Warner Bros boss Kevin Tsujihara quits over Brit actress affair claims WARNER Bros chief executive Kevin Tsujihara has quit following claims he promised a British actress roles while they were having an affair. WarnerMedia, the parent company, launched an investigation following a Hollywood Reporter story that detailed text messages between Mr Tsujihara and Charlotte Kirk dating back to 2013. The messages suggested a quid pro quo sexual relationship between the aspiring actress and the studio head, in which he made promises that he would introduce her to influential executives and she would be considered for roles in movies and television. In a memo to Warner Bros staff, Mr Tsujihara said he was

departing “after lengthy introspection”. “It has become clear that my continued leadership could be a distraction and an obstacle to the company’s continued success.” WarnerMedia chief executive John Stankey announced Tsujihara’s exit as chairman and chief executive of Warner Bros, saying his departure was in the studio’s “best interest”. “Kevin has contributed greatly to the studio’s success over the past 25 years and for that we thank him. “Kevin acknowledges that his mistakes are inconsistent with the company’s leadership expectations and could impact the company’s ability to execute going forward.” (net)

Love Island to offer therapy and training to all contestants following two suicides

LONDON - The makers of Love Island say they will offer therapy to all contestants following the deaths of two former stars.

Kevin Tsujihara said he was departing ‘after lengthy introspection’.

The body of 26-year-old Mike Thalassitis, who appeared in the 2017 series, was found in a north London park on Saturday after police were called to reports of a man found hanged, while Sophie Gradon, 32, who had taken part the year before, was found dead in June last year. Since their deaths the clamour for TV reality shows to help participants to deal with psychological effects of taking part has grown, with the Health Secretary Matt Hancock saying they have a duty to care for contestants after they become famous.

Love Island said it had undertaken a review six months ago to evaluate the after-care it was providing. The show said it would now offer support to all contestants rather than just those who ask for it. The care will focus on helping contestants with social media and financial management. A statement from the show said: “This review has led us to extend our support processes to offer therapy to all Islanders and not only those that reach out to us. “And we will be delivering bespoke training to all future Is-

landers to include social media and financial management.” It went on: “The key focus will be for us to no longer be reliant on the islanders asking us for support but for us to proactively check in with them on a regular basis.” After the news of the death of Mike Thalassitis broke, a fellow contestant, Dom Lever, tweeted: “You get a psychological evaluation before and after you go on the show but hands down once you are done on the show you don’t get any support unless you’re number one.” (net)

Lion Air pilots were looking at handbook when plane crashed

The pilots of the Lion Air Boeing 737 Max that crashed in Indonesia were searching a flight manual to try to find why the plane kept lurching downwards against their commands, according to reports of the cockpit voice recording. The investigation into the crash, which killed all 189 people on board last October, has become even more significant for Boeing and airlines due to its suspected links with the Ethiopian Airlines disaster, where 157 died on the same model of plane. The Ethiopian government and French accident investigators have said flight data shows clear similarities between the two 737 Max crashes. According to sources who spoke to Reuters, the voice recordings from Lion Air – yet to be officially released – show that the captain asked the first officer to check the

flight manual within minutes of takeoff as they struggled to control the aircraft. The captain was at the controls of Lion Air flight JT610 when the 737 Max took off from Jakarta. Two minutes into the journey, the first officer reported a “flight control problem” to air traffic control. The sources said airspeed was mentioned on the cockpit voice recording, and that an indicator showed a problem on the captain’s display but not the first officer’s. The pilots looked through the handbook containing checklists for abnormal events, as the jet incorrectly alerted pilots it was in a

stall, pushing the nose down – an automated response built into the software as part of the maneuvering characteristics augmentation system (MCAS) anti-stall program in the 737 Max. As the captain fought to climb, the computer continued to push the nose down. “They didn’t seem to know the trim was moving down,” the third source said. “They thought only about airspeed and altitude. That was the only thing they talked about.” The sources told Reuters that the pilots remained calm for most of the flight. Near the end, the captain asked the first officer to fly while he checked the manual. The Indian-

born captain, 31, was silent at the end, while the Indonesian first officer, 41, said “Allahu Akbar”, the Arabic expression meaning “God is greatest”. The plane crashed shortly after, killing everyone on board. Lion Air said all data and information had been given to investigators and declined to comment further. After two deadly disasters in five months, can Boeing survive? Regulators around the world grounded the 737 Max model last week after a crash in Ethiopia, the second fatal disaster in five months. The black box recorders from Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 are being examined by French air accident investigators in Paris, who have yet to release an official report.

However, the fact the pilot also reported flight control problems in the same new plane, which climbed erratically and crashed soon after takeoff, has left the safety of the plane in doubt. More than 300 737 Max planes have been taken out of service and deliveries suspended for another 5,000 on order. Boeing has told airlines it expects to have new software ready by the end of the month. Continued to page 6 News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.
