Man Dies at Milan Airport After Being Sucked Into Jet Engine, Official Says
The man was neither a passenger nor an airport employee, according to an official for Sacbo, the company that manages Milan Bergamo Airport. The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to be quoted.
Flight operations at the airport were suspended at 10:20 a.m. local time because of 'a problem' on the taxiway, Sacbo said in a statement, and resumed at noon.
The authorities were investigating the incident, the official said. He did not respond to questions about the airline the plane belonged to or how the man had accessed the runway.
Nineteen flights at the airport were canceled and several were delayed, according to FlightAware, a company that tracks flight information.

Oklahoma officials examined Ryan Walters' office TV. Here's what they found
In a memo to Oklahoma legislators, the state Office of Management and Enterprise Services says it 'cannot determine definitively whether or not an incident took place' involving images of naked women being shown on a television set in state school Superintendent Ryan Walters' office during a state Board of Education meeting. The document, obtained by The Oklahoman on Tuesday, July 29, sheds light on how the agency's investigation began, how that inquiry has unfolded and what officials have found so far. The OMES memo contains no language clearing Walters, though he insisted multiple times Tuesday that he had been cleared by the agency. 'We are currently awaiting further word from the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office' about the next steps in the investigation, the memo reads. The memo says three sheriff's deputies joined OMES officials on a visit Monday to the Oklahoma State Department of Education's offices inside the Oliver Hodge Building, located in the Capitol complex. According to the memo, they found: • The television had cable access, streaming services, was connected to an empty DVD player and was equipped with a dipole antenna. • The television was connected to the state's open WiFi network. • A one-time passcode was required to access screen casting to the television, limiting the number of people with casting ability to the device. • The search history on the television was empty. • The television previously belonged to a former education agency employee and was relocated to the superintendent's office earlier this month. The employee's account was still connected to YouTube TV but under a new IP address. • Due to the hundreds of preloaded apps on the television, the streaming services were not given a full review as the television remained onsite. • Walters told them that on board meeting days, many staff members, board members and the public could access his office. According to the memo, Walters contacted OMES on Monday 'and asked OMES to examine equipment at OSDE.' The only device it was asked to examine was a 55-inch Samsung television in Walters' office. The memo makes no mention of other devices used by Walters, such as a laptop computer or cell phone. OMES said in the memo it can only review technology at an agency's request, unless it's directed otherwise by the Legislature, law enforcement or the court system. OMES also said it 'cannot review other state or personal devices without permission from that agency and/or individuals.' During a news conference Tuesday, Walters said multiple investigations had showed his "devices were never connected to that TV." He also deflected a question about the TV's content streaming capabilities, describing it repeatedly as "cable TV." He exited the news conference without saying if he'd granted the sheriff's office or OMES permission to examine any other devices. According to the memo, OMES was informed that wireless hotspots are used in Walters' office during board meetings, but that it could not independently verify that information. OMES can only monitor state wireless networks, the memo says. The memo says a board member filed a written complaint regarding the content that they said they saw on the television. That board member is Becky Carson of Edmond. Carson and a second board member, Ryan Deatherage of Kingfisher, told The Oklahoman on Friday they saw images of nude women while the board met behind closed doors in Walters' office on Thursday. The state board was in Walters' office for an executive session to discuss teacher licensing, student attendance appeals and other sensitive issues. Walters, who chairs the board, has forcefully denied knowing about or being responsible for the content on the television. 'Any suggestion that a device of mine was used to stream inappropriate content on the television set is categorically false," he said. "I have no knowledge of what was on the TV screen during the alleged incident, and there is absolutely no truth to any implication of wrongdoing.' According to the memo, Carson's complaint includes a 'request that (Walters') computers, personal devices and cell phones used by him at his office using government resources be preserved to ensure any pornography be preserved.' The Oklahoman has filed an open records request with OMES for a copy of Carson's complaint. After receiving the complaint, OMES said it 'then reached out to the Oklahoma County Sheriff and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation out of an abundance of caution and in recognition that OMES is not a law enforcement agency and has no authority to investigate such matters.' OSBI spokesman Hunter McKee told The Oklahoman on Monday that agency had also been contacted about the investigation and, 'if there is something deemed criminal, we will be ready to help' the sheriff's office if it asks for assistance. At his news conference Tuesday, Walters said not only had he been cleared OMES, but also the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office. A spokesman for the latter agency said no one had been cleared of wrongdoing and that an investigation into what happened is proceeding. Walters accused Gov. Kevin Stitt of orchestrating the drama with the help of his four recent appointees to the Oklahoma State Board of Education, including Carson and Deatherage. Stitt and Walters, both Republicans, have been locked in a political feud for months. Lawmakers reacted to Walters' statements Tuesday be reiterating their calls for an outside review. "From the start, I have stated the need for a transparent third-party review of this situation,' House Speaker Kyle Hilbert, R-Bristow, said in a statement. 'Regardless of one's thoughts on the State Superintendent, he deserves to be treated as innocent until proven guilty, the same as anyone in this situation. As Speaker of the House, my desire is to let the independent investigation play out and wherever that investigation leads, the House stands ready to take appropriate action, if any is needed." State Rep. Andy Fugate, D-Del City – who's no fan of Walters – said he didn't know what to believe, with each side telling conflicting stories. 'In deference to the superintendent, he deserves a full and complete investigation that he needs to be a part of, a willing participant,' Fugate said. 'If nothing else, he ought to be interested in clearing his name, instead of coming out and just attacking everybody else, whether he's blaming the governor, he's blaming school board members, he's blaming the 'woke' media. It doesn't matter. At the end of the day, the buck stops at his desk, and we want to know what was going on behind him.'

Jess Carter on missing Euros celebrations: It was my decision to return to club side Gotham
England's Jess Carter says it was her decision to return to her National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) club side Gotham and therefore miss out on the Euro 2025 victory celebrations in London. The 27-year-old defender was part of Sarina Wiegman's England side that won a second consecutive Euros title in Switzerland this month, but while the squad celebrated with fans in London on Tuesday, Carter was already back in the U.S. preparing for Gotham's game with Chicago Stars on Saturday. In a post on Instagram, Carter said she could not be prouder of her role in the Lionesses' Euro 2025 victory. 'The drive and determination this team has shown to stick together has been amazing. I can't thank my teammates, coaches, friends and family enough for everything they have done this tournament to support me and keep me going right to the end,' the post read. 'To the fans, I heard you loud and clear these past couple of games. Your messages of support have not gone unnoticed and I am truly grateful for you all.' But she added: 'Gotham has quickly become a family and a team to me that I truly enjoy being part of so coming back to them straight away to prep for our upcoming game was a decision I made myself, which is why I wasn't present at the celebrations back in England. Thank you to both England and Gotham for supporting me in that decision.' NWSL club Gotham said in a statement that every player competing in major international tournaments over the past month had been offered time off following the completion of those events and confirmed that Carter made her own decision to return to New Jersey and join up with the team. Carter was subjected to racial abuse during the European Championship. Posting on social media before the semi-final against Italy, Carter said on social media that from the start of the tournament, she had 'experienced a lot of racial abuse' and hopes raising the issues 'will make the people writing this abuse think twice so others don't have to deal with it'. England made the decision not to take the knee before the victory over Italy as mark of solidarity with Carter. The team said their gesture, which they have been doing along with many other clubs around the world in protest of racism and police brutality after the killing of George Floyd in 2020, had lost its meaning and impact, stating 'it is clear we and football need to find another way to tackle racism.' The gesture follows that made by former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick in 2016 when he knelt during the traditional playing of the U.S. national anthem before a game, protesting against racial injustice. Carter added in her post on Tuesday: 'I'll end this by saying hate will never win! There never has been and there never will be room for racism. Every player that puts on that England shirt does their best to represent our country at the highest level and no player or person should feel hesitant to do that because of the colour of their skin. I will continue to work with social media platforms and other organisations to find a way to make everyday society a place that is inclusive for all.'

Italy's prosecutors investigate an attack on a Jewish man and his young son as a possible hate crime
MILAN (AP) — Prosecutors in Italy are investigating an attack against a Jewish man and his young son at a highway rest area north of the city of Milan as a possible hate crime. The incident started after someone noticed the 52-year-old French tourist and 6-year-old son were wearing a kippah, a Jewish head covering, when they stopped on Sunday evening to use the restroom about 20 kilometers (12 miles) north of Milan. The Milan daily Corriere della Sera reported on Tuesday that the man filmed as people started yelling: 'Free Palestine.' He fell to the ground, where he was kicked and punched, while his attackers tried to wrest his smartphone from him. Authorities are reviewing video surveillance of the scene. The victim told Corriere della Sera that he was en route back to Paris after dropping his older daughter and her Italian husband off in Milan when a cashier at the rest stop started yelling 'Free Palestine,'' and was quickly joined by customers who yelled 'murders' and 'genocide.' The man said he was attacked after he and his son left the basement restroom. The newspaper did not identify the man, and did not describe his injuries. A female bystander defended the child, who was distraught after the incident, his father said. The attack only stopped when the man called for police, who arrived after 10 minutes. Daniele Nahum, a Milan city councilor, denounced the attack during a Milan city council meeting on Monday, saying 'the antisemitic situation is becoming unmanageable.' The Milan-based Antisemitism Observatory reported that antisemitic incidents in Italy nearly doubled last year to 877, from 454 in 2023.
