Indian pilot Smit Machchhar has been praised for his actions during a drama on a flydubai flight. Aviation was never part of his childhood dreams, he says.
A mid-air attack on a Flydubai aircraft traveling from the United Arab Emirates to Tel Aviv was prevented Wednesday after passengers and crew rushed into the cockpit and regained control of the plane, averting what could have been a catastrophic outcome.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Yaniv Hayun, a passenger who helped subdue a pilot after a stabbing aboard a Flydubai flight bound for Israel. Hayun recalled the dramatic cockpit attack.
President Donald Trump said the FlyDubai pilot who stabbed a colleague in the cockpit while the flight was headed to Israel was “perhaps a terrorist.” Trump also said he had discussed the incident with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The execution of convicted murderer Christa Pike has descended into disarray after two lethal injections failed to kill her. Witnesses said prison officials administered the drugs, but Pike was still alive 40 minutes later.
Media witnesses say Tennessee officials were unable to execute Christa Gail Pike by lethal injection Wednesday. Pike was sentenced for a 1995 murder.
The US Supreme Court overturned a last-minute stay issued by the 6th Circuit, allowing Tennessee to proceed with Christa Pike’s execution. Pike was sentenced to death for killing 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in 1995. Her lawyers say her childhood sexual abuse, mental illness and age at the time were not fully considered.
The Supreme Court has cleared the way for Tennessee to execute Christa Pike for murdering a classmate when she was 18. A federal court had halted the execution shortly before it was scheduled to take place.
The US Supreme Court overturned a last-minute stay, clearing the way for Tennessee inmate Christa Pike to be executed by lethal injection. Pike was sentenced to death for the 1996 murder of Colleen Slemmer. Three liberal justices dissented, saying her pending legal challenges had not been properly considered.
The US Supreme Court has allowed Christa Gail Pike’s execution in Tennessee to move forward. The justices said they want to examine whether her allegations of childhood sexual abuse and rape were fully considered before she was sentenced to death.
A federal appeals court has paused the execution of Christa Pike, 50, Tennessee’s only woman on death row. Pike was sentenced to death after being convicted of murdering 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in 1995.
A US federal appeals court temporarily halted Tennessee’s planned execution of death row inmate Christa Pike less than two hours before her lethal injection. The 6th Circuit is considering her claim that evidence of childhood sexual abuse was not properly weighed at sentencing. Tennessee has asked the Supreme Court to lift the stay.
A US federal court stayed the execution of 50-year-old Christa Pike just hours before it was scheduled at a maximum-security prison in Nashville. Her lawyers argued that proceedings had failed to consider sexual abuse she suffered as a child. The Tennessee Supreme Court had declined to intervene, and Governor Bill Lee rejected clemency.
A US appeals court briefly stayed the execution of death row inmate Christa Pike less than two hours before the lethal injection was scheduled. The court said it needed time to consider her claim that severe sexual abuse in her history had not been considered at sentencing.
Christa Pike, 50, has spent 30 years on death row for a murder committed when she was 18. Hours before her scheduled execution, a federal appeals court issued a temporary stay while it reviews her case. Tennessee’s attorney general is seeking to move ahead with the execution.
The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed Tennessee to proceed with Christa Gail Pike’s execution, overturning a last-minute stay issued by an appeals court just hours earlier on Wednesday.
The execution of Tennessee death-row inmate Christa Pike was halted an hour before it was scheduled. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals said it needed more time to consider her case. Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 for murdering Colleen Slemmer.
A federal appeals court stopped Tennessee from carrying out Christa Pike’s execution about an hour before it was scheduled to begin.
Tennessee is set to carry out its first execution of a woman in more than 200 years, after the US Supreme Court rejected a last-minute appeal. Christa Pike, convicted of torturing and killing a classmate in 1995, has asked to be shot by an all-female firing squad instead of receiving lethal injection. Her lawyers cite trauma, mental illness and possible difficulties inserting an IV; the governor denied clemency, while UN experts urged commutation.

Scientists warn that Swiss glaciers have lost an “enormous” amount of ice this year. They attribute the loss to a winter with too little snow combined with record-high temperatures across Europe during the summer.
AAl JazeeraOriginal★★★★☆2026-10-01 04:58
Experts say Swiss glaciers lost 5.5% of their ice volume this year, as heat waves and low winter snowfall accelerated the thaw.
Swiss glaciers shrank by 5.5% in the first eight months of 2026, taking total ice loss since 2021 to 19.4%, researchers say. Heatwaves after a low-snow winter and fossil fuel pollution are accelerating their collapse, with internal meltwater streams creating cavities that cause ice roofs to fall in.
Swiss glaciers lost nearly a fifth of their mass over five years, with 2026 recording the second-largest decline on record. The GLAMOS network measured a 5.5% loss this year, driven by heat waves, scant winter snow and record summer temperatures. Experts warn some glaciers could have no ice left within 10 to 15 years.
Swiss glaciers lost an estimated 5.5% of their ice in the past year, a near-record decline intensified by summer heatwaves. Scientists say the meltwater has temporarily eased shortages but is depleting a frozen reserve needed for farming, hydropower and shipping, while thinner glaciers may raise landslide and flash-flood risks.
