Trump-Faced Ecstasy Pills Spark Dutch Red Alert

The Dutch Trimbos Institute issued a Red Alert after Trump-shaped ecstasy pills were found to contain PMMA, a slower-acting MDMA-like drug. The warning, backed by images of the pills and notes on their colors, says the delay in effects can lead users to take more and overdose, and urges: “Absolutely do not use these pills.” No severe illnesses or deaths have been reported yet, though ecstasy remains illegal in the Netherlands and is common at clubs and festivals.

Heat Wave Sweeps Across China, Breaking Records and Prompting Warnings.

Beijing and parts of northern China are experiencing record temperatures, with authorities urging people to limit their time outdoors. The current heat wave has been caused by warm air masses associated with high-pressure ridges in the atmosphere and compounded by thin cloud covers and long daylight hours around the summer solstice. Other countries in Asia have experienced deadly heat waves in recent weeks, which scientists say are aggravated by rising global temperatures, caused partly by the burning of fossil fuels.
