May 20 (Reuters) - U.S. officials are working with Mapp Biopharmaceutical to make an experimental Ebola treatment available for people who may have been exposed to the virus, an HHS official said on Wednesday. The privately held biotech firm is working with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, known as BARDA, to supply the treatment for potential use in high-risk individuals as part of coordinated preparedness efforts, the official told Reuters. The investigational monoclonal antibody treatment was developed through a longstanding public-private partnership supported by BARDA to address Sudan virus, which is closely related to other ebolaviruses, the official said. Laboratory data suggest the treatment has the potential to be effective against the Bundibugyo ebolavirus, the cause of the current Ebola outbreak. The outbreak was declared last week and has alarmed experts because it spread undetected for weeks in a densely populated area. Any potential use of the product is being coordinated through a whole-of-government approach involving ASPR, FDA, and the Department of State, the official added. The official did not discuss specific supply levels, production capacity or procurement considerations. Bloomberg News first reported the development. The Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo that likely started two months ago has killed more than 130 people and is expected to continue to grow, the World Health Organization said. There is currently no approved vaccine or virus-specific treatment for the Bundibugyo strain, and any potential vaccine could take months to develop. Six hundred suspected cases and 139 suspected deaths have been recorded so far, with confirmed cases also reported in neighboring Uganda. The WHO has classified the outbreak as a public health emergency of international concern. First responders have said they lack basic supplies needed to help contain the spread. The San Diego-based Mapp focuses on vaccines and medicines for infectious diseases and previously developed an experimental Ebola drug, ZMapp, used during the 2014 outbreak. On its website, the company says ZMapp has been discontinued and lists MBP134, an experimental monoclonal antibody treatment targeting multiple ebolaviruses including the Sudan species, in its pipeline.

May 20 (Reuters) - A sinkhole on Wednesday forced the closure of one of the runways at New York's LaGuardia airport, prompting cancellations and delays and ongoing emergency repairs. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which manages New York City area airports, said at 11 a.m. officials were conducting a daily morning inspection of LaGuardia’s airfield when crews identified a sinkhole. The authority warned "travelers should expect delays and cancellations, particularly with forecast thunderstorms expected later today." The Federal Aviation Administration said it was slowing flights into LaGuardia Airport, due to weather and the sinkhole. About 200 flights, or 17% of departing and arriving flights were cancelled at LaGuardia and 190 delayed, according to FlightAware, a flight tracking site. Delta Air Lines is the largest carrier at LaGuardia, accounting for about 40% of flights.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — It's another hot day across the eastern U.S. a day after several spots broke daily heat records. While students elsewhere sweated it out in unairconditioned classrooms, the Philadelphia school district shifted to remote learning Wednesday for students in 57 schools. The National Weather Service said another day of record heat was expected from the mid-Atlantic to New England before a cold front brings rain later in the week. A heat advisory was in effect for portions of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island through Wednesday evening, with high temperatures and humidity making it feel like up to 96 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Right View with Lara Trump, May 23, 2026

Four U.S. Congressional representatives, all of whom were born in Cuba or whose parents were Cuban, praised the Trump administration's decision to announce criminal charges against former Cuban president Raul Castro on Wednesday (May 20) as the United States steps up its pressure campaign against the Caribbean island's communist government. "We are sending the message to the Castro family: it's time for you to leave. It's time for you to heed the signal from the White House that and do not fall into the abyss. You have the option not to wind up where Maduro is," said Representative Mara Elvira Salazar of South Florida, referring to former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro who is imprisoned in the United States. The charges come as President Donald Trump has been seeking regime change in Cuba, where communists have been in charge since Castro's late brother Fidel Castro led a revolution in 1959. The charges against Raul Castro, 94, are expected to be based on a 1996 incident in which Cuban jets shot down planes operated by a group of Cuban exiles, a U.S. Justice Department official told Reuters last week on the condition of anonymity. "To the Cuban people: This day is not just about bringing justice to the families of these four individuals and for these four individuals but also the first step to bring justice to the Cuban people," said Representative Carlos Gimenez, of Florida. Havana has not commented directly on the threat of an indictment, though Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez expressed defiance in public comments on May 15. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said on Monday that the island does not represent a threat. The indictment represents the latest instance of Trump's Justice Department using criminal prosecution to target his political adversaries at home and abroad. Historically, U.S. indictments of foreign leaders are rare. The U.S. has effectively imposed a blockade on the island by threatening sanctions on countries supplying it with fuel, triggering power outages and delivering blows to its already fragile economy.
