Unpasteurized milk contaminated with the H5N1 virus, the avian flu virus that has appeared on dairy farms in nine states, was found to make mice rapidly sick, affecting multiple organs, according to a study released Friday.The findings aren't entirely surprising: At least half a dozen cats have died after consuming raw milk containing the virus. But new data confirms that virus-laden raw milk may not be safe for other mammals, including humans.“Don't drink raw milk: That's the message,” said Yoshihiro Kawaoka, a virologist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who led the study.Most commercial milk in the United States is pasteurized. The Food and Drug Administration found traces of the virus in 20% of dairy products sampled from supermarket shelves nationwide. Officials ...

For generations, the residents of Collyweston – a village in central England nestled against the River Welland – have passed down stories of a great Tudor palace, of royal processions through the valley below, of a king's mother who had called it home.For hundreds of years, the stories persisted, even as memory of where the palace stood faded. But the tradition suddenly came to life when a handful of amateur historians unearthed parts of the long-lost palace, buried under a few meters of earth. Historians at the University of York verified their findings.“We're a small village with a small group of enthusiasts, and what we've achieved here is nothing short of a miracle,” said Chris Close, 49, president of the Collyweston Historical and Preservation Society. “You know, it'...

Last week, Google unveiled its biggest search shift in years, showing off new artificial intelligence features that answer people's questions in the company's bid to catch up to rivals Microsoft and OpenAI.The new technology has since spawned a litany of falsehoods and errors – including recommending glue as part of a pizza recipe and ingesting rocks as nutrients – giving Google a black eye and causing an uproar online.Incorrect answers in the feature, called AI Overview, have undermined trust in a search engine that more than two billion people turn to for authoritative information. And while other AI-powered chatbots tell lies and behave strangely, the backlash has shown that Google is under more pressure to safely incorporate AI into its search engine.The launch also extends a ...

Aid trucks from Egypt entered the Gaza Strip on Sunday under a new U.S.-brokered deal to reopen a vital channel for humanitarian aid, the Israeli army and the Egyptian Red Crescent said. Egypt had blocked aid from entering the enclave through its territory following Israel's seizure of the Rafah crossing - which provides access to southern Gaza - in early May. The two sides have traded blame for the closure of that crossing, even as aid has piled up on the Egyptian side. After pressure from the United States, Egypt announced Friday that it had agreed to divert trucks through the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing, which is about two miles from the Rafah crossing, as a temporary measure.Some 126 trucks from Egypt containing food, fuel and other essential goods entered the Gaza S...

This is how Dr. Yuval Bitton remembers the morning of Oct. 7. Being jolted awake just after sunrise by the insistent ringing of his phone. The frantic voice of his daughter, who was traveling abroad, asking, “Dad, what’s happened in Israel? Turn on the TV.”News anchors were still piecing together the reports: Palestinian gunmen penetrating Israel’s vaunted defenses, infiltrating more than 20 towns and military bases, killing approximately 1,200 people and dragging more than 240 men, women and children into Gaza as hostages.Even in that first moment, Dr. Bitton says, he knew with certainty who had masterminded the attack: Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza and Inmate No. 7333335 in the Israeli prison system from 1989 until his release in a prisoner swap in 2011.But that was not all. ...

The attack was the latest in a prolonged bombing campaign against the city that has made life increasingly difficult and dangerous for civilians.Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, said 16 people were still missing, suggesting the death toll could rise.
