Paris Airshow opens under cloud of India crash, Mideast conflict
* India Air Boeing 787 crash overshadows industry talks * Boeing scales back air show presence amid crash probe * Aircraft orders still expected, led by Airbus * Tariffs, Mideast conflict also cloud industry outlook * Poland set to hand Airbus jet order amid warmer French ties PARIS, - The Paris Airshow opens on Monday with its usual fanfare of aircraft orders expected to be tempered by concerns over India's deadliest air disaster and escalating missile strikes between Israel and Iran that have rattled the global aviation industry. Every two years, Le Bourget Airport in the northeast of Paris is transformed into a showcase for the aerospace and defence industry, its sprawling tarmac lined with fighter jets, commercial airliners and autonomous drones. In the pristine white chalets along the flight line, aerospace executives, government officials and military delegations gather to strike deals and discuss the geopolitical forces shaping the future of aviation. Delegates say they expect this year's event from June 16-20 to be more sombre and several public activities to be scaled back after last week's air disaster, when an Air India Boeing 787 crashed shortly after takeoff, killing over 240 people. Investigators are gathering data on the engine, wing flaps and landing gear, though it is too early to draw conclusions, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters in India. India's aviation regulator has ordered safety checks on the airline's 787 fleet. The industry has also been shaken by missile strikes between Iran and Israel, which erupted on Friday - just a day after the India crash - forcing carriers to cancel or divert thousands of flights in the latest upheaval to travel in the region. Aerospace and defence executives are also grappling with uncertainty over U.S. President Donald Trump's shifting tariff policies, which many say have been impacting aircraft, engines and parts, disrupting global supply chains, driving up production costs and straining international partnerships. The show's opening coincides with the 10th anniversary of Trump's first run for office in 2015 ahead of his first term. But it is the trade policies of his second term that have caused the industry to defend its previous tariff-free status, as a pause in his "Liberation Day" tariffs nears a July 8 deadline. AIRBUS POLAND WIN EXPECTED Boeing's CEO Kelly Ortberg and Commercial Airplanes boss Stephanie Pope cancelled their trip to Paris and the U.S. planemaker is scaling back its schedule at the event as it focuses on supporting the India crash probe. The planemaker is eager to keep a low-key presence and avoid any jarring publicity, though it was too late to remove Boeing advertising banners dominating the venue. Behind Boeing's chalet at Le Bourget, a gleaming Riyadh Air 787 sits on the tarmac. Boeing is emerging from back-to-back safety, industrial and corporate crises triggered by fatal accidents involving the smaller 737 MAX, which is a separate model to the newer 787. Aircraft deals will still be announced at the show, where European politics are also driving some of the discussions. Sources told Reuters that Poland is expected to announce Airbus as the winner of a landmark deal to sell around 47 A220 jets to state carrier LOT - part of a wider reset of relations between Poland and France, where Airbus has its headquarters. Brazil's Embraer had pushed hard for the deal, the people said. None of the parties agreed to comment. Airbus is also the front-runner against the same planemaker for a potential order for dozens of A220 jets from AirAsia, with Airbus reviving a proposal for a tighter 160-seat cabin layout while separately showing airlines a stretched version featuring existing Pratt & Whitney engines, sources said. Airbus was also expected to kick off the event with two Saudi orders from AviLease and Riyadh Air. Boeing has shelved most announcements including a fleet shake-up by long-time customer Royal Air Maroc, but had already been heading for a quieter week than Airbus after pre-empting the show with big orders during Trump's recent Gulf visit. The air show is also an opportunity for established and emerging defence and space companies to showcase cutting-edge technologies such as AI and autonomy.

Jammu and Kashmir: Parents of students in Iran demand evacuation
Representative image (AP) SRINAGAR: Parents of students studying in Iran staged a protest Sunday in Srinagar, demanding immediate evacuation as missile exchanges between Israel and Iran entered a third consecutive day. J&K CM Omar Abdullah said his government is in close touch with ministry of external affairs and monitoring the situation in Tehran, Shiraz, Qom, and other affected cities. 'A decision to evacuate, if necessary, will be taken based on the ground situation, with student safety as the top priority,' Abdullah said. 'We will keep everyone informed as the situation develops. As a parent, I assure all families of my government's close and continuous attention to this important developing situation.' According to J&K Students Association (JKSA), more than 1,300 Indian students are stuck in the war in Iran. Many had chosen Iranian universities for their affordability, especially for medical education. JKSA convenor Nasir Khuehami said students are facing increasing insecurity. 'They've reported hearing sirens, feeling tremors, and witnessing heightened military activity,' he said. 'Some are in cities that have already been hit.' National Conference MP Aga Ruhullah said Israeli airstrikes struck Hujat Dost Ali hostel in Tehran, where several Kashmiri students are housed. 'Some have suffered minor injuries,' he said, urging Union government to relocate the students within Iran or evacuate them once the airspace reopens. Dozens of parents gathered at Srinagar's Press Enclave, holding photos of their children and playing voice recordings from students stuck in Iran. 'They are calling us and saying they are in a very tough situation. They need immediate evacuation,' said a woman, whose son is in Tehran. Another parent, whose daughter is studying medicine at Shahid Beheshti University in Tehran, shared a message: 'We are constantly living in fear as air attacks are happening every now and then. We either need shelter or evacuation.'

Who is Arturo Gamboa, man allegedly responsible for killing demonstrator during 'No Kings' protest rally in Utah?
Law enforcement officers have taken into custody the man allegedly responsible for shooting and killing a demonstrator, during the 'No Kings' protest rally in Utah on June 14. Protestors had gathered in large numbers across the country on June 14 to protest against Donald Trump's immigration policies, but little did they know that one of the demonstrators would have to lose their life in the ongoing protest. Arturo Gamboa, is a 24-year-old man, who is believed to be a part of the peacekeeping team of the 'No Kings' protest. There is still no clue as to why he suddenly pulled out his rifle and allegedly shot a demonstrator during the ongoing rally. According to police authorities, Gamboa was responsible for creating the dangerous situation that led to bystander Arthur Folasa Ah Loo's death. Ah Loo succumbed in the hospital to the fatal shot by Gamboa, according to authorities. Gamboa was reportedly treated at a hospital for his injuries and then sent to the Salt Lake County Metro Jail, and has been booked for a murder charge. When the gunshots went off, it sent dozens of protestors running in different directions, some hiding behind barriers, while some fled into parking garages and nearby businesses, police said in an official statement. 'That's a gun. Come on, come on, get out," someone can be heard saying in a video posted to social media that appears to show the events, reads an AP report. The Utah chapter of the 50501 Movement, which helped organize the protests of June 14, said in an official statement on Instagram that they condemned the violence. 'The Utah chapter did not immediately respond to AP questions about the peacekeeping team. It was unclear who hired them, whether they were volunteers or what their training was prior to the event,' the AP report says about the background of the peacekeeping team that Gamboa was believed to be a part of.
