In Port-au-Prince, ten years after Haiti's devastating earthquake, basic medical care can be almost impossible to find. But St. Boniface Hospital, in Fond-des-Blancs, has become a leading beacon for Haitian hope. For more than two million people on the island's southern peninsula, this is the only place to get an emergency C-section, and the only available neonatal intensive care unit. Jeff Glor visits to find out what makes this place work, when so many others have failed. For more information about Health Equity International, which oversees St. Boniface, go to healthequityintl.org.

It challenges you to find groups of four items that share something in common, and each group has a different difficulty level: green is easy, yellow a little harder, blue often quite tough and purple usually very difficult.On the plus side, you don't technically need to solve the final one, as you'll be able to answer that one by a process of elimination. What's more, you can make up to four mistakes, which gives you a little bit of breathing room.It's a little more involved than something like Wordle, however, and there are plenty of opportunities for the game to trip you up with tricks. For instance, watch out for homophones and other word games that could disguise the answers.It's playable for free via the NYT Games site on desktop or mobile.

It's rare that the number of new movies outweighs their new TV brethren in our weekly streaming round-ups.That's the case this time, though. There are four – that's right, four! – new films we recommend watching on the world's best streaming services this weekend (June 13 to 15). Admittedly, some of them aren't great but, hey, you can have a laugh with and/or mock them to your heart's content if nothing else.For the small-screen fans among you, there are a couple of new TV show offerings as well. So, don't worry, we haven't left you out! Here, then, is what you'll want to catch before next Monday arrives. – Tom Power, senior entertainment reporterSnow White (Disney+)Snow White is not the fairest Disney movie of them all. Not only did it have a disappointing box office run, its terrible 39% Rotten Tomatoes critics score suggests it's not worth investing in at home, either.Still, while it misses out on being part of our best Disney+ movies round-up, it's now available to watch at home. There are a lot of key differences from the original here, including Snow White's namesake and love interest, which has been met with mixed reviews.If you'd rather watch the original Oscar-winning 1937 movie, that's also streaming on Disney+ alongside plenty of the classics. Either way, you can get your fairytale fix this weekend. – Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writerWatch Snow White on Disney+Fubar season 2 (Netflix)He's back – again. Arnold Schwarzenegger's surprise Netflix TV hit Fubar has returned for its second season. After saving her daughter and fellow CIA operative last time around, Arnie's character Luke Brenner is forced to postpone his retirement once more to tackle a new threat. The villain in question? None other than Luke's former flame Greta (played by The Matrix icon Carrie-Anne Moss), which complicates matters a teeny tiny bit.Fubar isn't part of our best Netflix shows round-up right now, but only because we regularly rotate series in and out of it. If Fubar season 2 is as big of a hit as its forebear, don't be shocked if it returns to said guide in explosive fashion. – TPWatch Fubar season 2 on NetflixDeep Cover (Prime Video)The plot for one of June's new Prime Video movies Deep Cover sounds intriguing. It's about an improv comedy teacher played by Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World: Dominion) who recruits two of her students – Nick Mohammed (Ted Lasso) and Orlando Bloom (The Lord of the Rings; Pirates of the Caribbean) – to help her impersonate dangerous criminals for an undercover cop.If that sounds familiar, it’s probably because two of the British crime-comedy caper’s screenwriters (Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly) based theis Amazon film's concept on real-life New York City cops who previously used actors as decoys.Following its world premiere at SXSW London Screen Festival earlier this month, this Prime Video movie has been received well by critics (based on its Rotten Tomatoes score, anyway). That should be enough to land it a spot on our best Prime Video movies guide, then. – Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Deep Cover on Prime VideoEcho Valley (Apple TV+)Julianne Moore recently stunned me in Sirens, one of the best Netflix shows, and now she's at the helm of a new Apple TV+ movie Echo Valley.There's a seriously impressive cast here, including Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney, Fallout's Kyle MacLachlan, and Killing Eve's Fiona Shaw. The ensemble is so talented, in fact, I'm going to watch it in spite of its 59% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes.That'll prevent it from joining our best Apple TV+ movies list, but its premise – Moore plays a mom who helps her troubled daughter (Sweeney) cover up a crime – is one that appeals to me. – LBWatch Echo Valley on Apple TV+Cleaner (Max)Two British action flicks in the same week? Aren’t we lucky. Directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale; Golden Eye), this film, which has debuted on Max, has got a lot of great talent behind it.Daisy Ridley (Star Wars; Young Woman and the Sea) stars as an soldier-turned-window cleaner (yes, you read that right), who dusts off her old combat skills to single-handedly save a group of hostages from a radical group of activists that have taken over an energy juggernaut’s gala.I know I’m not alone in thinking that this sounds like Die Hard. Countless critics have said as much since reviewing the film (it was released in theaters in the US earlier this year). However, while it follows a tried-and-tested story, its mixed reviews mean it won't make the cut for our best Max movies guide. – ASWatch Cleaner on MaxTitan: The Oceangate Disaster (Netflix)I watched Titan: The OceanGate Disaster very intently and I urge everyone to do the same this weekend. I understand many might be concerned it's just another shocking documentary, but it has a lot of important insights into what actually went wrong, including from those involved in its development.For the uninitiated: in 2023, the submersible vessel known as Titan imploded, resulting in the deaths of all five passengers, including OceanGate's former CEO, Stockton Rush.This well made and, dare I say, essential documentary criticizes how many people's concerns were ignored in the build up to Titan's journey to the Titanic wreckage, and is an important reminder that companies should pay attention to the experts they employ. – LBWatch Titan: The Oceangate Disaster on NetflixRomcon: Who the F**k is Jason Porter? (Prime Video)Our second new documentary pick of the week is a true crime series about the dark side of dating.Romcon: Who the F**k is Jason Porter? is a tell-all from the victims of a prolific dating scammer based in Toronto. Real estate broker Heather Rovet explains how she fell in love with a charismatic handyman called "Jace", who she later discovers has been deceiving her. After uncovering the real identity of Jason Porter, a convicted criminal known as a romance scammer, Heather connects with other victims to bring him to justice.This isn't the first dating scammer story we've seen come to streaming, as Netflix's The Tinder Swindler had become a sensation when it was released in 2022. Expect Prime Video viewers to lap this one up in a similar fashion. – ASWatch Romcon: Who the F**k is Jason Porter? on Prime VideoFor more streaming suggestions, read our guides on the best Netflix movies, best Disney+ shows, best Prime Video shows, and best Paramount+ movies.

Nvidia’s RTX 5050 desktop GPU is rumored to have 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, slower than the rest of the Blackwell rangeIn theory, it’ll run at the same speed as the GDDR6 in AMD’s RDNA 4 GPUsWhatever the video memory spec turns out to be, Nvidia can still have a winning budget GPU if the price is pitched rightWe’re again hearing that Nvidia’s RTX 5050 desktop graphics card is nearing launch, and will be using slower video RAM than the rest of the Blackwell GPU range.In fact, according to a new rumor aired on X that VideoCardz noticed, the RTX 5050 will employ GDDR6 video RAM (rather than GDDR7 as seen elsewhere with Blackwell) running at a speed of 20Gbps. As per previous chatter, it’ll run with 8GB of this VRAM.By the way, Desktop RTX5050 uses 20Gbps GDDR6, the same as the RDNA4 family. https://t.co/Va2Qj7ZRIeJune 13, 2025This is from leaker MEGAsizeGPU, who is generally regarded as a reliable source, and further notes that this is the same speed of VRAM as seen in AMD’s RDNA 4 graphics cards (meaning the likes of the RX 9070 XT).If the grapevine is right, the RTX 5050 desktop will launch in the near future, maybe as soon as July, and it’ll probably arrive alongside the mobile variant for budget gaming laptops, too.Analysis: Pricing is key, as ever(Image credit: Pexels)At this point, the volume of RTX 5050 leaks has been pretty hefty, so much so that it’d be a surprise if Nvidia didn’t have this GPU inbound. Rumors must be carefully seasoned, naturally, but when enough of them are consistently floating around, it’s difficult to deny that they’re likely to come to pass.What’s odd about the speculation around the RTX 5050, both laptop and desktop versions, is that the various sources can’t seem to decide on the type of VRAM used. Some laptop rumors still insist the RTX 5050 mobile may get the faster GDDR7 video RAM used in other Blackwell GPUs, while the desktop theories have plumped for GDDR6. Indeed, recent laptop listings that have leaked the RTX 5050 mobile have shown both GDDR6 and GDDR7 video memory.Is it possible we could see both types of VRAM used in laptops? That seems highly unlikely, as it would be seriously confusing for consumers (not that Nvidia hasn’t done that before). We might see GDDR7 for laptops, and GDDR6 for the desktop RTX 5050; that’s certainly possible.But what I think is more likely is that Nvidia intended to use GDDR7 at some point, but changed to GDDR6, and this is what we’ll get for all models of the RTX 5050, laptop and desktop.Whatever the case, the RTX 5050 is sure to pack 8GB, as that’s the leanest amount Nvidia could possibly get away with. And while there has been a lot of complaining about 8GB being an insufficient pool of video RAM for modern gaming, remember, this is very much a budget GPU, so it’ll have a configuration oriented towards making it cheap.That is, of course, the key. While there’s been disappointment that the RTX 5050’s rumored specs make it look rather weak sauce – and this latest nugget from X hasn’t helped – if Nvidia frames that spec with attractive enough pricing, then we’ll have a winner. It really is that simple.You might also likeAMD looks like it’s losing the GPU war based on new Steam survey, with Nvidia’s RTX 5060 Ti proving itself to be popular alreadyRumored Nvidia RTX 5080 Super specs disappoint some gamers, but I don’t think there’s anything to worry about with this GPUAMD could be working on a faster RX 9070 Extreme graphics card

It's a story told hundreds of thousands of times every year across America: Women can get the job – just don't get pregnant. Even though pregnancy discrimination has been illegal under federal law for more than 40 years, pregnant women are pushed out of their jobs every day, because employers still deny accommodations to pregnant workers. Jan Crawford talks to women who have faced serious choices and sometimes tragic circumstances affecting careers and family; and with two lawmakers trying to change federal law to better protect women in the workplace.
