World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Food manufacturers are recalling at least 60 types of pre-packed sandwiches, wraps and salads sold in major supermarkets because of possible contamination with E. coli.
It is understood these are items containing salad leaves.Retailers involved include Aldi, Asda, Co-op and Morrisons.Some 211 people across the UK are known to be affected by E. coli currently - up from 113 last week.
Experts had previously said a continuing outbreak of E. coli was linked to food that was widely and readily available - but had not pinned down specific items.One of the suppliers involved, Greencore Group, has recalled 45 different products, external so far.These include an Aldi chicken fajita triple wrap, Asda smoky beans and cheddar cheese wrap, Boots chicken salad sandwich, Sainsbury's Greek style wrap, Co-op ham and cheese wrap, Morrisons gluten-free sandwich platter and an Amazon prawn layered salad.Manufacturer Samworth Brothers Manton Wood has recalled 15 products., externalThese include a Tesco chicken salad sandwich, Tesco tuna crunch sub and Tesco spicy bean wrap.A third manufacturer is expected to announce a recall as soon as Saturday.Darren Whitby, head of incidents at the Food Standards Agency, said: “This is a complex investigation, and we have worked swiftly with the relevant businesses and the local authorities concerned to narrow down the wide range of foods consumed to a small number of salad leaf products that have been used in sandwiches and wraps.
"Andrew Opie, at the British Retail Consortium, said: "Retailers affected are taking swift action to remove these products from sale and are working closely with the Food Standards Agency to take any further action needed to minimise risk to their customers."E.
E. coli are a diverse group of bacteria that normally live in human and animal intestines.Some types are harmless but others can make people seriously ill.Tests have shown that the type in this outbreak is called E.coli STEC O145.It produces a Shiga toxin - which can attack the lining of the gut.Symptoms can include diarrhoea that can be bloody, stomach cramps, fever and vomiting.It usually takes a few days from being infected for symptoms to show.Most people recover well, but some - such as young children or people with underlying health conditions - can become very unwell.
There are things people can do to reduce the risk of infection.Regularly wash your hands with warm water and soap — alcohol gels do not kill all bugs that cause diarrhoeal illness.Wash fruit and vegetables and cook food to the temperatures suggested.If you have symptoms, you should not prepare food for others and should avoid visiting people in hospitals or care homes.People should not return to work, school or nursery until 48 hours after symptoms have stopped.
