LIVE NEWS: Hantavirus outbreak, Iran war latest, political headlines
The first plane carrying passengers evacuated from the hantavirus-hit cruise ship departed from Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands on Sunday for Madrid, where they will go to a military hospital.

Iran and its armed allied groups possess a large fleet of drones and have used them to carry out hundreds of strikes since the war began. The events marked the latest threats to a month-old ceasefire, which the Trump administration says remains in effect.
