More info Various estimates of when people first arrived in the Americas have been published in recent years, varying from 20,000 to more than 30,000 years ago. In the second half of the 20th century, many North American archaeologists agreed on the idea that the Clovis people had been the first to reach the Americas. Their ancestors were thought to have crossed a land bridge linking Siberia to Alaska during the last ice age, but this land bridge — known as Beringia — later disappeared underwater as the ice slowly melted.

A newborn baby died after a senior doctor failed to see his mother face-to-face, an investigation has found. Officials found that maternity staff repeatedly missed chances to save the life of Giles Cooper-Hall, who died following a catalogue of errors in the maternity care of his mother at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust. The failings emerged just weeks after the Ockenden Report found that more than 200 babies died as a result of failings at Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. The latest report highlighted how similar issues at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust meant staff missed multiple opportunities to save Giles. It revealed how his mother Ruth Cooper-Hall, then aged 37, was not seen face-to-face by a consultant when she went into labour in October last year, despite recommendations made in an interim Ockenden Report published nearly two years earlier. A Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) report into the incident, published on … [Read more...] about Baby died after senior doctor failed to see mother face-to-face amid ‘catalogue of errors’

Quatre migrants pakistanais ont passé plusieurs jours dans le froid glacial d'une forêt en Lituanie où ils ont demandé l'asile, redoutant d'être renvoyés au Bélarus, ce qu'a quoi s'oppose la Cour européenne des droits de l'Homme. Les quatre hommes ont reçu l'aide de bénévoles qui leur ont apporté des vêtements chauds et autres produits de première nécessité : " Ils étaient dans un mauvais état, ils avaient froid. Nous leur  avons fourni une tente, nous les avons aidés à la construire et à changer leurs vêtements. Leurs mains tremblaient, ils ne pouvaient pas se changer eux-mêmes. Et puis, nous sommes partis car ils voulaient demander l'asile en Lituanie", raconte Agne Rasciute, volontaire pour l’association Siena. Depuis cet été, des milliers de migrants ont franchi la frontière lituanienne en provenance du Bélarus. Peu d'entre eux obtiennent l'asile. A Vilnius, le Parlement vient d'adopter des amendements qui visent à restreindre jusqu'à un an leur circulation dans le pays … [Read more...] about La Lituanie face à la crise des migrants en provenance du Bélarus

A bar manager who had a toxic substance thrown in his face has spoken out of his life-changing physical and mental injuries. When Tommy Powell arrived for his night shift at the Blue Bar Café in Eastbourne, he had no idea that only hours later paramedics would be scrambling to save his vision.

Moments earlier, Moynes had been ‘politely’ escorted outside after starting some trouble. Describing how the skin around his eyes almost immediately blistered, Tommy told Metro.co.uk: ‘It all happened within the space of five minutes. ‘I felt this indescribable burning pain. My eyes and face were covered. It had also gone in my mouth and throat.’ Three months on from the attack, Tommy, 27, said he is struggling with severe PTSD, depression and anxiety caused by the incident. He says he often shuts himself off … [Read more...] about Bar manager left partially blind after ‘horrific’ attack with toxic substance

If you had to leave your home and all your worldly belongings in an instant to run for your life, as thousands of Ukrainians have, what would you grab? Money, your passport, some spare clothes? For many Ukrainian families, the one thing they could not leave behind was their pets. Pictures have emerged of refugees carrying cats, dogs and birds as they rush to safety . But those animals that were abandoned roam the streets in search of food and love. One of these much-loved pets found me, while I was reporting in Ukraine, and I could not leave that dog behind. This is my story of how I came back from war with a friend for life, one who helped me cope with the reality of a warzone. Before I left Islington for Ukraine, I could have never imagined the experience. The stories of destruction I found are so devastating that I struggle to comprehend how this is happening in the 21st century. Genocide. War crimes. Invasion. Yet, when entering Ukraine back in February, … [Read more...] about ‘I went to war – and came back with a dog’

Pugs can no longer be considered a “typical dog” because extreme breeding has given them a long list of severe health issues . The desire for extreme, baby-like dogs with bulging eyes , folds of skin and flat faces has led to long-lasting and life-shortening health problems , which mean the animal is subjected to a “lifetime of suffering”. Dr Dan O’Neill, senior lecturer in companion animal epidemiology at the Royal Veterinary College, told The Telegraph that pugs lacked the “basic functions” expected of a canine. “We have dogs that are typical, like Labradors, where they have a long nose and a tail and are not that dissimilar to a wild dog,’’ he said. “Obviously, they have a different temperament but physically they just look like a wolf or a coyote or a dingo or a fox. “We’ve drafted a list of core body functions that any dog should expect to be able to do when it’s born and when it’s alive and these are very basic. “For example, they should be able to blink. It … [Read more...] about Pugs are not ‘typical dogs’ because of their ‘lifetime of suffering’, says study
