WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton was discharged from a Washington hospital on Tuesday and will be home for Christmas after he was admitted the day before with a fever . Clinton is being treated for the flu, Angel Urena, Clinton's deputy chief of staff, said in a statement about his release. “He and his family are deeply grateful for the exceptional care provided by the team at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and are touched by the kind messages and well wishes he received,” Urena said. “He sends his warmest wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all,” Urena said. The 78-year-old Democrat was hospitalized on Monday afternoon for testing and observation. Clinton served two terms as president from January 1993 until January 2001. He addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer, and campaigned in the fall for Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris , who lost the election to Republican Donald Trump in November. Clinton recently published his newest book, “Citizen,” a memoir about his life after the White House and the role of philanthropy in it. The Associated Press
In recent years, the issue of illegal immigration has been a hot topic of debate, not only in the United States but also around the world. With millions of undocumented immigrants residing in the country, the Trump administration has taken a bold stance in favor of expelling these individuals. President Trump argues that the presence of illegal immigrants poses a threat to national security, undermines the rule of law, and puts a strain on the country's resources. Therefore, he believes that it is imperative to take action to remove them from the country.As the investigation into the suspected poisoning incident continues, authorities have urged anyone who may have visited the bathing center and experienced symptoms of illness to come forward and report their concerns.

The mind behind the immensely popular Amazon Prime series, 'Clarkson's Farm', ignored medical advice to join a protest against changes to agricultural inheritance tax implemented by the Labour government, marching with numerous farmers in London on Tuesday. Speaking to The Times back in 2021, Clarkson pointed out that dodging inheritance tax was "the critical thing" propelling him to acquire land. Additionally, he had expressed on the Top Gear website in 2010: "I have bought a farm. There are many sensible reasons for this: Land is a better investment than any bank can offer. The government doesn't get any of my money when I die. And the price of the food that I grow can only go up." Revisiting those remarks in a fresh interview with The Times, the ex-Top Gear host confessed: "I never did admit why I really bought it. I wanted to have a shoot - I was very naïve. I just thought it would be a better PR story if I said I bought it to avoid paying tax." Chancellor Rachel Reeves has proclaimed that from April 2025, combined business and agricultural assets exceeding £1 million would encounter a 50 per cent inheritance tax reprieve, effectively settling at a rate of 20 per cent, reports the Express . The move signalled a shift away from Agricultural Property Relief (APR), a measure aimed at easing the tax pressure on farmers, preventing them from having to sell off income-generating assets to afford the costs. Properties valued under £1 million remain exempt from inheritance tax. Despite his strong opposition to the tax amendments, Clarkson told the press he doesn't wish to become the figurehead of the campaign, stating: "It should be led by farmers." He expressed that although he doesn't see himself as a farmer, he believes his role is to "report on farming" and highlight the issue of rural poverty within the sector. "One of the problems we have on the show is we're not showing the poverty either, because obviously on Diddly Squat, there isn't any poverty," he said. "But trust me, there is absolute poverty. I'm surrounded by farmers. I'm not going out for dinner with James Dyson. It's people with 200 acres, 400 acres. Way past Rachel Reeves' threshold. They are f*****." When questioned about potentially pursuing a political career, Clarkson dismissed the idea, saying: "I'd be a terrible political leader, hopeless. I'm a journalist at heart, I prefer throwing rocks at people than having them thrown at me." On Friday, Sir Keir Starmer reaffirmed his government's commitment to supporting farmers and pensioners amidst discussions on tax reforms and the decision to restrict winter fuel payments to only the most financially vulnerable pensioners. The Prime Minister, speaking to BBC Bristol, outlined his commitment to various sectors of society: "We're for working people who need to be better off, who've really struggled over recent years." He emphasised support for the health sector, saying, "We're for everybody who wants to and needs to rely on the NHS, which is on its knees, and we've got to pick it up and we will and get those waiting lists down." On housing issues, he added, "We're for the people who absolutely need somewhere safe and secure to live that they can afford. All of that has to be paid for." The Prime Minister also expressed support for farmers and pensioners, stating, "We are also for the farmers and the pensioners." Additionally, he reiterated his stance on agricultural policy, confirming that "the vast majority of farms will be 'completely unaffected' by changes to agricultural inheritance tax."
