Tennessee Governor Bill Lee halted the execution of Christa Gail Pike after she remained breathing and snoring despite receiving two doses of lethal drugs. Pike was taken to hospital, while Lee ordered a comprehensive independent review and said scheduled executions would not proceed this year.
Lawyers say Tennessee woman Christa Pike survived two attempts to administer a lethal injection before her execution was halted. Media witnesses left Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville.
Christa Pike, who has spent more than 30 years on death row for torturing and murdering a classmate, was due to be executed on Wednesday. The lethal injections failed to kill her, and she was taken to a medical facility. Her lawyers said they had received no information about her condition beyond confirmation that she remained alive.
Lawyers say US death row inmate Christa Pike is in hospital after surviving two lethal injections. Pike was 18 when she and her boyfriend beat and killed 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer at a job training camp for young people.
Media witnesses said Tennessee officials were unable to execute Christa Gail Pike on Wednesday. Pike was sentenced to death for a 1995 murder, but the lethal-injection attempt did not succeed, prompting the governor to halt executions.

A Flydubai flight from Dubai to Israel was the scene of an attempted hijacking on September 30. One pilot stabbed the co-pilot, after which passengers and crew entered the cockpit and subdued him. The plane plunged about 15,000 feet, sent a distress call and made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia under the control of other crew members. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was too early to identify the cause or determine whether Iran was involved, while Israel’s defence minister called it an act of “jihadist terrorism.”
Passengers on a flydubai flight bound for Tel Aviv described terrifying moments after an altercation broke out in the cockpit. The aircraft was diverted to Saudi Arabia, and passengers said several people rushed in to intervene and helped bring the situation under control.
Flydubai has temporarily halted flights to and from Israel after one of its pilots stabbed the copilot during a flight. The incident appears to have involved an attempt to crash a passenger aircraft bound for Tel Aviv, and Israel’s defence minister called it a thwarted “terror attack”.

Swiss scientists report rapid ice loss at the Rhône Glacier, with heatwaves and a dry winter driving the country’s second-largest glacier melt on record.
EeuronewsOriginal★★★☆☆2026-10-01 06:59
Swiss glaciers lost 5.5% of their ice volume in 2026, the second-largest annual loss on record, according to GLAMOS and the Swiss Commission for Cryosphere Observation. Record heat and a snow-poor winter accelerated melting, while the 2022-2026 melt rate was more than twice that of any previously monitored five-year period.
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.
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.
