A person from France has just fallen ill with hantavirus despite never stepping foot on the cruise liner where the current outbreak began. The individual was apparently diagnosed with the rodent-borne virus after taking a flight alongside someone with the disease, marking the first confirmed infection in someone with no direct connection to the MV Hondius. Three further patients have been evacuated for treatment elsewhere, including a British medic from the ship, a sailor of Dutch nationality, and one German guest. World Health Organization chief Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus has said the trio is currently “on their way to receive medical care in the Netherlands.” Another person has been hospitalized in Zurich, where authorities insist there is “no risk to the Swiss public.” The pathogen behind the outbreak, dubbed the Andes virus, stands alone among hantaviruses for its ability to spread between humans, with a mortality rate that may reach 40 percent. A Dutch woman aged 69 left the vessel at Saint Helena, flew onward to Johannesburg, and died there—potentially exposing as many as 114 fellow travelers.

A mystery sailboat has emerged as the focus of the federal hunt for missing American Lynette Hooker. Hooker, 55, a Michigan mother, has not been seen since April 4, when her husband Brian Hooker, 58, told authorities she fell from their 8-foot dinghy near Elbow Cay in the Bahamas and was swept away by the current. The Daily Beast previously reported that her daughter, Karli Aylesworth, Shop At Lelo over what she alleged was a history of domestic violence. He was arrested by Bahamian police and later released without charge. The U.S. Coast Guard Investigative Service is now seeking the owners of a sailboat moored close to the couple’s yacht Soulmate at Aunt Pat’s Bay, CBS News reports. A Coast Guard memo says the vessel’s owners “may have information relevant to the CGIS investigation.”

Pope Leo XIV got hung up on by a customer service agent while trying to change the address his bank had on file after he ascended to the papacy. The leader of one billion Catholics was two months into his stint as the head of the church when he called up his bank in Chicago to inform them he had moved and needed to change his phone number and address, his friend Rev. Tom McCarthy said. McCarthy told a congregation in Naperville, Illinois, that the Chicago-born man of the cloth said, “‘Yes ma’am, I’m Robert Prevost, I’d like to change please,” before successfully answering his security questions. The woman nonetheless told him he would have to visit the bank in person to change the information on file. “He said, ‘Well, I’m not going to be able to do that,’” McCarthy said. He then tried something else. “Would it matter to you if I told you I’m Pope Leo?” he asked, according to McCarthy. The customer service operative terminated the call. It was only after a threat to move banks was made that Leo’s phone number was finally changed, McCarthy said.

An 8-year-old boy was savagely mauled by a rabid beaver during a fishing trip to a New Jersey lake. The terrifying attack unfolded shortly before 6 p.m. on Sunday at Lake Henry, part of the Continental Soldiers Park complex in Mahwah. The beaver “exited the lake and charged him,” Mahwah Police Capt. Michael Blondin told PIX11 News. “The child began to run away but tripped. The animal bit the child in the upper thigh and continued to attack him.” A family friend eventually drove the rampaging rodent off with a flurry of kicks and blows, allowing EMS to rush the wounded boy to Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, New York. Animal control officers later captured the visibly sick beaver, which was confirmed to be rabid. “Everyone is advised to avoid wildlife, as any warm-blooded animal can carry rabies,” the Township of Mahwah said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

A regional Delta Air Lines flight and a small propeller plane came within 500 feet of each other at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Monday. It is the second close call at the airport in two weeks. In a statement, the FAA said Endeavor Air Flight 5289, which was en route to JFK from Rochester, was on the final approach to Runway 22L at when a Cirrus SR22, a personal aircraft, crossed over to land on Runway 22R. “Air traffic control provided traffic advisories to both pilots, and each reported the other in sight. The required separation was maintained,” the statement said. Flightradar24 data indicted there was around 475 feet of vertical separation between the two aircraft as their paths crossed. The incident comes two weeks after two passenger planes, one American Airlines and the other Air Canada, came within 400 feet of each other while approaching the tarmac at JFK Airport on April 20. Separately, on Sunday, a United Airlines jet smashed into a semitrailer truck and a light pole on the New Jersey Turnpike as it was attempting to land at Newark Liberty International Airport. “This is unacceptable. We have really well-trained pilots. This should never happen in America,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said in an interview.

Two hikers have been injured in a bear attack at Yellowstone National Park. The pair was traveling along Mystic Falls Trail near the Old Faithful geyser on Monday afternoon when they were attacked. According to a press release from the National Park Service, one or more bears were involved in the attack, which remains under investigation. The area near the Midway Geyser basin was temporarily closed following the attack. A tourist who found one of the hikers told Cowboy State Daily that he discovered a bloody hat and heard a voice shouting, “Help me.” “I was hiking up Mystic Falls Trail when I saw bear prints in the mud,” Craig Lerman explained. “I kept walking a little further and saw a bloody hat with a watch torn off.” While helping the man, he called 911, and park rangers quickly responded, followed by a helicopter. The attack marks the first instance of a bear injuring a person in the park this year, with the last attack taking place in September 2025 when a 29-year-old hiker encountered a bear, sustaining serious but non-life-threatening injuries to his chest and left arm. The last fatality caused by a bear attack occurred in 2015.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has used his latest White House side hustle to drop some vintage rap rhymes. Rubio, 54, stood in for Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who is on maternity leave, for a Tuesday press briefing on the U.S. and Iran’s standoff over the Strait of Hormuz. Rubio said that the time had come for “Iran to make a sensible choice” over the ongoing blockade impacting global oil supplies, and then insulted their leadership by quoting a diss track originally based on L.A. gang slang. “I mean, the top people in that government are, to say the least... they’re insane in the brain, and so we need to address that,” Rubio said. He was referencing the title of Californian rap crew Cypress Hill’s 1993 single “Insane in the Brain.” Rubio then quoted another rap pioneer when he told reporters Tehran was “facing real, catastrophic destruction to their economy.” Citing Ice Cube’s 1992 classic “Check Yo Self,” Rubio warned: “They should check themselves before they wreck themselves in the direction that they’re going.” The full lyrics of both songs Rubio quoted contain a slew of profanities and are deemed explicit on Spotify. Rubio has previously identified himself as a fan of profane hip-hop and rap, particularly N.W.A., Tupac, and Eminem. In March, he quoted the politically-charged rap group Public Enemy when discussing the U.S. bombing Iran. “Every day, the Department of War lets the drummer get wicked over every portion of Iran that has military capabilities,” he said, quoting from Public Enemy’s 1990 single “Welcome to the Terrordome,” where Chuck D raps: “I got so much trouble on my mind, refuse to lose, here’s your ticket, hear the drummer get wicked.”

A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., has indicted the alleged White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter, Cole Tomas Allen, on four criminal counts. Prosecutors had previously charged Cole, 31, with attempting to assassinate the President of the United States, transportation of a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce, and discharging a firearm during a violent crime. But the indictment, released Tuesday, shows Cole also faces an additional charge of assaulting an officer with a deadly weapon. The court record alleged that Allen “did knowingly... forcibly assault, intimidate, and interfere with V.G., an officer and employee of the United States,” with a “deadly and dangerous weapon, that is a shotgun.” An officer was struck during the April 25 incident, but was unharmed due to his bulletproof vest. Whether Allen fired the bullet that hit the officer is not explicit in the indictment. “As alleged in today’s indictment, the heavily armed defendant rushed security and shot a Secret Service Officer in an attempt to assassinate President Trump—but was stopped thanks to the courageous and immediate response from law enforcement," acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement. “Under the leadership of President Trump, violent political actors will never win—we will prosecute anyone who engages in these horrific acts to the fullest extent of the law.”

A good pair of work boots is invaluable. However, most feel like they were designed by people who’ve never spent eight hours on a job site. Red Wing Shoes is aiming to change that with its new IronFlex boot line, built from the ground up based on the data of three million workers.

The new line wasn’t designed by a committee. Red Wing took a more proactive approach. First, it leveraged state-of-the-art scanning technology to study exactly how workers walked and where pressure points built up.

Next, Red Wing spoke to the workers themselves, asking how they prefer their boots to fit and feel. The result was a premium work boot with every feature informed by the people who wear them the most.

In fact, the worker-first philosophy shows up in every detail of the boots. The slip-resistant outsole keeps your feet sure-footed on ladders. A high-rebound EVA midsole delivers all-day comfort. The boot’s welted heel provides extra stability on uneven terrain. The roomy cemented forefoot is constructed to bend and flex with you. On rainy days, the IronFlex’s three layers of a moisture-deterrent lining, cushioning foam, and waterproof barrier keep feet dry.

Utz Quality Foods LLC has issued a sweeping recall of several of its chip products due to a potential Salmonella risk linked to a seasoning ingredient. The issue stems from dry milk powder used in the seasoning, which may be contaminated with Salmonella, a bacterium that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, especially in vulnerable populations. The ingredient was sourced from California Dairies Inc. and supplied to Utz through a third-party vendor, according to the notice. The recall spans multiple products under the Zapp’s and Dirty brands, including Zapp’s Bayou Blackened Ranch, Salt and Vinegar, and Big Cheezy chips, as well as Dirty’s Salt and Vinegar, Maui Onion, and Sour Cream and Onion varieties in various sizes. Utz said the seasoning batches tested negative for Salmonella before being used, but still pulled the products “out of an abundance of caution.” No illnesses have been reported so far. The company is urging customers not to eat the affected chips and to discard them immediately if they have already been purchased.

Longtime American Idol judge Randy Jackson’s return to the reality TV show has alarmed fans, who are concerned about his “frail” appearance. The 69-year-old returned alongside Paula Abdul to mentor Season 24’s class of semifinalists. He appeared noticeably thinner than fans may remember from his original 12-season run as a judge, which lasted from 2002 to 2013. One Reddit user wrote, “He looks frail, and can he not walk? Sitting in a chair when meeting everyone.” Another commented, “What is wrong with Randy Jackson? It looks as though he has aged 50 years in the last five years.” A user on X added, “Is Randy Jackson ok? Looks and sounds so weak.” Jackson was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2002 and has been open about undergoing gastric bypass surgery in 2003, after which he lost more than 100 pounds. The former judge also received spinal surgery in 2019 to treat a back injury. Jackson has not shared any recent health updates.
