[BBC] After a doctor at a private clinic linked the outbreak to the hospital, called THQ Taunsa, in late 2024, local authorities promised a "massive crackdown" and suspended the hospital's medical superintendent in March 2025 – but a BBC Eye investigation can now reveal that dangerous injection practices continued months later.
During 32 hours of undercover filming at THQ Taunsa in late 2025, we witnessed syringes being reused on multi-dose vials of medicine on 10 separate occasions, potentially contaminating the drugs inside.
In four of these cases we saw medicine from the same vial given to a different child. We do not know if any of the children were HIV-positive but this practice creates a clear risk of viral transmission.

When Mr. Wife was hospitalized in Bhopal with amœbic dysentery on a business trip in 1990, his local colleagues brought in new syringes and medications from an outside pharmacy rather than trusting the hospital’s supplies. Reusing needles and watering down medicines with untreated tap water was a standard cost-saving measure, even at the kind of facility accustomed to playing host to a connected foreigner.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A school shooting rampage in southeastern Turkey has left at least 16 people injured after a former student opened fire with a shotgun.
Special security forces were deployed to the Ahmet Koyuncu Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School in the Siverek district of Sanliurfa province following the brutal attack on Tuesday.
Governor Hasan Sildak told local media that the gunman, 19, took his own life with his weapon when police attempted to capture him.
'He took his own life when cornered by police,' the governor said. 'We have evacuated the school and will carry out a thorough investigation into this tragic incident,' he added.
Sildak said the attacker was a former student of the school and entered the school grounds before he began firing randomly. The assailant had attended the school for one year in the ninth grade, the governor added.
He also confirmed that the attacker had no prior criminal record and that the school had previously been classified as safe by police.

[NY Post] Los Angeles cops swarmed more than 90 street takeovers already far in 2026, making at least 79 arrests, impounding 114 race cars, grabbing four stolen vehicles and seizing four firearms. At least five people were shot at LA county street takeovers this past weekend alone.
Cops say the illegal gatherings are getting more and more bloody — and with warmer weather coming, things will only get worse.
“There’s robberies, rapes, shootings, murders, stabbings,” said Sgt. Jesse Garcia, leader of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Street Racing Task Force.
“It’s only increased and gotten more violent, more boisterous and just more brazen,” he added.

Every contributing factor of modern liberal thought is on display: fatherless, welfare households, no enforcement for petty crimes and even felonies, glorification of thug culture, meaningless "education" system, social media highlighting "gansta" culture, rampant anti-white racism, cowardly politicians, Soros DA's, and you get tribalism by social media. Territorial displays are merely the scent-marking of wolf-packs of "youths", as the panoply of "tolerance and liberalism" consequences spread.
Ask the AWFL's if they can see the meaning of "dystopian" in this yet?
[Breitbart] Mississippi is not the first state to make illegal immigration a state crime. In 2024, Iowa’s Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds made illegal immigration a state crime when she signed Senate File 2340 into law.
The year before that, Texas also put in place a law making illegal immigration a state crime. The Lone Star State’s law was immediately challenged in court, but the U.S. Supreme court gave the state the go-ahead to enforce the law while further challenges continue.
At least two other states, Louisiana and Oklahoma, have also passed similar legislation.
[BBC] Evergrande was once China's biggest real estate firm, with a stock market valuation of more than $50bn (£37bn), but collapsed into a debt-driven crisis in 2021 that has unravelled its business.
The court heard that the company had taken millions of dollars in pre-sale funding from potential house buyers that were not used for construction. Instead the funds were diverted to new projects which resulted in hundreds of unfinished properties across China.
Evergrande's downfall has often been cited as a trigger for China's persistent property market slump, which spiralled downwards in 2021 and has weighed heavily on the country's economic development.
At the time of its collapse, Evergrande had around 1,300 projects in the works across 280 cities in China.
Evergrande became known as the world's most indebted property developer after much of its empire was built on $300bn of borrowed money.
But its business was dealt a blow when Beijing introduced new rules in 2020 to control property debt in the country, leading Evergrande to sell its properties at big discounts to ensure that money was coming in.
[BBC] Physicists used to doubt it was possible to leverage the weird behaviour of particles in the quantum. They don't anymore.
Now we know they work, and in a few years we will have reliable quantum computers that we can hook up to High Performance Computers (HPCs) in data centres to exponentially increase their computing power," says Peronnin.
"It's not about being faster. It's about being so dramatically faster that you change what is feasible. We will be able to solve problems that are absolutely intractable with classical computers," he says.
For example? "It will make medicine an exact science." He is only half joking. "At the moment, the development of new medicines is largely a question of trial and error."
Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk (NOVOb.CO), opens new tab, which has fallen behind Eli Lilly (LLY.N), opens new tab in the immensely lucrative weight-loss drug market, said on Tuesday it is partnering with OpenAI to deploy artificial intelligence across its business, from drug discovery to manufacturing and commercial operations.
The maker of Wegovy and Ozempic said the partnership would use OpenAI's technology to analyse complex datasets, identify promising drug candidates and improve efficiency in manufacturing, supply chains, distribution and corporate operations.
Drugmakers are increasingly using AI to streamline the more tedious parts of drug development, from finding clinical trial participants and selecting sites to preparing regulatory filings, though industry executives say the technology has not yet fully delivered on the harder task of discovering major new molecules.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
