A passenger plane en route to the U.S. had to turn around and return to its starting point. The United Airlines Boeing 757-224 left Dublin, Ireland, bound for Newark, New Jersey, on Sunday and reached an altitude of 31,000 feet before it declared an emergency. Flight UA316 was approaching the Irish border when it turned around. Irish outlet The Journal reports that the crew told air traffic control they were experiencing a “very strong fuel odor that we are experiencing right now.” The flight crew said they did not think they were leaking fuel before telling air traffic control they would need a long runway because they had to make an overweight landing. They also asked support on the ground for “medical personnel,” because there had been “some reports of strong headaches and burning sensation in the nasal passages.” They added that they had “five flight attendants requesting medical attention and an unknown number of passengers needing it.”

The founders and co-owners of luxury women’s brand Bryn Walker have been found dead outside their Los Angeles home. The bodies of Michelle Min, 63, and her husband Bryan Walker, 61, were found in Oakland Hills on Friday morning, with a firearm recovered at the scene. Oakland police have not ruled out a murder-suicide, but have not determined who may have pulled the trigger. Paul Min, 58, the brother of Michelle, believes that the husband shot and killed his wife before turning the gun on himself. Paul told the Los Angeles Times he is angry at Bryan, while still in disbelief at the man he says he loved “like a brother.” CBS obtained video surveillance footage in which a gunshot is heard, followed by a man crying and screaming, and a second shot. Paul and Michelle said they discussed institutionalizing Bryan over fears about his mental health. “I have found a note that lists a couple of facilities,” said Min. “I speculate he saw that note or somehow figured out she was going to institutionalize him, but I have no idea.” Michelle and Bryan Walker had been married for more than 30 years.

Daniil Medvedev was disqualified from his China Open semifinal against Novak Djokovic after angrily swiping a ball into the crowd and striking a spectator in the eye. The world No. 5 was trailing 7-5, 5-3 after losing a point when he struck a ball that rebounded off the back wall. His backhand sent it into the front row, where it hit a spectator in the face. The fan doubled over, clutching his eye, before being helped out of the arena. “I was shocked, to be honest. I hope that person is not badly injured,” Djokovic said. He added that he sympathized with Medvedev, 30, having himself been disqualified from the 2020 U.S. Open after accidentally hitting a line judge with a ball. “I also feel sorry for Daniil. I know exactly how he feels to be disqualified in a big match. I am sure that Daniil did not want to do this intentionally.” The disqualification means Medvedev will lose the ranking points and prize money earned during his Beijing run. The incident adds to a history of emotional outbursts, including a racquet-smashing episode and a confrontation with a photographer at last year’s U.S. Open.

Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, whose political legacy unraveled in a hush-money scandal involving his sexual abuse of teenage boys, has died at the age of 84, officials said Monday. Hastert died from natural causes Saturday at his home in Chicago, the Kendall County Coroner told the Associated Press. The longest-serving Republican House speaker in history, he was the highest-ranking elected U.S. official to face jail time. He was sentenced to 15 months in prison on charges tied to his efforts to conceal hush-money payments made to cover up his sexual abuse of teenage boys while working as a high school wrestling coach. Hastert represented Northern Illinois in Congress from 1987 to 2007. During his time as Speaker, he worked closely with President George W. Bush on his policy agenda. Bush said he was “indebted to Denny for his candid advice and strong support.” Zachary Farden, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, said after Hastert pleaded guilty in 2015 to violating banking laws, “Mr. Hastert’s legend and legacy are gone, and in its place are a broken, humiliated man. That is how it should be.”

You’re moving more, lifting heavier, and eating better, yet the scale isn’t budging. You could invest in a professional DEXA scan, which analyzes not only your weight but also your lean muscle mass, BMI, and other factors like water retention that may be keeping the scale stagnant. Unfortunately, a DEXA scan can cost up to $300 for one session. Hume Body Pod, on the other hand, is the next best thing—and you can use it in your own bathroom.

It’s not just a smart scale. The Hume Body Pod is a full-body scanner that delivers over 45 metrics like muscle mass, body fat, hydration levels, and metabolic age in under 90 seconds. Standard smart scales just measure your lower body, but the Hume Body Pod directly scans your entire body using clinical-grade technology to deliver readings with 98 percent accuracy compared to a DEXA scan, according to Hume Health.

The FBI arrested a California woman on Sunday on suspicion of secretly working as a spy for China to keep tabs on the Taiwanese president’s son and family. Wanying “Heather” Zhang, 34, of Irvine, allegedly traveled with a companion to Seattle in September 2025 to photograph the family’s home, according to the FBI. A neighbor’s security footage showed them taking photos with their phones in a rented black SUV. While the criminal complaint identifies the target only as a relative of a Taiwanese official, an FBI social media post identified the family as that of President Lai Ching-te’s son. Beijing has repeatedly branded Lai a separatist for championing Taiwan’s sovereignty and claims the self-governing island as its territory, despite never having ruled it. Zhang is scheduled to appear in federal court in Los Angeles on Monday.

A 16-year-old hiker who used AI to map out a route up Crown Mountain in Vancouver was left stranded on a cliff on Saturday before North Shore Rescue volunteers hoisted him to safety. The teen set out from Grouse Mountain at around 8 a.m., following an AI-generated route that was supposed to climb the mountain through a gully. Instead, the route led him onto steep, technical rock-climbing terrain, leaving him trapped at the base of a cliff. Rescuers were alerted just before 3:30 p.m., locating the teen by phone before sending two technicians down by helicopter. They lifted him into the aircraft and flew him to the team’s base near Cleveland Dam. The rescue ended shortly before 6:30 p.m. “The boy was very scared. He definitely feared for his life,” search manager Paul Markey told North Shore News. Markey urged hikers not to blindly trust AI for navigation, saying the technology can generate routes that do not reflect real-world terrain. “It put him into a situation which was beyond his abilities, so things could have gone sideways pretty quickly,” he said.

A painting bought for $30 has sold for an eye-watering $1.35 million at auction. Confirmed as Gertrude Abercrombie’s “Alderman Merriam’s Shells,” it was found in a Michigan home in July, auction house Freeman’s said. The 8-by-11-inch oil painting had not been seen in public for 75 years, but was finally taken to market this month. Painted in 1951, it was exhibited around half a dozen times in the two years after and put up for sale for around $50 and $150, CNN reports, but never sold. It is understood that Abercrombie gave it to a Michigan doctor in Kalamazoo in exchange for medical services. The doctor held onto the painting, which remained in their estate until it was sold over the summer. The person who bought the painting for $30 remains anonymous, but Freeman’s described them as “a longtime hunter of record albums and mid-century furniture.” They added that the painting had been found “tucked in a dark corner of a hallway leading to the garage—overlooked by every other buyer that day.”

A 15-year-old protester has had his hand blown off. Protests have been raging across France against the country’s school system in far-reaching mass action that has seen 500 high schools closed or partially closed on Monday. The teen was initially said to have lost their hand after allegedly picking up a police stun grenade, according to local French outlet ⁠La Voix du Nord. However, uncertainty remains about how the boy sustained the injury. The same outlet cited one girl who said, “He didn’t pick it up. I was there, I saw it. He didn’t pick it up, he didn’t catch it.” It happened in the northern town of Lens, local prefect François-Xavier Lauch said, and Reuters reported that an investigation has since been launched. “The student’s life is not in danger,” he said, but did describe it as a “very serious incident.” France’s Education Minister Édouard Geffray confirmed the full or partial closures on Sunday, and said that 24 schools had been “burned or ransacked” since the unrest started. He added that 190 students had been injured. The riots involve thousands of students and began in Paris, then spread to cities including Montpellier, Nantes and Marseille, the BBC reports. Protesters claim school buildings are run-down, classrooms are overfilled, and there aren’t enough teachers. French Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin said that of the country’s 3,7000 high schools, “one way or another” 735 schools had been affected.

Whether CBD or THC, most cannabis products (including gummies) are usually associated with stimulating your appetite (aka giving you “the munchies”) and promoting relaxation—and, with some strains, even sleep. If you’ve ever wanted the mood-boosting benefits of cannabis sans the snacking and napping, THCV, an under-the-radar cannabinoid known for its potentially energizing effects, may be just what you’re looking for.

According to TribeTokes, a women-owned cannabis brand, THCV may not only help support focus, energy, and alertness but could also have the opposite effect on appetite as traditional THC. While THC activates receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system associated with hunger, THCV interacts with these receptors differently and is being studied for its possible appetite-regulating effects. In other words, it may offer a gentle mood and energy lift without the usual snack attacks.

TribeTokes’ THCV-powered Fit & Focused gummies contain zero traditional THC, so you can even take one pre-workout for a subtle energy boost instead of reaching for a sugary energy drink or pricey latte. Each strawberry-flavored gummy is packed with 15 milligrams of THCV, 20 milligrams of CBG (a cannabinoid associated with focus and a balanced mood), and 15 milligrams of CBD to round out the formula. Together, this cannabinoid trifecta supports steady energy, focus, and mood without leaving you feeling jittery, “out of it,” or ready to raid the snack drawer.

Plus, because they’re caffeine-free, you don’t have to worry about the jitters or inevitable crash that can come with another cup of coffee or a standard energy supplement. Whether you take one before a workout or when you need to power through an afternoon slump, the Fit & Focused THCV Gummies are basically the antithesis of your stereotypical cannabis gummy.

Comedian Reggie McFadden, best known for his work on In Living Color, has died at 57. His sister, best-selling novelist Bernice McFadden, confirmed his death to The Hollywood Reporter. She said the U.S. State Department had notified her family that McFadden had died in Tanzania, where he had been living for almost two decades. She added that the family does not know when he died or what the cause of death was. “Rest in peace, fellow comedian, Reggie McFadden,” comic Tony Luewellyn wrote on Facebook. “Another fallen veteran comedy brother!” McFadden grew up in Brooklyn and got his break in 1991 when he appeared on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam. He joined In Living Color in 1992, and also made appearances on Hanging With Mr. Cooper, Moesha, Martin, Coach, and Curb Your Enthusiasm, where he played Officer Burt, Larry David’s neighbor. McFadden also had a role in Adam Sandler’s film Little Nicky. His Facebook page said McFadden owned a Tanzania-based gold mining company and an entertainment production company called Olduvai Records. He released an album called ENJOY, Vol. 1, on the label in May last year. He is survived by his sons Jaron and Myles, sisters Bernice and Misty, brother Kris, and mother Vivian.

A safari plane has been forced to make an emergency landing after hitting a zebra during takeoff. The Embraer EMB-120, operated by Sindbard Air, reportedly hit the wild animal while departing from a runway at Seronera in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. It later suffered a landing gear malfunction on approach to Kilimanjaro International Airport, about 270 miles east of the park, prompting the pilot to perform a belly-slide landing along the tarmac between 11 a.m. and noon on Sunday. The plane was originally headed for the island of Zanzibar but diverted after the crew discovered the gear issue. No injuries were reported, and all 26 passengers and four crew members are understood to have disembarked safely. Airport officials closed Kilimanjaro International Airport while the plane was removed from the runway.
