The Pilot Of The Bournemouth Air Festival Tragedy Dodged A 'Catastrophe'

Image
After a plane fell into the water, injuring two people at the Bournemouth Air Festival, an eyewitness described how a pilot avoided a "catastrophe." On Saturday, a wing-walker plane crashed away from the exhibition area off the coast of Bournemouth. Alan Badenhorst assisted in the rescue of the couple by hauling them onto his boat in Poole Harbour. According to Dorset Police, the crew suffered minor injuries. He described the pilot's performance as a "great feat of flying." When Mr Badenhorst observed the low-flying aircraft, he was in a dinghy with his partner and their three young children. "He remarked, "The plane continued dropping lower and lower." "The plane then slammed into the ocean and flipped over." The father of one, from Wareham, Dorset, said his family then rushed to the Aerosuperbatics plane's help, dragging the pilot and a woman from the sea and into their dinghy. According to him, the plane sank shortly after. "

Following accusations that he helped obtain an accolade for a Saudi contributor, a former close assistant to Prince Charles stood aside temporarily from his post as chief executive of a royal organization. Michael Fawcett coordinated assistance for Saudi businessman Mahfouz Marei Mubarak bin Mahfouz, according to the Sunday Times and Mail on Sunday publications. According to The Times, the billionaire gave The Prince's Foundation more than 1.5 million pounds ($2.1 million) to fund heritage restoration projects of importance to Charles, including properties he used. At a private ceremony in 2016, Charles awarded Mahfouz an honorary CBE, or Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, according to the story. Saudi Arabia denies any wrongdoing. In a statement, the Prince's Foundation stated Fawcett offered to temporarily step down as the organization's top executive while an inquiry is conducted.

Since announcing a "break" barely two weeks after the channel's inception, the veteran broadcaster has not been on it. Neil has yet to return to the channel, despite assertions that the sabbatical was just short and that he will return "before the summer is up." Now, amid rumors of a power struggle at the top of the right-wing broadcaster, the former BBC executive is poised to go. Neil, the chairman and cornerstone broadcaster of GB News, was set to return on Monday, September 6. This has now been canceled, according to reports.  According to The Telegraph, he is poised to resign without appearing on the program again. According to the newspaper, GB News CEO Angelos Frangopoulos intends to steer the channel in a path similar to Fox News in the United States. Before the launch, Neil stated unequivocally that this would not happen. Neil was said to have been "near to tears" at one point during the early phases of the fledgling channel due to technical ch

Lord Young's Daughter Died Hours After Complaining Of A Headache, Prompting An Investigation By The Hospital

Image
Lord Young's daughter died unexpectedly after complaining of a terrible headache, leaving her friends and family in a state of shock. After becoming unwell amid a heat wave, Gaia Young died on July 21. She went for a bike ride, bought some vintage clothing, and had a friend over for supper on the day she was rushed to the hospital. She excused herself later that evening and sat on a sofa in the front room. "She abruptly removes herself from the table," her mother, Dorit Young, said. We were completely unaware of it at first. "Then she calls on the landline to say, 'Mum, I'm in the front room with a very bad headache.' Gaia herself believed she was suffering from a heat stroke. But an hour later, she was violently vomiting, and the ambulance arrived at 9.30 p.m., and I sat in the ambulance with her." Gaia was transferred to the University College London Hospital (UCLH) with no underlying medical issues and was confirmed brain dead 16 hours later. She

As He Confronts Pressure To Safeguard Abortion, Biden Begins A Federal Response To The Texas Law

Image
President Joe Biden used the word "abortion" for the first time as president on Wednesday, in response to a new Texas law that effectively outlaws most abortions. The lack of the term from Biden's public remarks and pronouncements has enraged advocates, who argue that it represents an issue that has fallen off the priority list even as women's right to abortion is under attack in states across the Midwest and South. The Supreme Court refused a motion from Texas abortion clinics to put the state legislation on hold, ensuring it will remain in effect for the time being. Patients have already been turned away by abortion clinics in the state because they are unsure of their legal status. Biden used the word again in a statement released Thursday morning, calling the Texas law a "extraordinary assault on a woman's constitutional rights." Biden criticized the law's unique enforcement mechanism, which allows ordinary persons to initiate civil actions again

Ministers May Ignore The JCVI And Push For Covid Vaccinations For All 12- To 15-Year-Olds

Image
Ministers could ignore their official vaccine consultants for the first time and push for Covid vaccinations for all 12- to 15-year-olds, after a scientific body ruled that the net health benefit of vaccination was too tiny. Ministers will seek additional data that could help them overturn the watchdog's decision, highlighting a deepening divergence between the government and scientific experts over the next phase of the vaccine campaign. After days of speculation, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) released a statement on Friday saying that while the health benefits of vaccinating the entire age group outweighed the risks, "the margin of benefit is considered too small to support universal vaccination of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds," At this time, the evidence is insufficient to justify universal immunization of healthy 12- to 15-year-olds." On Friday, a line of young people formed in London to get vaccinated. Instead, the group advised expan

Six Militants In Bangladesh Have Been Sentenced To Death For The Murder Of Gay Activists

Image
On Tuesday, police escorted four of the eight accused to court. A Bangladeshi court condemned six members of an Islamist militant organization to death on Tuesday for the savage execution of two LGBT rights activists five years ago. In an attack claimed by Ansar Al Islam, the regional arm of al Qaeda, Xulhaz Mannan, 35, the editor of Bangladesh's first magazine for gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people, and actor Mahbub Rabbi Tonoy, 25, were hacked to death in Mannan's apartment in the capital Dhaka in April 2016. The executions were part of a wave of attacks on atheist bloggers, academics, and other minorities that horrified the 170 million-strong South Asian nation, prompting many to flee or seek asylum. The six were also found guilty of belonging to a terrorist organization, Khan added, the al Qaeda-inspired local militant group Ansar Ullah Bangla Team, which police suspect is responsible for the murders of more than a dozen secular activists and bloggers.

As An Election Gamble Backfires, Justin Trudeau Is In Danger Of Losing Power

Image
After a spate of embarrassments, Justin Trudeau's decision to call a snap election in order to gain a majority government is at risk of backfiring, with polls showing the liberal leader trailing the conservative opposition. After leading almost every poll for more than a year and being praised by many for his handling of the pandemic, he is again behind the Conservative Party, bringing analogies to Theresa May's failed snap election attempt in 2017. Mr Trudeau was once the darling of the left, adorning the pages of publications in the months following his 2015 election victory, which fawned over his good looks and progressive ideals. The 49-year-old, who now leads a minority government after poor election results in 2019, called the election because he believes he needs a stronger mandate to lead Canada through the coronavirus outbreak. Conservatives have turned the election into a referendum on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, citing an increase in Covid-19 cases and a recession

According To The Watchdog, Vulnerable Youngsters Are Being "Put At Risk" So That Police Can Investigate Paedophiles

Image
According to the police watchdog, vulnerable children are being left at risk from paedophiles because detectives do not want to jeopardize their investigations. It criticizes the Metropolitan Police Service of making little progress in child safety and expresses "serious concerns" about how detectives investigate online child abuse and the usage of indecent photos. Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) highlighted delays in identifying victims and checking phones and computers in a report, and discovered that certain specialist workers were inexperienced and unskilled. "The inspectorate noticed examples where police detectives delayed notifying children's social care about children living in a residence with someone who was uploading photographs of child abuse because they didn't want to jeopardize the investigation - potentially putting children at risk," the HMICFRS said. The watchdog analyzed force rules, st
