In world and national news…
STOCKHOLM (AP) — Two U.S.-based scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their discovery of the receptors that allow humans to feel temperature and touch. David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian focused their work on the field of somatosensation. That is the ability of specialized organs such as eyes, ears and skin to see, hear and feel. The winners were announced Monday by Thomas Perlmann. He is the secretary-general of the Nobel Committee. Patrik Ernfors of the Nobel Committee said Julius used capsaicin, the active component in chili peppers, to identify the nerve sensors that allow the skin to respond to heat. He said Patapoutian found separate pressure-sensitive sensors in cells that respond to mechanical stimulation.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police in Philadelphia say a nurse fatally shot his co-worker at a hospital, fled the scene and was shot in a gunfight with police that wounded two officers. The Philadelphia police commissioner told reporters the 55-year-old gunman was wearing scrubs when he shot and killed a 43-year-old certified nursing assistant at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital early Monday. The nurse then left the hospital in a U-Haul box truck. Four officers encountered him near a school a short time later. A gunfight ensued, and the suspect and two officers were shot. The officers’ injuries aren’t considered life-threatening. The suspect is in critical condition but expected to survive. Investigators believe the hospital shooting was targeted. A motive was not immediately clear.
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Crews on the water and on shore worked feverishly to limit environmental damage from one of the largest oil spills in recent California history. An underwater Southern California pipeline started leaking oil late Friday or early Saturday. The pipeline is owned by Amplify Energy. CEO Martyn Willsher said Sunday that divers were still trying to determine exactly where the leak occurred. The pipeline and three oil platforms it serves have been shut down. Officials said Saturday that at least 126,000 gallons of oil spilled into the waters off Orange County. Huntington Beach Mayor Kim Carr said the city’s beaches could remain closed for weeks or even months.
LONDON (AP) — British military personnel have begun delivering fuel to gas stations after a shortage of truck drivers disrupted supplies for more than a week. The crisis has led to long lines at the pumps as anxious drivers scrambled to fill their tanks. The government said about 200 service personnel were deployed Monday to boost deliveries after undergoing training at commercial fuel depots last week. The U.K. is short tens of thousands of truckers. That’s because of a confluence of factors including the coronavirus pandemic, an aging workforce and an exodus of foreign workers following Britain’s departure from the European Union. The problem has contributed to empty supermarket shelves and shuttered gas pumps.
(AP) Asian markets are mixed, with Hong Kong’s benchmark down more than 2% after troubled property developer China Evergrande’s shares were suspended from trading. The company’s filing did not say why, but a Chinese financial news service said another developer planned to acquire Evergrande’s property management unit. Wall Street rebounded on Friday, led by companies that would benefit most from a healthier economy. The S&P 500 gained 1.1%. But U.S. markets still had their worst week since the winter. Crude prices fell slightly ahead of a meeting of major oil producers. There was no sign that a spill from a pipeline off the California coast was having an impact on prices.
