Air Canada Restructures, Cuts 400 Management Jobs

                    Air Canada cuts about 400 management jobs, says decision not related to flight attendants strike. Air Canada has announced the elimination of roughly 400 management positions, representing about one per cent of its total workforce. The airline described the move as a “difficult decision” following an extensive internal review aimed at streamlining operations and improving efficiency.

UK Blunder: Convicted Asylum Seeker Accidentally Freed from Prison

Ethiopian national Hadush Kebatu was meant to be sent to an immigration detention centre from HMP Chelmsford ahead of a planned deportation on Friday but Justice Secretary David Lammy said the 41-year-old is now "at large" in London.

An Ethiopian asylum seeker convicted of sexually assaulting a teenage girl and a woman in Britain has been mistakenly released from prison, sparking outrage and a nationwide manhunt.

Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was sentenced in September to 12 months behind bars for the assaults, which had already ignited angry protests outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, where he had been housed with other asylum seekers.

Instead of being transferred to an immigration detention centre for deportation, Kebatu was wrongly freed from Chelmsford Prison. Justice Secretary David Lammy said he was “appalled” by the error and confirmed that an urgent investigation has been launched. Police are now working to track him down, with the Metropolitan Police taking charge of the search.

The case has reignited tensions over immigration policy and detention procedures, with critics calling the release a “serious failure” of the justice system. Families of victims have expressed anger, saying the blunder has left them feeling betrayed and unsafe.

Authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant while the search continues.
