States' Ebola quarantine rules stir controversy
Aides to President Obama are criticizing decisions by three states to quarantine people who are returning from Ebola-stricken West Africa. They say quarantines may discourage health workers from traveling to West Africa to help block the disease at its source. Officials in New Jersey, New York and Illinois, who acted in the wake of a new Ebola case in New York, said they cannot rely on people to quarantine themselves. In New Jersey, nurse Kaci Hickox, who had been working with Doctors Without Borders with Ebola patients in Sierra Leone, became the first person to be quarantined under the new regulations when she arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport on Friday. Hickox has criticized the way her case has been handled.
As Seattle school mourns, teacher hailed as hero
As a Seattle community tries to make sense of a deadly high school shooting and four students continue recovering in hospitals, community members took some solace in a first-year social studies teacher who may have minimized the bloodshed. After a student opened fire with a .40-caliber handgun in the cafeteria of Marysville-Pilchuck High School on Friday, Megan Silberberger confronted the shooter, according to witnesses and the school union's president. Authorities have identified the gunman as 14-year-old Jaylen Fryberg, according to The Associated Press. The gunman was described as a popular football player, a homecoming prince and well-liked by his classmates. Community members were struggling to figure out what led him to open fire on several classmates, described as cousins and longtime friends.
Giants rout Royals in Game 4 to tie World Series
The Giants once again are alive, coming back to stun the Royals, 11-4, and tying the World Series at two games apiece Saturday in front of a frenzied crowd at AT&T Park. The Giants took advantage of a thinned-out Royals bullpen, scoring eight runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings to turn a close game into a blowout. Hunter Pence went 3-for-5 with three RBI, and Joe Panik and Pablo Sandoval drove in two runs apiece to lead the Giants offense as they rallied from an early three-run deficit to pull even in what's turned out to be a back-and-forth World Series.
Son: Jeb Bush 'more than likely' to run for president
Jeb Bush in 2016? George P. Bush said it's now "more than likely" that his father will run for president. "It's more than likely that he's giving this a serious thought and … moving forward," the younger Bush said in an ABC News interview that aired Sunday. Asked by ABC's Jonathan Karl if that meant the former Florida governor will "more than likely" jump into the 2016 race, George P. Bush said his comment meant "that he'll run. If you had asked me a few years back, I would have said it was less likely." Jeb Bush is considered a top candidate for the GOP presidential nomination and a favorite among mainstream Republicans looking for someone with executive and legislative experience, and who also has broad appeal.
Britain's war in Afghanistan officially ends
Britain's 13-year war in Afghanistan officially ended Sunday as it handed back Camp Bastion to Afghan forces, the Ministry of Defense said. Camp Leatherneck, a separate base used by the last U.S. Marine Corps unit in the country, was also transferred to Afghan control. The Afghan National Army's 215th Corps assumed control of both bases. As many as 10,000 British troops were once stationed at Camp Bastion in Helmand Province after the nation's military joined the war in 2001, a number that dwindled to just a few hundred. Some 453 British troops were killed in the conflict.
13 European banks flunk test, must raise money
The European Central Bank says 13 of Europe's 130 biggest banks have flunked an in-depth review of their finances and must increase their capital buffers against losses by 10 billion euros ($12.5 billion). The ECB said 25 banks in all were found to need stronger buffers — but that 12 have already made up their shortfall during the months in which the ECB was carrying out its review. The remaining 13 now have two weeks to tell the ECB how they plan to increase their capital buffers.
