Two people in Great Britain who work on the same poultry farm have tested positive for bird flu, the country’s public health authority says.

The people showed no symptoms.

The two people are the first people to test positive for the virus in the UK since a 79-year-old was infected after he let ducks into his home in early 2022.

That the infection has been transmitted from bird to human has only happened a few times before, according to the authority.

The Russian information that it hit Ukraine’s most advanced air defense system, the American-made Patriot, appears to be partly correct, according to CNN.

An American official says that the system is probably damaged, but not destroyed – something that Russia claimed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, for his part, claims that all Russian projectiles were destroyed during the attack.

Ukraine has two Patriot systems, one sent by the US and one from Germany and the Netherlands. (TT)

Britain and the Netherlands agree to work for an international coalition to send F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. This is announced by Downing Street after a meeting between Prime Ministers Rishi Sunak and Mark Rutte.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi calls the announcement a “good start”. (TT)

A car and an A-tractor collided in Hultsfred municipality late on Tuesday evening.

Police, ambulance and emergency services were dispatched at 23.05.

It is currently unclear if anyone is injured.

An affected and confused man managed to get into the residence of Jake Sullivan, Joe Biden’s national security adviser, late one night in April, writes the Washington Post citing White House sources.

This despite the fact that Sullivan has round-the-clock surveillance outside his home in Washington by the Secret Service.

He managed to outwit the intruder himself and it was only afterwards that Sullivan was able to alert the agents outside about the drama they had missed.

There is no indication that the man knew who Sullivan is or that he was out to hurt him. But the incident is really embarrassing for the Secret Service.

An investigation has now been launched.

Several people employed by the US Embassy are said to have been shot dead in Nigeria.

A man in Jönköping county is suspected of having worked as an ambulance nurse for several months – even though he was not a nurse at all.

It reports P4 Jönköping.

The man is actually a nurse. A few months ago, he lied to his boss and said he had graduated as a nurse.

In the ambulance, he has cared for acutely ill patients.

– You don’t think it’s true. It’s something that shocked everyone, of course, how it could be like that, says Nils Höglund, trade union representative at the Health Confederation, to the radio.

The man confirms to the radio that he lied about his education, but claims that he never worked in the ambulance as a nurse.

Region Jönköping is investigating the matter and has not wanted to comment.

Two skeletons have been unearthed in Pompeii by archaeologists, writes TT.

Despite having died in an earthquake that occurred after the eruption of the volcano Vesuvius that buried the city in ash in 79.

The skeletons are probably two men, around 55 years old, AFP reports.

It is believed that the men died when the earthquake brought down a wall in the room where they sought shelter.

Archaeologists estimate that 15-20 percent of Pompeii’s population died in the devastating volcanic eruption.

The remains of more than 1,000 people have so far been found across the affected area. In 2020, bodies believed to be a slave and his possible owner were found.

Now the spread of influenza A and B is down to low levels. And with that, the flu epidemic is deemed to be over for this time.

That’s what TT writes and refers to the Public Health Authority.

In December, the situation was strained because flu, RS virus and covid-19 reached high levels at the same time.

“During every period of increased spread of infection, there are people who become seriously ill, but this winter was the first time we saw a simultaneous peak with all three diseases,” says AnnaSara Carnahan, epidemiologist and investigator at the Public Health Agency, in a press release.

However, the spread of covid-19 is still ongoing – and is expected to continue this summer as well.

A one-year-old boy died when a hippo attacked a riverboat in Malawi, reports say BBC.

The boat capsized in the attack, which happened on Monday.

14 people managed to swim ashore or were rescued by other people who dived into the river.

But 23 people are still missing, and hope of finding survivors is fading.

The boat is said to have been packed with people who were going to cross the Shire River to work in the fields on the other side.

Local politicians have long demanded that a bridge be built over the river – so that people do not have to risk their lives.

The police dog Joel in southern Italy has made the biggest seizure of his life. A total of 2.7 tons of cocaine were found in banana boxes that arrived in Calabria in southern Italy from Ecuador.

The BBC reports.

In this way, one could make the great find.
