The last passengers have left the hantavirus-hit cruise ship, as authorities confirmed three new positive cases linked to the deadly outbreak.

The MV Hondius left Spain’s Tenerife island on Monday and is sailing to the Dutch port of Rotterdam. Two flights with the final group of 28 passengers landed in nearby Eindhoven on Tuesday.

Three people have died after travelling on the ship. An American and a French national who previously returned home have tested positive. Seven cases of hantavirus linked to the MV Hondius have been confirmed, with two others suspected, according to the World Health Organization.

US President Donald Trump has hit back at lawmakers who voted to send him a rebuke over the war in Iran, labelling the group “unpatriotic”.

On Wednesday, the US House of Representatives passed a measure that seeks to halt Trump from taking further military action.

In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote: “Yesterday, in a meaningless vote, the House voted, 4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats, to limit my War Powers, right in the middle of my final negotiations to end the War with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Who would do such an unpatriotic thing.”

It is unclear how much legal force the House’s measure will have. The White House has dismissed its merits.

Sir Gareth Southgate has said apprenticeships ‘have become a dirty word’ as he looks to tackle the issues facing young men when it comes to education and work.

Speaking to the Today programme about his new documentary, ‘Changing the Game for Young Men’, the former England men’s football manager said the issue is “complex” and pointed out that a lack of positive male role models can lead to boys looking elsewhere for guidance.

Sir Gareth also talked about the lack of vocational skills offered to those looking for less academic careers and said that a lot of young people are unable to gain the “work readiness” skills employers look for due to a decline in casual jobs.

The former footballer was also asked about England’s World Cup prospects, enthusing that he gets to “become an England fan again” after standing down as manager in 2024.

A new phase of the natural El Niño weather pattern is “on our doorstep”, according to UN scientists, boosting temperatures on a planet already under strain from climate change.

The World Meteorological Organization said El Niño is “very likely” to officially begin within the next few months, driving more extreme weather around much of the globe.

Several forecasts from national weather agencies suggest this El Niño could end up as one of the strongest ever recorded, nicknamed by some as a possible “super” or even “Godzilla” event.

Yet El Niño is not just a climate story – throughout history, this recurring weather pattern has helped shape global events, triggering everything from famines and revolutions to impacting the Cold War.

In this episode, we speak to historian Peter Frankopan, Professor of Global History at Oxford, to discuss what historical El Niños tell us about what could be coming our way, and how we can collectively prepare.
