After the rock god's death, a Thames Valley Air Ambulance spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE in a statement that its helicopter "was dispatched toprovide advanced critical careat an incident near Chalfont St Giles on Tuesday 22nd July." TheDaily Mailfirst reported that the air ambulance was called to the Black Sabbath frontman's family home and spent two hours providing care before the rock legend died. Osbourne's family — including wife Sharon and his kids Louis, Aimee, Kelly and Jack — said their final goodbyes to the rocker during anemotional funeral processionon July 30 in Birmingham, England. Weeks before his death,Osbourne performed from a throne at the Black Sabbathfarewell concert on July 5 in Birmingham, England — a live show that would be his final concert and his first in 20 years with the band that made him a star. The musician faced several health issues in the years before his final performance. Daniel Knighton/Getty In January 2020, Osbourne revealed that he'd beendiagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a nervous system disorder that affects movement in 2003. At the time, he said, "It's not a death sentence." Prior to that, in 2019, Osbourne hadsuffered a fallin his Los Angeles home that required neck surgery. The musician, however, did return to the stage in August 2022 for a performance in front of 30,000 at the2022 Commonwealth Gamesin Birmingham. The following month, he spoke to PEOPLE about wanting to continue playing live despite his health issues. "That's the only thing that reminds me I'm getting older: things going wrong and not working anymore," Osbourne said at the time. "But I still feel young at heart." Paul Natkin/Getty In March 2023, his health forced him to cancel a string of then-upcoming U.K. and European tour dates. Writing on Instagram, the singer said, "My singing voice is fine. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently, groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak." That July, Osbourne canceled a performance at Power Trip festival in Indio, Calif. that was set for October 2023. "My original plan was to return to the stage in the summer of 2024, and when the offer to do this show came in, I optimistically moved forward," hewrote on Instagramat the time. The rock star also did not perform at hisRock and Roll Hall of Fame inductionthat same year. By the time he returned to the stage for the final time in July, Osbourne appeared in front of a live audienceperched atop of a bat-bedecked thronewith a skull design on each arm rest. At that point, Osbourne's mobility had been limited by Parkinson's disease. Reflecting on his storied career in a 2007 interview withThe Guardian, the musician described his life as an "incredible adventure," noting that "this has all been such an amazing journey for me." Osbourne added, "I can vividly remember sitting on the step of my house in Aston, just tripping about what it would be like to be a Beatle. It's like I've been in the music industry for 30, 40 years, and it's just been incredible really." In hisfinal interviewwith PEOPLE in 2022, Osbourne said: "Survival is my legacy."

What to know as Israel considers reoccupying Gaza in what would be a major escalation of the war

What to know as Israel considers reoccupying Gaza in what would be a major escalation of the war

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahuis consideringordering the full reoccupation of the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli media, a move that would draw fierce opposition internationally and within Israel. It would mark a stunning escalation ofthe nearly 22-month warin the territory that has already been largely destroyed and whereexperts say famine is unfolding. It would put the lives of countless Palestinians and about 20 living hostages at risk, and deepen Israel's alreadystark international isolation. It would also face fierce opposition within Israel: Families of the hostages would consider it a virtual death sentence, and much of the security establishment is also reportedly opposed to an open-ended occupation that would bog down and further strain the army after nearly two years of regional wars. The threat to reoccupy Gaza could be a negotiating tactic aimed at pressuring Hamas after talks mediated by the United States, Egypt and Qatarappeared to have broken downlast month. Or it could be aimed at shoring up support from Netanyahu'sfar-right coalition partners. His governing allies have long called for escalating the war, taking over Gaza, relocating much of its population through what they refer to as voluntary emigration and reestablishing Jewish settlements that were dismantled when Israel withdrew in 2005. Whether they prevail will likely depend onthe one person with leverage over Israel— U.S. PresidentDonald Trump. Asked Tuesday whether he thought Israel should reoccupy Gaza, he said he wasn't aware of the "suggestion" but that "it's going to be pretty much up to Israel." Ground operations in the most densely populated areas To take full control of Gaza, Israel would need to launch ground operations in the last areas of the territorythat haven't been flattenedand where most of Gaza's 2 million Palestinians have sought refuge. That would mean going into the central city of Deir al-Balah and Muwasi, a so-called humanitarian zone where hundreds of thousands of people live in squalid tent camps along the coast. Such operations would force another wave of mass displacement and further disrupt aid deliveries as the U.N. agencies and humanitarian organizations arealready struggling to avert famine. Israel already controls around 75% of the territory, which has been declared a buffer zone or placed under evacuation orders. With Israel also largely sealing Gaza's borders, it's unclear where civilians would go. It would also pose a major risk forthe remaining 20 or so living hostages, likely held in tunnels or other secret locations. Hamas is believed to have ordered its guards to kill captives if Israeli forces approach. Hamas-led militants abducted 251 hostages in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack that ignited the war and killed around 1,200 people that day, mostly civilians. They are still holding 50 hostages, less than half of them believed to be alive, and recent videos have shown emaciated captives pleading for their lives. Israel's retaliatory offensive has killed over 61,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry, which does not say how many were civilians or combatants. The ministry, which is part of the Hamas-run government and run by medical professionals, is seen by the United Nations and other experts as the most reliable source on casualties. Israel disputes its toll but has not provided its own. International outrage and further isolation Israel's wartime conduct has shocked much of the international community, and promptedeven close Western alliesto call for an end to the war and to take steps to recognize Palestinian statehood. The International Court of Justice is consideringallegations of genocide, and the International Criminal Court has issuedarrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former defense minister, alleging war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the use of starvation as a method of war. Israel has rejected the allegations and accused those making them of antisemitic "blood libel." It says it has taken every effort to avoid harming civilians and blames Hamas for their deaths because the militants are deeply entrenched in heavily populated areas. Israel has said it will keep fighting until all the hostages are returned, Hamas is defeated or disarmed, and Gaza's population is given the option of "voluntary emigration," which the Palestinians and much of the international communityview as forcible expulsion. Hamas has said it will only release the remaining hostages in return for a lasting ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal. It says it is willing to give up power but will not lay down its arms as long as Israel occupies territories the Palestinians want for a future state. Another open-ended occupation Israel captured Gaza, the West Bank and east Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war. The United Nations, the Palestinians and others continued to view Gaza as occupied territory after the 2005 withdrawal of Israeli troops and settlers, as Israel maintained control of its airspace, coastline, most of its land border and its population registry. The full reoccupation of Gaza would pose long-term challenges that Israel is well aware of given its long history of occupying Arab lands, including the likelihood of a prolonged insurgency. Israeli support for the war already appears to have declined sinceNetanyahu ended a ceasefire in March, as soldiers have been killed in hit-and-run attacks. As an occupying power, Israel would be expected to maintain order and ensure the basic needs of the population are met.In the West Bank, it has largely outsourced that to the Palestinian Authority, which exercises limited autonomy in population centers. But in Gaza, Netanyahu has ruled out any future role for the PA, accusing it of not being fully committed to peace, and has not produced any plan for Gaza's postwar governance and reconstruction. Long-term repercussions Even if Israel succeeds in suppressing Hamas, the reoccupation of Gaza could pose an even more profound threat to the country. It would leave Israel in full control of the territory between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, which is home to around 7 million Jews and 7 million Palestinians — most of the latter denied basic rights, including the vote. Even before the war, major human rights groups saidthe situation amounted to apartheid, something Israel vehemently denies. Unless large numbers of Palestinians are expelled —no longer merely a fantasy of Israel's far-right— Israel would face an all-too-familiar existential dilemma: Create a Palestinian state in the 1967 territories and preserve Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, or rule over millions of Palestinians indefinitely and hope they never rally behind the idea of equal rights in a binational state. Israel would no longer be able to point to Hamas' rule in Gaza, or factional divisions among Palestinians, as reasons to avoid such a reckoning. And when Trump leaves office, it may find it has few friends to back it up. ___ Follow AP's war coverage athttps://apnews.com/hub/israel-hamas-war

Gifford Fire burns 82,000 acres, accompanied by 2 other wildfires in California

The Gifford Fire, a wildfire burning in Central California that has destroyed over 82,000 acres in five days, continues to rage and is now accompanied by two additional fires emerging nearby, according to officials. Since it started on Friday afternoon, the Gifford Fire -- which is situated within the Los Padres National Forest in Solvang, California -- has burned 82,567 acres and has only reached 7% containment, promptingevacuation ordersfor those in the Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, officials said. While the flames have been centered around thick brush and rugged terrain, officials said over 800 structures are threatened by this wildfire. Nearly 2,000 personnel have been dispatched to help fight the flames, with "great progress made on the west, north and east flanks of the fire" on Monday, according to Los Padres National Forest officials. Winds could potentially reach 20 mph on Tuesday, which could "test lines already constructed," officials said. Warmer weather on Thursday and Friday could increase the "fire behavior" and pose a threat to the already raging flames, officials said. MORE: Gifford Fire burns over 72,000 acres in California On Tuesday, officials said they will deploy helicopters to "deliver very significant water drops" and will establish two new base camps to allow personnel to "more efficiently access the fire perimeter." An air quality alert in Cuyama, California, and an air quality watch for the rest of Santa Barbara County continues to remain in place "until conditions improve," according to the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District. The fire is also impacting those outside of California, with smoke from the flames filtering into the Las Vegas Valley, "reducing visibility and air quality," according to the National Weather Service Las Vegas. Officials expect smoky conditions in the Las Vegas area "for at least another couple of days."

The Rosa Fire, which is situated within Riverside County, has promptedevacuation ordersand has destroyed 1,200 acres as of Tuesday, according to Cal Fire. The Gold Fire, which is located in San Bernardino County, is centered around "steep, rugged terrain in the northern area of the Mountaintop Ranger District" and has burned 348 acres, Cal Fire said. As of Tuesday, the Rosa Fire is 5% contained and the Gold Fire is 0% contained, officials said. The cause of all three fires remains under investigation, officials said.

'Ketamine Queen' accused of selling Matthew Perry fatal dose gets September trial date

'Ketamine Queen' accused of selling Matthew Perry fatal dose gets September trial date

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman charged with sellingMatthew Perrythe dose of ketamine that killed him is headed for a September trial. Jasveen Sangha'strial — the only one forthcoming in thedeath of the "Friends" starafter four other defendants reached plea agreements with prosecutors — is now set to begin Sept. 23 after an order Tuesday from a federal judge in Los Angeles. The 42-year-old Sangha, who prosecutors say was known to her customers as"The Ketamine Queen,"is charged with five counts of ketamine distribution, including one count of distribution resulting in death. She has pleaded not guilty and has been held in federal custody since her arrest last year. Her trial had been scheduled to start Aug. 19, but the judge postponed it for the fourth time since her April 2024 indictment after both sides agreed it should be moved. Sangha's lawyers said they needed the time to go through the huge amount of evidence they have received from the prosecution and to finish their own investigation. Sangha was one of the two biggest targets in the investigation of Perry's death, along withDr. Salvador Plasencia, who pleaded guiltyto ketamine distribution last month. Perry's personal assistant, his friend andanother doctor also entered guilty pleasand are cooperating with prosecutors. All are awaiting sentencing. Perry, who was found dead at age 54 at his home on Oct. 23, 2023, had been gettingketaminefrom his regular doctor for treatment of depression, an increasingly common off-label use for the surgical anesthetic. But prosecutors say when the doctor wouldn't give Perry as much as he wanted, he illegally sought more from Plasencia, then still more from Sangha, who they say presented herself as "a celebrity drug dealer with high quality goods." Perry's assistant and friend said in their plea agreements that they acted as middlemen to buy large amounts of ketamine for Perry from Sangha, including 25 vials for $6,000 in cash a few days before his death. Prosecutors allege that included the doses that killed Perry.
