Adam Schenk, Braden Thornberry share third-round lead in Bermuda

(Photo credit: Marc Lebryk-Imagn Images) Adam Schenk shot a 4-under 67 Saturday to share the lead with Braden Thornberry at 12-under 201 after three rounds of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship in Southampton, Bermuda. Thornberry carded a 69 on Saturday heading into the final round at the Port Royal Golf Course. Four players -- Max McGreevy, Chandler Phillips, Takumi Kanaya of Japan and 36-hole leader Adam Hadwin of Canada -- are just a shot behind the leaders at 11-under 202. Hadwin is the only player in the group with a PGA Tour victory. Schenk, who is 134th in the FedEx Cup fall points standings, had four birdies and no bogeys in strong wind on Saturday. His birdies came on the 10th, 11th, 13th and 17th holes. While he is the 54-hole leader or co-leader for the fifth time his PGA career, he is still seeking his first victory in his 243rd start. 'A great opportunity to have for tomorrow,' Schenk said Saturday. 'I know if I don't, I have to go to Q-School if I don't get inside the top 100, so that's a pretty big motivator and what a great opportunity to have tomorrow.' Thornberry, a PGA Tour rookie who is No. 178 in the points standings, had an eagle on the par-5 17th, along with three birdies and two bogeys, in the third round. Thornberry said he's looking forward to the final round. 'I'm super excited. It's a battle out there,' he said. Rikuya Hoshino of Japan was the lone golfer at 10-under 203 after a 67 on Saturday, and four players were tied at 9-under 204. --Field Level Media

Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter reunite for Broadway debut

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter had a heartfelt reunion as they marked their first Broadway performance, Waiting for Godot. The two actors and long-time best friends, first starred together in 1989 sci-fi comedy Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Discussing about their first time at the world famous theatre, Winter told The Guardian, "I knew that this was a mammoth undertaking, and the only reason I felt we could pull it off was that it was the two of us together. There’s immediate comfort knowing we can trust each other completely." The outlet also noted their "unmatched comedic chemistry” throughout the show." Reeves also shared his experience with Winter told the People magazine that it was “mind-blowing” and called the whole thing “a dream come true, more than I can ever dream of.” In an interview with the Broadway Buzz, when asked what he’s most looking forward to about bringing Waiting for Godot to Broadway, Reeves lauded Winter and said that he is looking forward to play alongside him. Jamie Lloyd, an Olivier Award-winning director, is the director of Samuel Beckett’s absurdist masterpiece. Supporting cast includes Brandon J. Dirden as Pozzo, Michael Patrick Thornton as Lucky. “What this play gives me an opportunity to do is to learn more about myself than even I knew,” said Dirden. Thornton agreed. “We get the thing from the playwright. We try to figure it out and lend our soul to it in rehearsal. And then we hand it off at curtain call, and it’s yours.” Previews started on September 13 at the Hudson Theatre with the production running through January 4, 2026.

Switzerland hanya selangkah ke Piala Dunia

GENEVA: Switzerland hampir memastikan tempat automatik ke Piala Dunia 2026 selepas menumpaskan Sweden 4-1 pada aksi Kumpulan B awal pagi tadi, menyaksikan mereka menghuni tangga teratas dengan kelebihan jaringan besar berbanding Kosovo di tempat kedua. Switzerland kini mengumpul 13 mata, tiga mata di depan Kosovo yang menewaskan Slovenia 2-0 di gelanggang lawan. Mereka akan menentang Kosovo pada aksi kelayakan terakhir awal pagi Rabu ini, namun dengan kelebihan jaringan 12 berbanding satu, Kosovo kemungkinan hanya mampu menghuni tangga kedua kumpulan. Tuan rumah bermula garang apabila Breel Embolo membuka tirai jaringan pada minit ke-13 menerusi rembatan tepat padu. Namun pada minit ke-33, Benjamin Nygren menyamakan kedudukan untuk Sweden yang mengakhiri babak pertama dengan aksi mantap di bawah bimbingan jurulatih baharu mereka, Graham Potter. Didorong sorakan penyokong tuan rumah, Switzerland kembali mendahului pada minit ke-60 apabila penjaga gol Sweden, Viktor Johansson didapati menjatuhkan Embolo dalam kotak penalti ketika cuba menangani bola hantaran ke belakang dan Granit Xhaka menyudahkan sepakan penalti dengan tenang. Switzerland kembali mendahului dan mengesahkan kemenangan menerusi gol ketiga pada minit ke-75 apabila Dan Ndoye mengatasi Johansson dengan tenang sebelum pemain gantian Johan Manzambi menambah gol keempat pada masa kecederaan. – REUTERS

Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], November 16 (ANI): Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Saturday launched a major state-wide anti-drug campaign against synthetic narcotics, especially chitta (heroin), by flagging off a 3-km walkathon at Shimla's Ridge. The initiative marks the beginning of what the government is calling a "people's movement" to eradicate drugs from the state.Sukhu said the government and police would work jointly to mobilise communities across Himachal Pradesh."We have today launched a people's movement... We must remove chitta and build a new drug-free Himachal... In the coming months, strict action will be taken against drug peddlers," he saidHe added that the campaign would be expanded to all districts."Every person in society must join this movement... You will soon see tough steps to eliminate chitta," he said.Himachal Pradesh DGP Ashok Tiwari said the CM's direction was a clear message for a collective fight against synthetic drugs."The Chief Minister has given a clear message that we must fight chitta across the state... This cannot be fought by the police or government alone," he said.He added, "This is a message for the entire country that Himachal has united against chitta," said Tiwari.Technical Education Minister Rajesh Dharmani said protecting the youth from drugs was a top priority."The government's priority is to keep youth away from drugs...

EDITORIAL: Three myths about the 'clean economy'

Second, that Canada would hit the government’s industrial greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. Third, that most Canadian households would be financially better off as a result. To the contrary, a recent study by the fiscally conservative Fraser Institute estimates that over the past decade, the federal, Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and B.C. governments have spent or foregone revenues of $158 billion in inflation-adjusted 2024 dollars to create a mere 68,000 “clean energy” jobs. That’s an estimated cost of $2.3 million per job. “Governments, activists and special interests groups have been making a lot of claims about the opportunities of a clean economic transition, but after a decade of policy interventions and more than $150 billion in taxpayers’ money, the results are underwhelming,” said Elmira Aliakbari, co-author of the study titled The Fiscal Cost of Canada’s Low-Carbon Economy. A second Fraser Institute study – Sizing Canada’s Clean Economy – concluded that after almost a decade of federal and provincial governments funnelling billions of dollars into the “clean economy” from 2014 to 2023, its percentage of Canada’s total economy of $3.3 trillion barely moved from 3.1% of GDP to 3.6%.

An Asian earthworm may be ruining your yard, garden. What to know about jumping worms - Detroit Free Press

An invasive Asian earthworm is causing environmental damage, and officials are taking notice of its presence in Michigan. "Michigan State University Extension is beginning to receive sporadic reports of invasive jumping worms within some regions of the state," the Extension said in an October press release. While nearly all earthworms found in North America were introduced from Europe or elsewhere, the Asian worms, introduced in the late 1800s, are known as jumping worms, Alabama jumpers, disco worms, Jersey wrigglers, crazy worms, snake worms and even wood eels for species found inside rotting logs. They're causing damage to the environment more quickly than other arrivals.

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau Reacts to Justin Trudeau, Katy Perry Romance

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau is keeping her priorities straight. The motivational speaker—who separated from Justin Trudeau in 2023—shared how she handles the former Canadian prime minister’s life in the public eye amid his rumored romance with Katy Perry. “We’re human beings and stuff affects us,” she told Arlene Dickinson during the Nov. 12 episode of the Arlene Is Alone podcast. “How you react to stuff is your decision. So I choose to try to listen to the music instead of the noise.” While Arlene didn’t mention Katy, 41, by name, the Dragons’ Den star pointed to “the publicness of what Justin is doing” after joking about his and Sophie’s post-breakup dating lives. But as the politician seemingly gets closer with the “Roar” singer—who recently soft launched their relationship on social media—Sophie is focused on her own growth. “I’m very aware that a lot of public stuff out there can be triggers,” she continued, noting, “The woman I become through this is my decision.”

The rise of ‘durking’: Why some Russians find peace in mental hospitals

A headline recently caught my eye: “Zoomers practice durking.” Every word in that sentence demands translation. Not for you, dear reader – I know you’re an enlightened sort, fit and well-versed in modern life – but for the sake of accuracy. First, “Zoomers.” These are people born roughly between the mid-1990s and early 2010s. Those who have never known a world without the internet, smartphones, and digital noise. In other words, young people. Then there’s “practice,” meaning to do something deliberately and repeatedly. And finally, “durking.” This one, oddly enough, makes a certain sense. By analogy with the trendy “monasterying,”where tired twenty-somethings escape to monasteries for a few weeks of manual labor and silence, “durking” refers to voluntarily checking into a psychiatric clinic for rest and treatment. Yes, you read that correctly. Young Russians are now signing themselves into mental hospitals, not because of acute illness, but to escape the world. More than a billion people globally suffer from mental health disorders. Psychiatrists often joke that there are no “normal” people, only undiagnosed ones. In that sense, the pool of potential patients is endless. In recent years, mental illness has been destigmatized almost entirely. Visiting a therapist is now as ordinary as getting a haircut – especially in large cities, where it has even become fashionable. On social media, you’ll find every second young woman showing off her certificate from a three-week “psychology coaching” course, now calling herself a “coach-psychologist.” The market for mental guidance is booming. For many young urban Russians, mental health has become part of identity. Anxiety, depression, ADHD. These are badges of belonging. To reach adulthood without at least one diagnosis is, for some, to seem suspiciously uninteresting. When I was in school, the coming-of-age rituals were vodka, cigarettes, and stories about sex. Perhaps therapy is healthier – but it’s hard to shake the sense that neurosis itself has become a social currency. The mass turn toward psychiatry stems not only from rising stress but from self-diagnosis. People feel something is wrong – and they’re often right. The defining word of our age is anxiety. Anxiety is as old as agriculture. When humans first began cultivating crops 20,000 years ago, they learned to think about tomorrow. And when you start worrying about the future – the harvest, the weather, the neighbors – anxiety becomes inevitable. In the modern era, constant exposure to bad news, notifications, and political noise keeps that anxiety humming at a high pitch. Only cat videos offer momentary relief, and even they can’t save us forever. So, how do young people restore balance? Increasingly, by seeking help – or at least refuge – in clinics. A stay in a private psychiatric hospital costs $150-$190 a day. Those without such means can go through the public system, though it requires registration with a psychoneurological clinic. Given how widespread certain prohibited substances are among the youth, this is often not a difficult formality. Inside, the experience is far from grim. Phones are allowed for just half an hour a day, typically for family calls. Patients receive daily vitamin drips, medical consultations, and rest. They are given medication, board games, clean linens, and four meals a day. To put it bluntly, it’s a sanatorium with a psychiatric accent. The younger generation knows nothing of punitive psychiatry, the locked wards and Soviet horrors. Today’s clinics are humane, comfortable, and even chic if you can pay. It wasn’t always this way. Two decades ago, the very word sanatorium carried a smell of Soviet mustiness. In those days, people dreamt of the Alps, the Maldives, or Milan, not mineral baths and pine forests. But the wheel has turned. Now, quiet retreats are fashionable again. Health resorts promising detox from digital life and isolation from “information noise” are booked solid. It’s a paradox of modern life: the freer people become, the more they crave controlled environments. Pushkin once wrote that there is no happiness in life, only peace and freedom. Today’s youth would likely settle for peace alone. The Russian tradition of “durking,” it turns out, has deep cultural roots. Our poets did it long before it became a lifestyle trend. In 1925, Sergey Yesenin, worn out by creativity and vodka, checked into the Kremlin Clinic in the Caucasus for treatment. It didn’t help. He left in worse spirits and soon ended his life at the Angleterre Hotel. Vladimir Vysotsky, too, was a frequent visitor to psychiatric hospitals, often for alcoholism. His song Letter to the Editors of “The Obvious, The Incredible” from a Madhouse was written after one such stay. Even Joseph Brodsky once spent time at Leningrad Psychiatric Hospital No. 2, which he later described as “not unpleasant,” though he had no desire to return, he’d “gained all the new experiences he could.” Madness and melancholy have long walked hand in hand with Russian creativity. The only difference is that now, the journey is voluntary and comes with better catering. Is “durking” a problem? Perhaps. But it also reveals something deeply human: the desire to step away from the madness of the outside world, even if only by pretending to be mad oneself. In an age of constant connection, silence has become the rarest luxury. Our grandparents queued for trade-union vouchers to sanatoriums; our youth queue for places in psychiatric clinics. The motivations are the same: to rest, to recover, to find a little peace. Every generation travels the same road in its own way. Today’s young Russians simply call it therapy.

Stroke victim's ancestors assist in miracle recovery

When Peter Sykes 'died', he found himself in a room full of spirits he recognised as relatives guiding him towards an open door. But something, or someone, told him it was not his time and after a month-long coma following a stroke, he woke in a Sydney hospital to a family shocked and delighted to see him alive and functioning so well. The ancestors he felt had greeted him in his near-death experience were also to see Mr Sykes through his miraculous recovery - researching and documenting them became the pastime that helped him recover physical and cognitive function. Starting with a single finger, he typed thousands of names, recalled relationships and mapped generations. Today, the 56-year-old from Gladesville's tree includes 17,000 relatives, spanning convicts, pioneers and Vikings based on his genealogical research. And more importantly, creating it has strengthened his memory, focus and hand co-ordination. "It took a few months … I first came across MyHeritage and started playing with it but it wasn't for another three or four months that I started to construct the tree," Mr Sykes tells AAP. "It was just so therapeutic because I still to this day have fine motor skill issues with my right hand, memory issues and concentration issues. "Using a mouse with my right hand, being able to control it, click on the names, scroll through the family histories - it was just a really incredible exercise. "It was captivating and focused my mind." The online genealogy platform he used boasts access to almost 37 billion historical records and a database of 9.8 million DNA kits supported in 42 languages. Months earlier, Mr Sykes had faced a medical emergency that left him close to the end. "'The good news is you don't have a heart murmur but the bad news is you've got a really, really, really big aortic aneurysm on your aortic limb'," he recalls being told in December 2020. During open-heart surgery in early February, he lost so much blood he suffered a massive stroke on the table and was left in a coma. With no sign of improvement after a month, and warnings that if he did wake he would likely be in a vegetative state, his wife and sons had to make the heartbreaking decision to turn off the life-support machine. They had 24 hours to say their goodbyes. One son went to Mary MacKillop church in North Sydney to pray, bringing back a medal of the Australian saint. "He was quite upset and came back up to the bed where I was in the ICU and tossed the medal down saying, 'so much for bloody Mary MacKillop'," Mr Sykes says. "The next day I woke up. "The intensive care specialist from the hospital rang to say, 'deal's off, he's woken up'." During the coma, Mr Sykes says he felt himself somewhere between life and death. "I felt as though I was in an ante-room. There were like two doors and there were spirits hovering around," he says. "I felt the presence of family members - I believe one of them definitely was my sister - and I felt the presence of a very, very, very powerful figure who I believe was Michael the Archangel. "It was calm, it was pleasant. I was being attracted to one of the doors … then he said: 'No, not your time. You've got to go back'." Whether it was his ancestors, an angel or just incredible good fortune, Mr Sykes' recovery has flabbergasted everyone around him. "All the doctors that have listened to my story agreed that without doubt it is a dead-set miracle that I survived, let alone recovered to the extent I have," he says. Strokes are one of Australia's biggest killers and someone in the country suffers one every 11 minutes, according to the Stroke Foundation. And it's not just older Australians who are impacted, with one in four sufferers aged under 65. "Traditionally, when you think of a stroke, you think of your grandfather or grandmother having one," CEO Lisa Murphy said recently. "So, that's an image that you've got in your head." A stroke will attack up to 1.9 million brain cells per minute and while everybody's experience is different, patients can lose vision, speech, mobility and/or cognitive function. Physical and cognitive function can be recoverable with extensive rehabilitation and therapy in some cases. But Mr Sykes, who previously worked in government relations and agribusiness, attributes his unique technique to his astounding recovery. "I could just feel my memory improving," he said of the genealogy studies. "I could feel the improvement in my mouse use and the writing and making notes. The whole thing was really quite therapeutic." Mr Sykes now tries to use his story to help others. "One, see a cardiologist once you turn 50 and get an echocardiogram. Even if there's nothing wrong. You don't want to risk putting your family through what my family went through if it can be prevented," he says. "The second thing is be kind to people because there's definitely something on the other side and you really, really, really don't want to miss out on it." Australian Associated Press

RHOSLC's Lisa Barlow Slams Costars' "Desperate" Lies About Her

Lisa Barlow is feeling pretty icy towards most of her Bravo costars. In fact, after many of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City ladies accused Lisa of leaking defamatory stories about them to the press over the years, the Vida Tequila founder is firing back amid the season six drama. "If you wanna worry about the leaks, don't do things that are gona get leaked," Lisa exclusively told E! News' Erin Lim Rhodes Nov. 14 at BravoCon 2025 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. "It definitely wasn't me, but there are some very interested, invested fans on Reddit and Twitter and they are very open about the fact that it's them." Plus, Lisa is still waiting for proof that she's been secretly masterminding takedowns of her castmates through the media. "This is year five, I'm being accused of things I don't do and everyone knows I come with receipts," the series O.G. continued. "I'm like an accountant and they should be worried and cognizant of how their actions affect others. I'm sick of waking up to hate every day because they lie."

RHONJ's Melissa Gorga Shares Shocking Update on Teresa Giudice Feud

Reflecting on her and Joe's relationship with Teresa—mom to daughters Gia, 24, Gabriella, 21, Milania, 19, and Audriana, 16, with ex-husband Joe Giudice—Melissa doesn't want to see that continue to manifest in their family. "I, God forbid, don't want my children to see that there's a world where you don't speak to your brother," she emphasized. "You have to lead by example, so I'm always down to work it out and try to fix it as long as it's real and authentic." And it turns out, she and Teresa, 53, decided to make amends behind closed doors. "We did this with no cameras," Melissa added. "It is real. We're not doing it for anyone or anything.

Western aid feeding Ukrainian corruption – Italian deputy PM

Western assistance to Kiev risks ending up in the pockets of corrupt Ukrainian officials, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has warned, citing a major scandal that recently shook Ukraine’s government. He also argued against further military aid, warning that the EU was on “the path of death.” Salvini spoke as the Italian government approved its 12th package of military support for Ukraine and promised electrical generators for the coming winter. The decision coincided with a major scandal in Kiev over an alleged $100 million energy graft scheme involving Timur Mindich, a close associate and former business partner of Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky. Moscow responded to the news by calling it evidence of a “bloody hydra” of Ukrainian corruption reaching beyond the country’s borders and draining Western taxpayers’ money. Politico also reported on Saturday that the EU was also concerned over “endemic corruption” in Ukraine. “It seems to me that corruption scandals are emerging, involving the Ukrainian government, so I would not want the money of Italian workers and pensioners to be used to fuel further corruption,” Salvini told reporters in Naples on Friday. He added that ending the conflict depends on “silencing the weapons” and bringing both Moscow and Kiev to the negotiating table. Salvini also argued that it should be in Kiev’s interest to halt the fighting as soon as possible, pointing to continued Russian gains on the battlefield. “To think that sending weapons to Ukraine means Ukraine can regain the lost ground is naïve, to say the least,” he said, adding that he did not believe “prolonging this path of death will help anyone.” Salvini has previously criticized what he sees as escalatory rhetoric from other EU leaders. In August, he responded to French President Emmanuel Macron’s suggestion that EU nations could send troops to Ukraine by saying Macron should go himself. “If Macron wants, he can go – but I think he’ll go alone, because not even one Frenchman would follow him,” Salvini said at the time, prompting a brief diplomatic spat between Rome and Paris.

Trump's Threats to Nigeria as Christians Get Slaughtered: 'People…Are Very Upset'

A persecution watchdog is speaking out about President Donald Trump’s decision to designate Nigeria a Country of Particular Concern, a label that could help put pressure on the Nigerian government to help protect Christians under duress. Listen to the latest episode of “Quick Start” Joel Veldkamp, head of international communications at Christian Solidarity International, told CBN News that Nigeria was previously placed on the U.S. State Department’s Countries of Particular Concern list and was later removed by the Biden administration. The nation’s redesignation is welcomed by Veldkamp, who explained its significance. “There’s a law from 1998 called the International Religious Freedom Act that requires the U.S. government to maintain a list of countries that commit or tolerate severe violations of religious freedom,” he said. “And, once a country is on that list, the U.S. government is required to address those violations of religious freedom, including by economic sanctions, if necessary. Sadly, this list is quite political.” Veldkamp said there are nations that deserve to be on the list that aren’t and that Nigeria was one such country. “More Christians are killed in Nigeria for their faith every year than in the rest of the world combined,” he said. “And, yet, somehow Nigeria is not on this list. As the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom said, ‘This is unexplainable.’ So it’s a long-overdue step that the president has put it back on the list.” Veldkamp said experts are waiting to see what Trump will do next. The president released a statement Nov. 1 on his Truth Social account threatening to take action if Nigeria doesn’t take steps to protect Christians. “If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” he said. “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!” Trump implored the Nigerian government to move fast. Veldkamp said he was fascinated to see the statement from the president and wondered what policy process was behind it. Already, he said, the issue is making waves in Nigeria. “I was just talking to my Nigerian colleague about an hour ago, and he said, ‘People in Nigeria are very upset about this. The government is on its toes. They’re looking for a way out,'” Veldkamp said. “That’s a positive situation. That’s a situation in which there’s a potential for good change.” He said there needs to be follow-through on the part of the U.S., though, and questioned whether military force would be an effective solution to the problem. He said this isn’t a problem America and others can solve with mere bombs and weapons. Veldkamp also addressed claims by some media that it’s unclear whether more Christians than Muslims are actually being slaughtered — something CSI and other groups have closely tracked. “The real groups that are actually destroying Christian communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt regions are Fulani militias that are conducting a slow-motion ethnic cleansing campaign, attacking Christian village after Christian village, killing whoever they find, driving people out, burning the village or occupying it,” he said. “Slowly, with time, we’re seeing the map transform, and all these hundreds of old Christian villages are now gone and occupied by new people.” On one hand, he said Boko Haram jihadists are targeting Christians with the goal of setting up an Islamic state. On the flip side, he said Fulani militias are attacking believers, with the Nigerian government reportedly not doing much to stop the carnage. Veldkamp hopes Trump appoints someone to monitor what’s happening in Nigeria so that the U.S. can enact policies that help curb these issues. He said it would be smart for the U.S. to affirm that, if “the attacks continue, there are going to be penalties, there are going to be aid cutoffs, there are going to be fewer invitations to security conferences,” among other punishments.

Simon Harris said he has been “crystal clear” on the need for a statutory, public inquiry and that a memo would be brought to Cabinet this week. He spoke after a meeting during the week with the parents of Harvey Sherratt, a nine-year-old boy with scoliosis and spina bifida, who died in July after waiting years for spinal surgery. Harvey’s parents, Stephen Morrison and Gillian Sherratt, have said that in the time he waited for surgery, the curve in his spine went from 75 degrees to 130 degrees. Advertisement By the time he was operated on last December, the curve had reached the point where it could not be fully corrected, and had caused his rib cage to twist around his lungs and heart, severely restricting his breathing. Last weekend, allegations that Harvey was taken off a surgery waiting list in 2024 because Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) believed he was a palliative patient were reported. Harris said today that he and the Health Minister, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, had a “good meeting” with Harvey’s parents and representative groups at Government Buildings on Wednesday. “What we now intend to do is, the Minister for Health will bring forward a memo to government this week setting out that that’s our intention, and then also seeking to appoint a facilitator to work with the families and their representatives on terms of reference to get this right,” he said, speaking from Co Kildare. Harvey’s parents, opposition politicians and campaigners have called on Harris, the Tánaiste and former minister for health, to step down after he pledged in 2017 that no child would wait more than four months for scoliosis treatment. Harris said today: “Back in 2017 I gave a commitment in good faith that was given to me by the HSE – and if you look back at the Oireachtas committee, the then-director general of the HSE, as you’ll recall, gave that commitment to me, you’ll recall tweeted about it many, many, many times, you’ll recall gave evidence to the Oireachtas health committee many times – as did the then CEO of the CHI, but I also gave that commitment.
