777 gbt.com South Korea lifts president's martial law decree after lawmakers reject military ruleUnited Airlines flight 5782 landed at the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport Tuesday morning, marking the first official arrival of the Embraer 175 and a phasing out of the CRJ-700 for at least one commercial carrier. SkyWest Airlines, the regional carrier that operates air traffic in and out of Aspen for United, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, announced the transition away from longtime commercial aircraft CRJ-700 and the acquisition of 21 E-175s through the end of 2026. The E-175 has a 93-foot, 11-inch wingspan, which fits the current 95-foot wingspan restriction at ASE, the three-letter identifier for the local airport. The 70-seat CRJ-700 has a 76-foot, 3-inch wingspan. The E-175s slate for ASE have been configured to hold 70 seats, 12 of which are first class. The aircraft that arrived is one of six E-175s that SkyWest converted to the ASE-specific subfleet. Nineteen other E-175s, on order for United, will join the fleet of six over the next couple of years. The six converted aircraft will be repainted soon, while the aircraft on order will arrive with updated colors. “The six converted aircraft along with the 19 new deliveries will give us a fleet of 25 ASE-capable E175s in the end state. The six converted aircraft will get repainted during the normal paint refresh cycle,” Mark Weithofer, managing director of domestic network planning for United Airlines, wrote in an email. “The first delivery is scheduled to close this Thursday (Dec. 5) and the second delivery is scheduled to close the following Thursday (Dec. 12). Both aircraft will be available for the peak holiday schedule, so we’ll have new-livery E175s operating in ASE soon.” The Tuesday morning flight was one of two scheduled, but three daily flights are scheduled through Dec. 19, Tomcich said, principal of aviation consulting firm Tomcich Travel and a consultant to the local stakeholder group Fly Aspen Snowmass. After Dec. 19, the E-175s will fly to Aspen more frequently, Tomcich said. He was a passenger on the inaugural flight and said the 12 first-class seats were full and about half full in the rest of the plane. The flight also was the first commercial Part 121 flight into ASE to be flown using the new curved path (NextGen) technology. It utilized the new "RNAV M Rwy 15" procedure, an approach recommended by the Flight Ops Safety Task Force in 2023. Andy Bigelow is a part-time resident of Aspen and a commercial pilot for another airline. He was a passenger on flight 5782. “It was a smoother flight and a more comfortable airplane with more room inside,” he said after the flight. Airport Director Dan Bartholomew said the airport reinforced the concrete pads on four of the airport’s eight parking positions in anticipation of the E-175’s landing gear. They also brought out new ramps for passenger embarking and disembarking. The airport welcome a new class of commercial aircraft, the Airbus 220 100s or 300s, following reconstruction of the runway in a few years. Whether those aircraft fly into ASE one day is up to the commercial airlines serving the Aspen market. The phase-out of the CRJ-700s and the search for a newer model of commercial aircraft for ASE has been the source of much controversy in recent years, culminating with the Nov. 5 election and two ballot items related to the transformation of the airport. In the election, a vast majority of county voters opted to proceed with the county's direction to transform the airport with a wider, relocated runway and greater separation between the runway and taxiway. Those projects will lead to full Airport Design Group III status, which would allow planes with a wingspan up to 118 feet to use the airport.Guest Opinion: The fights over culturally divisive issues in schools?

Many receivers have entered the transfer portal for Alabama, which opens up a spot for Mbakwe to potentially get some snaps on offense against Michigan. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has been impressed with what he has seen in Mbakwe so far in practice. "It is pretty cool to see him switch positions and seeing him lock into another area of his game," Milroe told the media after practice on Saturday from Tampa. Mbakwe played on both sides of the ball in high school at Clay-Chalkville when he led his team to a 6A state title over Saraland. In that game, Mbakwe beat now-teammate Ryan Williams. The ReliaQuest Bowl between Alabama and Michigan is set for 11 a.m. from Tampa on Dec. 31.

US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was unanimously backed by his caucus on Tuesday to continue his role in the next Congress. It marks the fifth re-election as party leader for Schumer, a 74-year-old New York senator, who has led the Democrats in the upper chamber since 2016. Next year, however, he will head the minority party after Republicans managed to unseat a handful of senators and take a vacant seat, securing a 53-strong majority. Schumer said he was “honored and humbled” by the trust placed in him by his colleagues to lead them “during this crucial period for our country.” Schumer pledged to work with Republicans whenever possible. “As I have long said, our preference is to secure bipartisan solutions wherever possible and look for ways to collaborate with our Republican colleagues to help working families,” he said in a statement posted on Meta’s Threads social media platform. “However, our Republican colleagues should make no mistake about it, we will always stand up for our values,” he added without elaborating. The announcement appeared to receive a mixed reaction at best, with numerous Threads users flocking to Schumer’s thread to vent their anger. The discontented users accused the senator of being unable to provide the Democratic caucus with strong enough leadership and urged him to step down before he leads “us over another cliff.”None

He stopped short of acknowledging that Moscow was responsible. The Kremlin said that air defense systems were firing near Grozny, the regional capital of the Russian republic of Chechnya, to deflect a Ukrainian drone strike as the plane attempted to land on Wednesday. Putin apologized to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev “for the fact that the tragic incident occurred in Russian airspace.” The Kremlin also says Russia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are jointly investigating the crash site near the city of Aktau in Kazakhstan. Israel detains the director of one of northern Gaza's last functioning hospitals, Palestinians say DEIR AL BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Gaza's Health Ministry says Israel’s army has detained the director of one of northern Gaza's last functioning hospitals. The announcement on Saturday came after health officials said Israeli troops stormed the hospital on Friday and forced many staff and patients outside and told them to strip in winter weather. Israel’s army didn’t respond to questions about the hospital director. It denied it had entered or set fire to the complex but acknowledged it had ordered people outside. It said it was conducting operations against Hamas in the area. The military repeated claims that Hamas militants operate inside Kamal Adwan Hospital, which officials there have denied. Israeli airstrikes hit a Yemen airport as a jet with hundreds onboard was landing, UN official says UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The top U.N. humanitarian official in Yemen says Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen’s main airport as a civilian Airbus 320 with hundreds of passengers on board was landing this week. He says a U.N. delegation led by the head of the World Health Organization was waiting to leave on Thursday as two Israeli airstrikes hit the airport in the capital of Sanaa. Julien Harneis told U.N. reporters on Friday that the most frightening thing about the airstrikes wasn’t the effect on him and about 15 others in the VIP lounge at the international airport. Rather, it was the destruction of the airport control tower as a Yemenia Airways plane was taxiing in after touching down. Trump asks Supreme Court to delay TikTok ban so he can weigh in after he takes office President-elect Donald Trump has asked the Supreme Court to pause the potential TikTok ban from going into effect until his administration can pursue a “political resolution” to the issue. Trump's request Friday came as TikTok and the Biden administration filed opposing briefs to the court. Oral arguments are scheduled for Jan. 10 on whether the law, which requires TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company or face a ban, unlawfully restricts speech in violation of the First Amendment. The brief said Trump opposes banning TikTok at this junction and “seeks the ability to resolve the issues at hand through political means once he takes office.” Bloodied Ukrainian troops risk losing more hard-won land in Kursk to Russia KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Five months after their shock offensive into Russia, Ukrainian troops are bloodied by daily combat losses and demoralized by the rising risk of defeat in Kursk. Some want to stay in the region at all costs. Others question the value of having gone in at all. Battles are so intense that commanders are unable to evacuate their dead. Lags in communication and poorly timed operations have cost lives and commanders say they have little way to counterattack. The overstretched Ukrainians have lost more than 40% of the territory they won in the lightning incursion that seized much of Kursk in August.

US to send $1.25 billion in weapons to Ukraine, pushing to get aid out before Biden leaves office WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say the United States is expected to announce it will send another $1.25 billion in military assistance to Ukraine. It's part of a push by the Biden administration to get as much aid to Kyiv as possible before leaving office on Jan. 20. Officials say the large package of aid includes a significant amount of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the HAWK air defense system. It also will provide Stinger missiles and 155 mm- and 105 mm artillery rounds. The officials say they expect the announcement will be made on Monday. They spoke on condition of anonymity to provide details not yet made public. Former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who instituted economic reforms, cremated in New Delhi NEW DELHI (AP) — Manmohan Singh, the former Indian prime minister widely regarded as the architect of the country’s economic reform program, has been cremated after a state funeral. The veteran leader, who was also credited for a landmark nuclear deal with the United States, died late Thursday at age 92. Singh’s body was taken Saturday to the headquarters of his Congress party in New Delhi, where party leaders and activists paid tributes to him and chanted “Manmohan Singh lives forever.” Later, his body was transported to a crematorium ground for his last rites as soldiers beat drums. A mild-mannered technocrat, Singh was prime minister for 10 years until 2014. Sweden embarks on a sober search for more cemetery space in case of war GOTHENBURG, Sweden (AP) — Burial associations in Sweden are looking to acquire enough land for something they hope they’ll never have to do. And that's to bury thousands of people in the event of war. The search follows new crisis preparedness guidelines from the country's civil defense agency and the military. The issue is seen in a new light after Russia's invasion of Ukraine led formerly neutral Sweden to join NATO. Sweden and Finland sent out updated civil preparedness guides in November with instructions on how to survive in war. The guides are similar to those in Denmark and Norway, though they don't mention Russia by name. Olivia Hussey, star of the 1968 film 'Romeo and Juliet,' dies at 73 LONDON (AP) — Olivia Hussey, the actor who starred as a teenage Juliet in the 1968 film “Romeo and Juliet,” has died, her family said on social media. She was 73. Hussey died on Friday, “peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones,” a statement posted to her Instagram account said. Hussey was 15 when director Franco Zeffirelli cast her in his adaptation of the William Shakespeare tragedy. “Romeo and Juliet” won two Oscars and Hussey won a Golden Globe for best new actress for her part as Juliet, opposite British actor Leonard Whiting. Decades later, the pair brought a lawsuit against Paramount Pictures over nude scenes in the film they said they were coerced to perform. The case was dismissed by a Los Angeles County judge in 2023.
