Rabuka says he wasn't told the truth about suspected poisoning
Fiji's Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has directed his government to look into the suspected alcohol poisoning of guests at a Fijian resort last year. In December 2024 seven guests fell ill and some were hospitalised after drinking a pina colada at the Warwick hotel on the Coral Coast. At the time, the Fijian government released findings that no methanol had been found in the drinks' ingredients or blood and urine samples from the guests. But now, five months on, one Australian guest, Susan, who asked the ABC not to use her real name has spoken out, describing how she almost died and accused the Fijian government of not following through on independent testing. Responding to the comments, Prime Minister Rabuka said he's calling for the various government bodies involved to work together to get to the bottom of the case. "My first reaction and probably the most logical response from me as prime minister is that I have not been told the whole truth. I believe what I heard from my minister responsible for tourism that things had already been tested," he said.

The Beatles Bring Several Beloved Singles Back To The Charts
The Beatles' 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' and "Now and Then" both become bestsellers again in the ... More U.K., as the two singles return to sales charts this week. (Original Caption) The Beatles are shown at a press conference at the Warwick Hotel. Standing left to right are: Ringo Starr, (wearing polka dot shirt), Paul McCartney, John Lennon, and George Harrison. These days, when it comes to sales and streaming charts, The Beatles are more successful with albums. That's common among legacy acts, as fans tend to focus their attention on the full-lengths that originally propelled the musical icons to superstardom, as well as compilations that assemble their most familiar singles. The Fab Four regularly appears on multiple album rankings in the United Kingdom, where the rock legends remain most popular. While the focus is usually on albums, interest in several Beatles cuts grew last week. The band manages to push a number of tunes back onto different lists, scoring multiple bestsellers long after most music fron the rockers was released. The Beatles currently appear inside the top 40 on two separate sales rankings in the U.K. One of the group's oldest tunes, 'I Want to Hold Your Hand,' is a true bestseller once again. The track reenters the Official Vinyl Singles chart at No. 23. It lands just one spot lower, at No. 24, on the Official Physical Singles chart, which includes not only vinyl purchases, but also CDs and cassettes. On that roster, The Beatles don't merely bounce back — they soar from second-to-last place (No. 99) into the top 40. The band fills a pair of spaces on the Official Physical Singles chart this frame. 'I Want to Hold Your Hand' jumps more than 70 positions, while 'Now and Then' returns at No. 56. That comeback tune, marketed as the final release by The Beatles, was completed with the help of artificial intelligence and dropped in late 2023. 'Now and Then' was a quick No. 1 on seemingly every ranking it touched, including the Official Physical Singles chart. 'I Want to Hold Your Hand,' however, has never managed to conquer either of the tallies on which it appears. It has come close, peaking at No. 2 in the several months it has been present on these rosters — which didn't exist when The Beatles first shared the song more than half a century ago.
