 Soccer fans file complaint with EU over FIFA World Cup ticket prices Soccer fans across Europe have formally filed a complaint with the European Commission, targeting FIFA over what they say are excessively high ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup. Football Supporters Europe (FSE), working with consumer advocacy group Euroconsumers, claims the global soccer governing body abused its market dominance to impose ticket costs that would not be acceptable in a competitive marketplace. The complaint highlights a range of prices that were first released in December, from $140 for the lowest-tier group stage games to $8,680 for the final, with the cheapest final tickets at $4,185. FIFA is using dynamic pricing for the first time for the tournament, which is set to be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

 Runway safety system failed to alert before Air Canada jet hit fire truck at LaGuardia, killing two pilots  An Air Canada jet collided with a Port Authority fire truck at New York City’s LaGuardia Airport Sunday night, killing both pilots and injuring dozens, after a runway safety system designed to track surface movement failed to alert controllers.

Investigators are reviewing cockpit voice recordings, tower communications, and shift change procedures, with NTSB officials noting that major a...

 Kuwait calls Iran’s Strait of Hormuz closure an economic blockade, warns of global domino effect Kuwait has condemned Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz, calling it an economic blockade that threatens global markets and could trigger a domino effect across supply chains. Sheikh Nawaf al-Sabah, CEO of Kuwait Petroleum Corp., said the move is “holding the world’s economy hostage” and announced that Kuwait has declared a force majeure on oil delivery contracts, cutting production to domestic needs only. He warned that the full restoration of Gulf oil output could take months as wells remain shut in Kuwait and neighboring countries. Al-Sabah emphasized that the crisis extends beyond oil, affecting petrochemicals for food packaging and fertilizer shipments, which could reduce agricultural output in parts of the developing world by up to 50%. He noted that tanker and cargo traffic through the strait has plummeted, disrupting roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Iran’s recent missi...
