With international rules requiring pilots to carry proper documents, the plane had no choice but to turn around mid-flight before leaving the country. Passengers were surprised as the aircraft headed back, turning a routine trip into a story no one expected. It was a rare reminder that even pilots must follow the same travel rules as everyone else — no passport, no international flight!

The government said the move was a response to what it called Israel’s actions against Palestinians, which Israel denies. Tourism is a major part of the Maldivian economy, but the decision still passed unanimously in parliament. Israel has since advised its citizens to leave the Maldives and avoid traveling there.

Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu is opening up about the political issues she cares about most — and she’s not holding back. In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Liu said the causes that matter most to her include “climate, election things, Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, ICE protests… a ton of that stuff.” She added that “more empathy needs to happen, for sure.” Liu — whose family immigrated to the United States — also said she believes it’s important to recognize the flaws in government and stand up for immigrant rights, noting that she has attended protests and spoken out about issues affecting marginalized communities. The comments come as more athletes use their platforms to speak out on politics — a trend that continues to spark debate over whether sports stars should stay out of politics or use their influence to push for change.
