<p>US Vice President Kamala Harris' aircraft was diverted to a Washington airport due to wind shear caused by the stormy weather while returning from Georgia.</p>

<p>Press secretary Kirsten Allen said, "Tonight, en route from Atlanta, GA, Air Force 2 was diverted from Joint Base Andrews to Dulles International Airport due to inclement weather," reported Fox40.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to a source familiar with the incident, no one sustained injuries, and the aircraft landed safely in Dulles. They said that wind shear caused by the storm forced the pilot to divert the plane.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is wind shear?</strong></h2>

<p>Weather plays a significant role in aviation safety. Poor weather conditions are often&nbsp;the culprit behind major incidents.</p>

<p>Wind shear is a sudden alteration in wind velocity and direction over a short distance. This weather phenomenon can happen at various levels of the atmosphere. However, it is more dangerous at the lower levels since it results in a sudden loss of airspeed and altitude.</p>

<p>The Bureau of Meteorology website states, "It is significant when it causes changes to an aircraft's headwind or tailwind such that the aircraft is abruptly displaced from its intended flight path and substantial control action is required to correct it."</p>

<p>Weather conditions like jet streams, mountain waves, temperature inversion layers, frontal surfaces, thunderstorms, convective clouds or microbursts can cause wind shear.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"During the climb-out and approach phases of flight, aircraft airspeed and height are near critical values, rendering the aircraft especially susceptible to the adverse effects of wind shear. The response of aircraft to wind shear is extremely complex and depends on many factors including the type of aircraft, the phase of flight, the scale on which the wind shear operates relative to the size of the aircraft, and the intensity and duration of the wind shear encountered," it adds.</p>

<p>Although wind shear is a microscale meteorological phenomenon, it has been responsible for over 1,400 fatalities worldwide, including more than 400 deaths in the United States during 1973-1985, as per the report by NCAR.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, with the advancement of technology, systems have been created to deal with the issue of low-level wind shear.

Aircraft carrying US Vice President Kamala Harris diverted. Here’s what happened

<p>Vice President Kamala Harris criticised "extremists" in Florida on Friday (July 21)&nbsp;for endorsing educational guidelines that she believes teach "revisionist history" about slavery in the United States.</p>

<p>The state's board of education recently approved new guidelines, including one for middle school students, which state that "instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit."</p>

<h2><strong>Harris delivers blistering speech condemning&nbsp;new guidelines</strong></h2>

<p>In a fiery speech, Vice President Harris condemned the approved guidelines, pointing out that adults understand the true horrors of slavery, involving rape, torture, and the inhumane separation of mothers from their babies, as reported by Reuters.</p>

<p>She expressed outrage at any suggestion that being subjected to such dehumanisation could have benefited enslaved people&nbsp;in any way.</p>

<p>"Adults know what slavery really involved. It involved rape. It involved torture. It involved taking a baby from their mother. It involved some of the worst examples of ... depriving people of humanity in our world," she said.</p>

<h2><strong>Justifications for new language in the guidelines</strong></h2>

<p>Members of the working group that developed the new guidelines, William Allen and Frances Presley Rice, defended the inclusion of language suggesting that slaves learned specialised skills, stating that it was intended to depict them as more than just victims.</p>

<h2><strong>Harris labels information as false propaganda</strong></h2>

<p>Dismissing the justifications, Harris labelled the information as false propaganda, emphasising the importance of teaching children the truth and seeking knowledge.</p>

US Vice President Kamala Harris slams Florida 'extremists' over education guidelines about slavery

<p>United States Vice President Kamala Harris, on Tuesday (June 6) called for “an independent judiciary,” in Israel, while speaking about the contentious proposed judicial overhaul which has led to weeks of mass protests across the country.&nbsp;The next day, the comments prompted criticism from the&nbsp;Israeli foreign minister who said that “she may not be able to cite even one clause that bothers her” about the judicial reform.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Israel needs ‘an independent judiciary’: US VP</strong></h2>

<p>Harris’ comments were made at a reception celebrating the 75th anniversary of Israel’s founding which was hosted by the Israeli Embassy in Washington.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The US VP said, “America will continue to stand for the values that have been the bedrock of the US-Israel relationship, which includes continuing to strengthen our democracies, which as the (Israeli) ambassador has said, are both built on strong institutions, checks and balances.”</p>

<p>“I'll add: an independent judiciary,” said the US VP,&nbsp;on Tuesday, as her comments drew applause from some present at the event in Washington. Meanwhile,&nbsp;Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, in an interview, said Harris was perhaps not fully informed about the judicial reform which was proposed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Israel’s Ambassador to the US Michael Herzog, in a speech before her also mentioned the proposed judicial overhaul. “Israel is an imperfect democracy, and we like you have our own set of internal challenges. As a young nation only 75 years old, we are still grappling with important questions relating to our democratic system,” said Herzog.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, “But let me assure you, I am confident that Israel will remain a vibrant democracy.” Notably, US President Joe Biden’s administration has faced mounting pressure over the proposed judicial reform and has called on Netanyahu to drop the judicial overhaul plan over the past few months.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, that pressure has reportedly eased after the proposed plan was suspended, in late March after weeks of unprecedented protests across Israel and Netanyahu agreeing to hit pause and compromise negotiations with the opposition.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Israel's foreign minister slams Harris</strong></h2>

<p>In an interview with Israel’s Kan news, Cohen said, “If we were to ask Kamala Harris what bothers her about the reform, she wouldn’t be able to name a single clause,” reported Times of Israel. He added, “I don’t know whether she read the bill…I imagine she has not.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>This was followed by the US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides saying that Harris’ presence at the event was about the strength of the relations between the two nations. Nides told Channel 12 news that while he has “respect” for Cohen, “the VP said things the administration says (at) every opportunity regarding the shared values and policies. Harris is a strong supporter of Israel.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Israeli foreign minister’s comments had prompted a supposed diplomatic storm between the two allies&nbsp;and hours later Cohen issued a statement where he said he had “deep respect” for their ally the US and Harris who he then called “a true friend of Israel.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added, “Israel’s legal reform is an internal issue that is currently in the process of consolidation and dialogue. The State of Israel will continue to be democratic and liberal, as it has always been.”</p>

<p>Earlier this year, Netanyahu’s government unveiled a legal reform plan which has repeatedly been criticised by the opposition and critics who have said that it would threaten the democracy and freedom of Israel as it supposedly plans to weaken the country’s Supreme Court.&nbsp;</p>

Israeli foreign minister slams US VP Kamala Harris over call for ‘independent judiciary’

<p>United States Vice President Kamala Harris, on Friday (April 7) flew to Nashville, in the state of Tennessee to support recently ousted Democratic party lawmakers, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson from the state house. The two young Black lawmakers were expelled, while the third Democrat, Gloria Johnson avoided expulsion by a single vote on Thursday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Republican-controlled statehouse said that the trio had brought “disorder and dishonour to the House”. The lawmakers in question had staged a rule-breaking demonstration for gun control on the statehouse floor after a recent school shooting&nbsp;last week.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The March 27 attack at a Nashville School killed six people, including three nine-year-old children. According to reports, the US VP received applause and standing ovations for her remarks at the gathering at Fisk University, a historically Black school.</p>

<p>“The issue, which gets back to these three, is that we need leaders who have the courage to act at state houses and in Washington, DC, in the United States Congress. Have the courage to act instead of the cowardice to not allow debate,” said Harris.</p>

<p>“Let’s understand, the underlying issue is about fighting for the safety of our children,” said the vice president, adding that for years now children are “taught to read and write and hide in a closet and be quiet if there’s a mass shooter at their school…who go to school in fear.”</p>

<p>She added, “Let’s not fall for the false choice — either you’re in favour of the Second Amendment or you want reasonable gun safety laws. We can and should do both.” Harris also called for background checks, red flag laws and restrictions on assault rifles, during her speech. During her visit to the state, the vice president also met privately with Jones, Pearson and Johnson, as well as other lawmakers and young people advocating for tougher gun control laws.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, President Joe Biden also spoke to the three lawmakers, on Friday, now being dubbed as the “Tennessee Three”, and invited them to the White House, while praising them for “seeking to ban assault weapons and standing up for our democratic values.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, just two lawmakers had been ousted since the US Civil War. The expulsion has since prompted protests where hundreds converged on the House for the vote, chanting “shame on you”. During her visit, Harris also urged young people to increase their activism on gun violence prevention. “Every generation has its calling,” said the US VP, adding that this issue requires your leadership “We need you”.&nbsp;</p>

US VP Kamala Harris backs ousted lawmakers in Tennessee, criticises Republicans for expulsion

<p>The US Vice President Kamala Harris visited the Gopalan family home in Lusaka and paid tribute to her maternal grandfather PV Gopalan, a member of the Indian Foreign Service, while on a visit to Zambia.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"My visit to Zambia has a special significance for me, as many of you know, and for my family. As you know, I visited Zambia, Mr President, as a young girl when my grandfather worked here," Vice President Harris told reporters in Lusaka at a joint news conference with Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema, reported the PTI.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Vice President Harris said in&nbsp;the news conference that&nbsp;her grandfather was a civil servant in India. "And in 1966, shortly after Zambia's independence, he came to Lusaka to serve as a director of relief measures and refugees. That was his title. He served as an adviser to Zambia's first president, Kenneth Kaunda. And he was an expert on refugee resettlement," she said.</p>

<p>"I remember my time here fondly. I was a child, so it is the memory of a child. But I remember being here and just how it felt, and the warmth and the excitement that was present. And, in fact, I was talking with my aunt recently, and she was reminding me of the relationships that she made when she was working at -- then it was called Lusaka Central Hospital -- when she was working there with the physicians there," Vice President Harris added.</p>

<p>"So, from my family and from all of us, we extend our greetings and hello to everyone here," she continued.</p>

<p>In January 1966, the Indian government sent PV Gopalan to Zambia to serve as the Director of Relief Measures and Refugees.</p>

<p>He gave up his position as the director of the joint secretary's office in the Ministry of Rehabilitation of the Indian government in order to carry out these responsibilities. In July 1969, after reverting from the government of Zambia, he took over management of the Office of the Joint Secretary to the government of India in the Ministry of Rehabilitation.</p>

<p>A White House official claimed that her family lived at 16 Independence Avenue while they were in Lusaka in the 1960s, but since addresses are now numbered differently, it was ultimately possible to locate them by using plot numbers from property surveys and public records.&nbsp;</p>

The US Vice President Kamala Harris visited the Gopalan family home in Lusaka and paid tribute to her maternal grandfather PV Gopalan, a member of the Indian Foreign Service, while on a visit to Zambia. "My visit to Zambia has a special significance for me, as many of you know, and for my family. As you know, I visited Zambia, Mr President, as a young girl when my grandfather worked here," Vice President Harris told reporters in Lusaka at a joint news conference with Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema, reported the PTI. Vice President Harris said in the news conference that her grandfather was a civil servant in India. "And in 1966, shortly after Zambia's independence, he came to Lusaka to serve as a director of relief measures and refugees. That was his title. He served as an adviser to Zambia's first president, Kenneth Kaunda. And he was an expert on refugee resettlement," she said. "I remember my time here fondly. I was a child, so it is the memory of a child. But I remember being here and just how it felt, and the warmth and the excitement that was present. And, in fact, I was talking with my aunt recently, and she was reminding me of the relationships that she made when she was working at -- then it was called Lusaka Central Hospital -- when she was working there with the physicians there," Vice President Harris added. How it started: How it’s going: pic.twitter.com/KVIM3t5qFo — Vice President Kamala Harris (@VP) March 31, 2023 × "So, from my family and from all of us, we extend our greetings and hello to everyone here," she continued. In January 1966, the Indian government sent PV Gopalan to Zambia to serve as the Director of Relief Measures and Refugees. He gave up his position as the director of the joint secretary's office in the Ministry of Rehabilitation of the Indian government in order to carry out these responsibilities. In July 1969, after reverting from the government of Zambia, he took over management of the Office of the Joint Secretary to the government of India in the Ministry of Rehabilitation. A White House official claimed that her family lived at 16 Independence Avenue while they were in Lusaka in the 1960s, but since addresses are now numbered differently, it was ultimately possible to locate them by using plot numbers from property surveys and public records. A great meeting today with President Hichilema of Zambia. The United States and Zambia have a shared history that underpins our strong partnership. pic.twitter.com/9momUyvNcd — Vice President Kamala Harris (@VP) March 31, 2023 × "In addition, members of the Vice President's family provided recollections about the home, which aided the search. After much work by the Embassy and dead-ends in the search, the Embassy identified this location only a few days ago while the Vice President was in Accra, Ghana," the official said.

'Oh come on': Kamala Harris reacts to 'ridiculous' headlines against her expensive cookware

<p>Design student Ella Emhoff had&nbsp;created quite a stir in the fashion circuit when she wore a chequered bejewelled coat at stepmother, US Vice President Kamala Harris inaugural ceremony in Jan. And so, it was kind of obvious that as she made her runway debut a month later, she would be dressed in a coat.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Designers at Proenza Schouler decided to dress Ella Emhoff in a couple of coats and a pantsuit as she walked the ramp for New York Fashion Week.&nbsp;<br />
The fashion week for the first time has taken the virtual route this year owing to the pandemic and Ella Emhoff shot for her portion of walk a few weeks back, several media reports state.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Ella had made heads turn earlier during the Presidential inaugural ceremony when she wore a Miu Miu coat with bejewelled shoulders alone with white collar. The look was termed quirky and several fashionistas lauded Ella's choice which looked strikingly different from the usual coats in the crowd!</p>

<p>Ella is an art and knitwear designing student&nbsp;at Parsons School of Design.

“I have to say I was a little nervous,” Emhoff, daughter of Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff, said later in a streamed talk with the designers, also released Thursday. “I definitely lost a little sleep the night before. I’m walking for the first time, I’m in this professional environment for the first time … the anticipation was really high.” She spoke of her love for knitting and textiles, and the dream of her own knitwear brand.<br />

Design student Ella Emhoff had created quite a stir in the fashion circuit when she wore a chequered bejewelled coat at stepmother, US Vice President Kamala Harris inaugural ceremony in Jan. And so, it was kind of obvious that as she made her runway debut a month later, she would be dressed in a coat. Designers at Proenza Schouler decided to dress Ella Emhoff in a couple of coats and a pantsuit as she walked the ramp for New York Fashion Week. The fashion week for the first time has taken the virtual route this year owing to the pandemic and Ella Emhoff shot for her portion of walk a few weeks back, several media reports state. Ella had made heads turn earlier during the Presidential inaugural ceremony when she wore a Miu Miu coat with bejewelled shoulders alone with white collar. The look was termed quirky and several fashionistas lauded Ella's choice which looked strikingly different from the usual coats in the crowd!
