2 Student Pilots Killed in 'Devastating' Midair Crash While Practicing Takeoffs and Landings
Two student pilots were killed in a midair plane crash in Canada on Tuesday, July 8 The collision occurred as the student pilots were attending Harv's Air pilot training school The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating the cause of the crashTwo student pilots have been killed in a midair collision involving their single-engine planes in Canada. The crash occurred at around 8:45 a.m. local time on Tuesday, July 8, according to a press release from the Steinbach Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The pilots were training at Harv's Air pilot training school south of Steinbeck in the Canadian province of Manitoba, the Associated Press and regional outlets CTV New and CityNews Montreal reported. Adam Penner, the owner of Harv's Air, said that the student pilots were 'practicing their takeoffs and landings' when their Cessna aircrafts collided roughly 1,300 ft. from the runway in a field, according to the outlets. 'There was some sort of communication issue where they weren't seeing each other,' Penner told CityNews Montreal. 'They were on approach, and they collided somewhere on the approach.' The pilots were found deceased at the scene, the RCMP confirmed in their press release. At the time of the collision, they were flying a four-seater Cessna 172 airplane and a two-seater Cessna 152 plane, CBC News reported. The police, fire department and emergency medical services responded to the scene, per CityNews Montreal. In a press conference, a RCMP spokesperson declined to identify the victims, saying, 'I don't have that information," according to the AP. One of the students killed was later identified as 20-year-old Savanna May Royes, who was training to be a pilot like her father, the family confirmed to CBC News. "Savanna's faith and laughter will forever touch everyone who was lucky enough to have known her, during her short life," they said. Footage from the scene showed a trail of smoke rising in the air from the crash in a field on a private property, per CTV News. 'It's devastating, it's really … very personal,' an emotional Penner told the outlet. 'This is our everyday kind of routine … [it's] very tough. It's just kind of a small family here. The students are often from overseas, so they're kind of a close-knit group, the instructors and staff too.' The family-run flying school hadn't had a fatal incident before in its 50-year history, CTV News reported. RCMP hasn't shared details of the cause of crash at this time. During their press conference, a spokesperson said it was "too early" to rule out criminal charges, adding, 'This is still evolving." 'The members are still on scene, so the investigation is ongoing," they explained.

We heard a bang … and saw the smoke coming up right away.' In a statement, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada confirmed that it was investigating the incident.

TD Bank names Andrew Jensen to manage financial crime risk in Canada
By Nivedita Balu TORONTO (Reuters) -TD Bank has appointed Andrew Jensen as the head of financial crime risk management in Canada, replacing interim head Stephen Joyce, according to a memo sent to staff by global anti-money laundering chief Jacqueline Sanjuas on Wednesday. The change is one of many at the Canadian lender as it undergoes a U.S. government-ordered anti-money laundering remediation program following a historic $3 billion penalty by U.S. regulators for lapses in its risk systems. Jensen joined TD in 2024 as the global head of sanctions as a part of the bank's move to hire experts with regulatory experience. He will retain global oversight of sanctions and report to Sanjuas, the memo said. Jensen spent over seven years at the U.S. Department of Treasury and also held senior roles at Citi and Scotiabank on global sanctions teams. The change is effective July 14, the memo said. A TD Bank spokesperson confirmed the move and the content of the memo.

Ex-NBA player Ben McLemore sentenced to over 8 years in prison for rape
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon judge on Wednesday sentenced former NBA player Ben McLemore to over eight years in prison, a week after a jury found him guilty of raping a woman at a 2021 party at the home of a then-teammate. The ex-Portland Trail Blazer was sentenced to 100 months in prison by Clackamas County Circuit Court Judge Michael Wetzel, Portland TV station KGW reported. The jury last week found the 32-year-old guilty of rape, unlawful sexual penetration and one count of sexual abuse. He was found not guilty on another count of sexual abuse. The charges involved a 21-year-old woman and stemmed from a party at a home owned by then-teammate Robert Covington in the Portland suburb of Lake Oswego. During the trial, Clackamas County prosecutors described the sexual encounter as rape. The defense argued it was consensual sex. The woman testified that she was incapacitated due to alcohol, and was unable to consent, KGW reported. McLemore said he had also been drinking but testified that it was consensual. McLemore, who played college at Kansas, was the seventh pick in the 2013 NBA draft by the Sacramento Kings. He also played for Memphis, Houston and the Los Angeles Lakers before his last NBA season with Portland in 2021-2022. Since then, he has played professionally overseas in Europe, China and Turkey.
