The US has temporarily suspended the removal of refugees to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) due to the ongoing Ebola outbreak.

This decision may not prevent the spread of the disease, according to experts.

A US judge had ordered the return of a 55-year-old woman, Adriana Zapata, who was deported to Kinshasa despite her complex medical needs.

However, American officials cannot bring her back due to the travel ban.

Immigration agents may be at risk of contracting the virus during removal trips, and the virus could spread closer to the US.

The decision is partly motivated by legal concerns, as removal to a third country with an active Ebola outbreak could be used in an immigrant's defense.

According to her doctor's advice, Denyer has been struggling with persistent health issues due to the demands of her work.

The UK public sector borrowing reached £24.3 billion in April, the highest total for the month since the Covid pandemic in 2020.

This represents a £4.9 billion increase from the same period last year.

The surge in borrowing is attributed to higher spending on benefits and other costs, which offset higher tax receipts.

Retail sales volumes also declined in April, with the fastest pace of decline in almost a year, due to increased petrol prices.

The deteriorating growth outlook and fragile fiscal backdrop are expected to impact the UK economy, with households facing higher fuel bills and the Bank of England no longer expected to cut interest rates.

Reform UK has suggested scrapping income tax on overtime hours for workers earning under £75,000 per year.

The party estimates this would save a full-time nurse working six hours of overtime each week over £1,300 annually.

The policy would cost £5 billion annually, which Reform UK plans to cover through welfare payment cuts.

A man has died after falling from a building in Manchester's city centre.

The incident occurred on Charles Street, where police were called at around 4 pm on Saturday.

The cause of the man's death remains unexplained, and an investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

A forensic tent has been set up in the area, and Charles Street remains closed due to police activity.

A woman who was abused by a babysitter as a child has spoken out about the lasting impact of police failures in her case.

Michaela Allen, 38, was awarded £32,000 in compensation after police lost vital evidence and failed to charge her abuser.

Two other alleged victims of the same perpetrator received around £10,000 each.

Michaela says the compensation does not bring her closure, as the perpetrator remains at large and poses a risk to the public.

The case highlights the long-term effects of child abuse and the importance of effective police investigations.

A 15-year-old girl who was raped by two teenage boys has expressed her dismay at the lenient sentences they received.

The judge's decision to avoid 'criminalising' the boys has been criticized by the victim, who feels that it downplays the severity of the crime.

The attorney general has announced a review of the sentence, which has sparked debate about the treatment of juvenile offenders in the UK.

A nine-storey building under construction in Angeles, near Manila, collapsed early Sunday, killing at least one person and trapping many others.

A 65-year-old Malaysian man was confirmed dead, having managed to communicate with rescuers before succumbing to his injuries.

The man was retrieved from the water but succumbed to his injuries.

This is the second fatal shark attack in Australian waters in recent weeks, following a similar incident near Perth, Western Australia.

Shark attacks are relatively common in Australia, but most are not fatal.

Popular swimming and surfing spots often have measures in place to prevent attacks.
