Health and public safety concerns dominated the day, from disaster zones to outbreak warnings. In the Philippines, rescuers are still combing through the ruins of an unfinished hotel after its collapse killed at least three people, with many more feared trapped. In Tokyo, an investigation is under way after an unknown sprayed substance near the upscale Ginza district left more than 20 people hospitalized with throat irritation, raising fresh questions about urban crowd safety. Globally, the World Health Organization is sounding an alarm over Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo, warning the outbreak is spreading faster than containment efforts and could threaten neighboring countries. Elsewhere, a major political scandal deepened in Scotland as former SNP chief executive Peter Murrell admitted embezzling more than £400,000. And in a far lighter development, CBS has paused copyright takedowns over viral uploads of Stephen Colbert’s “Only in Monroe” appearance after a public backlash.
