Alaska Airlines grounds all flights after a tech outage
Alaska Airlines grounded all its flights due to an undisclosed technical error affecting its entire system, the carrier announced early Monday. 'We are currently experiencing an IT outage that's impacting our operations. We requested a temporary, system-wide ground stop until the issue is resolved,' the Seattle-based company said in a social media post. It advised customers to check the status of their flights before heading to an airport. The Federal Aviation Administration website indicated a ground stop for Alaska Airlines at all airports beginning shortly before 3 a.m. Monday due to an airline request. A second post on the FAA site indicated a ground stop for all Alaska mainline and Horizon aircraft, referring to an Alaska Airlines subsidiary. The National Transportation Board last month credited the crew of Alaska Airlines flight 1282 with the survival of passengers when a door plug panel flew off the plane shortly after takeoff on Jan. 5, 2024, leaving a hole that sucked objects out of the cabin. In September, Alaska Airlines said it grounded its flights in Seattle briefly due to 'significant disruptions' from an unspecified technology problem that was resolved within hours.

EU's von der Leyen says new budget fit for 'new era'
BRUSSELS, July 16 (Reuters) - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared on Wednesday that her proposed new 2 trillion euro budget for the European Union from 2028-2034 had been designed for a new era". She added that the plan proposes a shift in how the EU organises key funds, while linking funding closely to the rule of law and keeping member state contributions steady. The proposal aims to triple the budget for migration and border management and to double the Horizon research fund, while 35% of the budget would be spent on climate and biodiversity. An agreement on the new EU budget requires backing from all 27 member countries and sign-off from the European Parliament. ($1 = 0.8645 euros)

Post Office campaigner Sir Alan Bates to be honoured by University of Exeter
Sir Alan Bates, who campaigned to expose the Post Office Horizon scandal, is among those being awarded an honorary degree from the University of Exeter. Hundreds of sub-postmasters were pursued for apparent financial shortfalls which were actually caused by faults in the Horizon accounting software. A damning report into the scandal has concluded at least 13 people may have taken their own lives after being accused of wrongdoing. His story was featured in the ITV drama 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office'. Sir Alan, who previously lived and worked in Exeter, said he feels very honoured. 'I am well aware of the important work the University of Exeter Law School has undertaken to investigate the impact on the mental health of victims and the families of sub-postmasters involved with the Post Office Horizon scandal," he added. Former Exeter MP Sir Ben Bradshaw and Professor Penny Endersby, Chief Executive of the Met Office will also be recognised for their work. Prof Enderby said: 'Exeter has a fine reputation as one of the best places in the UK to research and study all aspects of climate, environment and sustainability, with increasingly global standing.' Also receiving honorary degrees are Andrew Ng, the founder of DeepLearning AI and Christopher Lockyear, Secretary General of Médecins Sans Frontières. Other political recipients include former leader of the Green Party Caroline Lucas, Baroness Warsi and Sir Sajid Javid.
