News Briefing
What’s going on?
Flydubai confirmed that a flight from Dubai to Israel diverted to Saudi Arabia after a reported cockpit incident. The airline stated that the plane experienced a significant altitude drop due to a confrontation between the pilots, prompting an emergency alert.

What’s happening?
The Supreme Court has permitted the Trump administration to revive its controversial third-country deportation policy, allowing certain migrants to be deported to countries where they have no previous connections. This ruling opens the path for broader enforcement of immigration policies that have been a point of contention since their inception.
In comparing headline framings, NBC News states, “Supreme Court allows Trump’s ‘third country’ deportation policy,” while The New York Times headlines it as, “Supreme Court Allows Rapid Third-Country Deportations, for Now.” NBC’s framing focuses on the legal authority granted to the former administration’s policy, emphasizing its nature. Conversely, The New York Times highlights the urgency and temporality of the decision, indicating a possible ongoing debate around the policy’s implications. This distinction illustrates how different angles can shape public perception of the same judicial ruling. Coverage analyzed: NBC News | The New York Times | CNN | The Guardian

Erik ten Hag has lost the faith of large swathes of the Manchester United dressing room following a string of ‘concerning’ signings.
The Dutchman is under huge pressure following United’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle on Saturday, which followed a 3-3 draw with Galatasaray three days earlier.
After an impressive debut campaign last year, United have started the season horribly and have already lost ten matches in all competitions.
The Red Devils take on Chelsea at Old Trafford on Wednesday, and anything but a win could prove fatal for the under-pressure Dutchman.
But it may already be too late for Ten Hag, with the Manchester Evening News reporting that he’s lost the faith of parts of the dressing room as well as the backroom staff.

As well as doubts over his man-management and tactics, the biggest complaint is over the quality of Ten Hag’s signings.
Ten Hag spent £85m on Antony, who he worked with at Ajax. The Brazilian hasn’t scored or assisted this term.

In January, Wout Weghorst was signed as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo but managed just two goals in 28 appearances.
The MEN says there have been raised eyebrows at the signing of Mason Mount, who also hasn’t scored or assisted this term.
Perhaps the most surprising criticism is the signing of Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta.
United spent £72m on the Dane, and though he’s yet to score in the Premier League, he’s netted five times in the Champions League.
