💧 What record-low water levels at the Hoover Dam reservoir look like from space
The US’ largest water reservoir, Lake Mead at the Hoover Dam, is in very, very bad shape. How bad is it? New satellite images from NASA show just how much the reservoir’s footprint has shrunk over the past two decades — and the difference between July 2000 and July 2022 is stark.
Water levels at Lake Mead are at a historic low — the reservoir hasn’t been this empty since 1937 when it was being filled for the first time. It’s currently at just 27% capacity. The dam typically provides power to 1.3 million people in Nevada, Arizona and California.
Last year, officials declared a water shortage there, marking the first time such a declaration had ever been made along the Colorado River system.

🛢 Russian oil exports to Europe are being replaced by crude from the Middle East
Europe has imported more than 1 million barrels per day via the SuMed pipeline in the first three weeks of July, nearly double from a year ago. The volumes in the pipeline, which transits through Egypt, are mostly Saudi oil but also include Iraqi crude.
In addition, ships carrying another 1.2 million barrels a day from the Persian Gulf, mostly from Iraq, have gone through the Suez Canal to Europe. That means oil deliveries via pipeline and ship from the Middle East to Europe total 2.2 million barrels a day, up nearly 90% since January.
And as Saudi Arabia diverts more of its crude oil exports to Europe, it is sending less to top customers in Asia. In fact, China's imports of Saudi crude in June were down 30% compared to year-ago levels.

🚨 3 fatally shot at Iowa state park
Three family members were shot to death while camping in a state park in eastern Iowa Friday, and the suspected gunman died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said. Officers found three people fatally shot in a tent on the campground, division assistant director Mitch Mortvedt said.
Officials immediately evacuated everyone from the park, a children’s summer camp on the grounds and the campground. Once the evacuation was complete, the only registered camper not accounted for was 23-year-old Anthony Sherwin, Mortvedt said.
Using a plane to help search the area, law enforcement later found Sherwin dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a wooded area of the park. The three victims were related, Mortvedt said

🚫 Mayors ask Biden to help with influx of asylum-seekers
The Democratic mayors of New York and Washington are asking the Biden administration to help with what they say is a surge in their cities of asylum-seeking migrants from border states, eliciting gleeful reactions from Republicans who say the pleas are evidence the US is in an immigration crisis.
About 5,200 migrants have been bused from Texas since April and more than 1,100 from Arizona since May. The governors call the practice a voluntary free ride that gets migrants closer to family or support networks.
The Border Patrol stopped migrants nearly 193,000 times in June, the first decline after four straight monthly increases. Texas has spent more than $3 billion in state funds on a massive security apparatus, without stemming the flow of migrants.

📲 T-Mobile agrees to $350 million settlement over its massive 2021 data breach
T-Mobile has agreed to pay $500 million to settle a class-action lawsuit stemming from the 2021 hack that it says exposed around 76.6 million US residents’ data. According to the proposed agreement filled on Friday, which you can read in full below, T-Mobile will put $350 million into a settlement fund to go to lawyers, fees, and, of course, to people who file claims. It’ll also be obligated to spend $150 million on “data security and related technology” during 2022 and 2023, in addition to what it had already budgeted for.
According to the settlement, that covers “the approximately 76.6 million US residents identified by T- Mobile whose information was compromised in the Data Breach.” The settlement agreement doesn’t contain estimates on how much each claimant can expect to receive, though it’s difficult to estimate that kind of thing until it’s clear how many people will make claims.
