Norwegian People's Aid NGO lays off half its staff due to Trump policy
Norwegian People's Aid (NPA), a humanitarian group that helps to demine war zones, will have to lay off more than half of its staff globally, following U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to freeze U.S. foreign aid, it said on Tuesday.

A doctor arrested in Germany over patients’ deaths is now suspected of 10 killings
A doctor in Berlin who was first arrested in August on suspicion of killing four elderly patients is now suspected of killing a total of 10 patients and, in five cases, trying to cover up the evidence by starting fires, investigators said Tuesday. The unidentified doctor, who was part of a nursing service’s palliative care team, was initially suspected of killing four patients in June and July and then attempting, with mixed success, to set fire to their apartments.
