  Actor Bernard Hill, best known for roles in Titanic and Lord of the Rings, has died aged 79. He played Captain Edward Smith in the 1997 Oscar-winning film and King Théoden in the Lord of the Rings. His breakout role was in 1982 BBC TV drama Boys from the Blackstuff, where he portrayed Yosser Hughes, a character who struggled - and often failed - to cope with unemployment in Liverpool. He died early on Sunday morning, his agent Lou Coulson confirmed. Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd, the actors who played the hobbits Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, paid tribute to their co-star at Comic Con in Liverpool. Astin began by saying: "We love him. He was intrepid, he was funny, he was gruff, he was irascible, he was beautiful." Boyd recounted watching the trilogy with Monaghan, saying: "I don't think anyone spoke Tolkien's words as great as Bernard did. He would break my heart. He will be solely missed." Alan

She yearned to have the expertise to bridge those worlds and help translate medical information while combating misinformation – for her loved ones and for herself. Seun Adebagbo, a third-year medical student in Massachusetts, hopes to contribute to the physician work force in the United States, where only 5.7% of doctors identify as Black. “I wanted to go into medicine because I felt like, ‘Who better to mediate that tension than someone like me, who knows what it’s like to exist in both?’ ” said Adebagbo, 26, who graduated from Stanford University and is now a third-yea

  Just one day after a security guard working at rapper Drake’s Toronto home   was shot , a man on Wednesday was apprehended for attempting to enter the same residence, authorities said. Around 2 p.m. local time, officers were called to the home “after a person attempted to gain access to the property,” Ashley Visser, a media relations officer for the Toronto Police Department, told CNN in a statement on Wednesday. CNN has reached out to a representative for Drake for comment. The person was “apprehended” under Ontario’s Mental Health Act and was “taken to obtain medical assistance,” Visser’s statement read. The  Mental Health Act  allows police officers to take a person who they find reasonable cause to believe is suffering from a mental disorder, and is acting disorderly, in custody to seek medical treatment instead of issuing an arrest. Authorities believe there is no link between this incident and the shooting yesterday. Information on whether Drake or anybody else was inside the h
