Savannah Guthrie's brother renewed his family's plea for proof of life for their missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, after an alleged ransom deadline passed, while the Royal Australian Mint faced criticism over a new coin portrait of the late Queen Elizabeth II. In other news, Canada is set to open its first diplomatic outpost in Greenland, and more baby formula products have been recalled in the UK due to toxin fears. Emails from the Epstein files also revealed new details about Prince Andrew's relationship with a financier.
Camron Guthrie, the brother of US news presenter Savannah Guthrie, renewed his family's plea for proof that their mother, Nancy Guthrie, is still alive after she disappeared last weekend from her home in Tucson, Arizona. According to BBC World, the 84-year-old is believed to have been abducted. A reward of $50,000 (36,000) is being offered for information leading to an arrest. "We have to know that you have our mum," Camron Guthrie said in a video posted to Instagram, according to BBC World.
The Royal Australian Mint released two commemorative coins to mark the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II's birth, but the coins have been criticized for their lack of resemblance to the late monarch. The 5 and 50 cent silver coins were released in an online ballot that closed on Wednesday. One person reacted negatively online, stating, "That's got to be the most unpleasant portrait on a coin," according to BBC World. The Royal Australian Mint defended the portrait, stating that their coin images do not always capture the full beauty of a subject.
In a show of solidarity, Canada is set to open its first diplomatic outpost in Greenland following threats from US President Donald Trump to take control of the territory. A delegation of senior Canadian officials, including Governor General Mary Simon and Foreign Minister Anita Anand, will travel to Nuuk on Friday to formally open the consulate, accompanied by a Canadian Coast Guard ship, according to BBC World. Ahead of the trip, Simon said in a speech that Canada "stands firmly in support of the people of Greenland."
Meanwhile, more baby formula products have been recalled in the UK over potential contamination. Food manufacturer Danone has recalled 14 more batches of Aptamil and Cow & Gate first infant and follow-on milks because a toxin called cereulide may make them unsafe for babies to drink. The toxin can cause vomiting and stomach cramps, and 36 children in the UK are already suspected to have been affected by food poisoning, according to BBC Business. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) advises parents to check the batches listed on their website and stop using them.
Emails from the Epstein files have cast new light on Prince Andrew's relationship with businessman David Rowland, revealing that Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein that Rowland was his "trusted money man." Emails seem to show Andrew trying to promote Rowland's financial ventures at a time when Andrew was the UK's trade envoy. However, Epstein appeared reluctant to engage with the multi-millionaire Conservative Party donor, after he was warned that the UK press were calling Rowland a "shady financier," according to BBC Business.
