Keeping a positive body image, Princess Diana’s letters, potty humor: Catch up on the day’s stories
CNN
CNN’s 5 Things PM brings you the stories you might have missed during your busy day.
👋 Welcome to 5 Things PM! After several weeks of troubleshooting, Boeing and NASA said they may have found the “root cause” of the Starliner spacecraft’s issues. Meanwhile, astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams remain in limbo after 50 days in space. Here’s what else you might have missed during your busy day: 1️⃣ Body image: You’ll probably watch the Olympics while lounging on your couch with a snack in hand. One thing you should not do is shame yourself about your fitness and body image while marveling at the world’s top athletes. It’s unhealthy and unrealistic, experts say. But you can be inspired by them. 2️⃣ Parental leave: Some countries provide a generous amount of time off for new parents. In the US, workers are not entitled to any paid days off by federal law. A reality show star — and new dad — said the American approach needs a makeover. 3️⃣ Royal writing: Princess Diana’s letters to her family’s former housekeeper are going on sale at auction. They offer insight into her private life, including wedding preparations to then-Prince Charles and details of Harry and William’s childhood relationship. 4️⃣ Hair discrimination: Puerto Rico’s governor signed a law that prohibits discrimination against people wearing Afros, curls, locs, twists, braids and other hairstyles in the racially diverse US territory. Supporters hailed the move as “a victory for generations to come.”

The CIA has sent the White House an unclassified email listing all new hires that have been with the agency for two years or less in an effort to comply with an executive order to downsize the federal workforce, according to three sources familiar with the matter – a deeply unorthodox move that could potentially expose the identities of those officers to foreign government hackers.

Trump administration officials are hurrying to catch up to the president’s audacious and improbable plan for the United States to take ownership of Gaza and redevelop it into a “Middle Eastern Riviera,” trying to wrap their heads around an idea that some hope might be so outlandish it forces other nations to step in with their own proposals for the Palestinian enclave.
