WARSAW — NATO has taken over air defenses in Poland from the US just days before the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, according to a NATO spokesman, with questions looming about the incoming administration’s approach to the alliance and to Ukraine.NATO assumed command and control from the US on Thursday, said Col.

Italian town bans residents from falling ill
ROME — The mayor of a small town in southern Italy has issued an unusual proclamation: “Getting sick is prohibited.”Residents of Belcastro in the southern region of Calabria have been “ordered to avoid contracting any illness that requires medical assistance, especially an emergency,” a decree from Mayor Antonio Torchia stated.Torchia told local television that while “we take (the decree) with a bit of irony,” it is intended to highlight the town’s inadequate access to healthcare.Belcastro, a town of about 1,300 people of whom half are elderly, has a health center that is often closed, and on-call doctors are not available on weekends, holidays or after hours, the mayor said.The closure of nearby healthcare centers, and the fact that the nearest emergency room is about 45...
