Emily Willis remains under round-the-clock care after suffering a cardiac arrest at a California rehabilitation clinic that left her with irreversible brain damage, according to her family and court filings.

Her family said she had been seeking help for ketamine and alcohol addiction and was optimistic about her treatment. But nine days…

Tottenham’s goalless draw with Everton extended their winless Premier League start and left Roberto De Zerbi’s side without a goal in their opening four matches. Spurs have now gone more than 400 minutes without scoring in the competition, with the 0-0 stalemate at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium greeted by boos at the final whistle. It was another blunt attacking display following last weekend’s goalless draw at Nottingham Forest. Tottenham managed only two shots on target, created one clear chance and recorded an expected goals figure of 0.64. Their best opportunity came inside five minutes, when Jan Paul van Hecke headed…

California has enacted a package of laws aimed at protecting children from the risks posed by social media and artificial intelligence, with Common Sense Media founder and chief executive Jim Steyer welcoming the measures as a major step forward.

Shark drone monitoring is being expanded along Sydney’s beaches after a series of attacks, including two deaths, but authorities warn the technology cannot guarantee that swimmers and surfers will be protected. The New South Wales government has launched a $120 million, two-year shark mitigation programme featuring near-constant daytime surveillance, two listening stations for tagged sharks in Sydney Harbour and smart drum lines designed to bait and release potential problem animals. It has also installed 51 traditional mesh nets between Newcastle and Wollongong, despite its own environmental concerns about the method. The measures follow a fatal attack on 57-year-old surfer Mercury…

Donald Trump’s childhood home in Queens has sold for $1.93 million after an extensive renovation rescued the property from years of neglect. The Tudor-style house in Jamaica Estates was built by Trump’s father, property developer Fred Trump, in 1940. The future president lived there until he was four, although the family has not owned the five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence for years. The buyer’s identity has not been disclosed. The sale appeared on property websites on Friday after a contract was agreed in July. Developer Tommy Lin bought the vacant house last year for $835,000 and spent a further $500,000 on an…

The US Justice Department has used a little-known court for the first time to seek the deportation of a lawful permanent resident to Afghanistan after she admitted being an “alien terrorist”, court records show. Nazira Haji Zada, 47, agreed to her removal after prosecutors alleged that she supported a plan by her son and son-in-law to carry out an Islamic State-inspired mass shooting on Election Day in 2024. Haji Zada was arrested at her home in Fort Worth, Texas, in July. Rather than bringing a criminal case against her, Justice Department officials began civil proceedings before the Alien Terrorist Removal…

A Fulton County judge approved the transfer of the enforcement action to Georgia on 17 March, allowing Sky Warrior to seek payment in Biermann’s home state. The ruling awards the company $52,500, plus pre-judgment interest, as well as…
