Callum Kerr was travelling on a Jet2 flight from Cyprus to Manchester when he was taken ill

A man who was restrained on a Jet2 flight by fellow travellers after he allegedly assaulted another passenger and cabin crew, has died.

Police were called to reports of a passenger attacking another customer and a staff member on the Jet2 flight from Cyprus to Manchester and being "disruptive and aggressive" in the early hours of Monday.

On landing at Manchester Airport, officers used handcuffs to detain Callum Kerr, 35, of Warrington, but quickly found he was "unresponsive" and performed CPR on him before taking him to hospital, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

Kerr, a bare-knuckle fighter, died on Tuesday. An investigation into his death is under way.

Paying tribute, Kerr's loved ones said: "Callum was a family man, father to three beautiful young children, a lover of sport and with a heart of gold."

GMP said it had made a mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) due to police coming into contact with Kerr prior to his death.

The force said officers were called shortly before 02:30 BST on Monday to reports of a man behaving aggressively towards passengers and crew on an inbound flight travelling from Larnaca to Manchester, and an assault of a passenger and a member of cabin crew.

Officers boarded the aircraft on its arrival and located Kerr, who was being restrained by passengers and aircrew at the rear of the plane.

'Witnessed violence'

GMP added: "Officers used handcuffs to detain him and quickly identified he was unresponsive, through the provision of first aid, and began with CPR."

Kerr was taken to hospital where he died the next day.

Ch Supt Mike Allen said: "An investigation is now under way to establish what happened during the flight and our specialist officers have been keeping them with all the information we know so far.

"I know there were many people on the flight who witnessed the violence and disruption prior to officers' arrival.

"We know passengers and aircrew worked to detain the man to bring the incident to an end.

"Our detectives are investigating this to understand the full circumstances."

"Support continues to be provided to the man's family and loved ones during this time," he added.

The IOPC said officers were being treated as witnesses, "rather than being investigated for their conduct".

It said its investigation would look at the actions and decision-making of the five officers who had boarded the plane, to understand the events surrounding the man's death.

The watchdog said it had begun gathering and reviewing evidence, including video footage from body worn cameras and initial statements from the officers.

Amanda Rowe from the IOPC said the investigaton would "focus on the actions of police, while a separate GMP investigation is considering the actions of the members of the public involved".

"We have been in contact with Mr Kerr's family to make them aware of our role and will keep them, and GMP, as our investigation progresses," she added.

A Jet 2 spokesperson said: "We would like to offer our sincere condolences to the customer's friends and family.

"As investigations are ongoing, it would be inappropriate for us to make any further comment at this time."

WASHINGTON, June 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to wrap up its current term in the coming days, with several major cases yet to be decided, including three involving Donald Trump's far-reaching assertion of presidential powers, two important election-related cases and one involving a crackdown by states on transgender athletes.

The court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, has seven disputes still to be resolved, and has set Monday as its next day to issue rulings. Supreme Court terms begin in October and typically wrap up around the end of June, sometimes spilling over into early July.

The Trump cases center on his moves last year to fire a member of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board of Governors and a member of the Federal Trade Commission, and his executive order last year to limit birthright citizenship — three actions that test the boundaries of presidential powers.

The court gave the Republican president victories in two immigration-related cases on Thursday, and has backed him in multiple emergency rulings since he returned to office last year, allowing policies impeded by lower courts to take effect while legal challenges proceeded. The court, however, handed him a significant loss in February when it rejected his sweeping tariffs issued under a law meant for use in national emergencies.

The justices signaled skepticism during arguments in January toward Trump's bid to fire the Fed's Lisa Cook, a move that threatened the central bank's independence.

No other president has tried to fire a Fed official since its founding in 1913. In creating the Fed, Congress passed a law that included provisions meant to insulate it from political interference, requiring governors to be removed by a president only "for cause." The statute does not define the term nor establish procedures for removal.

Trump cited unsubstantiated mortgage fraud allegations — denied by Cook — to justify the firing. Cook, who has remained in the post while the case plays out, called the allegations a pretext to oust her over monetary policy differences.

The conservative justices during arguments in December signaled they would uphold Trump's firing of Democratic Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter over policy differences. Lower courts ruled Trump exceeded his authority.

U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer, arguing for the administration, urged the justices to overturn a Supreme Court precedent in a 1935 case called Humphrey's Executor v. United States that has constrained presidential power by protecting the heads of certain independent agencies from removal. The court in recent decades has narrowed the precedent's reach but stopped short of overturning it.

The conservative justices appeared sympathetic to the administration's arguments that tenure protections given by Congress to the heads of ⁠independent agencies encroach on presidential powers under the U.S. Constitution. The court last year let Trump remove Slaughter while the case proceeded.

ELECTION-RELATED CASES

Two election-related decisions are due as the November midterm elections loom, with Republicans seeking to retain control of Congress.

The conservative justices signaled skepticism during arguments in March toward a Mississippi law challenged by Republicans that permits a five-day grace period for mail-in ballots received after Election Day to be counted. That case could lead to stricter voting rules around the country.

The administration argued in favor of the challenge. Mississippi's law permits mail-in ballots sent by eligible voters to be counted if they ​were postmarked on or before Election Day but received up to five business days after a federal election. A lower court ruled against the law.

Trump, who has made false claims about widespread fraud in U.S. elections, issued an executive order in March to restrict mail-in ballots nationwide, but a federal judge in Boston on ​Thursday blocked its implementation.

The court heard arguments in December in a Republican-led bid to strike down federal limits on spending by political parties in coordination with candidates in a case involving Vice President JD Vance. Some of the conservative justices appeared sympathetic toward the challenge. The court's liberal members seemed inclined to preserve the restrictions.

The dispute centers on whether these limits violate the Constitution's First Amendment ​protection against government abridgment of freedom of speech. A lower court upheld the restrictions.

The court heard arguments in January over the legality of laws in Idaho and West Virginia banning transgender athletes from female sports teams at public schools including universities. The conservative justices appeared ready to uphold the laws. The states said the measures preserve fair competition for women and girls. Critics see them as part of wider efforts to restrict the rights of transgender Americans.

'GEOFENCE' WARRANTS

The court heard arguments in April in a case from Virginia involving whether law enforcement's use of a "geofence" warrant to identify potential suspects based on data from cellphones near crime scenes ​violates the Constitution's Fourth Amendment bar on unreasonable searches.

PARIS, June 28 (Reuters) - France has recorded 1,000 excess deaths during the blistering heatwave sweeping Europe, the public health agency said on Sunday, warning that the true figure was likely to be higher.

Detailing its preliminary count of excess deaths, Sante Publique said most of the fatalities involved older people and that it expected the mortality rate to rise as more information became available about deaths in residential care and homes.

Europeans have been enduring blistering conditions during a heatwave that has been linked to dozens of deaths - shattering records, disrupting power generation and damaging infrastructure.

Scientists have said the heatwave, which began on June 20, was ‌the worst recorded in Europe, where the climate is changing faster than the global average.

The heatwave has been moving east. But while France's weather agency said the extreme heat had diminished in most parts of the country, some areas in the northeast were still under a heatwave advisory.

Health Minister Stephanie Rist told La Tribune newspaper that the impact of the heatwave could linger for as long as 10 days after the weather had ebbed.

"The episode is not finished," she told broadcaster BFM.

Most of the deaths involved people aged 65 and older, though the health effects of the extreme heat affected all categories of the population, Sante Publique said.

Katharine McPhee and David Foster are celebrating their lucky seventh year of marriage.

The L.A. native first got nationwide acclaim competing on season 5 of American Idol and though she came in second, the show changed her life in other ways. While on Idol, McPhee met the producer, who served as a guest mentor on the show. The two developed a close friendship, with the famed producer playing piano at her wedding Nick Cockas in 2008. She and Cokas divorced in 2016.

Rumors that she and Foster began circulating in 2017, and though she didn't exactly confirm they were together, she didn't deny it either. "Here's how I look at it: I'm not doing anything wrong, so whether people think it's true or false … there's nothing bad happening in my life, so people can just say whatever they want," she told PEOPLE in 2017.

By 2018, the cat was out of the bag, and the happy couple was engaged. They wed on June 28, 2019, in London and welcomed son Rennie in 2021, who joined older siblings Allison, Amy, Sara, Erin and Jordan, Foster's children from prior relationships.

On their seventh wedding anniversary, see adorable photos of McPhee and Foster with their son over the years.

Melissa Rivers opened up in a new video about the mystery of why her mother, Joan Rivers, changed her name

Joan was born Joan Alexandra Molinsky

Melissa also changed her name to Rivers after initially using the last name of her father, Edgar Rosenberg

Joan Rivers changed her name decades ago, and her daughter Melissa isn't exactly sure where her new last name came from.

Melissa, 58, opened up about her mom's chosen last name in a video she posted to Instagram on June 25.

“A lot of people ask me where the name Rivers comes from. And I'm going to tell you the true and official story,” Melissa said.

The answer? “We're not really sure,” Melissa admitted. According to Melissa, her mom Joan, who died in 2014 at the age of 81, once told her, “It was the last name of one of her managers, or that one of her managers suggested it. And it just sounded good and stuck. So there's the big story.”

Joan herself told the story of why she changed her name from Joan Alexandra Molinsky to Joan Rivers in a 2007 interview with the Television Academy.

“I changed it to Joan Rivers because I wanted to be an actress,” she said. Her friends would spend “hours” thinking about changing their own names.

“I thought, ‘Just get me some work, I'll change my name,' ” she said. “The first agent that sent me out was a man named Larry Rivers and I said, ‘Okay I'm Joan Rivers.' ”

According to Joan, that “got him so scared he never sent me out again.”

Still, with her new name, Joan began working as an actress, appearing in an off-Broadway play called Driftwood alongside Barbra Streisand. By the early ‘60s, Rivers was performing at various comedy clubs and her acting career was mostly forgotten. She eventually became one of the defining comedians of the late 20th century. She won Emmy and Grammy Awards and, in later years, became known especially for her red carpet interviews. She was also nominated for a Tony Award for her performance in 1994's Sally Marr ... and Her Escorts.

As for Melissa, her legal name is Melissa Rosenberg, after her father, producer Edgar Rosenberg. In 1990, in her early 20s, she decided to take her mother's surname. “Everyone knows my last name is Rosenberg and I think that it's time my mom has gotten a lot of credit for what she has done,” she said on an episode of Geraldo, per UPI.

Edgar died by suicide in 1987, at age 62, and Joan and Melissa barely spoke in the year after he died. But they ultimately repaired their bond. "It took therapy. It took time," she told PEOPLE in 2024. "I went into a full crisis situation where I ended up in an abusive relationship, and when I called her for help, she came through. It took another major crisis for us to heal from the other crisis." She said that she and her mom lent their names to suicide prevention at a time when people thought it was “still shameful.”

In June 2018, Melissa opened up to PEOPLE about how her son, Cooper, is Joan's greatest legacy.

“The best legacy that I can give my mother — that everyone can give their parent — is to raise a good and decent child,” she said. “One who gives back, and has a clear understanding of the understanding of not just being good, but doing good, as well. Cooper is my mom's greatest legacy.”

She said that she and Cooper, 26, often talk about “our family legacy.”

“And I feel like our legacy is to live a life that you can be proud of on many levels. Giving your best professionally and personally. Giving back to others,” she said. “Cooper and I always try to remember how fortunate we are, just by rite of birth. We can never lose sight of that. We're not entitled to anything. We work for what we have. That's how my mother lived.”

- Brad Bird helmed two *Incredibles* movies and *Ratatouille* for Pixar, but his latest movie, *Ray Gunn*, is a Netflix production.

- Bird explained why his long-gestating passion project won't be a Pixar movie.

- The filmmaker is still working on *Incredibles 3* with Pixar.

Brad Bird is a Pixar legend — but he isn't reteaming with the Disney-owned studio for his next project.

The animation auteur, who helmed hits like *The Incredibles* and *Ratatouille* for Pixar, opted to work with Netflix on his latest film, *Ray Gunn*.

In a new interview with IndieWire, Bird explained why he didn't return to Pixar for his latest animated adventure, which is a decades-in-the-making passion project that fuses film noir and sci-fi spectacle.

"I wanted it to go to a slightly different audience, and I wanted there to be a huge amount of overlap, obviously," he said. "The Pixar audience is wide, and I love that, and I love working with Pixar."

'Ray Gunn'

But Bird suggested he didn't want audiences to enter the film with expectations that it will resemble Pixar's usual fare.

"I wanted to make this a little bit different flavor wise, and that's why I didn't pitch it at Pixar," he said. "Because they have their lane, and I can get down with that lane, but I don't see this movie going down that lane."

Bird also hopes that *Ray Gunn* will land with a more mature audience. "I wanted to aim it a little older," he said. "Not majorly older, teenager is fine. But make something a little more adult and major."

It's worth noting that Bird is still on friendly terms with Pixar, as he's developing a third *Incredibles* movie with the studio that is set to be directed by *The Good Dinosaur* filmmaker Peter Sohn.

*THR* previously reported that Bird began developing *Ray Gunn* in the 1990s while working at Turner Feature Animation, which merged with Warner Bros. and asked the filmmaker to make his feature directorial debut with 1999's *The Iron Giant *instead.

Bird said he never pitched *Ray Gunn* to Pixar despite making three wildly successful films there (the two *Incredibles* movies and *Ratatouille*), and indicated that although Netflix hasn't announced plans to present the film in theaters, he remains immensely grateful toward the streamer for making the project in the first place.

"I have nothing but warm feelings towards Netflix because they backed this film, they took a chance on it, and they gave me tremendous resources. If they say, 'You know, we'd like to experiment with theatrical,' I'd be the first one to go, 'Can I volunteer to be your guinea pig?'" he said. "They've accepted me in my theatrical ways, and I would hope that as many people as possible could see this film on a giant screen. It really rewards it."

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our****** EW Dispatch newsletter******.***

The *Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol* filmmaker noted how difficult it is to get original movies greenlit in contemporary Hollywood. "It's a challenge to get original ideas backed. We live in a time where for whatever reason, repeating yourself is rewarded and doing something new is not," he explained. "Everyone seems to forget that all the stuff you were repeating, at one time, was new and maybe you need to do more new things."

*Ray Gunn* stars Sam Rockwell as a private eye in a futuristic city populated by humans and aliens. Tom Waits voices his extraterrestrial sidekick, and Scarlett Johansson will play a mysterious pop star.

"I think it's maybe gonna change some people's minds about animation," Bird told IndieWire. "It can do nuanced, complicated things in a fun fashion."

*Ray Gunn* will premiere on Netflix on Dec. 18.

- "It could not have been more different," Noguiera says.

- The writer explains how that previous treatment helped her craft the Milly Alcock-led movie.

Before there was *Supergirl*, there was *Supergirl*.

Prior to the Milly Alcock-led film opening in theaters this weekend, the previous regime at DC hired screenwriter Ana Nogueira to work on a Supergirl movie that didn't materialize. It was for the DCEU, the franchise that began with 2013's *Man of Steel* with Henry Cavill and ended with 2023's *Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom* with Jason Momoa.

The project was meant for actress Sasha Calle, who made her debut as Superman's cousin in 2023's *The Flash*. "It was completely different," Noguiera tells **. "I don't think I can even say what it was about, but it could not have been more different."

The tweaks were vast, ranging from character to tone to mythology. "Everything," the scribe emphasizes. "Nothing transferred over from one to the other [Supergirl movie], which is crazy."

When director James Gunn and producer Peter Safran were then tapped to lead the new era of DC Studios and craft a completely new universe of interconnected entertainment, Nogueira thought her time in the house of heroes was over. It wasn't. Her duties reoriented around a new Supergirl movie, one that would fit into their world of the DCU, which now includes 2024's *Creature Commandos* animated series, 2025's *Superman* with David Corenswet, and *Peacemaker* season 2 with John Cena.

*Supergirl* with Alcock as Kara Zor-El is now based on the famed *Woman of Tomorrow* comic book arc by writer Tom King and artist Bilquis Evely. While partying on planets that orbit red suns, the cousin of Superman is approached by a young alien girl, Ruthye Marye Knoll (Eve Ridley), who seeks a warrior to avenge her slaughtered family.

Despite her initial disinterest, Kara develops a personal stake when Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts), the one who killed Ruthye's parents and brother, poisons her dog Krypto. Now, Supergirl has only three days to find him, grab the antidote, and save her lasting family tie to Krypton.

Momoa also re-enters the DC fold as a different character, Lobo, a heavy-metal intergalactic bounty hunter.

Regarding that earlier *Supergirl* treatment, which is now destined to collect dust in a drawer somewhere, "It was useful to me," Noguiera says. "There is a real thing when you're doing this, you have to really onboard yourself on things like power set, what these characters are capable of, what a fight would look like, how strong you want them to be. How strong is Superman? He's as strong as the writer needs him to [be]. Do you need them to throw a planet? Then you can do it. Do you need him to get the s--- kicked out of him? So that was really useful, that I knew that power set for [Supergirl] in and out."

Calle had high hopes for her future as Supergirl, but after the new DC leadership took over and Alcock was cast, the actress expressed only gratitude for the opportunity.

"I'm so grateful," she told EW in January 2026. "Someone mentioned today the video when [*The Flash* director] Andy Muschietti calls me and tells me that I got the job. And I still [remember], the feeling was so surreal, you know? And it's taken me to a place where I get to work now with Ben [Affleck] and Matt [Damon], Teyana [Taylor], Catalina [Sandino Moreno], Steven [Yeun], Kyle [Chandler]."

Calle worked with that list of actors on the Netflix film *The Rip* (2026).

"I'm so, so, so utterly grateful that it's brought me into this world where I can make art," she continued. "I loved it."

*Supergirl* will open in theaters this weekend.
