Police called to airport after Ryanair crew member announces Tel Aviv is in Palestine
Ryanair boss Eddie Wilson has apologised after a flight attendant said that Tel Aviv was in Palestine, causing an angry backlash from Israeli passengers. A row broke out after a Ryanair cabin crew member made the announcement in both English and Italian on a flight from Bologna to Tel Aviv on June 10. Mr Wilson said the company was "100% satisfied that it was an innocent mistake with no political overtones or intent". But passengers complained and passengers "continued to be abusive" even after the cabin crew apologised. According to the BBC, police had to be called to meet the aircraft when it landed. Some Israeli media commentators called for Israelis to boycott the airline if an apology wasn't made. In a statement to the Jewish Chronicle, Ryanair said: "A junior crew member on this flight from Bologna to Tel Aviv (10 June) made a routine descent PA mistakenly saying ‘Palestine’ instead of ‘Tel Aviv.’ "This was an innocent mistake with no intent and was immediately corrected and apologized for by the senior crew member on board." Calling the Israeli city Palestinian is seen as highly provocative as it is considered to be denying the recognition of the Jewish state. But Mr Wilson said he has written to the Israeli ambassador for Ireland, adding that Israel was an "important partner" for Ryanair. The airline is also the second-largest in Israel. Mr Wilson said: "We plan to invest in Israel to grow traffic and connectivity both for Israelis travelling to Europe and also to bring much-needed inbound tourism to Israel." Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Simon Wiesenthal Center associate dean, said: "How would Ryanair react if their flight attendant on a flight to Dublin announced multiple times that passengers would soon be arriving in the UK? "Everyone is entitled to their opinions but not to alternative facts."

Iceland earthquake live: Evacuees given brief window to collect belongings as country braces for volcanic eruption
Residents of Grindavik were allowed back briefly on Monday to collect their belongings amid the risk of a volcanic eruption. Seismic activity in southwestern Iceland decreased in size and intensity on Monday, but the risk of a volcanic eruption remained significant, authorities said, after earthquakes and evidence of magma spreading underground in recent weeks. Almost 4,000 people were evacuated over the weekend as authorities feared that molten rock would rise to the surface of the earth and potentially hit a coastal town and a geothermal power station. However, yesterday police in Suðurnes decided to give residents until 4pm to collect necessities from their homes before evacuating the town again. Earlier, shock images showed roads split apart near Grindavik as the country braced for a volcanic eruption following a series of earthquakes and with evidence of magma spreading underground. Experts said a nine-mile river of magma running beneath the peninsula was still active, putting Grindavik at risk.
