German Citizen Goes Missing in Cancún; Five More Women Disappeared Days Earlier

Regine Beatrix Roessler, 62, a German citizen and resident of Mexico, went missing in Cancún, Quintana Roo, last week and has not been located. On social media, relatives of the woman indicated that she is a resident of Isla Mujeres. They said that she boarded the ferry to Cancun to retrieve money from a bank and then go shopping. She intended to go to a Costco store near Kabah Park but never made it there. 

The last time she was seen, she was wearing a light colored dress, heels, and a black bag. She speaks German, English and some Spanish. The Quintana Roo Attorney General's Office launched the "ALBA Protocol" to locate her. This measure triggers special attention, reaction and coordination between the three levels of administration (local, state and federal) when a woman goes missing. It was first implemented in Ciudad Juárez and was later adopted across Mexico. Two days before she was reported missing, five women disappeared in a span of five days. The are María Antonia Perez López, Youssi Emili González, Dorcas Córdova García, Marisol López Arcos, and Julia Altagracia José Vilomar. Three of them are minors.

German held after racist attack on Syrian caught on video

 BERLIN: A 39-year-old German man has been arrested in connection with a racist attack on a teenage refugee in the eastern city of Erfurt that was captured on video, officials said Monday.

The governor of Thuringia state, where Erfurt is located, called the attack that took place late Friday in one of the city’s trams “simply disgusting.”

“The perpetrator has been caught,” the governor, Bodo Ramelow, wrote on Twitter. “Such a cowardly person, strong and aggressive against someone who was defenseless.”
A video circulating on social media shows a man standing over the seated victim, repeatedly insulting and spitting at him, and then kicking him in the face.
Erfurt police said the 17-year-old victim from Syria, suffered minor injuries in the attack, which followed a verbal argument.
Witnesses on the tram alerted officers, who were able to identify the suspect based on the video as he was already known to police.
Anti-racism groups say there were 102 cases of far-right and antisemitic violence in Thuringia last year.

Spain: 17 dead in migrant boat found drifting off Canaries

 BARCELONA: Spain’s Maritime Rescue Service says at least 17 people are believed to have died aboard a migrant boat found adrift off the Canary Islands.

A Spanish military helicopter airlifted three survivors and was bringing them to land, a spokesperson with Spain’s Maritime Rescue Service said.

The migrant boat was first spotted by a Spanish Air Force plane drifting in the Atlantic Ocean some 265 nautical miles from the island of El Hierro Monday morning. A search and rescue vessel was deployed to the area but wasn’t expected to reach the boat carrying the 17 bodies until Tuesday afternoon.
The Atlantic sea journey from the Western coast of Africa to the Spanish archipelago has become a major route for migrants and asylum-seekers fleeing conflict, violence and economic hardship exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic. Some 4,000 people have reached the Canaries so far this year according to Spain’s Interior Ministry.

CDC is investigating Oregon woman's death after J&J vaccine

 PORTLAND, ORE. -- Oregon health officials said Thursday that federal officials are investigating the death of a woman in her 50s who developed a rare blood clot and low platelets within two weeks of receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine against COVID-19.

The Oregon Health Authority learned of the probe on Tuesday, two days after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began the investigation, the agency said. The woman, whose name was not released, received the dose before the CDC ordered a pause on the vaccine amid concerns it could cause dangerous clots.

The woman developed a "rare but serious blood clot in combination with very low platelets," OHA said in a statement.

Dr. Shimi Sharief, senior health advisor for the state's health authority, said the woman's symptoms were consistent with other cases -- severe headache, abdominal pain, leg pain or shortness of breath .

Health officials declined to release any further details, including the date the woman got the vaccine or where in Oregon she lived, citing patient privacy. The woman was hospitalized before her death and got the vaccine in early April, Sharief said.
