#GlobalNews #ecoli #health If you get sick with an E. coli infection, it can really hit hard. Certain strains of it have the potential to wreak havoc. This week, more than 90 children have been affected by an outbreak across several daycares in Alberta. At least 22 were admitted to hospital. "It will cause our bodies to, first of all, want to get rid of it. That means a rush of water into your bowels, which then leads to diarrhea," Edmonton-based microbiologist Jason Tetro said. As Global's health reporter Katherine Ward explains, there are a number of ways an infection can happen, but some simple steps to mitigate the risks.

#GlobalNews #DannyMasterson #That70sShow "That ’70s Show" actor Danny Masterson was sentenced to 30 years to life in prison on Thursday for raping two women. The decision came after a Los Angeles jury found Masterson, 47, guilty of two of three counts of forcible rape during a retrial in May. Jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict on the third count, which alleged Masterson raped a longtime girlfriend. The third count was declared a mistrial and has been dismissed by prosecutors, who said they will not retry the charges. Outside of the court after the decision, L.A. County Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller said that it was the “right decision” in finding the 47-year-old former actor “accountable.” Mueller added that “even though it’s been 20 years, it still matters.

#GlobalNews #INDIA #G20Summit Indian authorities have increased security measures and deployed thousands of personnel to protect the India's capital, New Delhi, as it prepares to host the G20 summit, starting Sept. 9. As part of the preparations, slum areas in the city are being demolished, which the government has claimed is part of its continuous efforts to remove illegal constructions on government land. However, many activists have raised concerns over the government's motives and the impact on the affected communities. In addition to the demolitions, authorities have also started rounding up stray dogs in the city using nets and relocating them to shelters. The move has been criticized by animal activists, who argue that the dogs should not be treated as a nuisance, but rather provided with proper care and support. Friendicoes, an organization working with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), has captured 234 dogs using nets and relocated them to its three shelters in the city.

#GlobalNews #Cannabis #Marijuana New data shows a possible alarming trend when it comes to cannabis use and traffic incidents. A joint study from Ottawa researchers suggests that since cannabis became legal, more people are ending up in hospital emergency departments. "Since 2010, there has been a very, very large increase in cannabis involvement and traffic injury visits in Ontario. And if you actually look at how that changes year to year going into legalization, this is increasing. This is a growing problem over time," said Dr. Daniel Myran, lead author of the study. Data shows that after cannabis became legal, there was a 94 per cent increase in the number of emergency department visits for traffic injuries where cannabis was involved. When COVID-19 happened, there was an even larger jump of 223 per cent when compared to the pre-legalization period. #GlobalNews #Cannabis #Marijuana

#GlobalNews #Romania #Russia Romanian President, Klaus Iohannis, said on Wednesday that if the parts recently found in Romania are discovered to have belonged to a Russian drone, it would be a "serious violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Romania and the NATO allies."

Romania's Defense Minister, Angel Tilvar, told Antenna 3 CNN "I confirm that pieces which might be elements of a drone were found." Tilvar added that the area had not been evacuated since there was no indication that the parts posed any threat. Additionally, the fragments would be analyzed to verify their origin. #GlobalNews #Romania #Russia

#GlobalNews #summer #heatwave An early September heat wave is burning up the U.S. once again. Millions of people are under heat emergencies as multiple cities report record high temperatures, and the scorching heat is causing an unhealthy air quality for many. It's so hot that many schools that just reopened for the year are being forced to close. For two days in a row, students in Philadelphia have been dismissed early because of the heat, while schools in Baltimore are back to virtual learning, since many have no air conditioning. The blistering heat comes as scientists report the world just experienced its hottest three months on record, and the U.N. has issued an urgent call to world leaders to take climate control action. The planet has never experienced a hotter summer, and scientists say that more pollution and wildfires are expected if this trend continues.
