It wasn't hackers: Alaska Airlines reveals IT outage was caused by a critical piece of hardware failing
Alaska Airlines has revealed that its "significant" IT outage on Sunday night was not caused by hackers, but by hardware at one of its data centers failing. As a result of the system paralysis, the carrier requested a system-wide ground stop for its aircraft and that of its subsidiary, Horizon Air, on Sunday evening, with services resuming about three hours later. The airline said in a statement issued to The Independen t: "A critical piece of multi-redundant hardware at one of our data centers, manufactured by a third-party, experienced an unexpected failure. "When that happened, it impacted several of our key systems that enable us to run various operations, necessitating the implementation of a ground stop to keep aircraft in position." It continued: "The IT outage is not related to any other current events, and it's not connected to the recent cybersecurity incident at Hawaiian Airlines. "We are currently working with our vendor to replace the hardware equipment at the data center." The airline revealed that since Sunday evening, it had cancelled more than 150 flights, including 64 on Monday. It added: "We're working to get our operations back on track today at Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air. [But] additional flight disruptions are likely as we reposition aircraft and crews throughout our network. "We appreciate the patience of our guests whose travel plans have been disrupted. We're working to get them to their destinations as quickly as we can. Before heading to the airport, we encourage flyers to check their flight status." In the aftermath of the disruption, passengers took to social media to complain about delays and a lack of customer service. X user Jack Gillin wrote: "Why haven't you answered my customer care calls? It's been more than four hours since I made my inquiry." Another complained: "Been on the phone on hold with your customer services for almost three hours and no one has picked up." Another revealed that after waiting for a flight for five hours, it was cancelled, with the airline unable to help with booking local accommodation. Passengers who experienced a delay are entitled to a rebooking on the same airline or a partner carrier at no additional cost. If the delay is longer than three hours, they are entitled to a meal or meal voucher and complimentary hotel stays for overnight delays.

The Latest: Harvard heads to court in $2.6B lawsuit against Trump administration
Harvard University is in federal court Monday to make the case that President Donald Trump's administration illegally cut $2.6 billion from the storied college. It's a pivotal moment in the school's battle against the federal government. If U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs decides in the university's favor, the ruling would reverse a series of funding freezes that later became outright cuts as the administration escalated its fight with the nation's oldest and wealthiest university. Such a ruling, if it stands, would revive Harvard's sprawling scientific and medical research operation and hundreds of projects. Harvard's lawsuit accuses the administration of waging a retaliation campaign against the university after it rejected a series of demands in an April 11 letter from a federal antisemitism task force. Here's the latest: However, even with the nation's largest endowment at $53 billion, the university has warned it can't absorb the full cost of the federal cuts. Federal agencies say grants can be scrapped if they no longer align with government policies In court filings, Harvard has said the government 'fails to explain how the termination of funding for research to treat cancer, support veterans, and improve national security addresses antisemitism.' The Trump administration denies the cuts were made in retaliation, saying the grants were under review even before the April demand letter was sent. It argues the government has wide discretion to cancel contracts for policy reasons. Hearing begins in Harvard's lawsuit over funding cuts A lawyer for Harvard opened the hearing by saying the Trump administration violated the university's First Amendment rights by cutting more than $2.6 billion in federal funding. Steven Lehotsky said the government conditioned research grants on Harvard, 'ceding control' to the government over what is appropriate for students and faculty to say. US envoy doubles down on support for Syria's government and criticizes Israel's intervention A U.S. envoy doubled down on Washington's support for Syria's new government, saying Monday there is 'no Plan B' to working with it to unite the country still reeling from years of civil war and wracked by new sectarian violence. In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Tom Barrack also criticized Israel's recent intervention in Syria, calling it poorly timed and saying it complicated efforts to stabilize the region. Barrack is ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria, with a short-term mandate in Lebanon. He spoke in Beirut following more than a week of clashes in Syria's southern province of Sweida between militias of the Druze religious minority and Sunni Muslim Bedouin tribes. Tom Barrack, who is ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria and also has a short-term mandate in Lebanon, told The Associated Press that Israel's intervention in the latest round of conflict in Syria had further complicated matters. (AP Video shot by Fadi Tawil; Production by Abby Sewell) Syrian government forces intervened, ostensibly to restore order, but ended up siding with the Bedouins before withdrawing under a ceasefire agreement with Druze factions. Hundreds have been killed in the fighting, and some government fighters allegedly shot dead Druze civilians and burned and looted homes. Neighboring Israel intervened last week on behalf of the Druze, who are seen as a loyal minority within Israel and often serve in its military. Israel launched dozens of strikes on convoys of government forces in Sweida and struck the Ministry of Defense headquarters in central Damascus. Over the weekend, Barrack announced a ceasefire between Syria and Israel. Syrian government forces have redeployed in Sweida to halt renewed clashes between the Druze and Bedouins, and civilians from both sides were set to be evacuated Monday. ▶ Read more about the U.S. support for Syria's new government Trump threatens to hold up stadium deal if Washington Commanders don't switch back to Redskins Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington's NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which was considered offensive to Native Americans. Trump also said Sunday that he wants Cleveland's baseball team to revert to its former name, the Indians, saying there was a 'big clamoring for this' as well. The Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians have had their current names since the 2022 seasons, and both have said they have no plans to change them back. Trump said the Washington football team would be 'much more valuable' if it restored its old name. His latest interest in changing the name reflects his broader effort to roll back changes that followed a national debate on cultural sensitivity and racial justice. The Commanders and the District of Columbia government announced a deal earlier this year to build a new home for the football team at the site of the old RFK Stadium, the place the franchise called home for more than three decades. ▶ Read more about Trump's attempt to strongarm the NFL team

Over 5.2 million pools sold across the U.S. and Canada are under recall after reports of nine deaths
More than 5.2 million aboveground swimming pools sold across the U.S. and Canada over the last two decades are being recalled after nine drowning deaths were reported. The recall covers a range of Bestway, Intex Recreation and Polygroup pools that were sold by major retailers as far back as 2002. According to Monday notices published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, these pools have compression straps running along the outside of the product — which 'may create a foothold' for small children and allow them to access the water unattended. That can pose a serious drowning risk, the safety regulatory warn. To date, the CPSC believes nine children across the U.S. have drowned after gaining access to these now-recalled pools in this way. Those deaths occurred between 2007 and 2022, involving children between the ages of 22 months and 3 years old. No additional fatalities have been reported in Canada. Consumers in possession of these pools are urged to immediately contact Bestway, Intex and/or Polygroup to receive a free repair kit — which will consist of a rope to replace the compression strap. Owners of these pools should otherwise ensure that small children cannot access the pool without supervision, regulators note — and could alternatively drain the pool until the repair is made. All of the pools being recalled are 48 inches or taller — and can be identified by brand and model names listed on both the CPSC and Health Canada's recall notices. Sales of the pools ranged by model and location, but date as far back to 2002 and as recently as 2025. About 5 million of these now-recalled pools were sold across the U.S. — including both online and in-stores at major retailers like Walmart, Target, Lowe's, Costco and Amazon. Another 266,000 were sold in Canada.
