It then travelled through a perimeter fence and collided with a Toyota Corolla, coming to rest about 1,300ft (394m) beyond the runway.

Homendy described the crash scene as “devastating”, with debris from the aircraft, vehicles and airport fencing scattered across the area.

“It’s hard to see, and I’m sure very difficult for the first responders as well,” she said.

She said recovering victims’ bodies was the current priority, adding: “The investigation and access to the aircraft, as well as evidence, can wait.”

The flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder have been recovered and are being sent to NTSB headquarters for evaluation.

Homendy said investigators could not yet say anything substantive about the cause of the crash as they were still collecting evidence at the scene.

Investigators will examine the flight history, crew experience and training, radar data, and aircraft performance. Separate teams will look at the plane’s systems and engines, while a meteorologist will assess the weather conditions at the time of landing.

The NTSB will also examine whether the runway should have had an engineered materials arresting system (EMAS), which is designed to slow and stop aircraft that overrun a runway. Homendy said this would be a “key” part of the investigation.

Earlier analysis by BBC Verify found there was an active thunderstorm near the airport shortly before the crash, with winds gusting up to 26 knots.

The NTSB has appealed for members of the public to share photographs or videos that could aid the investigation.

Homendy said the agency would make safety recommendations at the end of its investigation. “That’s why we’re here – to prevent the next tragedy,” she said.

“Our recommendations must be implemented, or we’ll be here again.”

Two of the four runways at the airport remained closed following the crash. Passengers have been warned to expect further disruption after Sunday’s cancellations affected the arrival of aircraft and flight crews.

The crash happened during the Labor Day holiday weekend, one of the busiest travel periods in the US.

Amazon said it was “heartbroken” by the loss of life and that it was working closely with authorities.

21 Air, the company operating the aircraft, expressed its condolences and said it was co-operating with the investigation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Iran state media on Monday said a ballistic missile with improved capabilities was demonstrating a new doctrine: Tehran “will take action against any threat, even before it is carried out.”

The report by Iran’s state news agency repeatedly cited comments aired on state TV the day before by the head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, who boasted of new missile capability and claimed it had been “tested” against a U.S. warship. But it was not clear whether what was tested was the missile the new report described, the solid-fueled Qassem Basir.

The U.S. on Saturday said ballistic missiles were launched at U.S. warships and it struck three Iranian oil tankers in response. Experts called the launch a dangerous escalation, noting that until then Iran’s attacks at sea had targeted commercial shipping during six months of war. The U.S. said the warships evaded the attacks.

Iran’s messaging in recent days has become more assertive, and Monday’s report said the Qassem Basir marks “a turning point in Iran’s defense strategy.” It described the missile as having greater range and accuracy and a half-ton warhead. The missile was unveiled last year, when it was described as having at least a 1,200-kilometer (745-mile) range.

Concerns about Iran’s ballistic missile program were one of the stated reasons the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran early this year, sparking the war.

US dismisses talk of Iran-imposed ‘exclusion zone’

The White House responded to plans announced by Rezaei to create an “exclusion zone” near the Strait of Hormuz that’s aimed at vessels trying to transit, saying the waterway is open and controlled by the U.S.

It also said the U.S. Navy had cleared the strait of mines, and that tanker traffic to non-Iranian ports would increase. A U.S. blockade on Iranian ports continues in an effort to increase Tehran’s economic pain by limiting its oil exports. The U.S. military said that as of Monday, 94 commercial vessels had been redirected and three had been disabled.

Tehran wants ships to follow a route it chooses through the strait, which was considered an international waterway before the war. Rezaei acknowledged that the U.S. has been helping a limited number of ships transit on a route off Oman, and said Tehran isn’t sinking them because they carry oil, noting environmental concerns.

As both countries continue to assert claims about the strait and the flow of shipping, global commerce information firm Kpler noted on X that transits through the waterway dropped sharply last week.

A week ago, an attack on a Saudi-owned tanker killed two crew members and left seven unaccounted for. If they are confirmed dead, that would make the attack the deadliest on a commercial vessel since the war began on Feb. 28 with U.S. and Israeli strikes.

Regional countries express frustration

Frustration emerged again in the Gulf over the uncertainty around the waterway that’s crucial for shipping global supplies of oil, natural gas and related products like fertilizer.

“No single state” should control the strait, Anwar Gargash, a diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, said at a forum of world leaders in Abu Dhabi, adding: “Our energy exports will not be held hostage, nor will our trade and economic activity.”

The UAE, a close U.S. ally, has repeatedly come under Iranian missile and drone fire in the war. Last month, the UAE suspended all trade with Iran after saying it had come under renewed fire.

Rebuilding trust between Iran and the Gulf countries could take decades, Gargash warned.

In a statement, Jaguar Land Rover said it will “reduce our global workforce” by around 4,000 roles in the next two years due to “significant challenges” facing the automotive industry and a need to find £1.7 billion in savings.

Chief executive PB Balaji said: “The automotive industry faces significant challenges, with technological change amidst intense competition and ongoing geo-political uncertainty. Through our Growth Reimagined strategy, JLR is moving decisively to strengthen our competitiveness and position the business for long-term success.

“Over the next 12 months, we will launch five new products, continue to leverage the strength of our brands and renew our focus on North America, amongst other markets, to help us deliver double digit revenue growth. At the same time, we are reducing organisational complexity and targeting £1.7 billion of savings to lower our break-even point towards 300,000 vehicles and become fitter to compete in a rapidly evolving market.

“These actions will support continued investment of £15-18 billion over the next five years in electrification, digital technologies, advanced manufacturing and enhanced customer experiences.

“As part of this transformation, we will reduce our global workforce by around 4,000 roles over the next two years. We recognise this will be difficult news for colleagues affected, and are committed to supporting everyone with care, fairness and respect.

“Together, these actions will help build a stronger, more competitive JLR for all our stakeholders.”

It is understood roles affected will be non-production with the majority of cuts affecting its UK operations, where around 34,000 staff are based.

Just under 10,000 are employed by the company overseas.

JLR revealed last month that revenues fell by 9.6% year-on-year to £6 billion for the three months to June 30, driven by a 9.2% decline in car volumes.

The firm has been recovering from the cyber attack last year, which forced it to stop production at its UK factories for five weeks, weighed on sales and leading to heavy financial losses.

Newlyweds Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enjoyed a glamorous and rare night on the town since officially becoming husband and wife. 

Exclusive photos obtained by The Daily Mail captured the couple emerging from dinner at the Ambassadors Clubhouse in New York on Sunday evening, absolutely dressed to the hilt. 

Swift, 36, dazzled in flowing, metallic-infused halter dress that cascaded down her statuesque physique paired with gold heels and a purse in hand. 

The NFL player, 36, was outfitted in a silky Amiri button down, brown slacks and checkered slip-on Vans that clashed with his more dressed-up outfit.  

The couple looked as in love as ever, with Kelce guiding his wife towards the Indian restaurant with a protective hand on her back. 

Their glittering wedding rings were also on fully display.

As Swift headed inside the restaurant, a glimmer of the massive engagement ring was visible. Kelce’s gold band also glittered amongst the flashing lights. 

The Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Swift for comment but has not yet heard back.

A source told People the couple had dinner in the eatery’s lower ground main dining room area, where they enjoyed ‘a variety of classics from the menu’, such as dishes and beverages. 

Described as ‘impossible-to-get-into’ by Eater, Ambassadors Clubhouse first opened in London before expanding to 1245 Broadway earlier this year. 

‘Ambassadors Clubhouse is a restaurant centrally located in New York’s NoMad district that brings together the shared culinary heritage of Northern India. The restaurant takes inspiration from the party mansions of the region and celebrates classic Indian hospitality through the sharing of fine food and spirits,’ the restaurant’s website states.  

The date night isn’t the first time the couple have been spotted since tying the knot in July.  

They were photographed for the first time as newlyweds at JuJu Smith-Schuster and Laura Kruk’s wedding just days after saying ‘I do’ in Madison Square Garden.  

‘I wanna thank everyone at MSG, we wanted to do it somewhere where we could have an intimate and genuine setting without a lot of distractions,’ Kelce recently said on his podcast, New Heights. ‘We needed to have a private feel, and MSG went above and beyond to give us that.

‘I can’t thank everybody enough, not just who showed up but helped put that show on.

‘[…] It was very cool to see how everyone interacted with no phones, everyone is on guard, it makes everyone be in the moment and present. It was cool to see friends of my childhood and of Taylor’s all the way to people we encountered through our careers and became good friends with. We wanted it to be a beautiful ceremony and made sure everyone left there having some fun.’

He also gave a special shoutout to Sandler for getting ordained in the state of New York to be able to marry the couple ‘Sand-man style.’

The three-time Super Bowl winner also confirmed that he and his A-list wife have become proud owners of a white Samoyed named Wendy.

The adorable pup made her public debut alongside the tight end in a campaign for Tommy Hilfiger this week.

‘She is officially a picture dog. We gotta get the line in her size,’ Travis said.

‘Unfortunately, she’s just got her fur on. We gotta work with Tommy on getting her some good clothes,’ he quipped.

The Kansas City Chiefs star said he talked to Taylor about having Wendy in the photo shoot and the singer was ‘all for it.’

The couple finally married in front of 1,000 of their closest friends – and the world’s biggest stars – in a colossal blowout at Madison Square Garden on July 3

‘It’s kind of crazy how perfect she looks in the Tommy Hilfiger world. She matches the brand and the shoot and it was pretty easy to get her to jump on the couch and have some fun with us,’ he said of the furry pup.

‘But yeah, Wendy’s a model. She’s a model dog,’ he added.

Travis also revealed that he and the ‘Bad Blood’ singer have had Wendy for a while now.

‘Little ‘ol Wendy’s a little over a year old now. We’ve had her for quite a while,’ he shared, adding that the pair was ‘trying to keep it under wraps.’

The pet’s existence was first revealed by the Daily Mail in exclusive footage from inside the couple’s wedding, which showed a picture of the happy couple posing with their furry friend.

A source told the Daily Mail that ‘it seems that Travis made it happen’ regarding the dog.

The name may be a reference to Wendy Peffercorn, the lifeguard character in The Sandlot, who Travis previously revealed was his favorite ’90s character and childhood crush.

Meanwhile, Taylor has also referenced Peter Pan in her music, including the character of Wendy.

The couple’s Love Story began three years ago, when Kelce first laid eyes on the singer at her Kansas City Eras Tour concert on July 8, 2023

After months of teases, rumors and conflicting reports, the couple finally married in front of 1,000 of their closest friends – and the world’s biggest stars – in a colossal blowout at Madison Square Garden on July 3. Both the bride and groom were dressed in Christian Dior, her publicist announced.

There were no bridesmaids, instead, Swift’s brother Austin acted as her ‘man of honor’, and Jason was the best man.

The couple’s Love Story began three years ago, when Kelce first laid eyes on the singer at her Kansas City Eras Tour concert on July 8, 2023.

The Chiefs’ tight end tried to meet Swift that evening, bringing along a friendship bracelet that contained his phone number. However, his attempt at handing her the jewelry was unsuccessful.

At the same time, Swift was at her own professional peak, traveling the world for her sold-out stadium shows, with Kelce flying in to support her.

Despite their hectic schedules and intense public interest in their romance, Kelce claimed that he felt calmed by both his girlfriend’s presence and down-to-earth nature.

‘Whenever I’m with her, it feels like we’re just regular people… When there is not a camera on us, we’re just two people that are in love,’ he told GQ.

Parties split on geographical lines between Bangor and Newtownards

Plans for free Christmas Saturday car parking in the North Down city of Bangor have stirred protest from Newtownards representatives.

The age-old friendly feud between Newtownards and Bangor was reignited at a recent meeting of the Ards and North Down Borough Council Environment Committee, where officials had presented a paper titled “Promotional Parking Tariffs – Christmas 2026.”

A vote to implement an Xmas Saturday free car parking trial in Bangor caused a split in the chamber and amongst the parties, causing a non-recorded show-of-hands vote. On a five to four vote in favour, with one abstention from the Chair, the Bangor trial was passed.

There are 22 charged car parks in the borough: nine in Bangor, three in Holywood and 10 in Newtownards. The council has estimated that introducing free Saturday parking from 21st November to 31st December in Bangor would cost it £5,175.20. If it had been all 22 car parks, the council would have lost £15,618.37.

In February this year, the council agreed to the Ards and North Down Off-Street Parking Order 2025, and commissioned an officer report for the committee looking at options around introducing free or reduced-price parking during the Christmas period.

The council had hoped to get the new tariffs regime up this Autumn, but delays in communication from the Stormont Department for Infrastructure new order mean it will not be implemented before Christmas 2026. Officials organised meetings the borough’s Local Action Groups to discuss potential promotional Christmas tariffs for 2026, with different responses from different areas.

Ards and North Down Council describes its Local Action Groups as being made up of community representatives, local Chambers of Commerce, elected members, and other “key stakeholders.”

Regarding the Newtownards LAG, the report states: “The LAG recognised the difficulties that free parking could create in Newtownards town centre, particularly in relation to space blocking and turnover in busy town centre car parks during the festive season, and the potential negative impact that could have on trade.

“It was agreed that the existing £1 for five hours tariff should be promoted more effectively this year, and there was no support for free parking for Christmas 2026.” The Holywood group also voiced support for the £1 five hours tariff, and spoke against free parking at Christmas

Regarding Bangor, the report states: “During the meeting, members discussed how free parking on Saturdays from the Christmas light switch-on (21 November 2026) could support businesses within Bangor city centre over the Christmas period. The LAG considered that consistency with the other two towns was not required, as the needs of each area differ and it is the role of the LAGs to highlight those local needs.

“An email was sent to members of the Newtownards and Holywood LAGs to advise them of the outcome of the Bangor meeting and invite comments. Newtownards Chamber urged Bangor to reconsider and adopt a consistent approach. Bangor Chamber maintained the position agreed at the LAG meeting.”

At the Environment Committee, Ards North Down Mayor Craig Blaney, who is also a Bangor UUP representative, said: “Having been in close communication with the Chambers and the various LAG groups I think this is a good way of going about it. Ultimately having the flexibility within the parking system to provide what different towns want represents hopefully a good use of our powers.

“There is not a one-size-fits-all across the borough. At the end of the day it is the businesses that are going to be affected by the parking changes. In Bangor the free parking will really benefit the traders at Christmas time.”

Newtownards representative, Alderman Naomi Armstrong-Cotter said: “I think it is unfortunate that we don’t have a parking policy across each town across the borough. We have spent a lot of time together working on a parking schedule, and it is nice to know we can separate out depending on the individual Chambers, because that is obviously the precedent being set here.

“£5,000 doesn’t seem a lot of money, yet it is a lot of money to rate payers, especially the ones that are coming to Newtownards, and paying their money. While they don’t have to pay in other areas. It doesn’t send a good message. The LAGs are the LAGS, but we are the council, and we make the decisions.”

She said she was “not content.”

Workers who use their own cars for their jobs could be missing out on hundreds of pounds after a major change to mileage rates – and Martin Lewis says it is one of the most overlooked money-saving measures this year.

The MoneySavingExpert highlighted a little-known rule that could boost payments for millions of employees who drive between workplaces, visit clients or travel as part of their job.

From April, the Government increased the approved mileage allowance for cars and vans from 45p to 55p per mile for the first 10,000 business miles driven each tax year – the first rise in more than a decade.

The change does not apply to ordinary commuting between home and work. Instead, it affects workers who regularly travel for business, including care workers visiting clients, tradespeople, sales staff, community nurses, engineers and anyone required to drive between different locations during the working day.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Martin Lewis said: “The big one that I think is going to be under-covered, but is actually really important, is the increase in the mileage allowance for people who drive as part of their work.

“This has been frozen at 45p since, I think, 2011, so the increase from 45p to 55p for the first 10,000 miles that you drive is really important.”

The new rate means employers can reimburse staff up to 55p a mile without the payment being subject to tax or National Insurance.

But Mr Lewis warned there is another part of the rule many workers may not know about.

If an employer pays less than the approved rate, employees may be able to claim tax relief on the difference through HMRC.

He explained: “If your employer doesn’t give you the full amount of the mileage allowance – let’s imagine they give you 30p and the allowance is 55p – you can claim tax back on that 25p per mile that you drive as part of your work, not commuting.”

And if an employer pays nothing at all, workers could claim tax relief based on the full 55p rate.

After the first 10,000 business miles, the approved rate falls to 25p per mile.

The rules also apply to self-employed people using their own vehicles for business purposes, although mileage rates for motorbikes and bicycles remain unchanged at 24p and 20p per mile respectively.

For workers covering thousands of miles each year, the change could mean significantly more money back – but only if they know to check what their employer pays and whether they are eligible to make a claim.

It was a family affair at London’s Cineworld in Leicester Square tonight as Noel and Liam Gallagher were joined by their children at the premiere of Oasis: Don’t Look Back In Anger.

The once-feuding brothers continued to prove their era of estrangement is over for good as they put on a brotherly display on the star-studded red carpet.

Posing with their arms wrapped around each other, the rocker siblings were joined by their supportive brood, including Liam’s sons Gene, 25, and Lennon, 26, and Noel’s model-daughter Anais, 26.

The brotherly appearance was a far cry from the days of their 15-year public spat, when they fell out after numerous backstage bust-ups, walk-outs and booze-fuelled arguments.

It all came to a head when a dressing room feud in Paris tore the band apart for good in 2009… or so fans thought.

Back together for tonight’s star-studded red carpet event, Noel channelled the nineties in a double denim look, teamed with a £1,890 Mr Porter suede jacket, while Liam wore his trademark parka from the height of the band’s Britpop days.

Sienna Miller was the most high-profile star to join the duo on the red carpet as she oozed elegance in a black midi-dress.

The documentary, which launches September 9 in cinemas and on Disney Plus, chronicles their famous 15-year feud, reconciliation and follows the band on their reunion tour which grossed each brother £100million.

Noel has two sons, Sonny, 15, and Donovan, 18, with his ex-wife Sara MacDonald, and model daughter Anais, 26, with first wife Meg Mathews.

Liam shares Lennon, 26, with his first wife, actress Patsy Kensit; Gene, 25, from his marriage to All Saints‘ Nicole Appleton, and Molly, 28, from a brief relationship with singer-songwriter Lisa Moorish in the late 1990s, who all went on tour. He also has love child Gemma, 13, who lives in New York.

Gene is hoping to follow in his father’s footsteps after playing with his band Villanelle at Reading and Leeds Festival last month. Meanwhile Lennon also sings and plays guitar in his band Automotion, while both sons and Molly have also turned their hand to modelling. 

The documentary will include the first joint interviews with Noel and Liam in more than 20 years, following their 2009 break-up. 

The filmmakers admitted that the Gallaghers were not really on speaking terms when filming began during rehearsals for the tour. 

They travelled separately and the tour promoters unusually only paid them once they had completed all 41 dates because they had such a history of conflict.

As the tour goes on, their relationship improved and their children met each other for the first time in many years.

Rumours of a follow-up to the band’s 2025 reunion tour have been rife in recent weeks, but no dates or venues have been formally announced.

Noel’s eldest daughter Anais put on a racy display in a backless cut-out gown as she held up a peace sign on her arrival.

Lennon and Gene looked the spitting image of their famous fathers wearing dark-rimmed sunglasses. 

Liam and Noel’s tumultuous relationship famously saw Oasis break up 17 years ago as a result of backstage bust-ups, walk-outs and numerous booze-fuelled arguments.

After working through countless bickers since they shot to stardom in the 1990s, fans were left devastated when a dressing room feud in Paris tore the band apart in 2009.

Noel issued a statement at the time, saying: ‘It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.’

In another statement a few days later, titled Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere, Noel added: ‘I feel you have the right to know that the level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable.

‘And the lack of support and understanding from my management and band mates has left me with no other option than to get me cape and seek pastures new.’

In the years that have followed, a feud and bitter fighting has ensued with the brothers trading insults back and forth in interviews and on social media.

Ahead of the documentary release, Oasis have ‘expressed concerns’ ahead of an unheard archive of their recordings going up for sale.

The recordings, which encompass 63 live shows, as well as soundchecks and more than 100 hours of rehearsal from the brothers in the 1990s, are set to be auctioned next month.

They were collected by the Oasis’ sound engineer Huw Richards, who worked with the band from the release of their debut album Definitely, Maybe in 1994, until 2001.

However, Littleton Auctions, who have called the sale a ‘once-in-a-generation opportunity for fans and collectors alike’, has confirmed the band does not support the sale.

The auction house’s managing director Ben Homer said in a statement: ‘The Oasis camp is aware of the auction and has expressed concerns, which is entirely understandable given the scale and significance of the material.

‘We’re handling everything with full transparency and proper legal process.

‘Our focus is simply on presenting these items responsibly, with verified provenance, and allowing collectors and institutions to engage with an important part of British music history.’

The tapes, which are part of the wider collection dubbed The Desk Tapes, were recorded by Richards himself, who served as the front-of-house sound engineer for Oasis during the height of their career in the mid-1990s.

After joining Oasis’s crew in 1995, he worked with them on some of their biggest concerts, including the Knebworth shows in August 1996.

He recorded the tapes directly from the desk, with Littleton Auctions calling the tapes in its sale ‘the only master archive of its kind in existence’.

The recordings are being brought to sale by Huw’s son Owain Richards, with other items including internal tour itineraries, original setlists, a band-played Epiphone guitar and an original Kangol Oasis Tour parka.

Richards said: ‘Dad labelled everything, recorded everything and backed it all up to cassette, over and over. I grew up listening to these recordings. Oasis were part of the family as much as they were part of the culture.’

He explained that after the tapes had ‘been in my care’ over the past 20 years, it now ‘feels like the right time to pass them on to people who’ll understand exactly what they are’.

The auction house has singled out ‘standout items’ including a pair of Adidas Kegler Super Ostrich trainers, one of only 100 pairs ever made and given to Noel.

The Daily Mail exclusively announced last month the band set to take to the stage again following the extraordinary success of their sell-out comeback shows (pictured 2008) 

They were produced in 2000 to mark the 100th birthday of Adidas founder Adi Dassler and only issued to friends and family of the brand.

Littleton Auctions added: ‘Taken together, the tapes and memorabilia are a rare record of one of the defining bands of their generation at the peak of their powers – the imperfections and the energy of a band working at the very top, caught as it happened. For those who were there, and for those who wish they had been, it is a chance to hold on to a piece of that moment.’

Homer added the level of interest they were ‘already seeing’ reflected Oasis’s popularity as ‘one of the most beloved and closely followed bands in British music history’.

‘Alongside the memorabilia and recordings of other legendary artists in the collection, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for fans and collectors alike,’ he said.

The Times has reported that any buyer would not be able to commercialise the archive without the co-operation of the band as Oasis retain the intellectual property rights.

The Oasis auction will take place online and in person on Saturday, October 3.

Shoppers can save up to £1.60 on individual items, with the cuts covering everything from fruit and vegetables to meat, dairy and store-cupboard essentials.

The biggest cash saving is on organic balsamic vinegar, which has fallen from £6 to £4.40, giving shoppers £1.60 off.

Other reductions include organic honey granola, down from £5.20 to £4, while organic lamb mince has dropped from £7.50 to £6.40.

One of the biggest percentage reductions is on organic crop potatoes, which have fallen from £2.65 to £1.70 – a cut of almost 36 per cent.

M&S Organic Breakfast Tea has been reduced from £2.75 to £1.90, while organic carrots are now 90p and organic garlic starts from 70p.

The price cuts form part of a £4 million investment by M&S aimed at making its organic range more affordable as the retailer looks to compete more aggressively with Britain’s supermarkets.

Selected organic carrots, lamb, pasta and potatoes are also joining the M&S Remarksable Value range.

Prices in the Remarksable Value range are benchmarked against rival supermarkets, while M&S says the products continue to meet its usual quality and sourcing standards.

Alex Freudmann, managing director of M&S Food, said: “We’re on a journey at M&S Food to become a true shopping list retailer, giving customers more reasons to shop with us more often and for more of what they need each week.

“Organic is a category with huge potential.

“That’s why we’re investing over £4 million to lower prices on more than 50 organic staples, bringing together trusted M&S quality, accredited organic sourcing at great value.

“It’s another important step in making M&S accessible to more customers while supporting our ambition to grow the food business.”
