A video of a couple having sex on a Swiss Air flight has upset many people online, leading to an investigation by the airline. The incident happened in November on Flight 181, which was traveling from Bangkok to Zurich. The footage was recorded by security cameras in the airplane’s kitchen area.

A user on social media shared a blurred image of the video and said, “A couple joined the mile-high club in the first-class galley while being secretly recorded by the pilots.” It was also mentioned that the pilots are being investigated for sharing the video in group chats, which then became very popular online.

Swiss Air is looking into the situation because the couple’s privacy was violated. The airline has promised to find out who filmed the video without permission and to take appropriate action against those involved.

Meike Fuhlrott, a spokesperson for Swiss Air, explained that filming someone without their consent and sharing that footage is against their rules and data protection laws. She also said the crew should have stopped the couple instead of recording them.

The sexual activity was caught on a live camera meant for cockpit security, which is used to ensure the pilot’s safety. The airline said the video and the comments shared about it on social media are disrespectful to the passengers.

Mike Tyson, the famous boxer, is facing a lawsuit because he is accused of breaking a contract with a gambling company to fight YouTube star Jake Paul. The lawsuit says Tyson’s company, Tyrannic, went against an agreement made earlier this year.

A big news story claims that a Saudi Arabian royal named Turki Alalshikh offered Tyson a staggering $700 million if he can knock out Jake Paul in just three minutes. Alalshikh said, “Jake Paul is a joke. I’ll pay Tyson $700 million if he fights Jake for real and wins by knockout fast.”

Last month, Jake Paul beat Tyson in a fight that many thought was boring and possibly staged. Tyson might get a chance to fight for real and make up for it because of this huge offer.

The gambling company, called Medier, is upset because they say Tyson’s deal with Netflix to fight Paul has cost them around $1.59 million. They believe Tyson broke their agreement when he took the Netflix fight instead.

Tyson’s team said in a statement that Medier broke the rules of their deal first, so Tyson’s company was right to end the agreement to protect Tyson’s reputation.

A gunman killed the CEO of the largest health insurance company in the U.S., UnitedHealthcare, in New York City. The shooting has shocked many people and companies. After the attack, the shooter quickly escaped on a bus, but he accidentally left behind a backpack in Central Park.

Almost four days later, police still don’t know who he is or why he did it. They think he might be unhappy with the insurance company and are looking into that possibility. The FBI is offering a reward of $50,000 for any information that can help catch him.

The gunman was seen riding a bike into Central Park and then taking a taxi to a bus station, which goes to New Jersey and other cities, but police don’t have footage of him leaving the station. They think he may have used a fake ID and paid in cash when he checked into a hostel near Columbia University.

The police found some items linked to him, like a water bottle and a protein bar wrapper, and they are checking for his DNA. Security cameras captured a picture of him smiling in the hostel lobby, but he kept his mask on most of the time, making it hard to identify him.

Witnesses say he was quiet and didn’t talk to anyone at the hostel. The police searched his hotel room but didn’t find anything useful. They have to gather a lot of information before they can make an arrest.

The shooter attacked Thompson from behind, using a quiet gun to avoid drawing attention. Some words were found on the bullets, which may connect to the idea of insurance companies delaying payments and denying claims.

Thompson, a father of two boys, had worked for UnitedHealthcare since 2004 and had been the CEO for over three years. After the tragic event, UnitedHealth Group paused its annual meeting and focused on helping Thompson’s family and workers.

The shooting has made other health insurance companies rethink their security, with some even telling their employees to work from home.

Storm Darragh has brought strong winds and heavy rain, prompting warnings for millions to stay indoors. The government declared a “risk to life” alert, affecting places in Wales and south-west England. This alert started at 1 a.m. on Saturday and is the biggest use of this warning system yet.

Power outages have hit over 12,600 homes in the Midlands and south-west England, with more than 20,000 homes in Wales also without electricity. Northern Ireland’s electricity authority said they can’t give an estimate on when power will be restored because of many faults.

Roads and bridges, like the Prince of Wales Bridge and Severn Bridge, have closed due to the severe winds. Train services west of Cardiff are also suspended because of fallen trees blocking the tracks. The Met Office issued a red weather warning, the highest kind, indicating strong and dangerous winds of up to 90 mph.

The alert is in place from 3 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, and it advises people to avoid driving if possible. Mobile phones sent out a loud emergency message even if they were on silent, warning people to stay safe. However, some people reported not receiving the alert.

An amber warning is active along a larger area of the UK, from southern Scotland to Cornwall and Northern Ireland, running until 9 p.m. on Saturday. Dangerous flying debris and large waves are possible, which could cause damage to buildings and power lines.

Dublin Airport has diverted some flights, and many British Airways flights have also been canceled due to the storm. Storm Darragh is expected to bring heavy rain, with over 120 flood alerts in place. An amber rain warning for Wales is in effect from 3 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.

The Met Office warns that heavy rain could cause problems for transport, and it may lead to 20-30mm of rain falling in just a few hours, with totals of 80-90mm expected. National Rail cautions that the storm could affect trains across the entire network, so travelers should check their journeys beforehand.

Chiltern Railways advises customers to travel only if necessary, as they expect significant disruptions and will only operate one train per hour. Customers with tickets for Saturday can use them on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday instead.

This article aims to keep you informed about the impact of Storm Darragh and how to stay safe.

US President-elect Donald Trump recently showed his support for Pete Hegseth, who he wants to be the next Secretary of Defense. Hegseth’s confirmation is uncertain because of serious accusations against him, including claims of drinking too much, sexual assault, and negative comments about women in combat roles.

Hegseth, a former Fox News host and Army National Guard major, spent the week talking to senators to save his nomination. Trump posted on social media, saying, “Pete Hegseth is doing very well. He will be a fantastic, high energy, Secretary of Defense. Pete is a WINNER, and nothing can change that!”

This situation is more than just about picking the right person for the Pentagon; it reflects a bigger fight within the Republican Party about what it means to have a strong, traditional military and to move away from what they call “woke-ism.” Many of Trump’s friends and the Heritage Foundation have pledged money to support Hegseth during this tough time.

Vice President-elect JD Vance assured that they are not giving up on Hegseth’s nomination while on a tour in North Carolina. The whole situation is also a test of Trump’s influence and how much support he has from other Republican senators, who are worried about some of his choices.

Despite Hegseth’s public denials of misconduct and promises not to drink while in office, his past statements about women serving in combat have raised a lot of questions. Just recently, he stated that women “straight up” should not be in combat.

Trump’s team is pleased to see Hegseth fighting for his spot, and they still believe he may be confirmed. However, they are also thinking about other potential candidates, like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, if Hegseth does not make it.

There are also troubling reports about Hegseth’s history, such as an accusation of sexual assault that he denies. Other claims suggest he had issues at work parties involving alcohol, supported by a recent whistleblower report, and even had problems with managing money while running veterans’ groups.

Furthermore, an email from Hegseth’s mother accused him of mistreating women, claiming he got his current wife pregnant while he was still married to his first wife. However, his mother defended him on “Fox & Friends” this week.
