MONTREAL (AP) — Northern Quebec’s largest town was being evacuated on Tuesday as firefighters worked to beat back threats from out-of-control blazes in remote communities in the northern and northwestern parts of the province.According to the province’s forest fire prevention agency, more than 150 forest fires were burning in the province on Tuesday, including more than 110 deemed out of control. The intense Canadian wildfires are blanketing the northeastern U.S. and parts of Eastern Canada in a haze, turning the air acrid, the sky yellowish gray and prompting warnings for vulnerable populations to stay inside.The effects of hundreds of wildfires burning in Quebec could be felt as far away as New York City and New England, blotting out skylines and irritating throats.Late Tuesday, authorities issued an evacuation order for Chibougamau, Quebec, a town of about 7,500 in the remote region of the province. Authorities said the evacuation was underway and promised more details Wednesday....Construction job fair hosted for Opa-locka residents

(CNN) — Whether children were breastfed as infants and for how long may have an impact on their test scores when they are adolescents, according to new research.The report, published Monday in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, followed about 5,000 British children from their infancy in the early 2000s to their last year of high school, according to lead study author Dr. Reneé Pereyra-Elías, a doctoral student and researcher in the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit at the University of Oxford.The children were divided into groups based on how long they were breastfed: not at all, a few months, or for a year or more, according to the study. Researchers then compared the children’s results in the UK’s General Certificate of Secondary Education testing in their final years of secondary school.What the study team found was that there was a modest improvement in test scores associated with being breastfed longer, Pereyra-Elías said.Compared with those who never had bre...Pope Francis to undergo intestinal surgery under general anesthesia

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis is going to the hospital for abdominal surgery Wednesday to treat an intestinal blockage, two years after he had 33 centimeters (13 inches) of his colon removed because of an inflammation and narrowing of the large intestine.The Vatican said Francis, 86, would be put under general anesthesia for the procedure Wednesday afternoon and would be hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli hospital for several days.The pope was undergoing what the Vatican said was a “laparotomy and abdominal wall plastic surgery with prosthesis” to treat a “recurrent, painful and worsening” constriction of the intestine.A laparotomy is open abdominal surgery. It can help a surgeon both diagnose and treat issues. The statement said Francis was suffering from a blocked laparocele, which is a hernia that formed over a previous scar.“The stay at the health facility will last several days to allow for the normal post-operative course and full functional recovery,” the statement said.In...UK unveils plan to strip Chinese cameras from government buildings

LONDON — British government departments will have to remove all surveillance equipment made by Chinese companies under a plan unveiled under pressure from hawkish Conservative backbenchers.Ministers offered significant concessions to Tory rebels in the new procurement bill — which will set rules for companies competing for government contracts — over the use of security cameras made in China.The climbdown comes after a series of meetings between ministers and rebel leaders Iain Duncan Smith and Alicia Kearns, who had both put forward amendments aiming to toughen up the bill’s language.Under the new proposals, the Cabinet Office will create a National Security Procurement Unit and publish a timeline for the removal of cameras produced by companies subject to China’s National Security Law — which critics say allows Chinese authorities to demand to see material — from “sensitive central government sites.”Cabinet Office Minister Jeremy Quin said the measures would “protect o...Pope Francis taken to hospital for surgery

Pope Francis has been taken to a hospital in Rome for intestinal surgery, the Vatican said in a statement Wednesday — the latest in a series of recent health issues for the 86-year-old pontiff.Francis “will be placed under general anaesthesia” for a “laparotomy and abdominal wall plastic surgery with prosthesis,” which will take place this afternoon to treat an intestinal blockage, the Vatican’s press service said. He will remain hospitalized for “several days” for post-operative care.This is the latest in a series of health issues for Francis, who was elected as the head of the Catholic Church in 2013, following Benedict XVI’s resignation from the role.Francis underwent major intestinal surgery in July 2021, in which the left part of his bowel was removed. In March, he spent several days in the hospital, where he was treated for bronchitis.Police ID woman found dead on side of NH highway, announce arrest
