What to know about avian influenza in dairy cows and the risk to humans
Why is H5N1, or bird flu, a concern, how does it spread, and is there a vaccine? Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions about avian influenza.
Boris Johnson has finally admitted that he has six children, a question he has previously dodged in numerous interviews and press conferences.
The British Prime Minister, speaking to NBC's Today show on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, was asked by an interviewer if he had six children, to which he replied "yes."
The number of children sired by Johnson has been a talking point in British politics for many years, after an English court discharged an injunction banning news organizations from reporting the existence of a daughter as the result of an extra-marital affair.
Johnson has four children with his ex-wife Marina Wheeler, one daughter from the affair, and a son with his wife Carrie Johnson, who he married earlier this year.
Johnson told NBC it was "fantastic" having a baby in 10 Downing Street, but that it was also "a lot of work."
"But I absolutely love it," he added. "I change a lot of nappies."
In August, Carrie Johnson announced on Instagram that the couple were expecting a second child and revealed she had suffered a miscarriage earlier in the year.
The couple's son, Wilfred, was born in April 2020, shortly after Mr Johnson had been hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms so severe that he was admitted to an intensive care unit.
Wilfred, the couple have since said, was given the middle name of Nicholas in tribute to the doctors that the Prime Minister said had saved his life following his COVID-19 illness.
It's unclear why Johnson decided now to confirm the existence of a child he has avoided talking about.
