In U.S. news
A child was fatally struck by a school bus in Greenwich Township, South Jersey, after getting off the bus near Bennett Avenue and Ashton Drive on Friday afternoon. Neighbors gave CPR at the scene, and the district has opened counseling and other support, with mental health professionals on site and a therapy dog at Clonmell United Methodist Church over the weekend. Both district schools will also have mental health support starting Monday while police and the bus company continue their reviews.
In Denver, a Frontier Airlines plane hit and killed a pedestrian who was on the runway as the aircraft was taking off from Denver International Airport. Authorities have not released more details yet.
In health and travel
Experts say the CDC has been unusually quiet as a hantavirus outbreak involving Americans on a cruise ship develops overseas. The WHO handled the risk assessment first, while the CDC later sent teams to Spain’s Canary Islands and Nebraska and issued a health alert to U.S. doctors. The agency says the risk to the public is extremely low, but critics see the episode as another sign of a weakened public-health response.
Passengers from the virus-hit MV Hondius are also being flown back to the UK and will isolate in hospital after the ship docks in the Canary Islands.
In Europe
Péter Magyar has been sworn in as Hungary’s new prime minister after a landslide election win, ending 16 years of Viktor Orbán’s rule. He says officials seen as remnants of the old order should leave their posts by the end of May, including President Tamás Sulyok.
In Spain, Europe Day was marked with a look back at 40 years since the country joined the European Economic Community, a milestone that reshaped its modern political and economic path.
In business and aviation
Apple has reached a preliminary deal for Intel to manufacture some of Apple’s chip designs, according to the Wall Street Journal. The move would give Apple more supply capacity, while Washington keeps pressing Intel to expand its foundry business, though the specific products and terms have not been disclosed.
Separately, an EasyJet passenger from Merseyside has received a suspended prison sentence after admitting he was drunk and disruptive on a flight from Sharm el-Sheikh to Liverpool. The court ordered unpaid work, rehabilitation, and costs.
