A man overboard alert was broadcast on the ship, and crew rushed to recover them."The ship was moving quickly, so quickly, it's crazy how quickly the people became tiny dots in the sea, and then you lost sight of them," passenger Laura Amador said."The captain slowed the ship and turned it around, and then they deployed a tender ship with people on it to go get them,...

Nearly 12 million estimated to lose health coverage under Trump budget bill
WASHINGTON — A sprawling budget bill in the US Senate could cut health insurance coverage for nearly 12 million Americans and add $3.3tn (£2.4tn) in debt, according to new estimates.The assessment from the Congressional Budget Office, a non-partisan federal agency, could complicate Republican efforts to pass President Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act in the coming days.The spending plan narrowly cleared a preliminary vote in the Senate late on Saturday after party leaders scrambled to arm-twist hesitant members of their rank and file.One defector, Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, announced he would not seek reelection after voting against the president's signature legislation.Democratic lawmakers have led criticism of the bill. The CBO numbers calculate $1tn in...

Japan is the only country in the world to have been hit by a nuclear attack
Outrage as Trump compares Iran strikes to Japan atomic bombing
SINGAPORE — Japan has condemned US President Donald Trump for comparing recent US strikes on Iran to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that ended World War II."That hit ended the war," Trump told reporters on Wednesday. "I don't want to use an example of Hiroshima, I don't want to use an example of Nagasaki, but that was essentially the same thing."About 140,000 people died when the US dropped atomic bombs on the two southern Japanese cities in August 1945. Survivors live with psychological trauma and heightened cancer risk to this day.If Trump's comment "justifies the dropping of the atomic bomb, it is extremely regrettable for us as a city that was bombed," said Nagasaki Mayor Shiro Suzuki.Trump's comments are "unacceptable",...

US halts funding to global group that provides vaccines to low-income countries
WASHINGTON — The United States will halt funding for a global organisation that provides vaccines to millions of children in lower-income countries, which comes after the most senior US health official said the group has “ignored the science” on safety issues.US health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a longtime vaccine sceptic and activist, said the country will not deliver on a $1.58 billion (€1.39 billion) pledge made by the previous Biden administration until GAVI – which procures and distributes jabs around the world – changes its approach to vaccine safety research and assessment.“There is much that I admire about GAVI,” Kennedy said in video remarks. “Unfortunately, in its zeal to promote universal vaccination, it has neglected the key issue of vaccine safety”.He...

CIA director says Iran's nuclear sites 'severely damaged'
WASHINGTON — The head of the CIA has said US strikes "severely damaged" Iran's nuclear facilities and set them back years, diverging from a leaked intelligence report that angered President Donald Trump by downplaying the raid's impact.John Ratcliffe, the US spy agency's director, said key sites had been destroyed, though he stopped short of declaring that Iran's nuclear programme had been eliminated outright.It comes a day after a leaked preliminary assessment from a Pentagon intelligence agency suggested core components of Iran's nuclear programme remained intact after the US bombings.Trump again maintained the raid had "obliterated" Iran's nuclear facilities.The Republican president took to social media on Wednesday to post that the...
