FAA issues nationwide ground stop due to 'extraordinary circumstances'
The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a nationwide ground stop for all flights in the United States until further notice, due to extraordinary circumstances and for reasons of safety. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wrote in a Friday post on X , The @FAAnews issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a communication issue impacting all Air Route Traffic Control Centers. FAA technicians are investigating the issue. We will provide immediate updates as we have them. There are over 7,800 flights delayed within, into or out of the U.S. as of 4:30 p.m. ET, according to FlightAware.com , a live flight tracker website. There are also nearly 340 flights canceled within, into or out of the U.S. A Yahoo reporter who is currently on a plane on the tarmac waiting to depart on a United Airlines flight from Los Angeles International Airport says her pilot said, In a nationwide ground stop, FAA just released an advisory, and we are told that at this time the ground stop will last until 11 p.m. Eastern time. The pilot added, What happened was a communications outage that started in Kansas City Center, which is responsible for the airspace above the middle of America, and it spread nationwide. Nationwide ground stops are pretty rare. The last time such an event occurred was in January 2023, when a pilot notification system went down.

David Tennant speaks up on his 'surreal' experience in Doctor Who-themed restaurant
Digital Desk | Los Angeles, Nov 14 (IANS) Actor David Tennant has shared that he was shocked when he discovered a Doctor Who-themed restaurant in New York. The 55-year-old actor played both the 10th and 14th incarnations of the Doctor in the sci-fi series and revealed that he had a surreal experience in the eatery after initially being hesitant to visit. The actor appeared on the latest episode of the chat show The Graham Norton Show, and said, I was in a small town in Upstate New York and was surprised to find a Doctor Who-themed restaurant on the main street. It was very unexpected and I avoided it for a while but then I thought I should. It was very unlikely, a bit weird and a little surreal, but delightful. Meanwhile, David has reprised his role of Lord Tony Baddingham for the concluding episodes in season 2 of the OTT show Rivals. The show is based on the late Dame Jilly Cooper's Rutshire Chronicles novels, and describes his dastardly alter ego as a creature of the 1980s. Talking about his character, the actor said, He is misunderstood! He is a creature of the 80s, slightly monstrous, power hungry, and pretty ruthless. The characters are so beautifully drawn from Jilly Cooper's novels and are juicy and great fun. He further mentioned, It is a great cast to be in amongst, and everyone has a vivid character to play, and they all do it so well. I adore them. He also spoke of his pride in getting to know Jilly, who sadly passed away last year at the age of 88, during her glorious final act. She was everything you'd hoped she would be. She was glamorous and very mischievous. She was as thrilled with it as we were. I think she glorified in the fact that people had rediscovered her stories. She had a glorious final act, and I am very proud to have got to know her, she added.

Digital Desk | Lucknow, Nov 14 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed officials to ensure foolproof arrangements for the safety, convenience and cleanliness for devotees during Chhath Mahaparva, stressing that there should be no compromise on public safety and essential facilities at ghats across the state. Chairing a high-level review meeting through video conferencing on Friday, the Chief Minister instructed district administrations to complete all preparations well in advance, particularly in districts witnessing large gatherings of devotees, including Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Ballia, Azamgarh, Ghazipur, Lucknow, Ghaziabad, Basti and Kanpur Nagar. Describing Chhath as a festival rooted in faith, discipline, purity and gratitude towards nature, Chief Minister Adityanath said, Lakhs of devotees will participate in the festival with immense devotion and enthusiasm across various districts of the state. He noted that devotees would offer arghya to the setting Sun on the evening of November 15, while the four-day festival would conclude on November 16 with offerings to the rising Sun. Directing officials to inspect all major ghats, rivers, ponds and other water bodies, the Chief Minister emphasised proper cleaning, adequate lighting, accessible approach roads, clean drinking water, toilets and changing rooms for women. Giving top priority to devotees' safety, CM Adityanath ordered the installation of strong barricades and warning signboards at vulnerable locations after assessing water levels and depths. Adequate numbers of trained divers, boats and water police personnel must be deployed to prevent accidents. CCTV cameras and public address systems should also be installed for continuous surveillance and crowd management. Special attention, CM Adityanath said, must be given to women, children and senior citizens. Adequate police personnel, including women officers, should be deployed at major ghats. Police personnel should be counselled and encouraged to discharge their duties with restraint, sensitivity and a cooperative approach, the Chief Minister directed. The Chief Minister also called for district-level control rooms and effective coordination between police and administrative officials. Traffic management plans, necessary diversions and designated parking areas should be prepared in advance to prevent congestion around the Puja sites. In a major relief for people travelling home for the festival, CM Adityanath directed the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation to operate additional buses from Delhi to various districts of eastern Uttar Pradesh. He categorically instructed officials to ensure that passengers are not charged more than the prescribed fares. He also directed the Urban Development and Panchayati Raj departments to organise special cleanliness drives around ghats and ensure uninterrupted electricity supply, with alternative lighting arrangements. First-aid camps, ambulances and emergency services must remain available at major Puja sites, the Chief Minister said. Warning against negligence, CM Adityanath added, There must be no compromise on cleanliness, safety and public convenience during the festival. Senior officials were instructed to personally inspect arrangements and seek assistance from Civil Defence, NCC and NSS volunteers to ensure the smooth and safe celebration of Chhath Mahaparva.

171-run Knock Changed Women's Cricket Perception: Harmanpreet Kaur Unveils Wax Statue In Jaipur
Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Indian women's cricket star Harmanpreet Kaur on Friday joined the league of cricketing legends Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and Virat Kohli as her wax statue was unveiled at a ceremony held at the Rajasthan International Centre (RIC) in Jaipur. Organisers noted that the figure, crafted by the Historica Museum, is the world's first wax statue of a female cricketer and will be placed on permanent display at the 'Historica: Step into History' museum at Nahargarh Fort. Reflecting on her career milestones at the event, Harmanpreet said her historic 171-run knock played a pivotal role in transforming public perception around women's cricket in India. She observed that the sport has undergone a remarkable shift, with stadiums increasingly drawing packed crowds and growing numbers of women turning out to cheer for the national side. Drawing a parallel with India's 1983 men's World Cup triumph, she stated that the women's team's World Cup success had similarly reshaped the landscape of the women's game. This is just the beginning. Women's cricket will reach even greater heights in the coming years, she said. Recalling the World Cup victory at Lord's, Harmanpreet described lifting the trophy as one of the most unforgettable moments of her life, emphasising that the triumph was the culmination of the entire squad's collective dream and unity. During the ceremony, young aspiring cricketers from Jaipur welcomed the Indian skipper with a guard of honour using raised bats. Touched by the gesture, Harmanpreet interacted with the youngsters, posed for photographs, and urged them to pursue their sporting ambitions with dedication. Describing the wax figure as a deeply emotional milestone, Harmanpreet noted that seeing her statue displayed alongside cricketing icons she grew up admiring reflected years of perseverance and early career struggles. She also lauded the sculptors and museum team for the detailed measurements, photographs, and video recordings undertaken to create an accurate likeness. Highlighting the need to nurture grassroots talent, Harmanpreet pointed out that India's villages and small towns possess immense sporting potential. Having hailed from a similar background herself, she called for greater encouragement and improved sporting infrastructure for aspiring female athletes in rural areas. She added that coordinated initiatives by state cricket associations and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), alongside an almost year-round cricketing calendar, now offer emerging players a stronger platform to build professional careers.
