It was another deadly attack in London, England as a 28-year-old man, known to authorities went on a rampage in broad daylight on the London bridge.

 

“It had previously been speculated that the attack may have been revenge for the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.  


Khan was shot and killed by armed police after he stabbed two people to death and wounded three others while wearing a fake suicide vest on London Bridge. 


The attacker, who was jailed in 2012 for his role in an al Qaeda-inspired terror group that plotted to bomb the London Stock Exchange, had first been tackled and disarmed by a group of brave bystanders on the bridge.” November 30 – The Daily Mail



The attack has many in Europe and America on edge, especially as the holiday season approaches.


But what can be done?


  • Is there any tried and true remedy for protecting against domestic terrorism?
  • Are these attacks actually affiliated or just copy-cat incidents?
  • And as countries begin considering repatriating former soldiers from Syria and the Middle East, will this only add fuel to the fire of concerns?


There are a lot of questions to be asked – and if you are a reporter covering this topic, let our experts help with your coverage.

Prince Harry and Meghan Return to England

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have returned to England with their children for an extended stay after more than six years living in California. While the family is not expected to resume official working roles within the royal family, the move places them again at the center of ongoing public interest in the British monarchy and its future. The return comes amid continued strain between the Sussexes and other members of the royal family, alongside Prince Harry’s expressed desire for reconciliation with his father, King Charles III. Their renewed presence in the United Kingdom raises questions about the monarchy’s public image, the role of nonworking royals and how personal relationships within the royal family may shape public perception in the months ahead.

Elevated Interest Rates in the United States

Interest rates in the United States remain elevated, with the Federal Reserve holding its benchmark rate near its highest level in more than two decades as of late summer 2026. The Fed’s stance reflects its effort to fully tame inflation, which has cooled significantly from its 2022 peak but still shows pockets of persistence in areas like housing and services. Higher borrowing costs continue to ripple through the economy: mortgages remain expensive, business loans are harder to justify, and consumers face steeper rates on credit cards and auto financing. The broader economy is feeling the strain. Growth has slowed as companies delay expansion, hiring becomes more cautious, and households pull back on discretionary spending. At the same time, elevated rates have strengthened the dollar and helped stabilize inflation expectations, giving policymakers confidence that price pressures are gradually easing. The result is a mixed landscape — one where the labor market is steady but no longer surging, investment is cooling, and many sectors are waiting for clearer signals about when rate cuts might begin.

Experts in the Media: What You Need to Know About Medication Safety and Everyday Health

From medication safety to seasonal illness prevention, pharmacists are often the most accessible, and overlooked,  healthcare professionals in our communities. In a recent segment on NBC, Dr. Shannon Yarosz breaks down common misconceptions about prescriptions, explains how drug interactions really work, and shares practical advice patients can use immediately to better manage their health. Dr. Shannon Yarosz is an Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice. Prior to joining the faculty at Cedarville University, served in multiple pharmacy roles. Her career reflects a deep commitment to patient care with experience in pediatrics, community pharmacy practice, and clinical healthcare services. As healthcare systems face growing pressure and patients navigate increasingly complex medication regimens, pharmacists are playing a larger role than ever before. This discussion highlights why their expertise matters, from helping patients avoid costly mistakes to providing front-line guidance on everyday health concerns. When should I stop taking antibiotics? Is it ok to stop when I begin feeling better? This question and several others were addressed in this week's Ask the Pharmacist segment on WDTN TV in Dayton, Ohio. Looking to know more or connect with Dr. Shannon Yarosz? Simply contact: Mark D.
