The Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland Resort experienced a sudden shutdown, leading to an evacuation of guests. This incident, captured in a video shared online, has drawn fresh attention to the iconic attraction’s technical issues and long-standing controversies. Evacuation of Guests Following BreakdownThe unforeseen malfunction happened on a hectic day at Disneyland Park. A video posted by a visitor revealed that attendees were instructed to leave their boats onto emergency evacuation pathways. They were subsequently guided through a different path that featured a steep staircase close to the ride's last incline. Cast members made sure the process was seamless, leading guests to the exit platform securely. Video from the evacuation provided an unusual look at the ride’s mechanics, featuring an animatronic depiction of Captain Jack Sparrow. The New York Post stated that the ride was promptly fixed, and operations restarted soon after the event. A History of Technical ChallengesPirates of the Caribbean, a focal point of Disney’s attractions, sometimes encounters technical issues. These closures, although not rare, frequently hinder the experience for visitors. Even with its age, the ride continues to be one of the most favored attractions at Disneyland Resort, attracting thousands of guests each day. The New York Post pointed out that this latest problem was among several that occurred in recent months. Disney has put in considerable work to reduce interruptions, yet technical failures continue to be an issue for older attractions. Controversial Legacy of Pirates of the CaribbeanAside from technical issues, Pirates of the Caribbean has ignited considerable discussion in recent times. The attraction, launched in 1967, has experienced several modifications to match shifting cultural standards. In 2018, Disney substituted the notorious bride auction scene of the ride with female pirate animatronics. Although certain fans applauded the update, others condemned it as an unwarranted shift away from the ride’s nostalgic appeal. The New York Post stated that the alteration split opinions among park visitors, with some voicing worries about eliminating historical aspects of the attraction. In 2023, more controversy arose as social media users labeled the ride as unsuitable. Some referred to it as “rapey,” pointing to the actions of male animatronics towards female characters. These allegations revived demands for the attraction's elimination, igniting extensive discussion regarding its significance today. Balancing Nostalgia and Modern StandardsNotwithstanding these disputes, Pirates of the Caribbean still draws devoted supporters. The New York Post highlighted that its charm is found in its engaging narratives and traditional layout. Nonetheless, managing nostalgia alongside shifting cultural norms continues to pose a challenge for Disney.

The controversial Australian has played only one match in more than two years because of injury but that has not stopped him being an outspoken presence on social media during a difficult few months for the sport. First it was announced in August that Sinner had failed two doping tests in March but was cleared of fault, while in November Swiatek was handed a one-month ban for a failed test caused by contaminated medication. Feels good getting these consecutive days training in the bank man.... Wrist re construction and back out here... blessed..................Without failing any drug tests 🙂↕️🙏🏽 be proud kygs doing it the right way 😩😂 — Nicholas Kyrgios (@NickKyrgios) Kyrgios has been particularly vociferous in his criticism of Sinner, who could yet face a ban after the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed the finding of no fault or negligence in his case. At a press conference ahead of the Brisbane International, Kyrgios told reporters: “I have to be outspoken about it because I don’t think there’s enough people that are speaking about it. I think people are trying to sweep it under the rug. “I just think that it’s been handled horrifically in our sport. Two world number ones both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. It’s a horrible look. “The tennis integrity right now – and everyone knows it, but no one wants to speak about it – it’s awful. It’s actually awful. And it’s not OK.” Kyrgios initially underwent knee surgery in January 2023, returning to action in June of that year, but he played only one match before pulling out of Wimbledon due to a torn ligament in his right wrist. He has not played a competitive match since, and it appeared doubtful that he would be able to return, but the 29-year-old will make his comeback in Brisbane this week. Kyrgios will take on France’s Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard in singles, while he will also team up with Novak Djokovic in a blockbuster doubles pairing. “It’s good to be back,” said Kyrgios. “I honestly never thought I’d be back playing at this level. Even entering an event like this, preparing, doing all the right things. “I’m really excited to just go out there and play, just play tennis. I saw Novak in the gym, playing doubles with him, a lot to be excited about that I’m able to get out there and compete again.” Asked whether he could get back to the same level that saw him reach the Wimbledon final in 2022, Kyrgios said: “I still believe I can, whether or not that’s factual or not. There was another player who was like, ‘You have to be realistic’. That’s not how I am. I always back my ability.” The new tennis season is already under way, with the United Cup team event beginning on Friday. Great Britain, who are weakened by the absence of Jack Draper through injury, begin their campaign against Argentina in Sydney on Monday before facing hosts Australia on Wednesday. That could pit Katie Boulter against fiance Alex De Minaur, with the pair having announced their engagement last week. “Obviously some incredible news from our side, but I think we kind of wanted it to die down a little bit before matches started,” said Boulter of the timing. “My private life is out in the public a little bit at the moment. But, in terms of the stuff that I’m doing on the court, I’ll be doing the best I can every single day to stay in my own little bubble.” Billy Harris has taken Draper’s place, with the British number one facing a race against time to be fit for the Australian Open because of a hip problem. Emma Raducanu is the sixth seed at the ASB Classic in Auckland and will begin her season with a match against Robin Montgomery, while Cameron Norrie takes on another American, Learner Tien, at the Hong Kong Open.A lounge filled with joeys: Wildlife rescuers brace for influx of animals injured in Grampians blaze
IT’S been a hell of a year for travel. The Sun team has ventured all over the globe, hunting out the best bargain getaways that will save our readers dosh, ticking off the lesser-known attractions that are loved by locals and sailing on record-breaking ships. We share our favourite moments of 2024 . . . LISA MINOT Head of Travel ICON OF THE SEAS WHILE my last trip of the year was a lazy few days in Lanzarote , the start of 2024 saw me clock up 13,000 steps in just eight hours as I explored the world’s biggest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas. Heading to the luxury liner’s home port of Miami , I was among the first to experience this leviathan of a ship. READ MORE ON TRAVEL Longer than the Shard or Eiffel Tower are tall, at full capacity it can accommodate 7,600 guests and 2,350 crew across 20 dazzling decks. The $2billion giant has seven pools — including the largest at sea — as well as 40 places to eat and drink spread across eight distinct neighbourhoods. New is the AquaDome, sitting proud at the front of the ship. This multi-deck glass marvel is a tranquil oasis by day, with floor-to-ceiling ocean views and a 55ft waterfall tumbling into a pool that by night features aerial acrobatics and daring dives. Most read in News Travel But the highlight of my visit was the Crown’s Edge — a terrifying walk-the-plank adventure where you’re strapped in and then step out 16 decks above the ocean across a series of tiny platforms, before reaching the final spot where the floor gives way and you’re flying over the sea and back on board. While the ship has been sailing the Caribbean in 2024, it will be joined by sister liner Star of the Seas in August next year, giving cruisers yet more to enjoy. See royalcaribbean.co.uk SOPHIE SWIETOCHOWSKI Assistant Travel Editor DEVON THIS may surprise some readers but my most cherished trips this year were not on my bucket list – although an oyster-fuelled adventure along Australia’s eastern coast was epic. Instead, they were the ones that didn’t involve hopping on a plane. The South West of England, with its jaw-dropping coastlines, is where I can truly unwind. No airport stress. No time-strict schedule. No “where shall we go for dinner tonight?”. Just a cosy self-catered stay in a quiet seaside village where you can snuggle down with a book, potter to the local chippy or whip up a feast of fresh seafood caught by the local fishermen early that morning. I’m in this neck of the woods at least once or twice a year (partly thanks to local friends) but hadn’t ever visited the peaceful town of Lynton on the Exmoor coast until a few months ago. It’s got buckets of charm and the dog-friendly apartments at Tors Park offer unbeatable views of a windswept bay. I took up running earlier this year and my dog Dora and I relished the chance to explore some of the most scenic coastal paths in the UK – with a few pub pit-stops along the way, too, of course. For those planning to visit Cornwall , the 18-mile Camel Trail is a must. If you’re not a runner, walk it or hire a bike from one of the rental stores in Wade-bridge, close to the trail. CAROLINE McGUIRE Head of Travel (Digital) PARIS IT has been a few years since I paid a visit to Paris and after a weekend break this August, I’m delighted to say the city is more exciting than it has been in years. Yes, the traditional hotels and brasseries are still there, but so are many cool and innovative new bars, shops and more. Staying in the Molitor on the outskirts of town was a prime example — it’s a posh place but not old-school-Paris stuffy, with an amazing art deco pool and a lively rooftop bar and restaurant. We were there to attend the annual summer music festival Rock En Seine, with the UK producer Fred Again headlining on the night we attended, and the buzz of the twenty and thirty-something Parisians was that of a city that knows it has its mojo back. Following some of their recommendations, we headed into the previously overlooked 11th and 18th arrondissements on our second night — the cool, Shoreditch-like parts of the city. We dined on fusion tapas at Pantobaguette where the DJ is as good as the food, and Bambino, a chic restaurant-cocktail bar where records line the walls. We topped off our trip with a visit to one of Paris’s legendary flea markets on the edge of the city, Marche aux Puces de la Porte de Vanves, for extremely affordable vintage jewellery and homeware, that, thanks to the Eurostar , we could lug back home without extra baggage charges. HOPE BROTHERTON Travel Reporter THAILAND I SPENT most of 2024 stomping through European cities such as Stockholm , Vienna , Ljubljana and Florence . But while Europe has my heart, I also left a slice in Khao Sok National Park after a dream trip to Thailand with TUI in March. Specifically, I’ll never forget the moment I came face to face with an elephant at Elephant Hills. The luxury tented jungle camp has its own elephant sanctuary where holidaymakers can meet these magnificent creatures in a safe and protected environment. Visitors prepare a medley of snacks such as bananas, sugar canes and pineapple wedges for the elephants to eat before watching them bathe and lounge in the safety of the sanctuary. The whole experience feels almost otherworldly. Elephant Hills puts on other activities, too, such as a jungle trek, a kayak tour along the Sok River and an excursion to Cheow Lan Lake to visit the Lake Camp, where you can paddleboard, kayak and swim. And nothing felt strenuous because I spent my free time relaxing in a rather bougie glamping tent. It had an outside porch with a hammock and wicker rocking chairs as well as an en-suite bathroom. There was also a huge dining area where guests gathered to eat meals and a small pool to cool off in the heat. Put simply, my trip was heaven on earth and I don’t think it will be topped for a long while. KARA GODFREY Deputy Travel Editor AMSTERDAM FOR me, 2024 was a mix of long-awaited bucket-list destinations — and revisiting old favourites. In South Korea , I stocked up on skincare and make-up by Renowned brand K-beauty, while on safari in Kenya I got up close with lion cubs, and in Hawaii I marvelled at the beaches . But one destination where I was reminded of how fantastic the place is was Amsterdam . Returning to the Dutch city after ten years, I escaped the crowds by checking out its Noord district, which is a quick, free ferry ride from the main train station. It’s here that I found a fantastic bar scene — set to be the next big thing, or so I’m told — as well as a thriving art community and even the neighbourhood’s own “beach” behind a trendy warehouse restaurant. Dubbed the Brooklyn of Amsterdam, this is a place that makes you feel cooler than you really are, while surrounded by red-brick galleries and giant murals.

It has become my favourite lesser-known place to suggest friends visit.Nokia Corporation: Repurchase of own shares on 27.12.2024

The Latest: UnitedHealthcare shooting suspect contests his extradition back to New YorkMONTREAL — A childhood friend of the Quebec man killed in a Florida boat explosion earlier this week says one of the victim’s sisters was among the other six passengers injured in the blast. Thi Cam Nhung Lê says she grew up with Sebastien Gauthier in Quebec City and considered him her best friend. Lê says Gauthier’s older sister was also on the boat in Florida’s Broward County when it exploded and she was taken to a hospital. She says Gauthier’s family was in Florida to celebrate the holidays and that his sudden death feels “unimaginable.” Video posted on social media Monday shows the vessel engulfed in flames following the explosion, with a thick column of black smoke billowing into the sky. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has confirmed that Gauthier died of his injuries, saying a preliminary investigation shows the 37-foot vessel exploded after its engines were started. Lê remembers Gauthier as someone who was always smiling and says she is waiting for answers about what led to her friend’s death. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 28, 2024.

The fast-casual Mediterranean-style restaurant chain has been winning over not just customers, but investors as well. Through expansion and new menu offerings, it has been able to continually report solid numbers, propelling its share price to new heights. Recently, the company reported its latest earnings numbers, and one metric stood out to me. It highlights the business's impressive growth, and it's a great sign that the company is going in the right direction. Cava's same-restaurant sales came in at 18.1% For a restaurant chain, generating single-digit comparable sales growth is a good goal, especially amid today's economic conditions as consumers are cutting back on spending. But you wouldn't know the economy is facing those challenges if you looked at Cava's numbers. That's because for the most recent period, which ended on Oct. 6, the company reported its comparable restaurant sales growth was an impressive 18.1%. By comparison, Chipotle Mexican Grill reported comparable restaurant sales growth of 6% for its most recent quarter (ended on Sept. 30). And the numbers look even better for Cava if you compare its results to the global beast that is McDonald's -- for its September quarter, global comparable sales declined by 1.5%. Comparable restaurant sales are a key metric for restaurants as they tell investors how well the business is doing when factoring in locations that were open a year ago. This excludes the positive impact new restaurant openings would have on the top line. But this also works to the advantage of companies with smaller footprints such as Cava, which may target high-growth areas first and as they become larger and spread out, their growth rate may begin to gradually come down. Nonetheless, it's a good indicator of Cava's growth and the potential it has to continue generating strong numbers as demand looks solid. A fast growth rate has made Cava a stellar investment to own A big reason Cava is a hot stock to own this year is because of its growth potential. The company continually opens more stores. At the end of the most recent quarter, the company had 352 restaurants, up from 290 a year ago. Its goal is to have 1,000 locations by 2032. Cava's growth rate has been impressive in comparison to other restaurant chains , and with such ambitious targets ahead, that trend is likely to continue in the years ahead. CAVA Operating Revenue (Quarterly YoY Growth) data by YCharts Is Cava's high valuation a problem? As of Monday's close, Cava's stock was up a staggering 219% as there has been no shortage of bullishness around the business of late. While that's great for shareholders, people who are looking at buying the stock for the first time may feel as though they've missed the boat. Cava Group's sales grew by nearly 40% last quarter to $243.8 million. Its net income rose at an even faster rate of 163%, coming in at just under $18 million. While that is impressive, it still results in a fairly modest per-share profit of just $0.16. Cava's stock closed at $137.24 on Monday, putting its price-to-earnings multiple at more than 330. Even based on analyst projections, it's trading at over 277 times next year's profits. These are steep multiples and investors would be justified in thinking twice about whether the stock is a good buy at its current levels because with such high multiples, you are effectively paying for a lot of future growth. While Cava may still be a good investment to hold for the long term, investors should also temper their expectations as it could be a bumpy ride ahead. Although this is a fast-growing company, its extremely high valuation means that there is virtually no margin of safety with the stock and it could be vulnerable to a sell-off under weaker market conditions.
