Diana, Princess of Wales has featured in newly broadcast behind-the-scenes footage from a controversial humanitarian trip to Angola months before her death.

Offering a rare glimpse of her private reflections during the campaign, Diana, who was 36 at the time of her Paris car crash death, travelled to Angola in January 1997 to support a global ban on landmines, a visit that drew political criticism in the UK.

Newly aired footage of her on the trip, broadcast by ITV News, shows Diana speaking with journalists during the trip, including Steve Scott, who was then the outlet's Africa correspondent.

During the visit, Diana walked through a live minefield wearing protective gear and met victims of landmines, including children who had lost limbs.

Police in Malaysia arrested a man on April 1 for allegedly buying a large volume of Ron95 with four different identity cards.

According to The New Straits Times, Kelantan police chief Datuk Mohd Yusoff Mamat said he was nabbed at a petrol station in Tumpat.

He added: "When apprehended, we found four identity cards in his possession.

"He used the cards belonging to different people to purchase over 100 litres of petrol."

After crashing his SUV last week in Florida, Tiger Woods took out his phone and told a deputy, "I was just talking to the president," according to body camera footage released Thursday (April 2) showing Woods' arrest on a DUI charge.

The phone conversation was not captured on video, but Woods could be heard saying, "Thank you so much," as he hung up and the deputy approached.

It wasn't clear if Woods was referring to President Donald Trump, whose former daughter-in-law, Vanessa Trump, is dating Woods.

Shortly after the golfer's March 27 arrest, Trump was asked about Woods and told reporters: "I feel so badly. He's got some difficulty. Very close friend of mine. He's an amazing person. Amazing man. But, some difficulty."

DALLAS - Federal prosecutors on Thursday (April 2) accused rapper Pooh Shiesty and eight others of robbing three men at gunpoint and kidnapping them earlier this year in Texas following a contract dispute involving rapper Gucci Mane's record label.

The US Attorney's Office in Dallas declined to name the victims and an FBI affidavit attached to a criminal complaint only refers to them by their initials. One victim, R.D., is described as the owner of 1017 Records, the label belonging to Gucci Mane, whose legal name is Radric Delantic Davis.

"The victims in this case came to Dallas to conduct legitimate business and they were met with firearms and violence," Ryan Raybould, the US attorney for the Northern District of Texas, where the complaint was filed, said at a news conference Thursday.

Publicists for Gucci Mane didn't immediately respond to emailed requests for comment.

NEW YORK - Blake Lively's sexual harassment claims against Justin Baldoni over the movie It Ends With Us were dismissed Thursday (April 2) by a federal judge who left intact three claims, including retaliation, that will let a jury hear many of the allegations anyway.

The written ruling by Judge Lewis J. Liman in Manhattan came after Lively, who starred in and produced the film, sued her co-star and director in December 2024. A trial is scheduled for May 18.

Baldoni and his production company Wayfarer Studios had countersued Lively and her husband, Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, accusing them of defamation and extortion. The judge dismissed Baldoni's claims last June.

In his ruling, Liman determined that Lively was an independent contractor rather than an employee. On that basis, he said she was not entitled to bring sexual harassment claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. That law prohibits employment discrimination on various grounds, including gender.

General Randy George, the US Army's top uniformed officer, was asked to step down on Thursday (April 2) by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Pentagon officials have not given a reason for the departure, which comes during the Iran war and is the latest of more than a dozen firings of top generals and admirals.

Iran is firing more missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states, with a spokesperson for its military insisting Thursday that Tehran maintains hidden stockpiles of arms, munitions and production facilities.

In Lebanon, where Israel has launched a ground invasion against Iran-backed Hezbollah militants, Israeli strikes have killed 27 people in a single day, Lebanon's Health Ministry said.

A surge in jet fuel prices driven by the US-Israeli war on Iran has upended the global aviation industry, forcing airlines to raise fares and revise financial outlooks.

Jet fuel prices have soared from US$85 (S$110) to US$90 per barrel to US$150 to US$200 per barrel in recent weeks, a financial hit for an industry where fuel accounts for up to a quarter of operating expenses.

Below is a list of how airlines are responding, in alphabetical order:

The Greek airline expects suspended Middle East flights and a spike in fuel prices to have a "notable impact" on its first-quarter results.

SEOUL - South Korea is not considering paying Iran fees for the passage of Middle Eastern oil and gas through the Strait of Hormuz, the presidential Blue House said on Thursday (April 2), denying an earlier local media report.

"Reviewing the payment of Hormuz transit fees is completely untrue and is not something under consideration," a Blue House spokesperson told Reuters.

Earlier, the Maeil Business Newspaper reported that Seoul was carefully considering whether to pay such fees, citing an unidentified presidential official, amid concerns over potential disruptions to energy supplies from the Middle East.

There was no reprieve for motorists and commercial diesel vehicle owners here as pump prices continued to rise a second consecutive day on Good Friday (April 3).

In the wake of three fuel companies — Caltex, Shell and SPC — raising their respective diesel and petrol prices on Thursday, China-headquartered oil and chemical company Sinopec mirrored their moves on Friday.

It raised petrol prices by 5 cents across its petrol offerings, while raising its posted price for diesel by 30 cents.

But that's not all. Caltex also doubled-down on its diesel hike — raising its posted price by a further 20 cents, barely a day after posting a 10-cent increase .

A 46-year-old male driver was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol in a case of hit-and-run on Good Friday (April 3) morning.
