'Mass methanol poisoning' which killed British lawyer and five others in Laos could claim MORE lives as 11 backpackers remain in hospital after drinking lethal shots In addition to the six deaths, 14 tourists developed methanol poisoning About 11 other foreign nationals remain in hospital fighting for their lives It is not yet unclear how and where the victims were poisoned By MEGAN HOWE Published: 08:49 EST, 24 November 2024 | Updated: 08:53 EST, 24 November 2024 e-mail View comments Eleven backpackers remain in hospital fighting for their lives after drinking lethal shots in a 'mass methanol poisoning' in Laos which has killed six others. British lawyer Simone White, 28, from Orpington in Kent died after drinking free shots allegedly laced with deadly methanol. Ms White was an associate lawyer specialising in technology and intellectual property at the London office of the American law firm Squire Patton Boggs. After completing her A-levels at St Olave's Grammar School, she studied law at Newcastle University before taking the fast-track course at the BPP law school. She was among six foreign tourists who have died from a suspected mass incident of methanol poisoning in Vang Vieng. In addition to the six deaths, 14 tourists who had been drinking in the party town developed methanol poisoning within days of each other. And about 11 other foreign nationals remain in hospital fighting for lives. It is not yet clear how and where the victims were poisoned. British lawyer Simone White, 28, from Orpington in Kent (pictured) died after drinking free shots allegedly laced with deadly methanol Authorities in Laos detained the manager and owner of the Nana Backpackers Hostel in Vang Vieng but no charges have been laid - the owner and bartender deny any alcohol served at their bar had been contaminated or diluted with methanol Ms White was an associate lawyer specialising in technology and intellectual property at the London office of the American law firm Squire Patton Boggs Melbourne teenagers Holly Bowles (left) and Bianca Jones (right), both aged 19, died following a night out in the party town of Vang Viang this month after drinking tainted alcohol Ms White's friend, Bethany Clarke, a healthcare worker also from Orpington, took to the Laos Backpacking Facebook group to warn other travellers. She said: 'Urgent — please avoid all local spirits. Our group stayed in Vang Vieng and we drank free shots offered by one of the bars. 'Just avoid them as so not worth it. Six of us who drank from the same place are in hospital currently with methanol poisoning.' Sue White, Simone's 'devastated' mother, shared how her 'kind, fun-loving' daughter and friends took 'six shots' each, watered down with Sprite, before falling ill and having 'trouble breathing'. She told The Sun how Simone and two friends took themselves to hospital the day after, but were 'dismissed' by medics, who told them they had food poisoning. By the time an ambulance arrived to take them on to a private facility, Simone was already 'delirious', her mother said, adding 'I think, basically, it had already affected her brain'. Melbourne teenagers Bianca Jones and Holly Bowles, both aged 19, died following a night out in the party town of Vang Viang this month after drinking tainted alcohol . The friends, who were on holiday on the island, became ill and failed to check out of Nana Backpacker hostel on November 13. Bianca Jones, 19, from Melbourne, (left) and Holly Bowles, also 19, (right) died in the mass methanol poisoning Jones and Bowles were evacuated to Thailand after asking hostel staff for help and died in separate Bangkok hospitals a week later with loved ones at their bedsides. American tourist James Louis Hutson, 57, was found dead inside his room at the Nana Backpacker Hotel in Vang Viang on November 13. According to the Vientiane Times, workers at the hostel had entered his room after realizing he had not left all day and found him unconscious. The outlet reported that he was taken to hospital, with police finding four empty bottles of beer and two empty bottles of vodka in his room. Meanwhile, horrific details have emerged about the two Danish women, Anne-Sofie Orkild Coyman, 20, and Freja Vennervald Sorensen, 21, who died, as it was revealed the pair were vomiting blood for hours after consuming the drinks. The disturbing final moments were a world away from the picturesque travel photo they shared days earlier after the pair happily posed with friends while in Vietnam. The Danish girls, originally from Roskilde, a town of around 53,000 people 35km west of Copenhagen, were avid travellers. Two Danish girls Anne-Sofie Orkild Coyman, 20, and Freja Vennervald Sorensen, 21, died in the Laos methanol poisoning The two women were reportedly staying in Nana Backpacker Hostel when workers found them unwell in their rooms after they were late to check out. Pictured is the hostel Ms Sorensen is pictured enjoying a drink earlier in their trip, while the women were in Bangkok The women are pictured in Vietnam a few weeks ago, with friends they made while travelling around South East Asia. Ms Sorensen is standing on the far left, while Ms Coyman is standing second from the right After graduating from high school in June last year, they spent time exploring Italy and Hungary before saving up for a big 2024 trip around South East Asia. In September, the pair spent time travelling around Thailand, before venturing on to Cambodia, then journeying to Vietnam, before making their way to Laos. Shortly after the poisoning a man who shared a mutual friend with Ms Sorensen and Ms Coyman posted a warning online, urging other travellers to be cautious about their drinks. 'The past few days I have been busy with a Belgian friend looking for two girls he travelled with,' the man wrote. 'For more than 72 hours, no contact could be made while they had agreed to meet in Vang Vieng. 'The strange thing was that their last message was that they had both been vomiting blood for 13 hours... They have both since died.' According to local police reports obtained by the Sydney Morning Herald, Ms Sorensen and Ms Coyman drank at the hostel before going to local bars on the evening of November 12. They arrived back around midnight but spent the entire next day in their room, before they were discovered about 6pm lying on their bathroom floor unconscious. Ms Jones' (pictured) parents who was evacuated to Thailand and died in hospital surrounded by loved ones Ms Bowles' (pictured) died following a night out in the party town of Vang Viang alongside her friend Ms Jones Hostel manager and bartender Duong Duc Toan (pictured) is reportedly among 'a number of people' who have been detained by police for questioning, but no charges have yet been filed They were taken to Vang Vieng Hospital in a coma before being transported to a hospital in the capital of Vientiane. They were reportedly declared dead at about 3.30am on the 14th. The Laos government has recently broken its silence on the mass poisonings and vowed to 'bring the perpetrators to justice'. Officials said they were 'deeply saddened' and extended their 'deepest condolences' to the families of the victims. 'The government of the Lao PDR is profoundly saddened over the loss of lives of foreign tourists in Vang Vieng District, Vientiane Province and expresses its sincere sympathy and deepest condolences to the families of the deceased,' the statement read. 'The government of the Lao PDR has been conducting investigations to find causes of the incident and to bring the perpetrators to justice in accordance with the law. 'The government of the Lao PDR reaffirms that it always attaches the importance and pays attention to the safety of both domestic and foreign tourists.' Following news of Ms Jones' death, local police attended Nana Backpackers to question employees. Police demanded to see which spirits were used by bar staff on the night Ms Jones and Ms Bowles were provided free cocktails, The Herald Sun reported. Laos Police were seen talking to employees and inspecting bottles of spirits inside the bar during their visit to the hostel. The hostel owner, Duong Duc Toan, is reportedly among 'a number of people' who have been detained by police for questioning, but no charges have yet been filed. But he and the hostel's bartender Toan Van Vanng denied any alcohol served at their bar had been contaminated or diluted with methanol. Toan said he bought the alcohol from a certified distributor and that free shots of Tiger Vodka had been served to around 100 guests. The manager said he had yet to received any complaints from other backpackers who been given shots on the night. To prove his point, he even drank from one of the vodka bottles that were in use on the night to prove it was safe. Share or comment on this article: 'Mass methanol poisoning' which killed British lawyer and five others in Laos could claim MORE lives as 11 backpackers remain in hospital after drinking lethal shots e-mail Add commentThere are currently eight publicly traded companies with market caps of $1 trillion or more: Nvidia , Apple , Microsoft , Alphabet , Amazon , Meta Platforms , Tesla , and Berkshire Hathaway . Those stocks are highly renowned, and for good reason: They have made plenty of investors wealthy. However, none of them are particularly known as dividend stocks, and thus far the trillion-dollar club has excluded longtime dividend payers. However, that could soon change. Walmart ( WMT 2.32% ) , the world's biggest retailer and the largest company in the world by revenue, has quietly blown away the rest of the retail sector in recent years as its commitment to omnichannel sales and reputation for everyday low prices have delivered steady growth. Meanwhile, many of its peers have struggled with inflation and weak consumer spending. Walmart reported another round of strong quarterly results on Tuesday morning. Top-line growth was strong across the board with comparable-store sales (comps) up 5.3% at U.S. stores (excluding fuel), its best performance in at least five quarters. And Sam's Club, its members-only warehouse retail chain, reported 7% comps growth excluding fuel. At its international segment, which has historically been a challenging segment for the company, constant-currency revenue rose 12.4% to $30.3 billion. Overall, revenue was up 5.5% to $169.6 billion, which topped the consensus at $166.6 billion. The retailer also delivered solid margin improvement, with gross margin increasing 21 basis points to 24.2%, driven by lower markdowns in U.S. stores and strong inventory management. Overall operating margin expanded as well, as operating income was up 8.2% to $6.7 billion. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rose from $0.51 to $0.58, ahead of the consensus at $0.53. Walmart's stores performed well, but it's also benefiting from emerging growth businesses like advertising, where revenue jumped 28%, and global e-commerce remains strong with sales up 27% as it gains market share on Amazon and other competitors. The company also raised its guidance, showing increased confidence in the holiday quarter. It now expects net sales to rise 4.8% to 5.1% and full-year adjusted EPS of $2.42 to $2.47. Can Walmart reach $1 trillion? Walmart's market cap topped $700 billion for the first time on Tuesday, Nov. 19, meaning the company is approaching a $1 trillion market cap. At its current valuation, the stock would only have to grow by 43%, which seems achievable given its recent momentum. The stock is now up 66% year to date, though it will be difficult to repeat that performance next year. At this point, the biggest risk to the stock appears to be its valuation. Based on its EPS guidance for this year, the stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 35, which is well above most of its retail peers, and puts it in league with the big tech companies that make up the trillion-dollar club like Microsoft and Apple. Walmart has earned that premium thanks to its recent execution and its track record of steady growth and expanding margins. Ten years ago, many thought the company would be elbowed aside by Amazon, but it has responded to the challenge by building out its omnichannel business, tapping new growth opportunities like advertising, and strengthening its competitive advantages in areas like price and convenience. As Walmart's valuation has soared, its dividend yield has fallen to just 1%, but the company's track record of dividend hikes is unmatched by any company in the trillion-dollar club. It has raised its dividend annually for 51 years in a row, making it a Dividend King. Is Walmart a buy? Walmart's third-quarter earnings report was virtually flawless, and it's a reminder to investors that the company still enjoys several competitive advantages, such as economies of scale; a recession-proof business model that leans toward food and groceries; and growth opportunities in advertising, e-commerce, and beyond. The stock might seem expensive at its current valuation, but the company has just proved its ability to grow in a difficult environment. As it sharpens its focus on general merchandise, the business looks prepared to continue its steady growth toward a $1 trillion market cap. If you're looking for a balance of growth and income, Walmart looks like a great fit.

He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator' make gravity-defying theater debuts NEW YORK (AP) — “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” have debuted in theaters with a combined $270 million in ticket sales. Their worldwide performance breathed fresh life into global box office results that have struggled lately. Together the films turned the moviegoing weekend into one of the busiest of the year. Jon M. Chu’s lavish big-budget musical “Wicked,” starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, debuted with $114 million domestically and $164.2 million globally. Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator II” is a sequel to his 2000 best picture-winning original and launched with $55.5 million in ticket sales. “Moana 2” is being released Wednesday, so it looks like Hollywood might be looking at historic sales over the Thanksgiving holiday. Trump's Republican Party is increasingly winning union voters. It's a shift seen in his labor pick WASHINGTON (AP) — Working-class voters helped Republicans make steady election gains this year and expanded a coalition that increasingly includes rank-and-file union members. It's a political shift spotlighting one of President-elect Donald Trump’s latest Cabinet picks: a GOP congresswoman, who has drawn labor support, to be his labor secretary. Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer narrowly lost her bid for a second term this month, despite strong backing from union members. They're a key part of the Democratic base but are gravitating in the Trump era toward a Republican Party traditionally allied with business interests. Trump raced to pick many Cabinet posts. He took more time to settle on a treasury secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump launched a blitz of picks for his Cabinet, but he took his time settling on billionaire investor Scott Bessent as his choice for treasury secretary. The Republican not only wanted someone who jibes with him, but an official who can execute his economic vision and look straight out of central casting while doing so. With his Yale University education and pedigree trading for Soros Fund Management before establishing his own funds, Bessent will be tasked with a delicate balancing act. Trump expects him to help reset the global trade order, enable trillions of dollars in tax cuts, ensure inflation stays in check, manage a ballooning national debt and still keep the financial markets confident. Trump chooses Bessent to be treasury secretary, Vought as budget chief, Chavez-DeRemer for Labor WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has chosen hedge fund manager Scott Bessent, an advocate for deficit reduction, to serve as his next treasury secretary. Bessent, 62, is founder of hedge fund Key Square Capital Management. He previously had worked on and off for Soros Fund Management since 1991. Trump also said he would nominate Russell Vought, 48, to lead the Office of Management and Budget, a position he held during Trump's first term. And Trump chose Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, an Oregon Republican, as his labor secretary, and Scott Turner, a former football player who worked in Trump’s first administration, as his housing secretary. Afraid of losing the US-Canada trade pact, Mexico alters its laws and removes Chinese parts MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico has been taking a bashing for allegedly serving as a conduit for Chinese parts and products into North America. Officials here are terrified that a re-elected Donald Trump or politically struggling Justin Trudeau could simply expel their country from the U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement. Mexico's ruling Morena party is so afraid its has gone on a campaign to get companies to replace Chinese parts with locally made ones. And its legislators are consciously tweaking the wording of major laws to try to make them compatible with the trade pact's language. Mexico hopes the rules of the trade pact would prevent the U.S. or Canada from simply walking away. Australia withdraws a misinformation bill after critics compare it to censorship CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s government has withdrawn a bill that would give a media watchdog power to monitor digital platforms and require them to keep records about misinformation and disinformation on their networks. Communications Minister Michelle Rowland said Sunday that the government was unable to drum up the support needed to pass the legislation. The opposition spokesman, David Coleman, said the bill “betrayed our democracy” and amounted to “censorship laws in Australia.” The bill would have granted the Australian Communications and Media Authority power over digital platforms by approving an enforceable code of conduct or standards for social media companies if self-regulation fell short. He'll be the last meatpacker in the Meatpacking District. Here's how NYC's gritty 'hood got chic NEW YORK (AP) — The last meatpackers in New York's Meatpacking District have agreed to end their leases early and make way for development on their city-owned lot. A third-generation meatpacker says he is ready to retire and he'll be proud to be there when the building closes. The closure date has not been set, but will mark the end of over a century of industrial life in the Meatpacking District. Starting in the 1970s, a new nightlife scene emerged as bars and nightclubs moved in. Today it's a hub for shopping, tourism, and recreation and only echoes of that grit remain. US budget airlines are struggling. Will pursuing premium passengers solve their problems? DALLAS (AP) — Delta and United Airlines have become the most profitable U.S. airlines by targeting premium customers while also winning a significant share of budget travelers. That is squeezing smaller low-fare carriers like Spirit Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday. Some travel industry experts think Spirit’s troubles indicate less-wealthy passengers will have fewer choices and higher prices. Other discount airlines are on better financial footing but also are lagging far behind the full-service airlines when it comes to recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most industry experts think Frontier and other so-called ultra-low-cost carriers will fill the vacuum if Spirit shrinks, and that there's still plenty of competition to prevent prices from spiking. What to know about Scott Bessent, Trump's pick for treasury secretary WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has chosen money manager Scott Bessent, an advocate for deficit reduction and deregulation, to serve as his next treasury secretary. Bessent is a past supporter of Democrats who has become an enthusiastic supporter of Trump. He’s an advocate of cutting spending while extending the tax cuts approved by Congress in Trump’s first term. He has said tariffs imposed during a second Trump administration would be directed primarily at China.

Dean McCullough took on his third Bushtucker Trial in tonight’s episode (November 21) of I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! Having quit his first trial as he shouted “I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!” and only managed to secure two out of 10 stars in a trial with GK Barry, he was out to prove himself tonight. His third trial saw him locked in a box, similar to his two other trials, where he had to turn stars off a screw using only his mouth and tongue while being accompanied by various critters. Throughout the trial, he had to move from box to box and was met with different critters in each one. He also had to make a chemical reaction while ants were biting his hands. Since Dean is frightened of creepy crawlies and bigger critters, he asked Ant and Dec not to tell him what was joining him in the box which was secured around his head. The trial called Lethal Lab saw the BBC Radio 1 presenter take four stars back to camp. Each star means more food for the celebrity campmates while no stars means they have to eat rice and beans. Going back to camp was a much better experience for Dean this time around as he was able to celebrate with his campmates, knowing he’d supplied food for the camp’s evening meal. On arriving back to camp, Dean was ecstatic with his success in Lethal Lab and the other celebrities celebrated his win with him. After earning four stars, Dean had fish guts put inside the box with him and quit the trial with "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!" Meanwhile, the campmates were ordered to give up their contraband after McCullough smuggled teabags into the jungle, while Tulisa Contostavlos gave up a bag of seasoning which radio presenter Melvin Odoom had distributed to her. Viewers took to social media platform X to share their thoughts on Dean’s performance. One said the trial was easy: "So they gave him the easiest challenges we’ve ever seen on I’m a Celeb so he can win some stars lol". Another person commented: “He’s actually doing it, I’m surprised." A third said: "Are you serious?? On the fish guts!" The latest series of I’m A Celebrity has a wide range of popular stars including Danny Jones, Coleen Rooney, Melvin Odoom, Oti Mabuse and Barry McGuigan to name a few. I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! airs every night at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.Hearts 1-4 Celtic: No slip-ups this time as Rodgers' ruthless side stretch lead over faltering rivals

The Parkhead side face Club Brugge in Glasgow on Wednesday, with a golden opportunity to clinch a place in the last-16 play-offs. Currently on seven points after four games, ten points should be enough to secure a finish in the top 24 of the new league format. Estimates suggest that 16 points could even be enough to reach the quarter-finals automatically and, with fixtures against Dinamo Zagreb, Young Boys and Aston Villa still to come, striker Idah sees a real opportunity to improve on the Euro woes of past seasons. ‘We feel we can compete with anyone,’ said the Irishman. ‘Dortmund (last month’s 7-1 defeat in Germany) wasn’t the best but, before the game, we had confidence we could win. ‘That’s what this season has been about. We are not afraid to play anyone. Idah responded with two late goals after he had been the target of missiles from the crowd The substitute celebrates with James Forrest after making it 3-0 at Tynecastle on Saturday Idah gets his second goal in a 4-1 victory over Hearts by converting a penalty in stoppage time ‘You saw that in the Leipzig game (a 3-1 win for Celtic). We showed what we were there to do and we feel we can go head-to-head with any team.’ Currently second in the Belgian Pro League behind Genk, Brugge are unbeaten in their last five games in all competitions — bouncing back from a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan in the San Siro by overcoming Aston Villa at home thanks to a bizarre Tyrone Mings handball. ‘We do relish the home games,’ added Idah, who scored his first ever Champions League goal in the 5-1 win over Slovan Bratislava on match day one. ‘Every time you have a Champions League game, it’s really exciting — and you want to win these games. ‘We need to keep pushing and hopefully doing well.’ Largely restricted to being an impact substitute, Idah took his tally for the season to seven with a late brace in the 4-1 win over Hearts at Tynecastle. Scoring a penalty atoned for a miss from 12 yards in Celtic’s last domestic defeat at the same venue in March. Targeted by missiles on Saturday after grabbing his first goal to make it 3-0, the striker said he took revenge the best way he could. ‘I enjoyed it,’ he said. ‘They gave me a bit when I was warming up so I gave it back. ‘I could probably buy all my Christmas presents with the amount of coins on the pitch! ‘But it’s all a bit of banter.’ Share or comment on this article: 'We're not afraid of anyone,' says Idah as Celtic gear up for golden opportunity in Champions League e-mail Add comment
