 U.S equipment, experts arrive at Kenya Ebola facility despite court order, protests Around 20 flights carrying medical equipment and specialist staff have landed at a base in Kenya where the U.S. ​government is continuing to build an Ebola quarantine facility despite protests and Kenyan court orders blocking it, according to flight data and officials. At least two ‌people have been killed in protests in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki, home to the Kenyan air force base where the U.S. military is building a 50-bed unit for Americans who might be exposed to the virus, which has infected hundreds in Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda. A Kenyan court first ordered work on the Ebola facility to be suspended on May ​28, yet U.S. military flights into Nanyuki continued in the days that followed, according to data from flight-tracking service Flightradar24.

 Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice sentenced to 30 days in jail after probation violation in Dallas crash case

 Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been ordered to serve 30 days in jail after violating the terms of his probation by testing positive for marijuana, stemming from his involvement in a high-speed crash that injured multiple people on a Dallas highway two years ago. Prosecutors said Rice’s jail time is part of the sentence imposed in July, when he pleaded guilty to third-degree felony charges related to a collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway, causing bodily injury. As part of a plea agreement, he received five years of deferred probation along with the 30-day jail term as a condition of that probation.

Officials said Rice’s recent probation violation triggered the requirement that he now serve the jail portion of his sentence. The Chiefs declined to comment on the ruling, and the NFL said it was aware of the situation but would not offer further comment. The timing could affect Rice’s availability during the NFL offseason program, including organized team activities and minicamp.

The case stems from a March 30, 2024, incident in which Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus at 119 mph on North Central Expressway, making what prosecutors described as aggressive maneuvers before striking multiple vehicles. Authorities said he then left the scene on foot without checking on those injured. Rice later acknowledged the incident and said he had grown from the experience, noting he had “completely changed” during training camp ahead of last season.

He previously served a six-game suspension under the NFL’s personal conduct policy and has also dealt with a knee injury during his career. Despite the setbacks, Rice has contributed to the Chiefs over three seasons and was part of the team’s Super Bowl championship run in the 2023 season.
