A bear on the runway at Yamagata Airport in Japan has caused a major stalemate, leading to the cancellation of multiple flights. The standoff between airport officials and the bear has left many passengers stranded and frustrated.
Reports from the airport indicate that the bear has been spotted roaming the runway, causing safety concerns for incoming and outgoing flights. Despite attempts to scare the bear away, it has stubbornly refused to leave, leading to a tense situation on the tarmac.
Passengers have been left waiting for hours, unsure of when they will be able to depart. Airport officials are working to resolve the situation and get flights back on schedule, but the bear continues to pose a threat to air traffic.
Authorities are urging travelers to check with their airlines for updates on their flights, as the situation at Yamagata Airport remains uncertain. In the meantime, the bear remains at large on the runway, causing chaos and delays for passengers and airlines alike.

In a controversial decision, the government has confirmed its backing for the construction of a third runway at Heathrow Airport, with Transport Secretary Rachel Reeves indicating her support. The move, which is expected to boost economic growth and create thousands of jobs, has faced fierce opposition from environmental campaigners and local residents.
The decision comes after years of debate and u-turns on the issue, with promises and protests dominating the headlines. Despite the challenges, Reeves has stood firm in her belief that a third runway at Heathrow is crucial for the UK's future prosperity.
Environmental groups have condemned the decision, citing concerns about air pollution, noise pollution, and the impact on local communities. However, supporters argue that the expansion of Heathrow is necessary to keep up with increasing demand for air travel and ensure the UK remains competitive on the global stage.
As construction on the third runway gets underway, it seems the saga of promises, protests, and u-turns surrounding Heathrow's expansion is far from over.
