the facility were crowded, unsanitary and bug infested. Palestinian health officials say Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank have killed a Palestinian U.S. citizen. MPR's Hadil Al-Shalchi reports from Tel Aviv.
How did the death of a U.S. citizen in the West Bank spark diplomatic concerns?
21-year-old Saifullah Mislit was born in Florida and visiting family in the occupied West Bank. Israeli settlers beat him to death in the village of Sinjil, according to a municipality official. A U.S. embassy spokesperson confirmed Mislit's death. The Israeli military said that a confrontation broke out between Palestinians and Israelis there. and it was investigating reports of a Palestinian civilian killed. Israeli officials rarely prosecute offenders, and when they do, a very small percentage end in conviction. In April, a 14-year-old Palestinian American was killed by Israeli forces in Turmus Aya. Family members said there has been no action taken by the U.S. government. Hadil Al-Shalchi, NPR News, Tel Aviv.

What is the scale and impact of Russia’s latest bombing campaign on Ukraine?
Russia is intensifying its bombing campaign on Ukraine. It sent hundreds of drones and missiles Friday night and Saturday morning aimed at many regions of the country. Officials in Ukraine say at least six people were killed in the attack and dozens of others were wounded. Ukraine's Air Force says it intercepted or jammed most of the almost 600 drones and cruise missiles launched by Russia. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries continues to rail against sweeping Medicaid cuts in the recently passed Trump budget bill. As the Gulf State's newsroom's Drew Hawkins reports, Jeffries says more hospitals and clinics will struggle to treat the uninsured.
Speaking at Crescent Care, a federally qualified health center in New Orleans, Jeffries said the newly signed law represents a massive rollback of public health coverage.
The one big ugly bill that has been jammed down the throats of of the American people represents the largest assault on Medicaid and health care in American history.
The law includes over a trillion dollars in health care cuts. Nationally, 17 million people could lose coverage.
