Health chiefs have warned of a surge in a lethal flu-like bacterial disease that can lead to permanent disability and even rapid death.
Meningitis W, an infection of the protective membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, has been detected in those travelling to the UK from the Middle East.
The five cases, confirmed between February and March, had all either recently returned from an Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, or had family members who had, according to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
The deadly condition spreads primarily by droplets from the nose and mouth through close contact with the infected person, such as by coughing, sneezing or kissing.
Symptoms can initially appear flu like, but without rapid treatment can cause life-threatening septicemia, otherwise known as blood poisoning.
Within hours this can trigger complications including brain damage, seizures and even death.
Officials have urged Britons to ensure they've received the meningitis vaccine to prevent against infection, especially those planning a trip to Saudi Arabia.
Dr Shamez Ladhani, consultant epidemiologist at UKHSA, said: 'Vaccination is essential for pilgrims travelling to Saudi Arabia, particularly given recent cases among UK returnees and their families.
'Meningococcal disease [the medical term for meningitis] can be fatal and may leave survivors with serious lifelong conditions including hearing loss, brain damage and limb amputations.
'Pilgrims should ensure vaccination at least ten days before travel and remain vigilant for symptoms like sudden fever, severe headache, stiff neck, or rash.
'If you or anyone at home becomes unwell with any symptoms of meningitis within two weeks of returning from Saudi Arabia, contact your GP or NHS 111, mentioning your recent travel history, or dial 999 in case of emergency.'
Dr Sahira Dar, President of the British Islamic Medical Association, added: 'Millions of people gather in close proximity during the pilgrimages, in accommodation, and on public transport, increasing the risk of contracting infectious diseases like meningitis.'
The association 'highly recommends' anyone attending the pilgrimages get the meningitis vaccine — known medically as the MenACWY vaccine — she added.
Muslim pilgrims make trips to Mecca throughout the year to receive blessings.
Some also undertake a larger pilgrimage, known as the Hajj pilgrimage, at least once in their lifetime, which this year will take place from June 4 to June 9.
UKHSA officials said several Meningitis W cases throughout 2024 were known to have had recent travel to the Middle East, with similar cases also identified in France and the US.

GROOMED - A NATIONAL SCANDAL
Anna Hall’s unflinching exposé reveals the years of abuse girls as young as 11 endured from grooming gangs, the misogyny that allowed so many blind eyes to be turned – and how little has changed today

‘Chantelle … was misusing cannabis and alcohol and … placing herself at risk of sexual exploitation” is a staggering sentence to find in a council’s case summary about a child in its foster care system. Here’s another one, from an assessment record by children’s services on the subject of 14-year-old Erin (not her real name). “Erin … is being exploited into prostitution. She hangs around with a number of men who take her money. She is a very promiscuous girl.”
I could go on. Groomed: A National Scandal is full of them. Film-maker Anna Hall has decades’ worth of material to choose from. Her 2004 film Edge of the City was the first television exposé of what we now call grooming gangs, born of research she had begun after a chance meeting five years before with a senior director at Barnardo’s children’s charity who told her that they had noticed a new pattern of child abuse. Groups of men were targeting vulnerable children – almost always white girls, usually in the care system – befriending them, giving them drink and drugs, becoming their “boyfriends”, then having sex with them and offering them round to other men.
Chantelle, now 32, speaks here of being 11 when her twentysomething “boyfriend”, one of the men who used to sit on the wall outside her Manchester children’s home, started grooming her. The abuse, including being kept in a hotel room for days and “passed about”, went on for years. She contacted the police many times, she says, but “they never done anything”.
Erin was groomed from the age of 12 and first raped at 13. The police told her mother that it was Erin’s lifestyle choice. An even worse attack followed. Her mother took her daughter (“bitemarks head to toe”) and her knickers full of semen back to the police. They did nothing. A social services report notes that she is “a young girl … who frequently puts herself at risk”.
Hall’s film lays out the systemic failures of the police and all the other authorities supposedly in charge of protecting these girls and thousands like them, not just then, but now and all the terrible years in between. It is a tale of blind eyes turned, abundant evidence ignored, reports buried and task forces disbanded.
One such taskforce was Operation Augusta, set up as a result of the 2003 death of 15-year-old Victoria Agoglia after she reported being raped and forcibly injected with heroin by a much older Asian man. It was led by detective constable Maggie Oliver, who says here it took just weeks to find evidence of grooming gangs (“We identified about 97 child rapists”) to whom such vulnerable girls were “just cannon fodder”. The group was broken up while Oliver was away on compassionate leave.
Jayne Senior, who would become the whistleblower and source for the Times newspaper articles that first brought the Rotherham grooming scandal to public attention, says the Home Office report she helped prepare was buried for clearer reasons. “I was told on more than one occasion to stop rocking the multicultural boat,” she says.
The ethnicity of many of the men involved, of course, is what seems to have made the subject so unpalatable to the powers that be. The possibility of being seen as racist – or, given the religion of many of the alleged perpetrators, Islamophobic – apparently outweighed the need to stop children being beaten, raped and trafficked. The testimony of more recent survivors suggests that, whatever the claims made by the various police forces and authorities about a revolution in approaches since, little has changed.
The anger of Senior, Oliver and Hall herself is palpable, with Hall’s fuelling but never overwhelming the film. The survivors are still deeper in survival mode, trying to heal, to overcome the damage and the grief caused by their terrible experiences. How you do that in a world that still privileges image over awful substance, a world in which the deep misogyny that allows female suffering to be dismissed and the victims blamed for it, I do not know. But it is films like Groomed – in their unflinching detail, in the testimonies they present, in the unpublished reports they excerpt – that may function as a stepping stone, somehow, some day, to some redress.

COMPANY CLAIMS TO HAVE DEVELOPED A SOURCE OF CLEAN UNLIMITED ENERGY BY CONVERTING WATER TO "DARK MATTER"
Electrical Power from Hydrogen to Dark Matter
Brilliant Light Power has developed a new commercially competitive, non-polluting, plasma-based primary source of massive power from the conversion of hydrogen atoms of water molecules to dark matter, the previously unidentified matter that makes up most of the mass of the universe. The SunCell® that was invented to harness the new power source catalytically converts hydrogen directly into dark matter form called Hydrino® releasing brilliant high-energy light which is down-converted in energy to facilitate the production of electricity using commercially-available concentrator photovoltaic cells.
A Current Commercial Design SunCell®
The Power of the SunCell®
The electricity producing SunCell® uses a catalyst to cause hydrogen atoms of water molecules to transition to the lower-energy Hydrino® states by allowing their electrons to fall to smaller radii around the nucleus. This results in a release of energy that is intermediate between chemical and nuclear energies and a nonpolluting product. The energy release of the hydrogen separated from H2O, that can be acquired even from the humidity in the air, is over one hundred times that of an equivalent amount of high-octane gasoline. The highest known power density with direct electricity conversion facilitates essentially all power applications untethered to fuels or grid infrastructure. The electrical generation cost is anticipated to be less than 10% that of any known power source.
