Chinese police have rescued a newborn baby who was stuck face down in a public toilet in Beijing.

The parents of Britain’s youngest organ donor said knowing their newborn son saved someone’s life had given them a great deal of comfort.

A woman has delivered five girls in what is believed to be the first set of all-female quintuplets born in the United States, a hospital in Texas said.

A second baby death is under investigation at Cavan General Hospital after a newborn delivered on Tuesday died yesterday.

A judge who refused to grant the State an interim care order (ICO) for a newborn baby heard that the HSE had placed an older sibling with the mother’s brother against whom credible allegations of sexual abuse had been made.
