A truck transporting research monkeys from Tulane University in New Orleans overturned on a Mississippi highway. “All but one of the escaped monkeys have been destroyed. We have been in contact with an animal disposal company to help handle the situation. Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries is also on site with our local law enforcement. We are continuing to look for the one monkey that is still on the loose,” the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department stated. “On 10/28/25 a wreck occurred on I59 near mile marker 117. This was a truck carrying Rehsus monkeys from Tulane University. The monkeys are approximately 40lbs, they are aggressive to humans and they require PPE to handle. The monkeys carry hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID. Tulane University has been notified and will send a team to pick up the monkeys tomorrow ( the ones that are still caged),” it continued.

The escaped monkeys carry diseases but were not infectious, authorities said. They were being housed at the Tulane University National Biomedical Research Center in New Orleans, Louisiana, which routinely provides primates to scientific research organizations, according to the university. The monkeys “are provided to other research organizations to advance scientific discovery,” a Tulane University spokesperson told CBS News in a statement. “The primates in question belong to another entity and are not infectious. We are actively collaborating with local authorities and will send a team of animal care experts to assist as needed.” Mississippi Wildlife and Fisheries is also on site, according to the sheriff’s department. It’s not clear who the monkeys belong to or where they were going. Rhesus macaque primates have brown fur with red faces and ears. They have close-cropped hair on their heads, which accentuates their very expressive faces. Rhesus macaques were imported to the United States in the 1970s for biomedical research in laboratories, according to the New England Primate Conservancy. Rhesus macaques are “bold, extremely curious and adventurous monkeys,” and the species is “highly adaptable to coexisting alongside humans,” the conservancy says. The sheriff’s department initially said the monkeys were carrying diseases, including herpes, but Tulane University said in a statement that the monkeys “are not infectious.” According to Jasper County Sheriff Randy Johnson, 21 monkeys were on the truck and six of them escaped. 15 remain caged after the crash.

Vice President JD Vance tamped down concerns about renewed warfare in Gaza on Tuesday after an attack on Israel Defense Forces in the Israeli-controlled territory of the enclave. The IDF reported that Hamas had launched an attack on Israeli forces behind the so-called “yellow line,” or the line behind which Israel agreed to station its troops as part of a ceasefire with Hamas earlier this month. The attack, which was a breach of the ceasefire agreement, reportedly killed one Israeli soldier. Vance said during a visit to Capitol Hill on Tuesday that the ceasefire will hold despite the violent flare up. “The president achieved a historic peace in the Middle East, the ceasefire is holding. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t going to be little skirmishes here and there,” said Vance. “We know that Hamas, or somebody else within Gaza, attacked an IDF soldier. We expect the Israelis are going to respond, but I think the president’s peace is going to hold despite it.” JD Vance on Hamas Ceasefire Violation: “The ceasefire is holding. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t going to be little skirmishes.” “We know that Hamas or somebody else within Gaza attacked an IDF soldier.

Hospitals in Gaza reported that at least 20 people were killed in the Israeli airstrikes on Tuesday. It is unclear how reliable the numbers are after Hamas’ data on the war has repeatedly been found to be flawed. Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade. Get everything for $7 a month.

The violence came after an earlier ceasefire violation from Hamas in which the terror group buried the remains of an Israeli hostage before calling the Red Cross to come and “discover” the body. Israel released drone footage capturing Hamas terrorists hiding the hostage remains. The footage appears to show members of the Red Cross standing by as dirt is dumped over a white sheet. The IDF said in a statement that the terror group is “is attempting to create a false impression of efforts to locate the bodies,” according to CNN. The Red Cross also denounced the act in a statement: “It is unacceptable that a fake recovery was staged, when so much depends on this agreement being upheld and when so many families are still anxiously awaiting news of their loved ones.”

We can say without a doubt that Vanna White is a household name in the United States. She’s been part of Wheel of Fortune for more than four decades, stunning nightly with her amazing wardrobe. You may remember Nelly said he was “Paying cash, first class, sitting next to Vanna White” in his 2000 hit, Ride Wit Me. We all love Vanna White, and plenty of people would be starstruck if they ever had the chance to meet her. According to Parade, Vanna made an appearance at the 2025 Tournament of Slots at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas in October 2025 and made a cameo during a double wedding. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vanna White (@officialvannawhite) Vanna White Said She’s Not The Nervous Type, But She’s Definitely Been Starstruck Vanna told Parade she’s not often nervous while filming Wheel, but some situations do give her butterflies. “I don’t get nervous very often,” she said. “Every once in a while, I do. Like if I know we have a million dollars on the wheel, and she picks up the million dollars… It’s not nerves, but my heart is pounding. It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I just want her to solve it or him to solve it!’” Vanna White also admitted she’s been starstruck in the past, but only by two people. “I remember years ago, I was sitting in the makeup chair and Stevie Wonder walked in,” Vanna said. “So yes, I got nervous when I saw Stevie Wonder. And I also got nervous when I saw Mister Rogers. He came on our show and I was just so nervous to meet him.” Those are some pretty big stars; we would be just as nervous as Vanna. But let’s be honest, if we saw Vanna on a plane, we might be too shy to buy a vowel or ask for a selfie. This story’s featured image is by Kathy Hutchins via Shutterstock.
