DALENA REPORTERS

Canada's border agency says a cyberattack was not the cause of a partial systems outage that affected the country's biggest airports on Tuesday, and an investigation is underway. Toronto Pearson Airport and Montréal-Trudeau International Airport experienced delays at customs, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said. Services have since been restored. Travellers were processed manually, but resources were made available to minimize wait times, the agency told CTV News. The extent of the outage was unclear. Officials at Toronto's Pearson Airport said inspection kiosks at Terminals 1 and 3 were impacted, but are now operational. Passengers may experience longer-than-normal wait times at customs, the airport posted on X. Diana Lisney, a traveller arriving from Dublin, Ireland, with her partner, says people are disgruntled waiting in excessively long lines. "One man behind me [said] he will never set foot in this godforsaken airport again," sh

  This is the shocking moment a man is seen on the ground between the train and the platform after falling through a gap in the train.  A rescue mission was launched at Sittingbourne station in Kent around 4pm on June 18.  The footage shows four officials peering down the gap, seemingly calling for help while instructing bystanders to keep their distance.     The person who filmed the incident said: "I was sitting at the train station when I heard all this commotion. People all started crowding around, I took a closer look and could see a bloke down the side of the train." He further described the scene adding: "He looked like he wasn't moving and he wasn't making any noise and I could see blood coming out of his head."     It remains unclear how the man ended up in such a precarious position, but he was eventually helped back onto the platform and was conscious at the time. A representative from South East Coast Ambulance Service confirmed: &qu

The incumbent governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf had implemented the repealed law by dethroning Alhaji Aminu Ado Bayero as Emir of Kano to reinstall the dethroned 14th Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi.
