    Get you up to speed: Protests as crowd try to force alleged sex attacker out of flats | News UK

    Hundreds of protestors gathered outside a block of flats on Tormusk Road in Castlemilk, Glasgow, following allegations of a rape involving a resident. Police were present to manage the situation, which included attempts by three individuals to gain entry to the building and resulted in the evacuation of residents by 8pm.

    Police Scotland has confirmed that a 50-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with an assault on an officer during the Castlemilk protest. Ongoing investigations are examining incidents of vandalism and dangerous behaviour that occurred amidst the unrest, alongside further inquiries into the rape allegations.

    Police Scotland has confirmed that several arrests were made following protests in Castlemilk, stating, “Violence, disorder, hate crime and threatening behaviour that poses a risk to safety is not legitimate protest.” Ongoing investigations aim to address the incidents involving vandalism and public safety concerns, with further legal action expected against those involved.

    What remains unclear — The identity of the alleged sex attacker involved in the Glasgow incident has not been disclosed.

    Get you up to speed: Flight instructor was ‘going through hard time’ when he jumped from plane | News World

    Leandro Bertazzo, a 42-year-old flight instructor, reportedly jumped from a Cessna C-150 during a training flight near Toledo, Argentina, on July 4. His body was found in a field shortly after the incident, and emergency services confirmed his death at the scene.

    The Federal Justice of Córdoba is currently investigating the incident, with officials examining all circumstances, as witness accounts suggest a deliberate act. Leandro Bertazzo had flown earlier that day without issues and had been applying for a position with a major airline, though his family disclosed he had recently received psychiatric treatment.

    Eduardo Álvarez, director of the Flying Parrot Flight School, expressed shock and stated, “There is no way to understand what happened,” following the incident involving Leandro Bertazzo, who allegedly jumped from a plane during a training flight. The Federal Justice of Córdoba is investigating the circumstances, with officials examining all evidence as local authorities confirm the aviation community is reeling from the tragedy.

    What remains unclear — Investigators have not specified the reasons behind the instructor’s reported “difficult time” or the nature of his psychiatric treatment prior to the incident.

    The flight instructor who jumped to his death from a plane in Argentina was going through a ‘difficult time’ before he died.

    An unnamed 22-year-old student had been training with her instructor, 42-year-old Leandro Bertazzo, over Toledo, Argentina, on July 4, when he reportedly opened the window of the Cessna C150 plane and jumped.

    Leandro’s father told the director of the Flying Parrot flying school, Eduardo Alvarez, that his son was going through a ‘difficult time’ before the tragedy.

    Alvarez added that Leandro’s family told him he had a consultation at a psychiatric hospital a week before his death.

    Leandro lived with his parents in Cordoba, Argentina, and was single with no children.

    He’s been remembered as a ‘wonderful person’ with a ‘great smile and clear outlook on life’.

    Story from Jam Press (Pilot Mysteriously Jumps) Pictured: The plane that was reportedly being flown by Leandro Andr?s Bertazzo. A 42-year-old pilot has mysteriously fallen to his death during a flight as a young trainee was forced to land the plane. Leandro Andr?s Bertazzo, 42, reportedly opened the door and jumped from the aircraft while in mid-air. The qualified commercial pilot was conducting a training flight with the 22-year-old woman when he allegedly jumped. The student pilot was forced to take control and land the Cessna C-150 light aircraft safely on her own. According to the student, named Rosario, Leandro told her ?you know what you have to do? and ?keep going forward?. The pilot, who worked for Flying Parrot Flight School in C?rdoba, Argentina, then removed his headphones, set aside his mobile phone, and unfastened his seatbelt. Rosario said he then opened the cabin door ? described as extremely difficult in flight due to air pressure ? and jumped from an altitude of about 820 feet (250 metres). The aircraft was flying near the rural area of Toledo, south of C?rdoba, when the incident occurred. The student immediately radioed for help, followed emergency procedures and landed the undamaged plane at the airfield without further incident. School director Eduardo ?lvarez, who received the alert from the student, said she was in shock but acted with ?great level-headedness?. She initially thought her instructor might have deployed a parachute but soon realised he had not. Eduardo and colleagues took off to search and located Leandro?s body in a field within 15 minutes. The emergency services confirmed his death at the scene. The instructor had flown earlier that day with another student on a re-training flight with no issues. Colleagues described him as cheerful, professional and impeccably presented, with no visible signs of distress. He had worked at the school for four years after a decade of training there and had previously flown in Chile, as reported by NeedToKnow. Eduardo, who called Leandro a friend, said: ?He arrived, we greeted each other with a kiss and a hug as always? We are all in shock. ?There is no way to understand what happened.? He added that Leandro had been applying for a position with a major airline. It later emerged that Leandro had reportedly received psychiatric treatment, a detail known only to his family. No colleagues had detected any warning signs during physical and mental health checks required every six months. The Federal Justice of C?rdoba is investigating the incident, which has stunned the local aviation community. Officials are examining all circumstances, although witness accounts point to a deliberate act. The student was unharmed and the aircraft sustained no damage, including to the door.

    Alvarez added: ‘He was an excellent professional, always cheerful, and greatly admired by all his students.’

    The student’s account of the incident states that she watched Bertazzo plunge to his death. While she previously thought he had deployed a parachute, she soon realised that was not the case.

    Despite witnessing such a harrowing moment — and having only limited experience in flying — the student raised the alarm before landing the plane safely and unaided at Coronel Olmedo Airport, which is based in Cordoba and commonly used by flight schools for training pilots.

    Before he fell to his death, Leandro took off his headphones, arranged his personal belongings on board, took off his seatbelt and opened the door to jump.

    Reports said his body was found in a nearby field 20 minutes later.

    It’s also been reported that at one point during the flight Mr Bertazzo told her: ‘You know what to do, keep moving forward.’

    An investigation into the instructor’s death is ongoing with officials saying the circumstances surrounding the accident are so unusual they are unable to explain how it might have happened.

    Very sad to hear that Wendy Williams has been diagnosed with Frontotemporal dementia, the same condition Bruce Willis suffers from. Appeared on her show many times over the years and she’s a fabulous character & superb broadcaster. Wish her and her family all the best.

    Palestinians are human beings who deserve to live in freedom and joy. That is why hundreds of thousands of us have exercised our right to protest. We will be here as long as it takes until there is an immediate ceasefire, an end to the occupation, and a just & lasting peace.
