Family's appeal as boy told cancer has returned on 16th birthday
The family of a boy from Lincoln have launched an urgent plea for a stem cell donor after being told his cancer had returned on his 16th birthday. Reece Khan has been told he faced gruelling treatment and has been given a one-in-five chance of survival by family was now working with the charity Anthony Nolan to find a stem cell donor. Reece's mother, Selina Niman, 51, a care worker from Lincoln, said the news had "broken" the family. 'Horrendous' Reece was initially diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a rare cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, when he was diagnosis came days before the first Covid lockdown in March Niman said it was "absolutely devastating" for the family, adding: "It was horrendous. And because it was Covid, we couldn't have any visitors up here." Reece, who has a love of baking and watching food programmes, also had further complications due to having Type 1 was told he was cancer-free 18 months ago after three and a half years of he started getting headaches earlier this year and later found out his cancer had returned and spread to his family said his chemotherapy would now be much stronger and he would need radiotherapy and a stem cell Niman said: "We're just broken as a family. We just don't know what else to do or where to go. Words cannot explain how we feel now."I just want to jump in his hospital bed and swap places with him." As Reece is mixed race, it will be statistically harder for him to find a stem cell donor. Charity Anthony Nolan said people from minority ethnic backgrounds often had rarer tissue types which made it harder to find matching donors. Reece's brother, Kyle, 25, has been tested and is a half charity said it was searching worldwide registers to find a full match and give the treatment the best chance of Bentley, head of programme and community recruitment at the charity, said: "It's vital that we raise awareness of stem cell donation and encourage more people to join the register."We know that younger stem cell donors give patients the best chance of survival. "That's why we're calling on healthy 16 to 30-year-olds to join the register now, so that people like Reece can have a second chance at life."

US Lowers Threat Level For Popular Caribbean Destination
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. America has reissued its travel advisory for Jamaica, decreasing its classification from Level 3: Reconsider Travel to Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution. The U.S. State Department issued the update for the Caribbean island on Thursday, saying it was "reissued after periodic review with a change in level." Why It Matters Jamaica has long ranked among the top travel destinations for American tourists, around 3 million visiting the island in 2023, according to the Caribbean National Weekly. The U.S. update to the travel advisory arrives at the start of the summer travel season and carries potential implications for both travelers' safety and Jamaica's vital tourism sector. Travel warnings influence not only individual plans but also insurance coverage and organizational policies. What To Know The main reasons cited for any concerns about travel to Jamaica are crime and limited medical services. Although violent crime in Jamaica has decreased since last year, it is still high throughout the country. The U.S. State Department cites Jamaica's homicide rates as "among the highest in the Western Hemisphere" and warns that armed robberies and sexual assaults are common. U.S. embassy employees in Jamaica are prohibited from using public buses and from driving between cities at night. Alongside high reports of sexual assault, "U.S. citizens report slow or unsatisfactory response to serious criminal incidents" with cases "infrequently prosecuted to a final verdict and sentence," the advisory says. Americans are also warned not to expect the same level of health care available in U.S. in Jamaica, to bring extra prescription medication and to buy travel insurance. Specific areas of Jamaica have been placed under a Level 4: Do Not Travel warning, with U.S. government employees working in Jamaica prohibited from traveling to certain areas. These are: St. Ann's Parish—Steer Town and the Buckfield neighborhood near Ocho Rios. St. Catherine's Parish—Spanish Town, Central Village, areas within Portmore, including: Naggo Head, New Land, Old Braeton, Portmore Lane, Gregory Park, and Waterford. Clarendon Parish—all of Clarendon Parish, except passing through Clarendon Parish using the T1 and A2 highways. St. Elizabeth's Parish—Vineyard District Community, between the communities of Salt Spring and Burnt Savanna, St. Elizabeth. Hanover Parish—Logwood and Orange Bay. St. James Parish/Montego Bay—Inland side of the A1 highway and The Queen's Drive from San San to Harmony Beach Park. Kingston and St. Andrew Parish—Cassava Piece, Duhaney Park, Grants Pen, Standpipe, Swallowfield, Elleston Flats, August Town, and downtown Kingston, defined as between Mountain View Avenue and Hagley Park Road, and south of Half Way Tree and Old Hope Roads. Downtown Kingston includes Arnett Gardens, Cockburn Gardens, Denham Town, Olympic Gardens, Seaview Gardens, Trench Town, and Tivoli Gardens. Manchester Parish—Green Vale and Gray Ground neighborhoods of Mandeville. St. Thomas Parish—Black Lane neighborhood in Seaforth, Grands Penn, Church Corner neighborhood near Yallahs, Town of Yallahs, except when driving through on the main highway. Trelawny Parish—Clarks Town. Westmoreland Parish—Russia community in Savanna-la-Mar (The Southeastern quadrant of Savannah la Mar east of Darling Street and south of the A2 highway/Barracks Road), Morgan Bay, Kings Valley, The Whitehall, Bethel Town, and Red Ground neighborhoods of Negril.

AP What People Are Saying The U.S. Department of State says in its advisory: "While violent crime in Jamaica has decreased since 2024, it remains statistically high throughout the country. Tourist areas generally see lower rates of violent crime than other parts of the country. "The homicide rate reported by the Government of Jamaica is among the highest in the Western Hemisphere. Armed robberies and sexual assaults are common. U.S. embassy employees are prohibited from using public buses and from driving between cities at night." What Happens Next The State Department updates travel advisories as conditions shift. Officials have advised that Americans should review advisories frequently and consider enrolling in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) for timely safety updates while in Jamaica or neighboring countries. Additional advisory changes remain possible as new safety data emerges.

Gangland enforcers slam reports of "truce" as they vow to carry on turf war violence
The crime group released the video after reports of a truce between the Daniel and Lyons family. Gangland enforcers Tamo Junto (TMJ) have vowed to carry on their turf war despite reports of a truce between the Lyons and Daniel families. We reported earlier that a well-placed source said the Dubai-based Mr Big behind attacks on Daniel targets, Ross McGill, had agreed to end hostilities after being leaned on by cartel bosses in Dubai. They were said to be 'unhappy' over a police crackdown on the turf war which has led to a slowdown in the lucrative drug trade in Scotland. But McGill's faceless gang Tamo Junto have since released a video saying the war will continue. McGill has been waging war on Mark Richardson's crime mob from Edinburgh and the Daniel clan from Glasgow since March after he was ripped off in a £500,000 cocaine deal when the buyer used fake bank notes. The video released by the TMJ crime gang on Friday morning states that anyone linked to the Daniel Clan or Mark Richardson remains a target for their group. The clip mocked their rivals for having fled their homes and promised that they would do their talking on the streets. They said: "TMJ will continue to target anyone associated with the Daniel family or Mark Richardson. "There will never be a truce between TMJ and the Gremlins. "We have terrorised you since March and will continue to do so. "Some of you have fled your homes. "Some of you have fled Scotland. "Some of you sleep with fire extinguishers. "Some of you have bulletproof windows. "Some of you have offered us money to leave you alone. "Some of you have tried to contact us for peace. "Some of you have offered us information on your own family and friends." "We do our talking on the streets. We aren't going away. "We will continue to target you. We have no rules or limits. "We are coming for you." It comes after we told that the Lyons crime gang have pulled out of the feud over concerns about the police crack down. The clan were said to have been feeding McGill information about their rivals, the Daniel family, but boss Steven Lyons, 44, made the call to concentrate on his own interests. A source said he issued the order over fears his enforcers could be arrested and jailed and his family would lose their grip on power in the north of Glasgow. Police Scotland has arrested 41 people in connection with a series of linked incidents across the country since March. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
