Pop-up Covid-19 testing tents are still accessible in New York City. Photo: Gabby Jones for The Wall Street JournalWASHINGTON—A bipartisan group of U.S. senators is reviving efforts to establish a national Covid-19 task force modeled on the 9/11 Commission to investigate the U.S. government response to the pandemic and the disputed origins of the virus. Advocates have long pressed for such a panel, which would have investigatory powers and issue recommendations about how the U.S. can better prepare for future pandemics. But past legislative efforts have foundered because of partisan disagreement, turf fights in Congress, and a lack of support from the Biden administration, people familiar with the matter said.

Ukraine is trying to convince the West to provide it with F-16s, modern jet fighters capable of traveling twice the speed of sound. Here is how the planes compare with Russia’s Soviet-designed aircraft and what difference they could make in the war. Illustration: Adam AdadaThe U.S. and allied nations are scrambling to buttress Ukraine’s air defenses for its upcoming counteroffensive after waves of Russian missile attacks whittled down Kyiv’s stockpile of antiaircraft missiles. Neither side has been able to take firm control of the skies over Ukraine throughout the brutal war, now in its second year, and the success of Ukraine’s forthcoming counteroffensive depends on its ability to keep Russia’s warplanes from pummeling its troops and infrastructure.

The Air National Guard, at the center of an investigation into the leak of highly classified documents, has moved over two decades to the forefront of military operations, analyzing much of the intelligence for drone strikes and carrying out many of those missions. The Guard, which was once viewed as largely a strategic reserve force, now provides half of the Air Force’s targeting analysis, according to data provided by officials to The Wall Street Journal.

Photo: AFP/Getty ImagesWASHINGTON—The U.S. has agreed to give Seoul a greater voice in consultations on a potential American nuclear response to a North Korean attack in return for swearing off developing its own nuclear weapons, U.S. officials said. The accord would grant South Korea’s leadership a long-sought place at the table on the use of U.S. nuclear forces to defend the country, though the U.S. would still retain control over targeting and the execution of nuclear operations. Seoul, in return, would restate its commitment not to develop its own nuclear arsenal.

Photo: Win McNamee/Getty ImagesWASHINGTON—A Chinese laboratory conducting advanced coronavirus research faced a series of biosafety problems in November 2019 that drew the attention of top Beijing officials and coincided with the Covid pandemic’s emergence, according to a new report being released by Senate Republicans on the pandemic’s origins. The report, released Monday by a Republican member of the Senate Health Committee, a final version of which was viewed by The Wall Street Journal, charts a confluence of unexplained events in that month and concludes the pandemic more likely began from a lab accident than naturally, via an animal infecting humans.
