Air travel disruptions at Newark Liberty International Airport dragged on into Monday, capping a weekend plagued by hundreds of delayed and canceled flights. The ongoing turmoil has prompted Senator Chuck Schumer to demand a thorough probe into the causes of the widespread travel meltdown.
By Monday morning, FlightAware data showed that approximately 200 flights were delayed and over 130 were canceled. The FAA attributed many of the issues to both staffing shortages and weather conditions, noting that incoming flights were facing delays of up to four hours, while departures were averaging an hour of lag time. Sunday’s numbers were even worse, with more than 430 delays and 140 cancellations.

Members of the Pelerg Yerushalmi staged a protest in Jerusalem against the arrest of IDF draft evaders, blocking the intersection of Sarei Yisrael and Jaffa Streets and disrupting light rail operations. Initially, protest organizers announced plans to demonstrate near Route 4, but later changed the location, catching police forces off guard. Simultaneously, near Route 433 close to Modiin, police stopped a bus transporting another group of activists en route to the Jerusalem protest. The demonstrators briefly blocked the road after disembarking but dispersed shortly afterward.

Four boats capsized in a sudden storm at a tourist spot in southwestern China, killing 10 people, state media said Monday. More than 80 people fell into a river when strong winds hit the scenic area in Guizhou province late Sunday afternoon, state broadcaster CCTV said. The boats capsized after a sudden rain and hail storm on the upper reaches of the Wu River, a tributary of the Yangtze, China’s longest river. In one video shared by state media, a man could be seen performing CPR on another person, while one of the vessels drifted upside down. Initial reports said two tourist boats had capsized, but state media said on Monday that four boats were involved. The other two boats had no passengers, and the seven crew members were able to save themselves, CCTV said.

Chinese sellers have quickly outwitted Trump’s tariff master plan, by “washing” their products in third countries. With tariff negotiations at an impasse, Chinese imports remain loaded with 145 percent U.S. levies. After they were issued, Xi Jinping’s government slapped American goods with reciprocal 125 percent import duties.
In a bid to contravene Trump’s tariffs, sellers in the Asian mega economy have started shipping goods to third party countries to conceal their genuine provenance. The process is known as “place-of-origin washing.”

NYC Mayor Eric Adams revealed on Monday that the city is allocating $1.6 million to roll out a new security measure for roughly 500 bodegas throughout New York City: emergency alert devices known as “SilentShields” that allow workers to discreetly notify the NYPD during a crisis.
The funding, issued through a special emergency grant, will go to the United Bodega Association. The initiative focuses on bodegas located in neighborhoods with higher crime rates, aiming to better protect employees and patrons from violence or theft.
Adams explained that the SilentShields system will be tied directly to surveillance cameras inside the bodegas and linked to NYPD networks. This setup will enable officers to view incidents as they occur and respond more swiftly to threats.

A historic agreement involving rare earth minerals was recently signed between Ukraine and the Trump administration, reinforcing broader defense efforts initiated under the Biden years, which included ramped-up deliveries of air defense systems to help Ukraine push back against Russian aggression.
As part of this evolving effort, a Patriot missile defense system originally located in Israel is now being refurbished to be sent to Ukraine. At the same time, talks are underway among NATO partners to coordinate additional Patriot system deliveries from Germany or Greece, according to four individuals who spoke with The New York Times.
