[EX Q]: (CNN) A submarine is joining the Mediterranean Sea search for the black boxes that could reveal what caused the crash of EgyptAir Flight 804. The aircraft disappeared from radar last week on a flight from Paris to Cairo. Searchers have recovered parts of the plane wreckage, including passengers' personal belongings, life vests, aircraft chairs and even body parts. But they're still scouring the Mediterranean for the plane's fuselage, and for the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder -- key pieces of evidence that would likely reveal what went wrong on the flight. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi announced the deployment of the submarine Sunday. It can reach a depth of 3,000 meters (about 9,800 feet), he said.Mourners at a Cairo mosque gather in memory of the plane's pilotEgypt uses submarine to hunt for flight data and cockpit voice recorders

[EX Q]: (CNN) As House Speaker Paul Ryan pulled the Republican health care bill from voting, I could almost hear the giant sigh of relief from Atlanta and across the nation's health care establishment. Hidden in the nooks and crannies of the American Health Care Act (AHCA) was a provision to eliminate $1 billion in disease prevention funds from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Those cheers I imagine I hear right now in Atlanta are huzzahs from the CDC headquarters. According to the GOP plan, "Our Step-by-Step Approach," the first of three steps towards reshaping the American health care market was thwarted on Friday when the White House, recognizing that splits within the Republican Party could not be resolved to allow passage of the AHCA, instructed Ryan to pull the bill. Step two, led by Secretary Tom Price and his team at the Department of Health and Human Services, may still proceed: "going through every page of regulations and guidance related to the Affordable Care Act to determine whether or not they work for patients," with an eye to eliminating the rules laid out by the Obama administration.Laurie Garrett: The life expectancy of Americans is lower than those living in some third-world countriesThe GOP health care bill would have decreased it even more by cutting funding to life-saving preventative care, she writes

[EX Q]: (CNN) -- President Obama's favorite television shows include "House of Cards" and "Mad Men." One can imagine that when his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin wants to kick back and relax, all he will need to do is turn on the nightly news and watch the latest reports from the NATO Summit in Wales. Putin can listen as NATO leaders roll out the latest iteration of their bold responses to his annexation of Crimea and his invasion of Ukraine. Imagine how he'll be tickled as NATO leaders fall all over themselves trying to find ways to refer to his sending Russian troops into a neighboring country without actually calling it an invasion.David Rothkopf: Vladimir Putin will be entertained watching the NATO SummitNATO's rhetoric has been its only weapon against Russian aggressionNATO is not designed to respond to Putin's style of incremental takeoversNATO, U.S. absorbed with fighting Islamic extremism and solving domestic issues
