A second man was charged with manslaughter over the deaths of 39 people found in the back of a truck near London, British police said on Friday, as they confirmed they now believe all the victims were Vietnamese. In Vietnam, police said they had detained two people. The discovery of the bodies in a container on an industrial es- tate has shone a spotlight on the illicit trade that sends the poor of Asia, Africa and the Middle East on perilous journeys to the West. The alleged truck driver has already been charged over the deaths, and on Friday detectives said Eamon Harrison, 23, from Northern Ireland, was also ac- cused of 39 counts of manslaughter as well as human trafficking and immigration offenc- es. Harrison appeared at Dublin’s High Court at the start of pro- ceedings to extradite him from Ireland to Britain. He was re- manded in custody until Nov. 11, a court spokesman said. The bodies were found in the early hours of Oct. 23 after the container arrived in Britain from Zeebrugge in Belgium. The container was picked up at Purfleet dock in Essex, east of London, by a truck allegedly dri- ven by Maurice Robinson, 25, from Northern Ireland. The victims were found not long after- ward. They initially said the victims were thought to be Chinese, but on Friday evening they said they were now all believed to Viet- namese. “We are in direct contact with a number of families in Vietnam and the U.K.,” Essex police Assistant Chief Constable Tim Smith said on Twitter. Vietnamese police said they had arrested two people and summoned others for question- ing on Friday after opening a criminal investigation into sus- pected human trafficking. British police also appealed on Friday to Ronan Hughes, 40, and his brother Christopher, 34, from Armagh in Northern Ireland, who they said were crucial to their inquiries. They are wanted on suspicion of manslaughter and human trafficking. Daniel Stoten, the officer lead- ing the investigation, said police had spoken to Ronan Hughes re- cently but needed to question the brothers in person. “Today I want to make a direct appeal. Ronan and Christopher, hand yourselves in,” Detective Chief Inspector Stoten said.

A noxious, throat-burning cloud has set-
tled over India’s capital, swallowing na-
tional monuments, sending people to
emergency rooms, and prompting officials
Friday to declare a public health emergen-
cy and close schools for days.
Air quality in parts of the city rose to lev-
els around 20 times what the World Health
Organization considers safe. By Friday af-
ternoon, officials in the capital region had
halted all construction projects, planned to
limit the number of vehicles on roads,
urged people to stay inside and shut several
thousand primary schools until Tuesday.
“We are in trouble,” said Dr. G.C. Khilna-
ni, a pulmonologist in the city.
Every winter, as wind speeds slow and
farmers burn their crops to make room for
a new harvest, dirty air settles over India’s
cities, putting hundreds of millions at risk.
Adding to it, pollution in New Delhi got
even worse after weekend celebrations of
Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, when
families set off fireworks despite govern-
ment warnings against it.
India has struggled to get in front of its
pollution crisis. Reports have found that
the country’s children may be facing per-
manent brain damage from poisonous air
and that millions of Indians have already
died from health problems connected to
living in polluted cities.
But even as air pollution climbed to dan-

gerous levels, some businesses in New Del- hi kept their doors open, and patrons at higher-end restaurants chose to sit outside. Face masks were still a rare sight on streets, and many politicians, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, refrained from publicly acknowledging the problem. Over the past few years, India’s environ- mentalists have warned about the long-

term effects of sustained exposure to air pollution levels that can reach the equiva- lent of smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. A recent report found that major causes of pollution in the capital and surround- ing cities, a metropolis of more than 46 mil- lion people, were construction dust, vehi- cle emissions and burning of agricultural waste.

A pharmacist who went door-to-door
handing out naloxone kits in a neighbour-
hood ravaged by opioid use choked back
tears on Friday as he admitted to profes-
sional misconduct.
At a disciplinary hearing, Jason New-
man said he felt he had no choice given the
urgent need for the potentially life-saving
drug.
“I am guilty of misconduct,” Mr. New-
man said haltingly. “Despite that, I have
certainly saved lives with what I did.”
The disciplinary panel accepted a joint
recommendation on punishment: a
month-long licence suspension and an
oral reprimand for tarnishing the profes-
sion. Mr. Newman also has one year to pass
an ethics course, failing which would get
his licence suspended for a second month.
Mr. Newman admitted to failing to live
up to professional standards by improper-
ly supervising people who helped him give
out the anti-opioid drug. He also agreed he
had failed to live up to an undertaking he
gave the Ontario College of Pharmacists in
February last year to abide by the stan-
dards.
The owner of Delaware Pharmacy near
London, Ont., said he was spurred to ac-

tion when he visited a homeless shelter but staff refused to allow him to offer training in naloxone use. They turned him down again a week later, he said, even after someone died of an overdose. “I decided it was necessary to train people around the area as quickly as possible,” Mr. Newman told the panel. Naloxone is a potentially life-saving medication used to reverse opioid over- doses. It can be distributed for free. However, pharmacists are supposed to teach about its use, on identifying overdos- es and resuscitation among other things. Mr. Newman said he went door-to-door tto up to 40 businesses in the immediate shelter area, but delegated some of the distribution ttasks because he couldn’t do it all himself. He said he allowed non-pharmacist employees to provide kit recipients with information and training, but only after extensive practice. “We’d already been through it several hundred times,” he said. As part of his admissions, Mr. Newman agreed to a new undertaking to abide by the rules, saying he now has 10 other pharmacists he can count on for distribution and training. The college, which withdrew other related allegations in exchange for the admissions, made it clear it was not alleging any

dishonesty or misconduct, its lawyer Mat- thew Gourlay said. Mr. Gourlay, who said Mr. Newman’s motives were “appropriate and laudable,” said the pharmacist believed that having naloxone kkits in as many hands as possible was crucial to stemming the tide of opioid deaths. Nearly 1,500 people died of opioid-related causes in Ontario last year, up from 1,261 deaths reported in 2017.The stigma around drug use is a barrier to ob- taining services, prompting the pharmacist to do his outreach, the panel heard. The hearing was given an agreed state- ment of facts in which Mr. Newman admitted his misconduct.“These allegations have to do with Mr. Newman’s work in dis- pensing naloxone in the community,” Mr. Gourlay said. “Mr. Newman has done im- portant work in that area but has breached certain guidelines of the college.”The breaches, Mr. Gourlay said, related to dis- pensing naloxone without regard to indi- vidual need or clinical appropriateness, aallowing non-pharmacist employees or agents to give out the drug, and failing to supervise them properly. Mr. Newman said he was always nearby when the kits were given out, so the real issue was the degree of supervision.
