Attia, a recent addition toCBS News' contributors, first appeared in the interview segment with correspondent Norah O'Donnell in October. The interview will no longer be aired in a rerun as counterprogramming on Super Bowl Sunday, according toThe Guardian's Jeremy Barr,VarietyandThe Independent.

Attia reportedly came up over 1,700 times in thelatest batch of Epstein filesreleased Friday, Jan. 30, according toVariety,The New York Timesand other news outlets. The Epstein file mentions include crude exchanges between Attia and theconvicted sex offenderabout female genitalia and emails that suggest the self-proclaimed longevity expert may have been with Epstein while his wife was alone with their son in the hospital after a near-fatal incident. Other emails suggest the doctor discussed longevity with the financier.

USA TODAY has reached out to CBS and Attia's rep for comment.

In a lengthy apology onX, addressing his communications with Epstein, Attia said he was not "involved in any criminal activity" and had nothing to do with" the convicted predator's "sexual abuse or exploitation of anyone." He said he met Epstein, who at the time was "widely known in academic and philanthropic circles as a funder of science" in 2014 through "a prominent female healthcare leader while I was raising funds for scientific research."

Attia added that the pair met up seven to eight times at Epstein's New York City home to discuss research studies and network. Still, he said, "I apologize and regret putting myself in a position where emails, some of them embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible, are now public, and that is on me."

Peter Attia's emails with Epstein

In one particularly crass email to the convicted sexual predator from 2016, Attia joked that female genitalia is "indeed, low carb. Still awaiting results on gluten content, though."

Other emails note an appointment between Attia and an unknown associate on July 13, 2017, while emails between Epstein and his longtime assistant and planner Leslie Groff confirm a meeting with Attia for the same afternoon.

The dates would have been around the time of an incident the wellness coach wrote about in his 2022 book "Outlive," in which he admonishes himself for not being by his wife and son's side after the month-old baby suddenly stopped breathing.

"In reality, I was out of control. I wasn't just some garden variety road raging maniac either. A few months earlier, on Tuesday, July 11, 2017, at 5:45 to be exact, I had received a call from Jill, my wife. She was in an ambulance with our infant son … on the way to the hospital," Attia wrote. "For some reason, he had suddenly stopped breathing and fallen unconscious. His eyes were completely rolled back in their sockets, and he was lifeless and blue, with no heartbeat."

His son had begun breathing a short time later, but was still being held in the hospital for four days, all the while his wife "pleaded with me to come home. I called in daily to talk to the doctors and discuss each day's test results, but I stayed in New York, busy with my, quote, important work."

He added: "I feel nauseous about my behavior. I can't believe I did that to my family. I can't believe what a blind, selfish, checked out husband and father I was."

• Director Ron Howard once accidentally got high while filming the 1995 movie Apollo 13

• The event occurred when Howard took a cocktail of medication meant to help the body in zero-gravity environments

• But when a flight utilizing zero gravity was scrapped, Howard became a bit loopy as a result of the medication
  

Ron Howardaccidentally got high while filming the 1995 movieApollo 13.

Far Out Magazineresurfaced Howard's remarks on the incident, which came as he and the crew were filming in a zero-G plane, in order to make the scenes meant to be in space look believable.

The Academy Award-winning film tells the true story of NASA's aborted mission to the Moon in 1970.

Speaking toBAFTAin 2013, the now 71-year-old director said, "We would up using this zero-G aeroplane that does parabolas in order to recreate weightlessness and do scientific testing and training of astronauts."

Howard added that he and the crew wound up doing "13 days" of shots in the vessel, saying, "We took a little cocktail called Scopedex, which is half scopolamine and half Dexedrine."

"Scopolamine evens out your stomach, but wants to put you to sleep, and the Dexedrine keeps you working," he added. "One time we were getting ready to go, and we took our Scopedex – or at least I did – we were all planned out, and then there was some engine failure, and we couldn't go."

But what Howard didn't realize at the time is that, when taken and not used in a zero-gravity environment, the Scopodex has an unintended consequence.

"Everybody was laughing their heads off at me, because I was on the stuff and when you're up there, with the adrenaline, you really don't feel anything, you don't feel any buzz, but apparently I was running around [hyperactively] saying 'okay, so we can't but you can bring a camera over here, we have the set, we'll use the mock up, it's okay, you can light it – Tom come on!'. They were all just looking like 'somebody just hit this guy with a hammer, please,'" Howard said.

The film would go on to be nominated for nine Academy Awards.

"I'm in there getting my physical with Kevin Bacon. It's everything — it's the treadmill, urine, blood works, heart monitor the whole thing," recalled Howard, who has a condition called vagovasal syncope. "I'm a little more prone to shock and I can get lightheaded. And at times, I can even faint."

"In this particular case, we're going along doing the physical and they're doing the blood test and I start to get woozy. In this case, the vasovagal syncope led to — I've never told this story by the way, for this reason," he said.

Howard added: "It led to Ron blacks out and Ron makes wee wee because I hadn't done the urine test yet."

"I come to and I wake up and Kevin Bacon is looking at me. He's looking down, he's looking up. I'm one degree from Kevin Bacon and I just take a beat and I just go, 'Ten extra closeups in this movie, buddy, if you don't say a word.' He said, 'I'm with ya, boss,'" Howard said.

Italy Meloni Painting

A painting of a cherub with a face bearing a remarkable resemblance to Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni had attracted large crowds to the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Lucina, one of the oldest basilicas in Rome. That angel's face was gone when the church opened its doors Wednesday: the cherub's body remains, but the face was erased with a sloppy slab of paint or plaster.

La Repubblica newspaper, which broke the story Saturday when it published the Meloni-esque angel on its front page, said the restorer responsible for making the Meloni cherub had covered it up overnight at the request of church authorities.

Restorer Bruno Valentinetti admitted to the paper that he had styled the angel on Meloni, but didn't say why.

The diocese of Rome and the Italian Culture Ministry had both launched investigations after the image of the cherub was first published.

The original painting only dated from 2000, so it wasn't a matter of damage to the church's historic patrimony. But Cardinal Baldassare Reina, the pope's vicar for Rome, insisted that a political figure had no place in church art.

The ruckus gave the basilica newfound celebrity status, with curious locals and tourists lining up to photograph the Meloni cherub, at times disrupting Mass.

In a statement Wednesday, the Culture Ministry set down the rules going forward: If the basilica plans to repaint the angel face, it needs prior authorization from the government which owns the church, the diocese of Rome which operates it and the culture ministry's special superintendency for Rome.

Lest there be any question, the Culture Ministry said that the request for permission must be "accompanied by a sketch of the image."

Valentinetti had first made the cherub in 2000, when one of the basilica's front chapels was renovated to include a bust of the last king of Italy, Umberto II. Included in the decoration was a cherub holding a map of Italy, seemingly kneeling down before the king.

The cherub was restored after water leaks damaged the basilica starting in 2023, and emerged with the face of Meloni.

The investigations that were launched were to identify how the original 2000 cherub looked, with the aim of restoring the painting to that image. The faceless cherub seen Wednesday appeared a temporary fix to erase Meloni's likeness from the work.

The Italian premier had made light of the whole thing. "No, I definitely don't look like an angel," Meloni wrote on social media on the weekend with a laughing/crying emoji alongside a photo of the work.

Russian comedian Ostanin accused of mocking war invalids appears in Moscow court

A Reuters reporter in court said that the comedian, Artemy Ostanin, had been handed a sentence of five years and nine months and a fine of ⁠300,000 roubles ($3,908).

It was ‌the latest in a series of rulings which have harshly punished people judged by the ‍authorities to have spoken rudely or falsely about the Russian army at a time when it is fighting in Ukraine.

Ostanin ​was also convicted of offending the feelings of Christians ‌with another off-colour joke he made about Jesus, which angered Orthodox nationalists.

Ostanin, who had apologised to anyone whose feelings he had hurt, denied wrongdoing and said that the joke he made about the war veteran had made ⁠no mention of the conflict ​in Ukraine.

His arrest and treatment were ​punishment enough for any offence he had caused, Ostanin said during his trial.

Russia passed sweeping ‍censorship laws in ⁠2022 shortly after it went to war in Ukraine. Pro-Kremlin figures and organisations have since publicly ⁠denounced people they deem to have broken those laws, and have ‌reported them to the authorities.

The fire happened occurred near 77th and Green Tree Avenue,ABC 7 Chicagoreports. Neighbor Anthone Medina told the outlet that he assisted in the rescue, waiting on the ground to catch the baby as the flames grew.

"Since they didn't arrive immediately, we tried to save the baby's life by lowering him down with a blanket to get him to safety," Medina told ABC 7 in an interview translated from Spanish to English.

ABC 7 reports that the building had no sprinklers, citing the MFD.

Two people suffered leg injuries after jumping from the building, WXOW reports, citing the MFD.

"The heaviest part of the fire was on the first floor, in the hallway. That was a big part of this story," Trost told WXOW, while noting that residents had to use alternate escape routes due to the size of the fire. Firefighters rescued eight people, all who are expected to survive, per the outlet.
