A Delta Air Lines passenger jet on Tuesday struck an Air Canada aircraft being towed to its arrival gate just after it landed at Los Angeles International Airport, both airlines said.
Delta Air Lines Flight 7, slated to depart for Tokyo, carrying 275 passengers and 15 crew members, struck an Air Canada passenger jet with its left wingtip, a Delta spokesperson told Fox News Digital. No injuries were initially reported.
"While taxiing at Los Angeles International Airport, a Delta aircraft made contact with an Air Canada aircraft," a Delta statement said. "Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people, and we apologize to our customers for the experience and delay in their travel."

Pharming Group N.V. (NASDAQ:PHAR) announced on September 11 that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Joenja for children aged 4–11 with activated PI3K delta syndrome, or APDS, who weigh at least 27 kilograms. APDS disrupts immune function.
The new 40 mg and 50 mg tablet strengths expand dosing options for Joenja, or leniolisib. The pediatric regimen also includes 70 mg twice daily for children weighing at least 45 kilograms. Pharming Group N.V. (NASDAQ:PHAR) expects the new strengths in October through its existing distribution and patient-support network.
The expansion arrives as the revenue mix shifts. Second-quarter Joenja revenue increased 40% year over year to $17.9 million, while RUCONEST revenue declined 10% to $72.3 million. Total revenue fell 3% to $90.2 million. Joenja's growth is substantial, but the larger franchise still determines much of the overall result.
Pharming Group N.V. (NASDAQ:PHAR) can bring the pediatric doses to market through an established commercial platform. Distribution relationships and patient support are already in place, which could allow additional sales without duplicating the infrastructure required for an entirely new product.
The opportunity is to spread those capabilities across more eligible patients while maintaining support for existing users. Incremental revenue could improve commercial efficiency, although pediatric servicing costs will still matter.

Travel credit cards offer points and miles rewards on your spending, which you can use toward travel-related redemptions, such as flights, hotel stays, and car rentals. You'll often earn the highest rewards rate on travel purchases with a travel credit card. However, many also offer boosted rewards on everyday purchases like groceries, gas, and more.
When you're comparing travel credit cards, it's useful to separate them into two distinct types: general travel rewards cards and co-branded airline and hotel credit cards.
With a general travel credit card, you'll have a number of flexible redemption options when you're ready to redeem your points and miles.
Travel card issuers generally have their own travel portals, like Chase Travel or American Express Travel, where you can book flights, hotels, rental cars, and more. These programs also have a number of travel transfer partners to which you can directly transfer points or miles. For example, American Express Membership Rewards points transfer to Delta SkyMiles at a rate of 1:1.
The flexibility of general travel cards means you can use your rewards to travel with different airlines or hotel brands. Each time you're ready to book, simply shop around between the portal or partners and compare the best options for your specific travel plans.

The full footage is even uglier.
Nearly three months after Dustin Poirier was arrested for public drunkenness at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, an extended, 28-minute police body-camera video has been released, showing everything that happened after "The Diamond" was placed in handcuffs.
The initial footage showed an intoxicated and highly agitated Poirier confronting Delta employees before challenging the responding officer to a fight. When the officer pulled out his taser, Poirier eventually backed down and allowed himself to be arrested without a physical altercation.
At first, Poirier appeared to calm down and even complimented the officer for how he handled the volatile situation. However, the former interim UFC Lightweight champion's mood quickly shifted as officers transported him through the airport police station.

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) CEO Scott Kirby told CNBC he wants to expand United's presence at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, returning to the congested airport through a new partnership with JetBlue Airways, American's former partner, as early as next year.
Kirby said he is also preparing for how artificial intelligence will change the airline industry. CNBC reported that Kirby, who was fired by American Airlines a decade ago when he served as its president, has floated megamerger ideas with both Delta and American over the past year but has so far been rebuffed, with antitrust experts skeptical the combinations could happen. He said he remains uninterested in acquiring a smaller carrier. United currently ranks as the second most profitable U.S. airline behind Delta, with American a "distant third."
United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:UAL) has a concrete opportunity to strengthen its position at JFK through its partnership with JetBlue. Re-entering one of the country's most valuable and slot-constrained airports would give United incremental access to a market where it has struggled to compete. The partnership could also weaken American's competitive position by pulling JetBlue away from its previous relationship with American.
United also has the financial strength to pursue an ambitious growth strategy. The airline ranks as the second-most profitable U.S. carrier behind Delta, giving CEO Scott Kirby greater flexibility to invest in network expansion, technology, and other long-term opportunities. That financial position gives United more room to pursue transformative moves without relying solely on defensive strategies.
Kirby's comments on M&A also suggest that United wants to pursue scale selectively rather than chase every available acquisition. He has expressed little interest in buying a smaller carrier while discussing the possibility of much larger combinations with Delta or American. That approach could help United focus its capital and management resources on deals that could materially strengthen its competitive position.

Valentina Shevchenko has suffered an injury that could keep her out for up to a year, forcing the UFC to strip her of the women's flyweight **** le. As a result, Natalia Silva and **** Cong will now battle for the vacant 125-pound belt in the main event of UFC 332 on October 3 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
The promotion announced the news during Saturday's UFC Paris broadcast. Now, Shevchenko's longtime coach, Pavel Fedotov, has provided some insight into the injury that forced the former champion out of the event.
According to Telegram Ushatayka, Fedotov revealed that "Bullet" was originally scheduled to face Silva at UFC 332. However, ligament damage to her shoulder and back forced the Kyrgyzstani fighter to withdraw.

With the recovery expected to take a considerable amount of time, the team has opted to vacate the belt rather than hold up the division. Fedotov also made it clear that the goal is for Shevchenko to return and immediately fight for the **** le once she is healthy again.

Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ: GILD) has no major concerns about its HIV franchise until the next decade. That hasn't kept the pharmaceutical company from preparing for the loss of exclusivity for its legacy HIV therapies. Gilead has spent heavily on its pipeline, and that's paying off.
The company has received three Food and Drug (FDA) approvals over the past four months, and not coincidentally, its shares are up more than 21% so far this year, nearly doubling the S&P 500 index's rise. The most recent approval was on Aug. 27 for Bixlenvo as a daily pill to treat virologically suppressed adults with HIV.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Prior to that, on June 24, Trodelvy received two new approvals to treat triple-negative breast cancer. On May 22, the FDA granted Hepcludex accelerated approval to treat chronic hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection in adults without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis.
Despite the stock's rise and all the good news on the pipeline front, Gilead may be underrated. There are three reasons why I feel that is the case.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Last year, wide receiver Dohnte Meyers was just hoping to get established in the Canadian Football League.
Now, he's on the Cincinnati Bengals' 53-man roster to start the regular season.
"He has earned his way, that is for sure," coach Zac Taylor said. "He just continued to make plays over and over again. We weren't dialing stuff up for him. That is how you make it, really. When the opportunity comes your way, you have to make the most of it."
Meyers started his career at FCS Presbyterian College on an academic scholarship. After having success at that level, he transferred to Division II Delta State University. Meyers did enough at Delta State to earn an invite to Atlanta Falcons rookie camp in 2023, but that was only three days and a few reps here and there. He couldn't get his foot back in the door in the NFL at the time, so he went to every workout for every league he could find.
Meyers ended up paying his way to work out in the Canadian Football League.

SCARDOVARI, Italy (AP) — Italian fishermen for two years incinerated most of the invasive Atlantic blue crabs caught in the Po River Delta south of Venice. Few Italians had an appetite for the alien predator blamed for decimating their prized Manila clams.
While experiments in containment continue, including the release of tens of thousands of octopus predators, the industry's response has been shifting to find new markets for the crustaceans. The strategy is already salvaging the livelihood of some fishermen and, some hope, may even rehabilitate the much-maligned crab's image in Italy.
Like other members of his local cooperative, second-generation fisherman Federico Zago saw his income crash after the crab invasion. The Polesine Fishermen's Cooperative Consortium's revenues fell 75% to 15 million euros ($17 million) in 2024 and 2025; the cooperative's active members also shrank from 1,500 to 850.
"We needed to change strategy, and create an opportunity from this disaster," said Paolo Mancin, the cooperative's president.
Desperate, they pivoted to exporting the unwanted crabs, with the aim of preserving the Manila clams — invasive themselves — and mussels that created decades of prosperity in the shallow lagoons of Veneto and Emilia Romagna.

Delta Air Lines is betting big on artificial intelligence (AI) — and the technology could eventually change not just how the airline operates, but how much passengers pay to fly.
In a recent discussion, Delta CEO Ed Bastian said AI could ultimately improve the airline's profitability by as much as 50%, largely by helping the company make faster, smarter decisions and reduce costs. Bastian described the opportunity as potentially moving Delta's profit margin from around 10% to 15%, which would amount to billions of dollars.

S&P 500 companies that maintained their diversity, equity and inclusion commitments performed as well as or better than their peers that rolled back DEI commitments in the face of political pressure, University of California, Berkeley public policy scholar Jacob Grumbach posited in a recently published report.
Grumbach determined the health of the companies by looking at both company revenue and abnormal stock returns to measure company performance relative to the broader market trends. Both metrics indicated that organizations that retained DEI programs performed as well as or better than their competitors.
These findings come contrary to the current corporate logic du jour, which maintains that DEI programming presents a legal risk under the current presidential administration.
"Markets Do Not Punish Firms for Maintaining DEI," published on Aug. 14, highlighted the performance of companies such as Apple, Cisco, Costco, Delta Airlines, Dollar Tree, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft and Pfizer, which maintained their DEI commitments — compared to companies such as Citigroup, Dollar General, IBM, Target and Walmart, which all scaled back.

Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) delivered its strongest commercial momentum in several years during fiscal Q2 2026, with growth extending across HIV, oncology, and liver disease. Total revenue increased 10% year over year to approximately $7.8 billion, while product sales rose 8% to $7.6 billion.
Yet, the income statement tells a considerably less flattering story. Gilead (NASDAQ:GILD) reported a substantial quarterly loss after recording more than $11 billion in acquired research and development expenses. Investors may look at the earnings as a strengthening commercial business, but not without an expensive attempt to build its next generation of growth.
Gilead's (NASDAQ:GILD) underlying business performed strongly during the quarter. Product sales excluding Veklury increased 10% to $7.6 billion, demonstrating that growth was driven by the company's core portfolio rather than its declining COVID-19 treatment. HIV remained the principal contributor, with sales rising 12% to $5.7 billion. Biktarvy revenue increased 7% to $3.8 billion, while Descovy sales climbed 48% to $967 million. Yeztugo, Gilead's (NASDAQ:GILD) twice-yearly injectable HIV-prevention medicine, generated $232 million as its launch continued to gain traction.
It is significant to note that growth in the quarter was not limited to HIV. Liver-disease sales increased 10% to $877 million, supported primarily by higher demand for Livdelzi and treatments for chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis delta. Livdelzi alone generated $167 million, more than doubling year over year.
Trodelvy also strengthened Gilead's (NASDAQ:GILD) oncology case. Driven by higher demand, sales of the breast-cancer treatment increased 26% to $457 million. Although oncology remains much smaller than HIV, Trodelvy's growth provides evidence that Gilead (NASDAQ:GILD) is developing another meaningful commercial franchise. Management responded to the quarter by raising the lower end of its 2026 product-sales guidance. The company now expects 30.1–30.4 billion, compared with 30.0–30.4 billion previously. It also increased its product-sales forecast excluding Veklury to 29.8–30.1 billion, up from 29.4–29.8 billion.

Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD) and TeraWulf (NASDAQ: WULF) are two of the top AI stocks riding the data center wave. Both neocloud companies develop and operate facilities that serve hyperscalers, but their stock returns have been a little different this year.
TeraWulf is up by 36%, while Applied Digital has gained just 11%. Is that gap just a fluke, or is it a sign of things to come? Here's what investors should consider.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Gigawatts are the name of the game when it comes to ****** yzing neocloud and colocation providers that offer IT capacity to hyperscalers. The more gigawatts a company has, the more revenue it can make.
Applied Digital has secured 1.4 gigawatts of contracted critical IT load, which comes to roughly $36 billion in total contracted lease revenue. Most of these contracts have 15-year terms, including two deals for 300 megawatts at the company's Delta Forge 1 and Polaris Forge 3 sites.

The second-quarter 13F from Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRKA)(NYSE:BRKB) reached the SEC on Aug. 14, and it shows what CEO Greg Abel did with the conglomerate's $299 billion U.S. stock portfolio during his second full quarter running the company. Much of the portfolio sat still: Apple, American Express, and Coca-Cola -- three of the four biggest positions -- didn't move by a share. And the filing's largest addition, about $17 billion of Alphabet, extended a purchase Alphabet had already disclosed back in June.
The new information sat in two smaller lines. Berkshire cut its Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) stake by about 30.2 million shares, a reduction of 5.9% worth about $1.7 billion at quarter-end prices. That was the largest dollar amount Berkshire subtracted from any position.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
And it added about 17.5 million shares of Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), growing that stake 44% to 57.3 million shares, worth about $5.4 billion at the end of June.
A bank out, an airline in. What makes the pairing worth a closer look is the history on each side of it.

MUNCIE — The city of Muncie needed a high school football game more than it ever has.
On Friday, Aug. 21, the Muncie Central Bearcats and Delta Eagles answered the call by treating their fans to an instant classic — a 23-22 victory by the Bearcats that came down to the final second, literally.
With both communities still reeling from the calamitous flooding that swept through the area in recent weeks, the two teams fought their tails off to put a brilliant rivalry game together and give everyone who saw it a sense of unity in times of hardship.
"Everybody's going through stuff right now, but we had however long this game was to just be entrenched in it and go play this football game," Muncie Central coach Kyle Buresh said. "At the end of the day, that was a fun one that we all put on a show for our community tonight. Both teams did, really proud of the way both teams handled themselves, competed extremely hard but competed with first class."
Central clinched its victory in the very last second of the game. The Bearcats trailed 22-16 with 23 seconds left in the game and used their final timeout before a third-and-goal play. Junior quarterback Mason Ferguson was sacked on third down, forcing him and his teammates to hurry to the line of scrimmage and try to get one last snap off.

Rafael dos Anjos is back.
Dos Anjos will return from a two-year-long layoff to face Alexander Hernandez at UFC 332 (Paramount+) on Oct. 3 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. A person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the booking to MMA Junkie but asked to remain anonymous, as the promotion has yet to make an official announcement. ESPN Brasil was first to report the news.
Dos Anjos (32-17 MMA, 21-15 UFC), a former UFC lightweight champion, hasn't competed since injuring his knee in a TKO loss to Geoff Neal in October 2024 – his third setback in a row. The 41-year-old had to undergo three surgeries to repair a torn ACL and meniscus.
Hernandez (18-9 MMA, 10-8 UFC) is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Rafa Garcia at UFC Fight Night 274 in April. Prior to that, the 33-year-old was on a four-fight winning streak – including finishes of Chase Hooper and Diego Ferreira.

VANDENBERG **** E FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) — Five news reporters and two members of the military who were invited to an event at Vandenberg **** e Force Base in California were briefly detained at gunpoint by security officers who thought they were gate crashers, according to local news reports.
The incident happened Monday ahead of an invitation-only groundbreaking for a new training facility for missile operators at the federal airfield near Santa Barbara, California. Reporters from Noozhawk and KEYT were among those detained, and both outlets published articles detailing the detainment.
In a statement Wednesday, a **** e Launch Delta 30 Public Affairs spokesperson said base protocols will be reviewed.
"Vandenberg takes both installation security and our responsibility to invited media seriously. The journalists involved were accessing the installation at our invitation, and the installation commander has ordered a full review of the media coordination processes," the statement said.
The reporters and military members were part of a convoy being escorted onto the base by uniformed public affairs staff in a government minivan when they were suddenly ordered out of their vehicles with their hands up, according to news reports.

Crossroads Capital LLC, an investment management firm, published its second-quarter 2026 investor letter. A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. The Fund increased by 11.5% net of fees and expenses during the quarter. Since its founding, the fund has compounded at a net rate of 17.9%. By the end of June 2026, the fund's overall non-delta-adjusted gross and net exposures were 115.0% and 86.9%, respectively. In Q2, the S&P 500 rebounded 14.9%, its best since 2020, as market uncertainty eased. The oil market showed a transition, with Brent crude prices fluctuating. AI and semiconductors thrived, with 25% earnings growth. The quarter underscored a key principle: risk is priced continuously but resolved discontinuously. Small-cap benchmarks hit new highs, though the Magnificent 7 saw modest gains. In Q2, market activity focused on adjustments rather than facts, capitalizing on high option premiums. In addition, please check the Fund's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Crossroads Capital highlighted FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NASDAQ:FTAI). FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NASDAQ:FTAI) is an aviation company that owns, acquires, and sells aviation equipment. On August 19, 2026, FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NASDAQ:FTAI) closed at $210.91 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $21.66 billion. FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NASDAQ:FTAI) posted a one‑month return of -6.95%, while its shares gained 38.10% over the past 52 weeks.
Crossroads Capital stated the following regarding FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NASDAQ:FTAI) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"FTAI Aviation Ltd. (NASDAQ:FTAI) entered the book eighteen months ago as a special situation, as a short seller campaign had marked the stock into the low $80s. However, it has since graduated to "emerging compounder." Today. FTAI is the leading independent MRO franchise for the CFM56, the most widely-flown engine on earth. It runs a vertically-integrated platform that manufactures "green time" (remaining usable life) by tearing down older engines and rebuilding them with proprietary PMA parts and used serviceable material into modules that swap in days rather than months. In a supply-constrained aftermarket, that speed can be the difference between an airline flying or remaining idle. FTAI captures the demand for that speed with high-margin Aerospace Products revenue layered on top of leasing, with the whole model migrating towards capital-light through its Strategic Capital vehicles.
The first quarter, reported in late April, showed the 2026 guidance of $1.625B in segment EBITDA was table stakes: Adjusted EBITDA came in at $325.6M and Aerospace Products revenue more than doubled with segment EBITDA up 70%. And 270 CFM56 modules were refurbished, up 96% year-over-year. The second quarter, reported late July, saw the Aviation Leasing segment guidance cut from $575M to $475M as part of the company's shift toward a more ***** et-light business model.

In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Crossroads Capital highlighted AST ***** eMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS). AST ***** eMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) is a US-based satellite communication company developing a ***** e-based cellular broadband network designed to connect directly to smartphones through its BlueBird satellites. On August 19, 2026, AST ***** eMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) closed at $66.43 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $25.85 billion. AST ***** eMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) posted a one‑month return of 12.25%, while its shares gained 47.69% over the past 52 weeks.
Crossroads Capital stated the following regarding AST ***** eMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"AST ***** eMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:ASTS): Q2 picked up exactly where Q1 left off. As we've stated before, the transition we laid out last quarter—from R&D stage startup to operational scaleup—went from "underway" to "unmistakable" over the last three months. It charged us a toll along the way, however: The BB7 satellite launched on April 19 but was then lost when Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket failed during deployment. The failure was cleanly attributable to Blue Origin, not to AST; it amounted to a ~$125 million write-off (partially covered by launch insurance, and claims have been filed). AST's response on the May call was the right one, citing its 33 satellites (now 42, as of this writing) in advanced stages of production. So, yes, BB7 was a loss, but it's moving on to the next launch.
First-quarter results in May landed with modest revenue from gateways and government milestones, guidance reaffirmed, and. roughly $3.5B of cash. More important, the FCC granted commercial authorization for ***** eMobile service in the United States, covering a network of up to 248 satellites. So the regulatory question for the home market is now answered. Block 1 satellites also set a 98.9 Mbps peak-speed record to unmodified smartphones, with Block 2 expected to nearly double it..."
