Subjects that might be of some interest

[Chandana Liyanapatabendy]

1. A court in Paris found Air France and Airbus guilty of manslaughter for the crash of flight AF447 in 2009. The plane came down during a thunderstorm over the Atlantic Ocean, killing all 228 people on board. The ruling overturns an acquittal in 2023. The airline and the planemaker must each pay a fine of €225,000 ($261,000). They are expected to appeal.

2. Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission issued guidance confirming that people should use changing rooms and toilets based on their biological sex. Transgender people should be offered separate facilities, it said. Last year Britain’s Supreme Court deemed that, for the purposes of discrimination legislation, “woman” and “sex” refer to “a biological woman and biological sex”.
