 UK ministers reviewing Ye’s entry amid backlash over London festival headlining U.K. government ministers are reviewing Ye’s permission to enter the country amid controversy over his scheduled headline performance at a London music festival this summer. The hip-hop artist, formerly known as Kanye West, was announced as the headliner for the Wireless Festival at Finsbury Park from July 10-12. The announcement prompted backlash due to Ye’s history of antisemitic remarks and actions, including releasing a song titled “Heil Hitler” last year and selling a T-shirt featuring a swastika on his website. Earlier this year, Ye publicly apologized for his past “reckless” antisemitic comments, attributing them to an undiagnosed brain injury and mental health issues. In a full-page advertisement titled “To Those I’ve Hurt,” he stated, “I am not a Nazi or an antisemite. I love Jewish people,” adding that he was “deeply mortified” by his previous actions and committed to accountability, treatmen...

 Seven Eritrean players fail to return home after international match Seven players from the Eritrean football squad that scored a historic victory in Eswatini last week have failed to return home, a source close to the team has told the BBC. While some of their teammates flew back from Eswatini's neighbour, South Africa, the seven are said to have absconded.

Only 10 of the 24-man squad wer...

 Flea-borne typhus resurges in Los Angeles, county reports record 220 cases Flea-borne typhus, an old disease spread by fleas, is making a notable comeback in California, particularly in Los Angeles, where health officials are urging residents to stay vigilant.
