Watch: Bears escape park enclosure, eat a week's supply of honey
June 25 (UPI) -- A pair of European brown bears escaped from their enclosure at a British wildlife park and made their way to a food storage area, where they feasted on snacks including a week's worth of honey.
Wildwood Devon confirmed on social media that 5-year-old bears Mish and Lucy escaped from their enclosure due to "an operational error" that allowed the bruins to access a behind-the-scenes area used for food storage.
The park was closed as part of standard protocols and police were contacted, but zookeepers were able to "encourage both bears back into their enclosure without the need for any intervention," the post said.
The park said the bears "posed no threat to the public at any point, enjoyed a selection of snacks -- including a week's worth of honey -- before being safely returned to their enclosure by the expert keeper team within the hour."
Officials said both bears took long, food-induced naps upon returning to their habitat.

UK authorities seize cocaine worth more than $130 million from a ship at London port
LONDON (AP) — British authorities seized 2.4 metric tons of cocaine in a ship arriving in England from Panama, authorities said Saturday, calling it one of the U.K.'s biggest drug busts in years. The drugs, valued at 96 million pounds ($132 million), were found under containers on a vessel at London Gateway port, east of the British capital. The shipment was discovered after what officials said was an intelligence-led operation. Britain's interior ministry, the Home Office, said it was the sixth-largest cocaine seizure on record. U.K. Border Force Maritime director Charlie Eastaugh said the seizure was 'just one example of how dedicated Border Force maritime officers remain one step ahead of the criminal gangs who threaten our security. 'Our message to these criminals is clear — more than ever before, we are using intelligence and international law enforcement co-operation to disrupt and dismantle your operations.' Britain is one of Europe's biggest markets for cocaine, according to the National Crime Agency. The U.K. government says cocaine-related deaths in England and Wales rose by 31% between 2022 and 2023.

Bonnie Blue Says Andrew Tate and Her 'Have a Lot in Common'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. British sex worker Bonnie Blue told Newsweek that she and manosphere influencer Andrew Tate have a "lot in common," shortly after the two appeared on the Disruptors podcast together for a highly publicized and controversial interview. Newsweek reached out to a representative for Tate for comment on this article via email. The Context Tate is a 38-year-old British American influencer and former kickboxer. He is a self-described misogynist, and is charged with rape, human trafficking and forming an organized crime group to sexually exploit women in Romania. In the U.K., he faces additional charges involving multiple women which include rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for financial gain. Tate's brother Tristan faces similar charges. They deny all allegations against them. Photo-illustration by Newsweek/Getty/Canva/Instagram Blue is 26-year-old British sex worker who has developed a high profile since launching her adult film career in 2023, courting scandal and controversy before reaching the height of virality in January of 2025 after sleeping with 1,057 men in 12 hours. What To Know In a video interview with Newsweek, Blue spoke about Tate and their appearance on the Disruptors podcast. The episode, titled "Confronting Andrew Tate & Bonnie Blue: World Exclusive: Have Men Lost Their Power & Has Feminism Ruined Society," aired on Friday June 20, and was hosted by Rob Moore. The Merriam Webster dictionary definition of feminism reads: "Belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes expressed especially through organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests." In it, Tate, who has described himself as "absolutely a misogynist," as per the BBC, and stated his view that women shouldn't be able to vote on social media multiple times, said that Blue is the "End result of feminism." Asked what drew her to work with Tate, Blue told Newsweek "We have a lot in common." She continued, "I don't just mean some of our beliefs and thoughts, but in terms of we're both very hated by the public, the media paint us in the worst light possible." "Online, I'm this villain. Everyone hates me, they think I'm a predator, they think I'm disgusting," Blue said. "I'm not what the media make out," Blue told Newsweek. Addressing the allegations faced by Tate, Blue said "Yes, he has allegations against him." "But I also get told all the time I'm a predator, I'm a groomer. And there's no facts behind that. There's no evidence of that," she said, adding "The papers and the media still paint me in that light." Blue has faced accusations of predatory behavior, due to her having sex with what she has described as 'barely legal,' 18- and 19-year-olds, who she would meet at welcome weeks on college campuses in the U.K. and Australia. What People Are Saying Bonnie Blue told Newsweek: "What one person says about you online is very different to what is the truth." What's Next The brothers' trial in Britain has been fixed to start on June 22, 2026. The Tate brothers' Romanian case has been delayed after the court ordered prosecutors to reconsider certain aspects of it. The brothers may also be under federal criminal investigation in the United States, according to OCCRP.

North American airlines targeted by cyberattacks
At least two North American airlines have been victims of criminal hackers recently as cybersecurity companies warn that a notorious cybercriminal group has been targeting the aviation industry. Westjet and Hawaii Airlines both said in June statements that they are responding to cyberattacks. American Airlines also experienced a tech issue on Friday, though it's unclear if it was related or caused in any way by hackers. "A technology issue is affecting connectivity for some of our systems and we are working with our partners to fully resolve the issue," an American Airlines spokesperson said in a statement. "Though we are experiencing delays as a result, we have not canceled any flights at this time." Cybersecurity companies that work directly with companies hit by hackers usually refrain from talking about specific victims, citing nondisclosure agreements. But both Google and Palo Alto Networks said Friday that they have observed a particularly effective cybercriminal group, nicknamed Scattered Spider by the cybersecurity industry, that tries to hack companies involved in aviation. Scattered Spider is a loosely affiliated group of young, mostly English-speaking men who are extremely adept at sweet-talking their way into sensitive computer access at large companies. From there, they often hand that access to outside cybercriminals who install ransomware — malicious software that locks up computers, rendering them inoperable — and then demand an extortion payment. The group has been tied to attacks on Las Vegas casinos in 2023 and British department stores earlier this year. After Google warned that Scattered Spider was targeting American retailers, a cyberattack hobbled a top Whole Foods supplier, leading to empty shelves across the country. Charles Carmakal, the chief technology officer of Mandiant, Google's cloud security company, said in an emailed statement that it was tracking "multiple incidents in the airline and transportation sector" where Scattered Spider had broken in. "We are still working on attribution and analysis, but given the habit of this actor to focus on a single sector we suggest that the industry take steps immediately to harden systems," he said. Details on the effects of the attacks on airlines are still sparse. A WestJet spokesperson told NBC News in an email that the company first noticed it had been hacked on June 13 and has made "significant progress" to resolve it. Hawaiian Airlines said in a Friday filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it discovered on Monday that it had been hacked and that "Flights are currently operating safely and as scheduled." Neither company responded to questions about whether any flights had been canceled or delayed because of the attacks.
