Il Fatto Quotidiano: Caos voli nel Regno Unito, un guasto blocca le partenze dagli aeroporti di Londra e Manchester: ritardi e cancellazioni I voli in tutto il Regno Unito stanno subendo ritardi e cancellazioni. I disagi sono causati da un problema tecnico al controllo del traffico aereo, che ha interessato diversi aeroporti, tra cui Heathrow e Gatwick. La risoluzione del problema, fanno sapere le autorità, richiederà “del tempo”. Gli aeroporti di Londra sono i più colpiti: i decolli si sono ridotti moltissimo da quando, nel primo pomeriggio di oggi, è stato segnalato il guasto. La maggior parte dei voli in partenza dagli aeroporti di Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted e Londra dalle 14 in poi risultano in ritardo o non sono decollati. Problemi anche all’aeroporto di Manchester. Il servizio di controllo del traffico aereo Nats ha comunicato di essere “impegnato a indagare su un problema tecnico che sta causando alcuni disagi alle partenze dei voli”. La causa del guasto, che risiedeva nel suo sistema di elaborazione dei voli, è stata identificata: “I nostri ingegneri sono sul posto e stanno lavorando con urgenza per ripristinare le normali operazioni il prima possibile. Siamo consapevoli del disagio per i viaggiatori e ci scusiamo”.

Chaos reigns in the United Kingdom, a fault is blocking departures from London and Manchester airports: delays and cancellations. Flights across the United Kingdom are experiencing delays and cancellations. The disruptions are caused by a technical issue with air traffic control, which has affected several airports, including Heathrow and Gatwick. Authorities say resolving the problem will require “time.” London’s airports are the worst hit: departures have been drastically reduced since the fault was reported in the early afternoon today. Most flights departing from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and London airports after 2pm are delayed or have not taken off. Problems also occurred at Manchester Airport. The air traffic control service Nats has communicated that it is “committed to investigating a technical issue that is causing some disruption to departures.” The cause of the fault, which resided in its flight processing system, has been identified: “Our engineers are on site and working urgently to restore normal operations as soon as possible. We are aware of the inconvenience for travelers and apologize.” Article: Chaos Flights in the United Kingdom, a malfunction blocks departures from London and Manchester airports: delays and cancellations comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano. #theUnitedKingdom #London #Manchester #Heathrow #Gatwick #Stansted #ManchesterAirport #IlFattoQuotidiano

Agi: La notte degli Oasis a Venezia, fan in delirio AGI - Un arrivo da vere rockstar, fuori da ogni schema e tutto dedicato ai fan. Gli Oasis hanno letteralmente infiammato il Lido di Venezia in occasione del red carpet che ha anticipato la proiezione dell'attesissimo docufilm "Don't Look Back in Anger" sulla loro storica reunion. Contro ogni previsione e rigido protocollo festivaliero, Liam e Noel Gallagher hanno scelto di spiazzare tutti: le due star hanno infatti evitato l'approdo all'Hotel Excelsior, dove li attendeva una fitta schiera di fotografi, e hanno snobbato il tradizionale inizio del red carpet dal lato dedicato ai fotografi. I due fratelli di Manchester sono invece spuntati a sorpresa direttamente dall'ingresso principale della Sala Grande, scortati dal direttore della Mostra, Alberto Barbera. Da lì, si sono lanciati in un vero e proprio bagno di folla. Ad accoglierli, migliaia di fan in delirio che hanno intonato a squarciagola i loro brani più iconici: un coro unanime da "Wonderwall" a "Live forever" ha fatto da colonna sonora all'arrivo dei due ragazzi, che si sono donati con generosità agli appassionati che da giorni li attendevano con le loro maglie accampati sul red carpet confermando la loro attitudine da icone assolute del britpop. Il passaggio dai fotografi e l'ingresso in sala Solo al termine di questo caloroso e caotico abbraccio popolare, i Gallagher hanno concesso un rapido e sfuggente passaggio davanti agli obiettivi dei fotografi ufficiali, prima di sparire all'interno della sala per la proiezione. Una mossa ribelle e imprevedibile così come lo stile che da sempre li accompagna. Oasis's night in Venice, fans in ecstasy AGI - A true rockstar arrival, outside of any pattern and entirely dedicated to the fans. Oasis literally ignited the Lido of Venice during the red carpet that preceded the premiere of the highly anticipated documentary film "Don't Look Back in Anger" about their historic reunion. Against all predictions and strict festival protocol, Liam and Noel Gallagher chose to surprise everyone: the two stars avoided landing at the Excelsior Hotel, where a large contingent of photographers awaited them, and snubbed the traditional red carpet start on the photographer’s side. The two brothers from Manchester unexpectedly appeared directly from the main entrance of Sala Grande, escorted by the director of the Film Festival, Alberto Barbera. From there, they launched into a true crowd-surfing experience. Thousands of fans in delirium greeted them, singing their most iconic songs out loud – a unanimous chorus of “Wonderwall” to “Live forever” served as the soundtrack to the arrival of the two boys, who generously gave themselves to the enthusiasts who had been waiting for them for days with their jerseys camped out on the red carpet, confirming their attitude as absolute icons of Britpop. The Passage to the Photographers and Entrance into the Hall Only at the end of this warm and chaotic popular embrace did the Gallagher brothers allow a quick and elusive passage in front of the official photographers’ lenses before disappearing inside the hall for the screening. Such a rebellious and unpredictable move, as is their style that has always accompanied them. #Venice #DontLookBackinAnger #NoelGallagher #theExcelsiorHotel #Manchester #SalaGrande #theFilmFestival #AlbertoBarbera #Wonderwall #Britpop #theHallOnly #Gallagher

Has anyone been to an event at Co-op Live or the Etihad Campus in Manchester recently? I'm trying to work out if the walking route from the city centre is open for events as we went to try it yesterday on a day when there no events, and it was barricaded off, with no obvious way of entry around the building works around the stadium.

Wir schreiben das Jahr 2026 und algorithmische Konzernmedien wie TikTok (das in China selbst verboten ist…) verhetzen & radikalisieren leichtgläubige Menschen. So erhält die blinde Influencerin Kitty Hinde aus Großbritannien derzeit Beschimpfungen & Todesdrohungen, weil ein anonymer TikTok -Account behauptet hat, sie habe ihren Freund verlassen, weil er „hässlich“ gewesen sei. Und sich dann von einem neuen Partner beklauen lassen. Nichts davon stimmt & es zeigt einfach nur wieder, dass algorithmische Konzernmedien sehr gezielt die Einsamkeit, Dummheit und Bosheit von Menschen bespielen, um Dauer-wütende Thymoten aus ihnen zu machen. Habe vor Jahren Facebook, Instagram und X hinter mir gelassen & spüre die Verbesserung der Lebensqualität, Urteils- und Dialogfähigkeit deutlich. #Medienethik #TikTok #HassundHetze #Sexismus #Ableismus #KittyHinde #UK #Influencerin #Manchester

A trip to a “new to me” hospital can be turned into an adventure by going by train(s) plus walking and seeing new places. I loved these three buildings. Two were clearly old cinemas or theatres but it brings me such joy to see them preserved long after their original purposes had faded. #manchester #urmston #architecture

I had my first curry on the Curry Mile in the late seventies. This bigoted stripling imagines that (a) the Curry Mile is the result of a recent influx of immigrants, and (b) that banning curry houses would be a great selling point in Greater Manchester. Just in case you were wondering how in tune Rupert Lowe's Peculiar Party is with ordinary people and knowledgeable of Greater Manchester. #UKPolitics #Manchester

The #GreaterManchester Mayoral election votes will be counted today. It looks like an easy win for the #LabourParty's #BevCraig. That's a big reversal of the #ReformUK win expected 6 ,months ago when Labour blocked Burnham's return as MP. But there is a v depressing part of this poll. It shows 100% of Conservative voters giving their second preference to Reform. That's the result I'll be watching. Do Tory voters really ALL prefèr Farage's mob to a moderate Labour candidate? #ukpol #Manchester
