(The Center Square) - A 15-year-old was in custody Monday, charged with suspicion of assault and firearms violations following the shooting deaths of three people at the Seattle Center Sunday night. Officials said a 19-year-old was died following a shootout, and two other bystanders, a 44-year-old man and a 56-year-old woman, were also killed, at the Bite of Seattle food festival, officials said Monday afternoon. “At this point we believe this could be gang related,” said Assistant Seattle Police Chief Nicole Powell, who is leading the investigation, at a late Monday afternoon press conference. Officials said the deceased 19-year-old, Junior Cee Niko Semo, was likely known by the 15-year-old in custody. Powell said detectives are still reviewing videos from buildings in the Seattle Center area to help determine more details of what happened. Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said a suspect was still on the loose during the press conference. While information was scant at the afternoon press conference, court documents present a slightly more detailed picture. They show that King County Superior Court Judge Tanya L. Thorp ordered the 15-year-old youth to remain in secure detention until Monday afternoon after determining there was probable cause to hold him on three counts of first-degree assault and one count of second-degree illegal firearm possession. A Seattle Police report filed with the court showed that a police sergeant responded to immediate gunfire around 6 p..m. Sunday at the food festival to find the 15-year-old teenage boy actively firing a handgun into a crowd less than 100 feet away. The officer immediately took the juvenile into custody and recovered the handgun, the report said. In the direction where the suspect had been pointing his weapon, officers discovered three wounded victims, including an individual who was riding a bicycle at the time of the shooting, the report said. Several others were also injured, including a 2-year-old who remains in satisfactory condition in Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. One individual was treated on the scene of the food festival. The other three, a 23-year-old man, a 27-year-old man, and a 39-year-old woman, were treated and discharged from the hospital. The shooting happened on the last day of the three-day food festival, causing a rush of visitors to quickly leave the grounds of the 74-acre Seattle Center, site of the Space Needle and 1962 World’s Fair. The festival is one of Seattle's most popular and attracts around 300,000 people over the course of three days. Wilson and Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes said at Monday’s morning news conference that the shooting highlighted the need to address gun violence in the city. Barnes said gun violence in Seattle was mostly caused by small groups of people. He cited data that 52% of gun violence was committed by 0.01% of the population, many of whom are young people. “We understand that people are angry,” Barnes said. “You should be. Everyone should be angry, but with that anger you should also be asking yourself what can I do to prevent this.” Wilson made her statement about gun violence Monday afternoon. “This is weighing on all of us right now, certainly weighing on me,” she said. “I also want to recognize that we’ve had a number of tragic incidents of gun violence this year and all of them, I take very seriously. I think everyone deserves to be safe in our city, in our neighborhoods, in all of our public space.” Several Seattle City Council members also released statements regarding the shooting on Monday. “South Seattle is home to the highest levels of youth gun violence in the city — we know what we need to do," wrote City Councilmember Eddie Lin. "We must invest our time and resources with an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ approach." Councilmember Maritza Rivera wrote, “This type of senseless gun violence is why I feel so strongly that the City of Seattle needs to take more aggressive action and partner with the National Network for Safe Communities, at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. The NNSC offers a proven, collaborative approach to reducing gun violence in major cities, like Seattle." Councilmember Bob Kettle wrote, "In the face of this tragedy, we must fully commit to a comprehensive approach to strengthening public safety across our city. I’ll continue to prioritize and drive this critical work within the Public Safety Committee, and I strongly urge the Wilson administration to partner in this effort. Only by working together can we build a safer Seattle.” The shooting has also renewed the controversy over security crime cameras in the city. Wilson first revealed Monday afternoon that cameras at the Seattle Center were being checked to help with the investigation. But Wilson, in response to reporters’ questions Monday, again expressed concern about the use of the cameras in general, saying she was “balancing different kinds of safety.” The mayor deactivated cameras around Lumen Field after the conclusion of FIFA World Cup matches and had halted the use of other city cameras while a study is being done to examine privacy issues. Wilson previously cited the potential for federal immigration agents to use the video information in immigration actions. Wilson also defended at the morning press conference the lack of information about the shooting initially. While the incident happened at 6 p.m on Sunday, a press conference was not held until around five hours later. Wilson said the delay was so accurate information could be given to reporters. A Seattle police official said at the Sunday night press conference that the delay was occurring to make sure all officials were there. One of the attendees was Gov. Bob Ferguson. The governor’s spokesperson Brionna Aho said he was at a location within 10 minutes of Seattle Center by 9 p.m. “At approximately 10:10 p.m., the Governor received word there would be a media availability at Seattle Center. He immediately proceeded there and arrived at Seattle Center at approximately 10:30,” she said. Barnes did not attend the Sunday night press conference. He said Monday morning that he had been traveling from Dallas, where he had attended a police conference. He also was not present at the press conference on Monday afternoon. Wilson said that Powell was the appropriate person to be there because she was heading the investigation.

(The Center Square) – The U.S. hasn’t struck Iranian targets since Thursday, with President Donald Trump confirming the Islamic Republic is possibly interested in returning to the negotiating table. The president is set to welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on Tuesday as the two leaders are expected to discuss the current situation on Iran, as Israel has kept a low profile in recent weeks, following the U.S.-led strikes against the Islamic Republic. Trump told a rally in Michigan that “friendly talks are underway” with the Islamic Republic but warned the U.S. could still “cripple Iran with full force.” The president indicated to reporters Monday that the latest rounds of strikes, spanning 13 consecutive days, may have persuaded Iran to return to the negotiating table. “We’ve pretty much destroyed their military. They want to meet, and we’re meeting. We’ll see what happens. There’s a chance we could make a deal. Without what we did, they wouldn’t even be talking to us,” Trump told reporters. Iran publicly refuted claims it is seeking a deal on Monday. “That does not accord with our principles. Claims that Iran has requested negotiations are merely reports,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said during a press briefing carried by the semi-official Mehr news agency. President Trump appears cautious after months of back-and-forth with the Iranian regime, which eventually led to the signing of a memorandum of understanding on June 17. However, not long after the signing, Iran violated the agreement by refusing to open the Strait of Hormuz, including the targeting of commercial cargo ships. The U.S. reinstated the full naval blockade on Iranian ports, putting the squeeze on the Islamic Republic’s economy, which the Trump administration estimates is costing the country between $400 and $500 million a day in losses. Since the blockade was reinstated two weeks ago, U.S. Central Command says 17 commercial vessels have been redirected, two disabled, and an additional two boarded to “ensure compliance.” The president quashed rumors that the reason for the pause was due to a dwindling amount of American ammunition, which the president denied, but did acknowledge that the Biden administration had given a lot of ammunition to Ukraine. Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed a $1.15 trillion defense spending bill. The Pentagon claims the conflict with Iran has cost taxpayers $37.5 billion thus far. However, multiple independent analyses suggest the true cost of the conflict has surpassed $100 billion. Moody’s Analytics estimated that the war has cost American consumers and taxpayers over $100 billion when factoring in surging energy prices and military outlays. Separate assessments by independent groups, such as Brown University’s Costs of War project, also put total deployment, munitions, and operational expenses in the $100 billion to $113 billion range.

O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) pode começar a oferecer ainda este ano uma nova forma de profilaxia pré-exposição (PreP), aplicada por injeção, para a prevenção do HIV. Trata-se do medicamento carbotegravir, que impede a replicação do vírus de forma prolongada e pode ser tomado a cada dois meses.  O pedido de inclusão vai ser encaminhado pelo Ministério da Saúde à Comissão Nacional de Incorporação de Novas Tecnologias no SUS (Conitec) na semana que vem. A Conitec é um colegiado independente que precisa avaliar aspectos como o custo-benefício da oferta de novos tratamentos pelos serviços públicos, antes que eles sejam incluídos no rol do SUS.  Notícias relacionadas:Infecções e mortes por HIV caem, mas falta de recursos ameaça avanços.Pesquisa aponta lacuna entre conhecimento e uso de PrEP contra o HIV.A comissão pode recomendar ou não a inclusão, mas a decisão final cabe ao Ministério. De acordo com o Ministro da Saúde Alexandre Padilha, o governo ainda está negociando com a farmacêutica GSK, produtora do carbontegravir, o custo final do medicamento e quantas doses serão compradas, mas a empresa fez uma oferta com “preço adequado”.  “Nós vemos com muita esperança as novas tecnologias de proteção prolongada, mas exigimos que elas sejam oferecidas, sobretudo aos sistemas nacionais de saúde, com os preços adequados, não preços estratosféricos”, declarou o ministro em uma coletiva de imprensa antes da abertura do 26ª Conferência Internacional de Aids, no Rio de Janeiro.   Lenacapavir Ainda segundo Padilha, esse custo foi determinante para escolha da PreP injetável que o governo pretende oferecer. Um outro medicamento, chamado lenacapavir, concede proteção ainda mais prolongada, por seis meses, mas foi ofertado por um valor inviável, disse o ministro.   “Mesmo o Brasil se dispondo a pagar até 10 vezes o valor que foi oferecido a países similares ao nosso, como Indonésia e Tailândia, a indústria ainda disse que não pode oferecer para o sistema nacional público com esse valor. Então nós não pagaremos. Não vamos drenar o recurso dos impostos dos cidadãos brasileiros pelo interesse de lucro de uma empresa” Apesar de ter sido um dos países onde o medicamento foi testado, o Brasil ficou de fora do acordo de licenciamento voluntário assinado pela farmacêutica Gilead, que autorizou seis empresas a produzirem versões genéricas do lenacapavir para distribuição em 120 países.  A medida foi criticada por outros participantes da Conferência, incluindo o Programa Conjunto das Nações Unidas sobre HIV/AIDS (Unaids), porque o lenacapavir é considerado peça central para o fim da epidemia de Aids, e as organizações envolvidas com o tema defendem que o acesso ao medicamento seja ampliado em todo o mundo.  A farmacêutica declarou em nota que compartilha a urgência de ampliar o acesso ao lenacapavir em toda a América Latina e o Caribe, mas que “para os países fora do território de licenciamento voluntário, como o Brasil, continua buscando caminhos sustentáveis de acesso de longo prazo, alinhados às condições do mercado local e às prioridades de saúde pública” Ainda de acordo com a nota divulgada pela Gilead após as declarações dadas no evento, “o Brasil é uma das prioridades entre os países avaliados como potenciais parceiros de Fabricação”. Por isso a farmacêutica assinou um memorando de entendimento com a Fundação Oswaldo Cruz, “para explorar potenciais oportunidades de transferência de tecnologia que possam apoiar o acesso no Brasil e em toda a região.” PreP oral O Sistema Único de Saúde já oferece a PreP, mas em versão oral, sob a forma de comprimidos que precisam ser tomados diariamente. Mais de 350 mil pessoas já tiveram acesso ao medicamento que também tem eficácia comprovada. A principal vantagem da Prep injetável sobre a versão oral é a adesão ao tratamento, já que os comprimidos precisam ser tomados todos os dias para garantir seu efeito. Estudo da Fiocruz, feito com 1,4 mil pessoas, em seis cidades brasileiras, mostrou que 83% delas preferiram a injeção.  Além disso, 94% dos participantes compareceram ao serviço de saúde para tomar as injeções no prazo correto, o que garantiu que elas permanecessem protegidas ao longo do tratamento. Nenhum deles foi infectado pelo vírus. Outro estudo de vida real divulgado pelas farmacêuticas ViiV Healthcare  e GSK, que desenvolveram o medicamento, demonstrou alta eficácia, com taxa anual de infecção pelo HIV de apenas 0,1%.
