Dr Clare Bailey says her husband ‘almost made it’ after his body was found close to a coastal resort. Greek authorities have confirmed that the body of a man believed to be the missing British TV presenter Michael Mosley has been found on the island of Symi.

Mosley, 67, went missing after going for a coastal walk on the island.

“He has been found in the area of Ayia Marina,” the island’s deputy mayor, Nikitas Grillas, told the Guardian. “I can confirm that it is him.”

On the fifth day of what had become an increasingly frantic search, Mosley, 67, was reportedly discovered by a camera operator working with the state broadcaster ERT.

The International Organization for Migration warns that the number of internally displaced people in Sudan soon will top 10 million, as conflict and acute hunger spread throughout the country.

Mohammed Refaat, the IOM’s chief of mission in Sudan, calls the crisis unfolding in Sudan a “catastrophic human tragedy.” He told journalists in Geneva on Friday that he was speaking from Port Sudan “with a heavy heart and a profound sense of urgency.”

“Today, I am not just a representative of a U.N. agency, I am a voice for millions of Sudanese whose lives have been forever altered by the ongoing crisis. Families have been torn apart, communities devastated, and the future put on hold. The human toll of this crisis is huge,” he said.

The IOM says that more than half of the 9.9 million people displaced inside Sudan are women and more than a quarter are children. Additionally, it says more than 2 million people have fled as refugees into neighboring countries, mainly to Chad, South Sudan, and E

A popular resort town on Spain’s Costa Brava has banned inflatable penis costumes and sex dolls from stag and hen night celebrations, with fines of up to €1,500 (£1,276).

Platja d’Aro, whose population of 12,500 can host as many as 300,000 visitors on a summer weekend, is a favourite destination for bachelor and bachelorette nights. Numerous websites offer packages that include accommodation, cruises and male or female strippers.

The new bylaw specifically bans people from appearing “on the public thoroughfare without clothing or only in their underwear or with clothing or accessories representing human genitals or with dolls or other accessories of a sexual nature”.

The early results declared in South Africa’s election suggest the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party could lose its majority for the first time in 30 years. With results in from 13% of polling stations at 10 a.m. local time, support for the ANC stood at 42.5%.

The official opposition party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), had 26% of the vote, while the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) – a splinter party of the ANC – had 8.4%, data from the country’s electoral commission showed.

The respected research group CSIR modeled the ANC winning less than 45% of the national poll as of mid-morning on Thursday.

Officials of the Independent Electoral Commission have stressed that the official tally could take several days and some larger voting wards could take more time to be tallied.

In past elections, results from rural areas – where the ANC has major strongholds – have come in later, boosting results for the party.

The United States stated on Tuesday that Israel’s actions in Rafah so far did not constitute a “major ground operation” that would breach President Joe Biden's warnings.

WHO says a ‘full incursion’ into the Gaza city will only leave ill-equipped field hospitals and additional mortality. A World Health Organization official said the last working hospital in Rafah could stop functioning and a substantial number of deaths could be expected if Israel launches a “full incursion” into the southern Gaza City.

“If the incursion would continue, we would lose the last hospital in Rafah,” Richard Peeperkorn, the WHO representative for Gaza and the occupied West Bank, said on the sidelines of the World Health Assembly in Geneva on Tuesday.

Ukraine on Monday walked back an announcement that French military instructors would soon arrive in the country, saying that it was still in talks with Paris and other allies on the issue. Kyiv’s defence ministry made the “clarification” after army chief Oleksandr Syrsky said that the first French military instructors would soon arrive in the war-battered country.

“As of now, we are still in discussions with France and other countries on this,” Ukraine’s defence ministry said in a statement.

It added that it had “begun internal work on the relevant documents on this issue in order not to waste time on coordinating bureaucratic issues when the relevant decision is made.”

Asylum seekers from Sudan, Eritrea and Afghanistan detained in government’s Operation Vector share their stories. When Helen arrived at Yarl’s Wood immigration removal centre, she was taken to her cell and handed some cleaning spray and wipes and told to use them before making up her bed. She had no idea why she had been arrested when she went to report.

“They told me I had been detained for Rwanda and tried to convince us to go voluntarily saying it is now the law and we have already been selected. But they didn’t explain to me why I had been chosen.”

“There were about seven of us women detained and we all tried our best not to think about being put on a plane and tried to support each other.”

She said that materials promoting the east African country were visible around the centre and made everyone feel more terrified.

“The walls in this place are tall and horrible and scary. I had never been detained before and knowing that the Home Office can take me to the airport and put me o

A heart-wrenching incident took place at Lake Anna on May 27, 2024, when a father and son tragically drowned while trying to rescue each other.

Israeli airstrikes on the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip have left at least 35 people dead & dozens more injured, according to Palestinian medics.

Russian forces have started military drills near Ukraine simulating the use of tactical nuclear weapons in response to what Moscow deems threats from western officials about increased involvement in the conflict. Vladimir Putin ordered the drills earlier this month in a move Russian officials said was a warning to the west not to escalate tensions further.

The Kremlin has particularly been angered by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, who floated the possibility of sending European troops to fight Russia in Ukraine, and by remarks from the UK foreign secretary, David Cameron, who said Ukraine had the right to use weapons supplied by London to target sites in Russia.

The Russian defence ministry published footage on Tuesday showing trucks carrying missiles to a field where launch systems had been prepared and troops at an airfield readying a bomber to carry a nuclear warhead.

The drills are taking place in Russia’s southern military district, headquartered in Rostov-on-Don, which

Only five of 16 aid trucks leaving the Gaza pier on Saturday had arrived at the warehouse with their cargo, said a UN World Food Program spokesman. The deliveries had to be suspended for two days after the trucks were intercepted by a crowd. The entire project is estimated to cost $320 million, and the pier was only installed last Thursday.

The $320 million pier project to deliver aid to Gaza has yet to connect goods with the people who need them.

Gaza's 2.2 million residents face months-long food shortages that have exacerbated already-poor health in the region. Humanitarian aid groups have criticized Israel for not letting enough aid trucks into Gaza, keeping critical crossing closed, and creating logistical hurdles.

Israel has denied the accusations and has blamed the UN for failing to distribute aid, which the UN disputes.

Pentagon press secretary Major General Pat Ryder said on Tuesday that the goods unloaded on the temporary pier that the US built off the coast of Gaza haven'

The Taoiseach has said the Great Famine is a tragedy that "will never be forgotten" and the unfolding famine in Gaza "is repellent" to the Irish psyche. Speaking at the National Famine Commemoration in Edgeworthstown, Co Longford, Simon Harris described the famine in Gaza as a "tool of war" and called on Israel to "step back and ensure the unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid".

"This is the clear demand of Ireland, the international community and international law," he said.

His comments on the conflict follow a diplomatic row with Israeli President Isaac Herzog over the Government's plan to recognise the state of Palestine before the end of the month.

Mr Harris said the Great Famine, also known as An Gorta Mór, was Ireland's "national tragedy" that has left "scars that never fully healed".

He added: "The tragedy was national, but the lessons are global.

"By showing empathy, compassion, and solidarity with those in need, we can ensure that the spirit of all those who died lives on i
