Exposed Ebola Patient Evacuations Spark Rift Over US Return Policy

U.S. officials allegedly resisted returning an Ebola‑exposed American for US care, instead sending surgeon Peter Stafford to Germany for treatment while another exposed doctor was moved to Prague for monitoring; Stafford’s wife and four children also went to Germany, and an additional family member was returned to the U.S. The CDC confirmed Stafford’s Ebola infection as lawmakers and the White House faced questions about the decision, alongside new travel screening rules for travelers from DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan.

Mass Prague Rally Pushes Back Against Babiš's New Government

Tens of thousands gathered at Prague’s Letná Park, with organizers estimating up to 200,000, to protest Prime Minister Andrej Babiš's new coalition. They warned the government threatens democracy and could steer the Czech Republic toward autocracy, opposing his stance on Ukraine, backing a Russian-style foreign-agent law, and raising concerns about plans to fund public broadcasters—alongside immunity votes that keep Babiš from standing trial until 2029.

NHL Unveils 2028 World Cup of Hockey With Three Host Cities

The NHL announced at its Palm Beach GM meetings that the 2028 World Cup of Hockey will be staged in February 2028 with Prague, Calgary and Edmonton as hosts, marking the event's return since 2016. The league will partner with IIHF to ensure participation of players from outside the NHL and will use NHL rules (including five-on-five overtime) instead of international rules, with the round robin split between Prague and Calgary and the semifinals/finals in Edmonton, occurring mid-season during 2027-28. Russia’s involvement remains uncertain amid IIHF exclusions, and the NHL is weighing format options and potential expansions as it positions the event ahead of the 2030 Olympics.

From a short Prague trip to a lasting family home in the Czech Republic

Amanda Meyer Barkley left Louisiana in 2018 for a teaching-certification trip to Prague and ended up staying with her husband and two kids. She weathered early financial strains, switched to multiple teaching and service gigs, learned Czech gradually, and now lives in Holešovice with a two-year long-term residence permit. The family enjoys Prague’s parks, safety, and slower pace of life, while balancing ties to the U.S.; they travel across Europe and plan to return to teaching after maternity leave, but Prague has become home for good.
