Heavy rains likely across TG; health advisory issued
Hyderabad: With IMD-Hyderabad forecasting light to moderate rain for the next seven days and issuing a heavy rain warning for the upcoming two days across Telangana, the Health Department on Sunday released a general health advisory urging the public to adopt safety measures. The advisory highlights that these weather conditions, characterised by lower temperatures and higher humidity, could lead to a rise in seasonal illnesses, particularly vector-borne, waterborne, and airborne diseases. To guard against these, the department has offered several tips for staying healthy during this monsoon season. To combat the mosquito menace and prevent Malaria, Dengue, and Chikungunya, residents are advised to ensure doors and windows are secured with mosquito nets/screens, and beds and cribs are covered with mosquito nets. The use of mosquito repellents is also recommended as a precaution. Maintaining domestic drains to prevent water stagnation and covering domestic septic tanks with a mesh to inhibit mosquito breeding are crucial steps. Furthermore, the observance of a 'Friday-Dry Day' every week is encouraged to eliminate stagnant water around homes. To prevent waterborne infections such as Acute Gastroenteritis, Jaundice, and Typhoid, the public is advised to drink filtered or boiled water and wash hands meticulously, especially before and after meals. Eating stale food from outside should be avoided. Regarding airborne infections like viral fevers and Influenza, the advisory recommends avoiding handshakes with sick individuals, or when one is unwell. Frequent use of hand sanitisers is advised to prevent infection, and a handkerchief should be used when sneezing or coughing. If anyone develops flu-like symptoms such as a cough with fever, headache, sore throat, and accompanying body pains, they should seek medical attention at nearby government health facilities. In case of a health emergency, citizens are urged to dial 108 for Ambulance Services. As part of precautionary measures, the government has made elaborate arrangements, providing special beds, intravenous (IV) fluids, and essential medicines at all public health facilities. Director of Health Dr Ravinder Nayak confirmed that medicines and ORS sachets are readily available with Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs), Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs), and Anganwadi workers to address any exigencies.

Mbappe to miss Salzburg game but likely fit for knockout rounds, says Alonso
PHILADELPHIA, June 25 (Reuters) - Kylian Mbappe will miss Real Madrid's final Club World Cup group-stage game against RB Salzburg as he continues his recovery from illness but should be ready for the knockout phase if they progress, manager Xabi Alonso said on Wednesday. The French forward returned to training earlier in the day, after being struck down by acute gastroenteritis last week, but Alonso said the decision to skip Thursday's match was made to prioritise the player's full recovery. "It was his first day back in boots, his first day running a little, and he did well," Alonso told reporters at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field. "But he's not fully recovered yet. "We talked about it after training and he prefers to rest and recover properly for when we go through. And if we make it to the round of 16 he'll be available, but he was still in the recovery process and wasn't perfect for tomorrow." Mbappe, who received treatment in hospital in Miami last week, has already missed Real's 1-1 draw with Al-Hilal and their 3-1 victory over Pachuca, a win they achieved despite playing most of the match with 10 men. The Spaniards lead Group H with four points, ahead of Salzburg on goal difference, with Al-Hilal on two points and Pachuca yet to secure a point. Alonso, who recently took the reins at Real following Carlo Ancelotti's departure to manage Brazil, said they had two objectives for Thursday's game. "The first is to win and finish top of the group. The second is to continue improving as a team ahead of the knockout stage," he added. While Manchester City are looming as potential opponents in the round of 16, Alonso said his side would not even think about the permutations. "It's a bad idea to do the math tomorrow," he said. "The only decision is to finish first and give it your all. We're going out to win."

Monty Python star rushed to hospital for second time in three days
Monty Python's Eric Idle has been hospitalised for the second time in three days, with the comedy star being treated for an infection. Monty Python star Eric Idle has been hospitalised again, which comes just three days after being taken to hospital previously. The 82-year-old actor took to social media, praising the medical staff for their "kindness and help." The comedy star is believed to be suffering from Gastroenteritis, an unpleasant condition causing inflammation of the stomach and intestines, often due to viral or bacterial infection. He expressed his appreciation for the care at Cedars-Sinai in LA on Instagram. He shared with fans on Monday, June 16: "So I'd like to thank all the doctors nurses and staff in the Cedars GI ward for their kindness and help to me today. The second time in three days. I think I'm suffering from Gastroenteritis. I love you people." Previously, Idle has been open about his close encounter with death. Last year, he admitted that he "shouldn't be alive", reports the Mirror. Fans were left in shock after the actor previously revealed a private struggle with pancreatic cancer back in 2019, discussing his surgery and the incredible luck of detecting it early. Now cherishing "every moment" of life, the comedian reflected on the significant effect his health scare had during an interview with The Times. When asked how his brush with cancer changed him, he responded: "Oh, I shouldn't be alive. I'm a lucky b****** and I enjoy every moment." Interestingly, he initially perceived his dire diagnosis as a joke, partly because he was coincidentally working on a project about death. He recalled the conversation with his consultant, saying: "I had been working on a project called 'Death: The Musical' and I asked my doctor which type of cancer I could use to finish off one of my characters. He said, 'Pancreatic cancer, it can finish people off in three weeks.'". During routine health checks years later, an alarming blood test flagged by that same doctor led to a grim prognosis being delivered. When faced with the revelation from his physician, Idle recounted with irony, as he noted: "He said, 'Pancreatic cancer' and I burst out laughing because I thought he must be joking." Elsewhere, he is set to charm audiences across the country with his tour Always Look On The Bright Side of Life, Live! that will take a trip to both Glasgow and Edinburgh this September. It will kick off at the Birmingham Symphony Hall, before also spanning across London, Liverpool, Brighton, Manchester and Bournemouth. Announcing his tour in April, Idle playfully warned fans that his "one-man musical" might be "be the last time you see me" promising a night filled with "rude songs, inappropriate remarks, reminiscences of fame, fortune and rare footage, plus a virtual band and surprise guests".

Eric Idle, 83, says he was hospitalised for the second time in three days and reveals illness he believes he has
Eric Idle was hospitalised for the second time in three days this week. The Monty Python legend, 83, suspects he has Gastroenteritis - inflammation of the stomach and intestines, typically caused by a viral or bacterial infection - and thanked the medical staff at Los Angeles ' Cedars-Sinai for their 'kindness and help'. He penned to X on Monday: 'So I'd like to thank all the doctors nurses and staff in the Cedars GI ward for their kindness and help to me today. 'The second time in three days. I think I'm suffering from Gastroenteritis. I love you people.' Eric received several messages of good will from his followers who wrote: 'Get well quickly'... 'Praying for you sir'... 'Get well soon Eric'. Gastroenteritis is usually caused by viral or bacterial infections and is generally a self-limiting illness. Last year, Eric admitted he 'shouldn't be alive'. The comedian underwent surgery after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2019, and was thankful the disease was caught early as he now enjoys 'every moment' of his life. Asked if having cancer had changed him, he told The Times newspaper: 'Oh, I shouldn't be alive. I'm a lucky b****** and I enjoy every moment.' He initially thought his doctor was joking when he broke the news of his diagnosis. He said: 'I had been working on a project called 'Death: The Musical' and I asked my doctor which type of cancer I could use to finish off one of my characters. He said, 'Pancreatic cancer, it can finish people off in three weeks.' Ten years later, Eric had routine tests with the same doctor and queried an ominous-looking blood result. The British-born funnyman added: 'He said, 'Pancreatic cancer' and I burst out laughing because I thought he must be joking.' He penned to X on Monday: 'So I'd like to thank all the doctors nurses and staff in the Cedars GI ward for their kindness and help to me today. The second time in three days' Eric received several messages of good will from his followers who wrote: 'Get well quickly'... 'Praying for you sir'... 'Get well soon Eric' Eric previously revealed there was a rift in the Monty Python troupe and confessed the show was a financial 'disaster'. The comedian co-created the iconic programme, and starred in its various spin-off films including Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life. Monty Python were a British comedy troupe formed in 1969 consisting of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Eric. Eric said he was struggling financially and had been forced to sell his house and continue working well past retirement age. He took aim at Holly Gilliam, the TV lawyer daughter of fellow Python Terry Gilliam, on social media. She took over the Python brand in 2013 as part of HDG Projects Ltd, and in a new tweet Eric wrote: 'I don't know why people always assume w're loaded. 'I have to work for my living. I never dreamed that at this age the income streams would tail off so disastrously. I have been working and earning for Pythons since 1995. And now no more.' Eric said he was struggling financially and has been forced to sell his house and continue working well past retirement age He took aim at Holly Gilliam, the TV lawyer daughter of fellow Python Terry Gilliam, on social media In a dig at Holly, he continued: 'I guess if you put a Gilliam child in as your manager you should not be so surprised. One Gilliam is bad enough. Two can take out any company.' Eric's daughter Lily publicly stood by her father by penning on X: 'I'm so proud of my dad for finally finally finally starting to share the truth. 'He has always stood up to bullies and narcissists and absolutely deserves reassurance and validation for doing so.' The group came to prominence for the sketch comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus, which aired on the BBC from 1969 to 1974
