      US: FDA approves most expensive drug ever, costs $3.5 million-per-dose

      The Pennsylvania-based pharmaceutical company CSL Behring published the $3.5 million price tag immediately after the FDA granted its approval, claiming that the medicine would ultimately lower healthcare costs because patients would experience fewer bleeding events and require fewer clotting therapies.  The price of Hemgenix, which easily surpasses Novartis’ Zolgensma gene therapy for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which costs close to $2 million per dose and is also a single-dose medication, makes it the most expensive medication in the world, according to a study cited by the National Library of Medicine.  The cost of the new treatment, like that of the majority of American medications, will primarily be covered by insurers, not by the patient, both through private plans and public…

      ‘Bangladesh would hang her’: Shamima Begum’s lawyer says removing her citizenship has left her effectively stateless

      Asma Begum said her daughter’s bedroom in the family home has not been touched since she travelled to Syria in 2015. “My youngest daughter is even more present in my mind, the one I think about almost every hour of every day,” the mother said in a statement read at an appeal hearing against the government’s decision to strip Ms Begum, now 23, of her British citizenship. “When she left home in 2015, our worlds fell apart. Her drawers are still full, her perfume, pens and jewellery, her clothes are still there. Her pyjamas are folded neatly. “Her school blazer is still hanging on the door in the front room, just as it was when she left.” Ms Begum’s citizenship was…

      As the UK grapples with recession, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is staring at the first major rebellion of his premiership. At least 50 Conservative (Tory) members of parliament have opposed his government’s housebuilding reforms that lay the groundwork for affordable homes. Sunak was due to face the first major test of his leadership next Monday when MPs were set to vote on the flagship Levelling Up Bill and Regeneration Bill, which, among others things, stipulates mandatory, centrally-set targets to build 300,000 homes a year. However, according to media reports, over 40 rebel Tory MPs led by former cabinet minister Theresa Villiers signed an amendment to scrap mandatory local housing targets and make them advisory only.

      Pakistan Army chief, not PM control decision-making on ties with India

      Former Pakistan Prime Min­ister Imran Khan’s return to power, or not, will not have much impact on the future of Washington-Islamabad relations as such decisions in the South Asian nation are taken by the army chief, not the Prime Minister. This view was expressed at a Monday evening seminar in the US capital, Dawn news reported. “I don’t think the future of US-Pakistan relations hinges on who will be the PM in Pakistan… more important is who will be the chief of army staff,” said Lisa Curtis, who looked after South and Central Asian affairs at the Trump White House, adding it was the army that controlled decision-making on issues important to the US, such as the nuclear programme, Pakistan’s…
