Travellers have been warned of possible measles exposure at Philadelphia airport after a person carrying the viral disease passed through the hub.

The incident took place in terminals B and F, and in areas used to connect to other terminals in C, D and E between Sunday, 13 September from 7.25pm to Monday, 14 September at 12.05am.

The individual with measles was travelling through Philadelphia and did not leave the airport.

The city’s health department confirmed that this is a separate measles case not connected to a recent outbreak at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

People who were at the airport on those dates are being asked to check their vaccination status and watch for symptoms.

Measles is a highly contagious virus that is spread through the air when infected people cough, sneeze or talk.

Unvaccinated people can catch the virus within two hours of sharing the same room or air space as those who are infected .

Early symptoms include fever, runny nose, cough and red, watery eyes, followed by a rash.

In severe cases, measles can lead to pneumonia, brain infection and death.

“This week’s measles exposures are a reminder of how important it is for all of us to be up to date on our vaccinations,” said Philadelphia’s health commissioner Dr Palak Raval-Nelson.

“Every Philadelphian who is fully vaccinated has little to fear from the situation at CHOP and the airport. Even more importantly, every one of those people is doing their part to help protect our most vulnerable from measles.”

Advice suggests that anyone who is not immune, is unsure of their vaccination status, is an infant, is pregnant and not immune, or is immunocompromised should contact their healthcare provider as soon as possible.

The exposure comes after a resurgence of measles cases across the US, with 3,472 cases recorded by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2026, an increase of more than 1,000 cases compared to last year.

Of all 2026 cases, 95 per cent of people were unvaccinated, or their vaccination status was unknown.

There has been one measles death recorded so far by the CDC this year.

A National Highways spokesperson said in a statement: “National Highways is advising motorists to allow extra time for their journeys following the closure of the M61 southbound this morning between Junction 4 (A6) and Junction 2 (M60) due to a significant oil spillage from an HGV.

“Oil from the vehicle spilled across lanes one and two as it travelled along the motorway, stretching for a distance of approximately 2km. Due to the extent of the spillage and the hazard it poses to road users, the carriageway has been closed to allow a clean-up operation to take place safely.

“Specialist equipment is being used for the clean-up and the HGV has been recovered. Motorists are advised to plan ahead, allow additional time for their journeys and avoid the area if possible, with reports of three miles of congestion and delays of 35 minutes.”

Sir Ranulph Fiennes was ‘unlawfully deprived of his liberty’ when he was placed in a series of care homes by his wife, a watchdog has found.

The world’s greatest living explorer, 82, has not been seen in public for two years. He is thought to have been moved through a series of care homes under a false name.

Friends claimed his wife Louise Millington-Cotes had strict control over who could visit and instructed staff to disguise Sir Ranulph’s appearance when out in public.

Now it has emerged one of the facilities where Sir Ranulph resided flagged concerns over his welfare with the relevant authorities and the police, The Daily Telegraph reports.

The owner of the care home in Wales wrote to the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG) to alert them of the medical arrangements made by Ms Millington-Cotes, including concerns about a ‘do not resuscitate’ document she provided.

Friends of the explorer and author are considering legal action to challenge her guardianship, it has been reported.

Sir Ranulph married Ms Millington-Cotes following the death of his first wife, Virginia ‘Ginny’ Fiennes, in 2004 from cancer.

They have a 20-year-old daughter, Elizabeth.

Sir Ranulph was reported to have spent time at a care home in London last year, where his wife asked visitors to sign non-disclosure agreements before being allowed to see him.

He was later moved and spent time at care facilities in Wales and Cheshire. Only his wife and daughter are thought to know his exact location.

Mrs Millington-Cotes is said to have failed to ensure a deprivation of liberty safeguards (DoLS) order was in place despite being alerted to it by a care home owner.

In a January email to the Care Inspectorate of Wales seeking advice, the owner wrote: ‘Currently [Sir Ranulph] is being deprived of his liberty unlawfully as there is no authorised deprivation in place which reflects the current residence and restrictions in place.

‘[Sir Ranulph] is under continuous supervision and control, is not free to leave and is not able to consent to care, treatment and accommodation.

‘As such, the provider is required to make an urgent and standard application under the deprivation of liberty safeguards as soon as practicable.’

The Telegraph reports that problems over Sir Ranulph’s care occurred because of the lengths his wife went to to conceal his identity from staff, residents or visitors.

The owner told the paper she said he was ‘an ex-SAS man whose life might be in danger from extremists’ and that staff at a previous care home had tried to kill him.

She insisted on registering him under a false name and that he wear a hat, sunglasses and gloves to prevent anyone recognising his face or frostbite-damaged fingers when out for walks.

DoLS, which are part of the Mental Health Capacity Act 2005, are designed to protect the interests of people who lack mental capacity, such as those with dementia.

A DoLS order must be made by two professionals not involved in an individual’s care and the person in care must have a nominated representative.

Care Inspectorate Wales, the independent regulator of social care, said: ‘Care Inspectorate Wales is committed to promoting the safety, wellbeing and rights of people who receive social care services across Wales.

‘It would not be appropriate for us to comment on an individual’s personal circumstances or care arrangements.’

Mrs Millington-Cotes is yet to comment.

Far-right activist Tommy Robinson has arrived at court to see the upcoming hearing of Danny Tommo.

The influencer, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, arrived at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court on Friday morning.

Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, is charged with criminal damage after allegedly slashing a boat in the English Channel with an emergency responder on board.

The 37-year-old, of no fixed address, was also charged on Thursday evening with failing to disclose the Pin to his phone to police, under Section 53 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000.

A dozen journalists are in the courtroom at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court and Robinson is among those sitting in the public gallery.

Chris Derrick from the Crown Prosecution Service said on Thursday evening: “The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to prosecute Daniel Thomas following an investigation by Hampshire Constabulary into an incident on Tuesday 22 September.

“Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to court and that it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings.

“We remind all concerned that proceedings against the defendant are active and he has the right to a fair trial.”

Hundreds gathered outside a police investigation centre in Basingstoke on Thursday evening in protest of Mr Thomas’ arrest.

A group of around 300 people, which mainly consisted of men wearing black, could be seen carrying Union flags and chanting “free DT’’.

Around a dozen police officers were at the scene monitoring the demonstration until his charge was announced and the protesters dispersed.

Chair of City of London’s planning and transportation committee, Tom Sleigh, said: “This was never a choice between the Tower of London and jobs. The City was here first. William the Conqueror started his tower in 1078 in the corner of a city already a thousand years old, and the two have grown side by side ever since. Independent inspectors have now tested the plan and agreed: the Tower is protected and the City has room to grow.”

Prince William made a surprising admission about his taste in films after admitting that he loves a “dark and deep” plot- with Christopher Nolan being one of his favourite film makers

Prince William has shared what one of his favourite films is, and it tells us a lot about his personality. When we see snippets of Prince William, it is often through the lenses of a photographer while he is on royal engagements with his wife, Princess Kate.

More recently, however, Royals have been featured and interviewed in a more candid way, with William recently appearing on Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights Podcast and Reach PLC’s very own Claret & Blue Aston Villa Podcast. Recently, The future king was interviewed by Thomas Duke, a British influencer, and interviewer best known for his social media channel Stepping Through Film.

The pair sat down for a chat in a cinema as Tom asked the Prince of Wales what film meant to him.

Prince William said: “I love my film. I’m obsessed. I mean, frankly, we could talk for hours about film. I love it, but it’s trying to find enough time in the day to watch a film, that’s the problem.

“What I love is that when you’ve watched a really good film, that feeling of watching it the first time, you never get that again with that same film. Each film I find is very different to how you had that first experience.”

The first director the pair talked about was Christopher Nolan, with Prince William admitting that he “absolutely loved” his films, and gushed about watching Oppenheimer last summer.

He said: “I thought it was fantastic. I love the way his characters kind of brew a bit, and he has always a slight, darker edge to his characters, which I really like.

“I think sometimes some of the films can be a bit too frivolous or a bit too sort of shallow. And like the way Christopher goes into more depth and more darkness in all his films.”

What is one of Prince William’s favourite films?

Tom then asked Prince William about the first Christopher Nolan film he ever watched, and his answers gave royal fans a real insight into his personality.

He said: “The one that left the most impression on me early on was Batman: The Dark Knight. I absolutely loved that. For me, I thought he completely revolutionized the Batman franchise for another generation.

“I liked the dark edginess of it, and I thought, Heath Ledger, sadly, [had] an incredible performance as the Joker. Just the whole undertones of the film were fantastic.

“It brought enough of the action, it brought the sort of intensity, it brought the complete believable world that is Gotham City back to life, which I thought was fantastic.”

Royal fans were keen to comment on William’s film choice after a clip of the interview was shared by Tom on TikTok/

One person said: “We got Prince William reviewing The Dark Knight before GTA VI.”

A second said: “Wild I live in the same reality where Prince William loves Batman lol, never thought I’d find anything in common with a royal haha.”

A third added: “Just two regular guys talking about one of the best Batman films? hell yeah.”
