The United States women’s national soccer team stepped off their charter plane as conquering heroes after landing in America on Monday. A day after capturing the Women’s World Cup in France on Sunday, the squad’s plane touched down at Newark Airport, and they made sure to savor each moment of their triumphant return. The team members disembarked from their plane in a joyous mood. 🥳

Footage has emerged showing the moment a helicopter collided with a tourist plane over the Italian Alps, moments after take-off, killing seven. Soccorso Alpino, the Italian Mountain rescue team, released the video of the mid-air collision that happened on January 25 near the Rutor glacier in the Aosta Valley, some 50 miles northwest of the city of Turin. The footage, from two GoPro cameras, found at the crash site near the ski resort of La Thuile, shows the chilling final moments of the two aircraft in flight. #losers

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday an extradition bill which sparked the territory's biggest political crisis in decades was 'dead', admitting the government's work had been a 'total failure.' But she stopped short of saying the legislation had been withdrawn completely, prompting activists to dismiss her comments as 'another ridiculous lie' and call for more mass rallies. The bill, which would allow people in Hong Kong to be sent to mainland China to face trial, sparked huge and at times violent street protests and plunged the former British colony into turmoil. In mid-June Lam responded by suspending the bill, but that move failed to mollify critics, who began calling for her resignation. #retract
