A North Carolina school with a large anti-vaccine community is at the heart of the state's largest chickenpox outbreak in decades, officials say. On Friday 36 students at Asheville Waldorf School were diagnosed with the disease, the Asheville Citizen-Times newspaper reported. The school has one of the state's highest rates of religious exemption, allowing students to skip vaccination. US health officials say vaccinating is far safer than getting chickenpox. "This is the biggest chickenpox outbreak state health officials are aware of since the vaccine became available," a North Carolina Department of Health spokesman told the BBC in an emailed statement.

The White House has restored the press credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta, less than two weeks after withdrawing them over an argument with President Trump during a news conference. The reversal came days after a judge ordered the administration to reinstate the journalist's press pass. Announcing its decision on Monday, the White House also issued "rules governing future press conferences". These include allowing only a single question from each journalist.

on this day in history in 2012 the church of England voted against Women Bishops but two years later in 2014  the Church of England voted on to allow women to become bishops, overturning centuries of tradition and overcoming a long-running dispute that had undermined women.
