Body of Alaska cruise passenger found 1,700 feet below ridge line of intended hike
The body of a Norwegian Cruise Line passenger who went missing in Alaska has been recovered. Marites Buenafe, 62, vanished Tuesday after texting her family that she was going for a hike in Juneau, according to an Alaska State Troopers missing persons bulletin. She was reported missing after not returning to the Norwegian Bliss on time that afternoon. On Thursday, an Alaska Army National Guard helicopter spotted her body roughly 1,700 feet below the ridge line of the area she planned to hike, state troopers shared in an update via Juneau Police. 'Troopers and Juneau Mountain Rescue were able to recover her body with the assistance of Temsco Helicopters and the National Guard,' read the troopers' Facebook post, which thanked the agencies and volunteers involved. Disappearance timeline State troopers said Buenafe texted her family at around 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, saying she was headed to Mount Roberts Tramway and planned to hike Gold Ridge to Gastineau Peak. Security footage showed her leaving the buildings at the top of Mount Roberts Tramway at about that time. She was supposed to return to the Norwegian Bliss by 1 p.m. that day, for the ship's scheduled 1:30 p.m. departure. A Norwegian spokesperson said multiple attempts were made to contact the guest before the ship departed. CruiseMapper shows the Bliss continuing on its week-long Alaska cruise sailing, which originated in Seattle on June 28. Search and recovery Multiple agencies searched the Gold Ridge area until Buenafe's body was recovered below the ridge line of Gold Ridge at around noon Thursday. 'Her next of kin have been notified, and her body will be sent to the state medical examiner's office for autopsy,' according to Alaska State Troopers. Norwegian told USA TODAY it's assisting local authorities in the investigation. Also, 'Our CARE team is providing support to the guest's family and our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.' Contributing: Nathan Diller, USA TODAY

Church Doubles Down After Preacher Encouraged Prayers for LGBTQ Deaths
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. An independent Baptist church in Indianapolis has defended a sermon in which church members called for the deaths of people in the LGBTQ+ community. On July 3, preacher Justin Zhong said in a post on the Sure Foundation Baptist Church's Facebook page that the church would not apologize for the sermon. "The Bible is crystal clear that sodomites (homosexuals) deserve the death penalty carried out by a government that actually cares about the law of God," Zhong wrote. In an emailed statement to Newsweek, the Sure Foundation Baptist Church said: "The Bible puts the death penalty on the LGBTQ people. We as Christians must believe and preach what the Bible says. The reason people are so shocked about all this is not many 'Christians' and even 'pastors' actually believe the Bible. To be clear, we only called for the government to execute those people. We are against vigilantes." Why It Matters The church's unapologetic endorsement of violent anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric reflects a worrying rise of open homophobia in the United States. According to the Human Rights Campaign, citing FBI data, there were 2,402 reported hate crime incidents targeting individuals based on their sexual orientation in 2023—up 23 percent from the previous year. What To Know On June 29, the Sure Foundation Baptist Church held "Men's Preaching Night," where multiple church members used homophobic slurs and called for violence against the LGBTQ+ community while speaking from the pulpit. In a sermon titled "Pray the Gay Away," Stephen Falco addressed the LGBTQ+ community, saying: "You ought to blow yourself in the back of the head. You're so disgusting." "How shall we then properly pray for gay people?" he continued. "We should pray for their deaths, plain and simple."

"You got another Pride Month here. I mean, obviously, I think they should be put to death," Wade Rawley said. "These people should be beaten and stomped in the mud, and then they should take a gun and blow the back of their heads off," he continued. After the sermon, which was broadcast live on Facebook, gained widespread criticism, the church took to its Facebook page to double down on the message. Zhong, who signed the message, wrote: "I will not apologize for preaching the Word of God. I will not apologize for stating facts. I will not negotiate with terrorists, among whom the LGBTHIV crowd is full of domestic terrorists." The church is no stranger to courting controversy. Zhong said in a sermon last year that he would like to see then-President Joe Biden and presidential candidate Donald Trump put to death. What People Are Saying The Concerned Clergy of Indianapolis, a community activist group, condemned the sermon in a statement: "The Concerned Clergy of Indianapolis stands firmly against the harmful rhetoric recently preached that condemned all LGBTQ individuals to hell and instructed people to stay away from them. Such messages are not only theologically irresponsible but pastorally dangerous." What Happens Next Sure Foundation Baptist Church appears to be unfazed by criticisms of its homophobic rhetoric and is likely to continue with its inflammatory sermons.

Slow Horses Season 5: Release date, cast, and what to expect
By Aman Shukla Published on July 4, 2025, 18:00 IST Last updated July 4, 2025, 10:51 IST Slow Horses , the acclaimed Apple TV+ espionage drama based on Mick Herron's Slough House novels, continues to captivate audiences with its sharp writing, dark humor, and stellar performances. Following the success of Season 4, which premiered in September 2024, fans are eagerly awaiting Season 5. Here's everything confirmed about Slow Horses Season 5. Slow Horses Season 5 Release Date Apple TV+ has confirmed that Slow Horses Season 5 will premiere on September 24, 2025, with the first episode, followed by one episode weekly until the finale on October 22, 2025. This aligns with the show's pattern of annual releases, as Season 4 debuted in September 2024. The six-episode season will stream exclusively on Apple TV+, maintaining the series' rapid production pace, with five seasons delivered in just over three years. Slow Horses Season 5 Cast The ensemble cast of Slow Horses remains a highlight, and Season 5 will feature the return of key actors, as confirmed by Apple TV+ and other sources. The following cast members are set to reprise their roles: Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb , the brilliant but abrasive leader of Slough House. Kristin Scott Thomas as Diana Taverner , MI5's cunning Deputy Director-General. Jack Lowden as River Cartwright , a skilled agent relegated to Slough House after a career misstep. Saskia Reeves as Catherine Standish , the team's administrative anchor with a troubled past. Rosalind Eleazar as Louisa Guy , a capable agent navigating personal challenges. Christopher Chung as Roddy Ho , the socially awkward tech expert. Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Shirley Dander , an impulsive but talented agent. Ruth Bradley as Emma Flyte , a newer MI5 operative introduced in Season 4. James Callis as Claude Whelan , MI5's head facing internal pressures. Tom Brooke as J.K. Coe , a reserved agent with a mysterious edge. Jonathan Pryce as David Cartwright, River's retired MI5 veteran grandfather. Additionally, Nick Mohammed, known for Ted Lasso , joins the cast as a guest star, though his specific role has not been officially detailed by Apple TV+. Reports suggest he may play a significant political figure, adding a new dynamic to the series. Notably, Kadiff Kirwan will not return as Marcus Longridge due to his character's death in Season 4. No other cast additions have been confirmed by Apple TV+ at this time. What to Expect from Slow Horses Season 5 Slow Horses Season 5 will adapt London Rules, the fifth book in Mick Herron's Slough House series, continuing the show's trend of adapting one novel per season. According to Apple TV+'s official synopsis, 'Everyone is suspicious when resident tech nerd Roddy Ho has a glamorous new girlfriend, but when a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected. After all, Lamb knows that in the world of espionage, the London Rules — cover your back — always apply.' This suggests a season filled with espionage, intrigue, and the team's signature chaotic approach to solving complex cases. The season will explore the Slow Horses' efforts to unravel a web of strange incidents in London, with Roddy Ho's personal life playing a key role in the narrative. The series will maintain its blend of high-stakes action, dark humor, and character-driven drama, with Jackson Lamb's sharp wit and leadership at the forefront. Showrunner Will Smith and author Mick Herron have noted that Season 5 will reflect contemporary British politics, drawing on themes from London Rules about self-inflicted national challenges and the unsung efforts of Slough House's misfits. Apple TV+ has also confirmed a sixth season, set to adapt Joe Country and parts of Slough House , indicating that Season 5 will lay groundwork for future storylines. The series' fast-paced production and critical acclaim, including a 98% Rotten Tomatoes score and Emmy wins, ensure that Season 5 will deliver the intense storytelling fans expect.
