At least five people have lost their lives as Storm Bert battered the United Kingdom, leaving a trail of destruction marked by power outages, severe flooding, and widespread disruptions to transport. Dramatic footage from the weekend revealed rivers in Wales—one of the hardest-hit regions—overflowing their banks, submerging streets and vehicles. Rescuers braved waist-deep water to save stranded pets using inflatable rafts, while residents formed human chains to manually bail out floodwater with buckets. Lives Lost Amid the Chaos Fatalities were reported across multiple locations. In Winchester, a man in his 60s tragically died when a tree fell on his car. In Northamptonshire, a man in his 40s was killed in a traffic collision. In West Yorkshire, a 34-year-old man lost his life in a single-vehicle accident. Additional deaths included a man in his 80s whose car entered floodwaters in Lancashire and a body found in North Wales during the search for a missing dog walker. While not

Unidentified drones have been spotted flying over three United States Air Force (USAF) bases in Britain, prompting an investigation by both nations. The incursions occurred between Wednesday and Saturday over the Royal Air Force’s Lakenheath, Mildenhall, and Feltwell bases, all located in eastern England and used by the USAF. A spokesperson for the US Air Forces in Europe confirmed the sightings but assured the public that "none of the incursions impacted base residents or critical infrastructure." According to a source familiar with the situation, around five to six drones were involved, and their movements appeared coordinated. While their origin remains under investigation, they did not appear to be hobbyist drones. The source added that the drones posed no threat to the bases, and there is no evidence suggesting they gathered sensitive intelligence. The British Ministry of Defence also addressed the incident, stating, "We take threats seriously and maintain robust m

A cargo plane crash near Vilnius Airport in Lithuania early Monday resulted in the death of one crew member, while three others, including the pilot, survived. The plane skidded into a residential house and burst into flames, but remarkably, all 12 residents of the home were safely evacuated, according to local authorities. The aircraft, flying from Leipzig, Germany, was on approach to Vilnius Airport when it crashed just a few kilometers from the runway. It skidded for several hundred meters before colliding with the house, Renatas Pozela, the chief of the Fire and Rescue Department, told reporters. “One crew member was found without any signs of life,” said Vilmantas Vitkauskas, head of the National Crisis Management Center. He emphasized that investigations into the crash's causes and circumstances are ongoing, noting it was too early to draw any conclusions. Two crew members were hospitalized, while all four on board were ultimately accounted for. Fortunately, no casualties w

President-elect Donald Trump’s latest nominations have ignited fierce debates, with Tulsi Gabbard, his choice for Director of National Intelligence, and Pete Hegseth, tapped to lead the Defense Department, facing intense scrutiny. These selections mark a pivotal test of Trump’s power to push through contentious appointments as he prepares for a disruptive second term. Gabbard: A Divisive Choice for Intelligence Chief Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii, has drawn criticism for her past positions that align with Russian narratives and her controversial 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Senator Tammy Duckworth expressed concerns on CNN’s State of the Union , calling Gabbard “compromised” and questioning her suitability for overseeing U.S. intelligence. In stark contrast, Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin defended Gabbard, dismissing the accusations as “ridiculous” and citing her military service as evidence of her integrity. Yet, even within Repu

 Marty Makary, a pancreatic surgeon who opposed vaccine mandates during the pandemic, has been tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to work under Robert F. Kennedy as the Food and Drug Administration commissioner. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the FDA had “lost the trust of Americans” and requires Makary to “course-correct and refocus” the agency while working under Kennedy, who was recently nominated by Trump to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Makary and Kennedy will “evaluate harmful chemicals poisoning our nation’s food supply and drugs and biologics being given to our nation’s youth” while addressing the “childhood chronic disease epidemic,” Trump said. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Makary was an advocate of natural immunity—becoming immune to a disease by being infected with it—and claimed it was “at least” as effective as immunity provided by vaccines and argued the U.S. would reach herd immunity, or the process of enough people becoming immune to a di

 Ready-to-eat meat and poultry products sold by Yu Shang Food have been recalled after causing a listeria outbreak spanning four states, causing 11 illnesses and the death of an infant, federal health officials announced, marking the latest in a series of listeria scares that have prompted recalls. Yu Shang Food of Spartanburg, S.C., said Friday it would recall more than 72,000 pounds of meat and poultry products—including pork belly, chicken feet, duck neck and beef shank—produced before Oct. 24 because of possible listeria contamination, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. At least 11 people were sickened with listeria as of Friday, resulting in nine hospitalizations and the death of an infant, according to the CDC, which noted the true number of sickened people is likely higher as the outbreak may expand to more states. Illnesses were reported between October 2021 and July 2024 in California, Illinois, New York and New Jersey, though Yu Shang Food sold the pr
