British counterterrorism police rearrested two men Tuesday in connection with an alleged terror plot at a British air base last month and said for the first time that they believe the men were working on behalf of Iran. The two men from London, a 24-year-old British national and a 25-year-old dual British and Iranian national, had been released on bail after their initial arrests on suspicion of planning to carry out a terrorist attack at RAF Fairford, a base in England used by U. S. bombers. In a statement Tuesday, the police said the men had been taken back into custody on suspicion of “assisting a foreign intelligence service under Section 3 of the National Security Act.” The statement said that “the country to which the investigation relates is Iran.”The British police had not publicly said that they believed Iran was involved in the incident at the base, though Prime Minister Andy Burnham said as much late last month. “There are strong indications that Iran played a part in what happened over the weekend at RAF Fairford,” Burnham told the BBC in an interview Sept. 30.

HEALTH & FITNESSLos Angeles County health officials announced the first two flu-related deaths of the season.(AP Photo/Daniel Kozin, File)Friday, October 23, 2026 7:43PMLOS ANGELES (CNS) -- Los Angeles County health officials Thursday announced the first two flu-related deaths of the season. Both people who died were older adults who had pre-existing medication conditions, which were not specified by the county Department of Public Health. One of the patients had not received a flu shot, while the other was vaccinated one week before symptoms began. Health officials noted that protection from the flu generally develops two weeks after the vaccine is administered. No other details about the patients were released. It was unclear exactly when they died. "These deaths are a sobering reminder that influenza can cause serious illness and even death," Dr. Muntu Davis, Los Angeles County health officer, said in a statement. "We strongly encourage everyone six months and older to get a flu vaccine as soon as possible. Vaccination remains the most effective way to reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization, and death from infection, for yourself, your loved ones, and your community.

Toronto police are searching for more information while making the public aware of a fraud scheme involving Greek Orthodox churches in the GTA. Investigators allege two people claimed they were experiencing financial hardship due to an ongoing court case and lawyer’s fees in an attempt to emotionally manipulate victims into giving them money.

It was a common problem, one that often generated newspaper headlines, a few days of scrutiny on talk radio and likely plenty of grumbling on social media. An Alabama city council would bicker over who had the authority to do what, and the mayor’s office would butt heads with the elected legislative branch. Arguments ensued. There was no single incident that prompted the Alabama League of Municipalities to push for mandatory training, said Greg Cochran, the organization’s executive director. Instead, a mounting number of disputes and other issues caused enough concern for the Montgomery-based municipal advocacy group to act. “There were many times we look at it (and thought), ‘if they were just engaged in the education training process, they would have known they didn’t have the authority to do this or knew the best practices to do that,” Cochran said. “That’s when it came to us that maybe we should make this mandatory.”The Alabama Municipal Official Training Act, approved by the Legislature in 2024 and implemented in 2025, continues to loom large over the state’s 466 municipalities and their elected officials.
