US Fighter Jets Scrambled After Civilian Aircraft Violates No-Fly Zone Over Trump's Golf Club
Last Updated: US fighter jets were scrambled after a civilian aircraft breached the no-fly zone above Donald Trump's golf club in New Jersey. US fighter jets were scrambled to intercept a civilian airplane after it entered the restricted airspace over President Donald Trump's golf club in New Jersey, according to a local media report. The incident took place at around 12.50 pm (local time), when the pilot flew into a temporary flight restriction (TFR) zone over Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, a statement from the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) said, Fox News reported. The civilian aircraft was escorted out of the area by military jets after using flares to draw the pilot's attention. This was the second such interception of the day, NORAD said, adding that another aircraft had entered the restriction zone. There were five unauthorised incursions over the weekend, Fox News reported. In the second incident, NORAD said that flares were used, which people on the ground might have seen. NORAD explained that flares are used very carefully to keep both the intercepted aircraft and people on the ground safe. The flares burn out quickly and completely, so they don't pose any danger to people below. The White House has not issued any statement on the incident yet. Such instances have been reported in the past as well. In July, NORAD stopped five planes in a day over Bedminster. A similar incident was also reported near Mar-a-Lago in Florida in March. NORAD has often emphasized how important it is for flight safety in North America that pilots avoid entering restricted airspace. 'All pilots must familiarise themselves with updates to restricted airspace, including reviewing new and existing FAA NOTAMs that impact their flight plans and activities. Adhering to FAA restricted airspace protocols is mandatory, regardless of geographical region, airframe, or aircrew," NORAD said. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Aug 04, 2025 08:34 IST Meta Signals Shift On Open-Source AI As China Accelerates Meta Platforms, known for its open-source Llama AI models, has indicated it will be more 'careful' with its open-source strategy, a move that contrasts with China's increasing embrace of open-source AI development, according to a report in the South China Morning Post. This shift by the US tech giant occurs as China actively fosters its own open-source AI ecosystem, which computer scientist Andrew Ng suggests could be a path for the country to 'surpass the US in AI'. The differing strategies could lead to a fragmentation of the global AI landscape, with US firms potentially focusing on safety and control while China uses open-source for rapid innovation and to reduce reliance on foreign technology.

The snail is critically threatened by an extensive illegal international trade, driven by high demand for its uniquely beautiful shells by collectors and for jewelry. Despite being listed on CITES Appendix II since 2017 to regulate trade, a persistent black market continues to thrive on online e-commerce platforms, prompting ongoing seizures by global customs agencies. The scientific collaboration focuses on advanced genetic sequencing to guide habitat preservation in eastern Cuba. The project's success carries significant implications, not only for Cuban biodiversity but also for international wildlife law enforcement. Furthermore, conservation efforts aim to create alternative economic opportunities, such as eco-tourism, for local Cuban communities to counteract the economic drivers of poaching.

‘Racist sleazebag': Trump slams Charlamagne Tha God—what did the radio host say about Epstein files to trigger him?
US President Donald Trump slammed 'racist' Charlamagne Tha God who spoke on his presidency, pointing out that tax-and-spending law hurts many as it puts 'people in a worse financial situation than they were previously in' and stating Epstein files case is going to be a way for 'traditional conservatives' to take Republican party back from Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. His remarks came during Fox News show 'My View with Lara Trump", hosted by the president's daughter-in-law who previously served as co-chair of the Republican National Committee. 'I wouldn't give it a good rating simply because the least of us are still being impacted the worst," he stated about Trump's second tenure as president. He mentioned he will gain from tax breaks sanctioned in Trump's tax-and-spending law. However, he added, 'There's going to be so many people that's hurt by that bill.' Anything that takes away Medicaid from people and will put people in a worse financial situation than they were previously in, I'm not for.' Charlamagne suggested that the Republican Party will ultimately be reclaimed by 'traditional conservatives', distancing itself from Trump's MAGA movement. He cited the controversy surrounding Trump's refusal to release documents related to convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein as an example of the internal pushback gaining momentum. 'I think there's a political coup going on right now in the Republican Party that people aren't paying attention to. I think this Epstein thing is going to be a way for traditional conservatives to take their party back. I really do. I think that they know this is the issue that has gotten the base riled up, the MAGA base isn't letting this issue go and for the first time they can probably take their party back and not piss off the MAGA base. I think they're going to do that," he further said. Trump took to X and said Lenard McKelvey (real name of Charlamagne) 'knows nothing about me or what I have done'. While calling him a 'dope' for allegedly voting Democratic's Kamala Harris, he called him 'racist sleazebag' and hit out at his use of God in his professional nickname. 'Can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I used that nickname?' Following the Justice Department's announcement that it will not release any further documents related to the sex trafficking investigation, the Epstein case has come to limelight in recent weeks. The decision sparked outrage among online sleuths, conspiracy theorists, and segments of Trump's base, many of whom were expecting evidence of a government cover-up. Although officials maintain that Epstein died by suicide in his New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial, the case continues to fuel widespread speculation and conspiracy theories due to his connections with high-profile figures, including Trump and several other billionaires. He 'gave President Biden the same hell' when he didn't find the Democrat suitable for doing a good work, 'The Breakfast Club' show co-host informed Lara Trump that his disagreements with the Republican president was not new.
