International researchers suggest that the descendants of the Black Death that consumed Europe during the first outbreak of the bubonic plague in the 14th century, are the source of subsequent repeated European plague outbreaks that followed in later centuries.

Express.co.uk reports: Meanwhile French prime minister Manuel Valls admitted the EU “could very well break up in a very short time”.
