Under pressure from regulators, the company will replace airbags in affected vehicles worldwide. Under pressure from federal regulators, Chrysler will expand a recall of cars and trucks equipped with Takata airbags. It will now replace driver's-side airbags in 3.3 million older-model vehicles worldwide, including 2.9 million in the U.S. Chrysler previously limited its recall to autos in areas with high humidity, including Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where the airbags are believed to be more prone to rupturing. Ten automakers, including Fiat Chrysler Automobiles ( ), have recalled cars and trucks with Tataka airbags because of fears the airbags can explode and send shrapnel into drivers and passengers. Chrysler emphasized that it is not aware of any problems with the driver-side airbags in the expanded region -- even after conducting 1,000 laboratory tests. But it will nevertheless replace the parts.  Takata has struggled

A Nigerian United Nations peacekeeper infected with Ebola and brought to the Netherlands for treatment has been cured, the Dutch authorities said on Friday. “The Nigerian patient who was admitted on December 6 has been cured of Ebola,” the Dutch public health institute RIVM said in a statement. The soldier was infected while working as a peacekeeper battling the deadly disease in Liberia. He was flown to the Netherlands at the request of the World Health Organisation in a specially equipped plane and treated at the university hospital in central city Utrecht. He was the first Ebola patient to be treated in the Netherlands and will stay at a military hospital until he can return home, the RIVM said. Ebola has killed more than 6,900 people, almost all of them in west Africa. Liberia tops the number of fatalities at 3,290 deaths but Sierra Leone earlier this month overtook it as the country with the most infections.

According to recent estimates, asthma affects 300 million people in the world and more than 22 million in the United States. Although people of all ages suffer from the disease, it most often starts in childhood, currently affecting 6 million children in the US. Asthma kills about 255,000 people worldwide every year. Children at Risk Asthma is the most common chronic disease among children - especially children who have low birth weight, are exposed to tobacco smoke, are black, and are raised in a low-income environment. Most children first present symptoms around 5 years of age, generally beginning as frequent episodes of wheezing with respiratory infections. Additional risk factors for children include having allergies, the allergic skin condition eczema, or parents with asthma. Young boys are more likely to develop asthma than young girls, but this trend reverses during adulthood. Researchers hypothesize that this is due to the smaller size of a young male'

The All Progressives Congress has pruned its search for Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s (retd.) running mate to three incumbent governors and a former one. SUNDAY PUNCH reliably gathered on Saturday that the leadership of the party has the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN); his Edo State counterpart, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole; and Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, as well as former Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on its final list of four. It was learnt that the APC governors had demanded that one of them should be picked as the running mate of Buhari, who emerged as the party’s presidential candidate on Thursday. Our correspondents gathered that Oshiomhole and Amaechi made the list because some leaders of the APC feel that South-South should produce the vice-president in order to cut down the votes of President Goodluck Jonathan, who is also from the geo-political zone. Other party leaders are pushing for the South- West because of the massiv

In an electronic mail to our correspondent, the group’s Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kunle Famoriyo, said though the ex-president shared the blame, the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan was responsible for the extent of insecurity, economic crisis and corruption in the country. He said, “With the security of the country at the lowest abysmal region and unbridled corruption eating daily into the fabric of our society, you can smell nepotism all over the place. “The reign of impunity and terror can be found in President Jonathan’s administration. Even as former President Olusegun Obasanjo created part of the problems confronting Nigeria today, his reign cannot be compared with the clueless Jonathan administration that some people ar
