Health officials in Brazil are currently monitoring two people for possible Ebola infections. One suspected patient, a 37-year-old man from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), who began exhibiting symptoms such as fever, São Paulo’s state government said. The other case is in Rio de Janeiro. These two cases are in Brazil’s two largest cities, sparking concern for the country. The test results for both patients should become available next week. If confirmed, they would be the first cases of infection outside Africa since the outbreak began in the DR Congo, according to a BBC report.  There are now more than 1,000 suspected Ebola cases in DR Congo, with at least 246 deaths. Uganda has reported nine confirmed cases and one death. The current outbreak has been caused by a rare strain of Ebola known as Bundibugyo, which has no proven vaccine and kills about a third of those infected. –BBC On Saturday, the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) warned that the rapid spread of the virus had caused an “alarming situation”, with an unprecedented number of cases recorded so soon into the outbreak. This outbreak has spread rapidly without any reasonable level of containment yet. However,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! LAS VEGAS — A leading forensic scientist who spent decades with one of the country’s largest medical examiner’s offices told Fox News Digital over the weekend that she believes Nancy Guthrie may have been targeted by a local worker who assumed the victim’s family had money.”I find it flabbergasting that anyone would take a woman her age, but what I think is probably the case is that someone in the area, maybe a handyman, maybe a service person, had known, had found out that Mrs. Guthrie was the mother of Savannah Guthrie and said, ‘Oh, she must be rich,'” Barbara Butcher said Saturday, speaking on the sidelines of CrimeCon Las Vegas. “So this person is not well.”Butcher, a longtime medicolegal death investigator and the host of Oxygen’s “The Death Investigator,” also said the lack of a credible ransom demand raises concerns that Guthrie may have died shortly after the alleged abduction due to shock or an underlying medical condition, leading the suspect to hide evidence and vanish before the case could be resolved.LISTEN TO THE NEW ‘CRIME & JUSTICE WITH DONNA ROTUNNO’ PODCAST “My second thought was that after time, when there…

The U.S. special operations task force in Somalia is looking for contractors to advise troops on Somali politics, culture and tribal dynamics, according to a newly posted federal notice, a move that comes amid the U.S.’s shrinking military footprint in the region.The solicitation, issued in late May on behalf of Joint Special Operations Task Force-Somalia, or JSOTF-SOM, calls for three cultural and political advisors to communicate with the country’s government and tribes and also to provide translation. “This effort will allow JSOTF-SOM to successfully conduct its mission with an understanding of local customs, history, cultural routines, tribal dynamics, local government, and the socio-cultural context in which operations are being planned and conducted,” the notices states. The notice comes as U.S. Africa Command has seen a 75% force draw down over the past 10 years. When paired with other nations’ reductions, the cuts have created what Gen. Dagvin Anderson, the command’s head, described in testimony before Congress as, “an intelligence black hole.”Anderson said the force cuts hindered intelligence gathering across the region, and he warned that terrorist groups like ISIS still wanted to strike the U.S.President Donald Trump, in mid-May, said he ordered a strike that killed the second-highest-ranking ISIS member,…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! LOS ANGELES — As celebrities continue to rally behind Spencer Pratt’s campaign for Los Angeles mayor, reality TV personality and O.J. Simpson murder trial witness Kato Kaelin tells Fox News Digital that Pratt is the candidate he thinks will bring necessary change to the city.”It’s clear to me that Karen Bass did an awful job as LA Mayor during the 2025 fires,” Kaelin, a Los Angeles resident who rocketed to fame after testifying in the O.J. Simpson murder trial, told Fox News Digital, alluding to the heavy criticism Bass has faced for being out of the country during the devastating wildfires in 2025 that killed over two dozen people in the Pacific Palisades and Altadena.”I supported Rick Caruso for Mayor in 2022 and think Spencer Pratt could shake things up this cycle. LA needs a change in leadership.”LA TIMES OWNER SAYS ENDORSING KAREN BASS WAS A ‘MISTAKE’ DUE TO INCOMPETENCE Kaelin, who has lived in Los Angeles for decades but who cannot cast a ballot in the race because he lives outside LA proper, said it “shocks” him that anyone would even “consider voting for Bass.””Her agenda is not for the people…

For many shooters I know (including myself), customization isn’t a question of if, but when. By their nature, firearms are intensely personal tools. They’re also personal statements. It’s the appeal of taking that personal tool and adapting it to your own preferences and needs that drives these efforts. These can be functional adaptations, aesthetic ones, or both. The Shepard Arms customized Echelon 4.5F 9mm combines a solidly engineering foundation with a sound selection of classy tweaks and modifications. From the moment Springfield Armory introduced the 9mm Echelon, it was evident that modularity and customization were in its DNA. Its modular design (through its serialized “Central Operating Group” chassis), optics-ready “Variable Interface System” slide that can direct-mount a wide variety of popular optics, and interchangeable grip modules gave shooters a platform that could evolve with them. That kind of freedom naturally attracts creative minds, and one Wisconsin-based shop has taken that invitation to heart. A Canvas Shepard Arms, located in Menomonee Falls, took Springfield’s Echelon 4.5F and turned it into something that perfectly captures the spirit of modern customization. “When our team first got hands-on with the Springfield Armory Echelon, the reaction was unanimous: this pistol already has exceptional ergonomics,” said…

Sunday at the Charles Schwab Challenge was a bit sleepy, but then Russell Henley woke up in a rather aggressive mood. The 37-year-old flipped a switch down the stretch in Fort Worth to earn the sixth PGA Tour win of his career and pass quite a career milestone in the process.Where there is a winner, there are also many losers, and for Eric Cole, he’s essentially turned into the face of the latter group since earning his spot on the PGA Tour in 2023. His streak of not having the breaks fall his way earned another notch this week, but it’s not all bad for the former PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.On the other side of the planet, Joaquin Niemann found the LIV Golf winner’s circle yet again in South Korea. He’s somewhat sneakily benefited the most from leaving the PGA Tour, and all he’s missing now is to show any semblance of a pulse at a major championship.This is Par Talk, a weekly read to get you caught up on all the happenings that took place in professional golf that you need to know.
