WATCH: A Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner (D-ABPQ) sustained substantial damage after its nose landing gear collapsed while parked at the gate at Frankfurt Airport.

The incident led to the cancellation of today's LH450 to LAX service as airport and airline teams assess the extent of the damage. Video from the scene shows the aircraft resting on its nose after the front landing gear unexpectedly gave way while stationary.

No injuries have been reported, but a technical investigation into the cause of the collapse has been opened.

Speaking to the American Chamber of Commerce in Riga-representatives of American companies doing business in Latvia. Most Americans are America first, but not America alone as Trump has increasingly positioned us.

Global trade and cooperation, respect for our allies, reliable relationships are vital to our security and prosperity.

The SE Asian media model - "choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it."

[Dylan Byers @DylanByers]

NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss:

"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes.

Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over.

In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.

Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it.

The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters.

To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less."

Compensation for passengers, all laid out in a tidy little image...

[UK Civil Aviation Authority @UK_CAA]

Did you know that if you arrive over 3 hours late at your destination, and it's the airline's fault, you could claim up to £520 per person.

Always remember to contact your airline in the first instance.

Know your rights before you travel: https://t.co/TG4Uyf7Ytb

[chrizap @chrizap]

Apparently passengers in the UK...have rights. And the airlines have a duty of care to look after these inconvenienced passengers...

[UK Civil Aviation Authority @UK_CAA]

Was your flight recently delayed?

Remember, the airline has a duty of care to you, and you may be owed compensation.
