The comments came after the New York Times on Friday reported that Boeing recently discovered that the flight simulators airlines use to train pilots could not adequately replicate conditions that played a role in the 737 MAX crashes.

Red Bull Quicksand returned to Margate, UK on May 18 to challenge runners with its treacherous series of obstacles. The brutal one-mile beach race saw competitors battling through sand to make it to the finish.Last year, the course presented runners with trenches, rollers and whopping sandcastles, with the tallest climb a staggering 23 feet tall – almost the height of two double-decker buses. Open to a bigger field of 750 participants, the 2019 edition brought even bigger, tougher obstacles, including a new loose sand tabletop obstacle.Participants compare the experience to "a bad dream you can't run away from", "a really evil high-intensity workout" and to "running in high heels".

Waving green scarves and chanting "solidarity for women", an Argentine film crew and several dozen campaigners turned the Cannes red carpet into a protest on Saturday as they showcased a documentary looking at the highly-charged issue of abortion. Unveiled during the cinema festival on the French Riviera, "Que Sea Ley", which translates as "Let It Be Law", follows the battle to pass a bill legalizing abortion in Argentina, where terminations are currently only permitted in cases of rape, or if the mother's health is at risk. The bill gained widespread support but was rejected by the South American country's Senate last year, and the issue has sparked mass protests by people on both sides of the debate. Pro-choice supporters usually wear green handkerchiefs at demonstrations, while those who are against abortion carry blue ones. After inviting several campaigners for legalized abortion to the premiere, the documentary's director Juan Solanas walked the red carpet alongside women waving scarves, with some even decked out in green gowns and make-up. The film's Cannes screening coincides with a fresh round of debate in the United States, where Alabama's governor this week signed a bill to ban nearly all abortions, even in cases of rape and incest. Solanas, the son of renowned Argentine filmmaker Fernando "Pino" Solanas, told Reuters ahead of Saturday's premiere that he was firmly on one side of the debate. He admitted his biggest challenge was balancing points of view from both sides. "It makes me ashamed that the law does not exist," he said.
