Moscow condemned the sabotage as a case of international terrorism, choosing instead to blame the US and UK.There have also been suggestions that a pro-Ukrainian group might have plotted the attack, although Ukraine has denied any involvement.Recent reports have focused on a yacht called the Andromeda carrying six people which was chartered in Germany and stopped off in Denmark and Poland before the blasts.German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius warned last year that the Nord Stream blasts could have been a “false flag” operation to make it look as if Ukraine was to blame.This video can not be playedTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.Media caption, Underwater drone footage of the damage to the Nord Stream pipelineRelated TopicsWar in UkraineGermanySwedenRussiaMore on this storyA journey to the site of the Nord Stream explosionsPublished18 November 2022Report puts Russian navy ships near pipeline blast sitePublished3 May 2023Ukraine denies reported link to Nord Stream attackPublished8 March 2023Top StoriesNHS dentist shortages to be tackled with cash incentivePublished3 hours agoLive.

This was the first treason trial in Ghana since 1966 when post-independence leader Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown. The six were arrested in 2021 while testing weapons in the capital, Accra, to allegedly topple the government. The group, including a gunsmith, pleaded not guilty during a trial that captured the attention of the nation. Defence lawyers said they would appeal against the ruling in the Supreme Court. Three other people, including a senior police officer and two military officers, were acquitted.There was a heavy security deployment outside the High Court in Accra during the sentencing on Wednesday.The court found the six guilty of high treason and conspiracy to commit high treason.The men were arrested with locally manufactured guns, improvised explosive devices and AK-47 rifles, according to court documents. State prosecutors said the group had planned to organise protests, ostensibly to topple President Nana Akufo-Addo’s government ahead of the 2020 general elections. The court said it found the evidence against the men, including intercepted communications and testimonies, compelling. Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, who led the prosecution, praised the court verdict as “significant”. “The constitution of Ghana as the fundamental law of the country, which has sustained the stability of the nation, frowns seriously upon any attempt to overthrow a government and that is why that offence [treason] is punishable by death,” Mr Dame said. Ghana had last carried out an execution in 1992 when it returned to democratic rule.Last year lawmakers last year voted to abolish the death penalty for ordinary crimes, replacing it with a life sentence.

Alaska Airline said it expects “to bring our first few planes back into scheduled commercial service on Friday”, with more planes added every day as inspections are completed.United Airlines said it had received final approval from the FAA to complete the process of returning its 79-strong fleet of 737 Max 9 planes to service.The company’s chief operations officer Toby Enqvist said the airline was preparing to start flying the aircraft again from 28 January. On 5 January a door plug on an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 blew off shortly after take-off, terrifying passengers, and forcing an emergency return to the Portland, Oregon airport.Bosses of both Alaska Airlines and United Airlines have expressed frustration with Boeing over the grounding of the 737 Max 9, which has caused major disruptions to their services.In an interview with NBC News, Alaska Airlines boss Ben Minicucci said there was “no doubt” that the plane came “off the production line with a faulty door”.He said airline inspections since the incident found “many” loose bolts. “I’m more than frustrated and disappointed,” he said. “I am angry.”United Airlines chief executive, Scott Kirby, also told CNBC that he is “disappointed”.”The Max 9 grounding is probably the straw that broke the camel’s back for us,” he said, adding that “we’re going to build a plan that doesn’t have the [Boeing] Max 10 in it”.United also said earlier this week that it expected to lose money because of the grounding.On Wednesday, the head of Boeing, David Calhoun, faced questions from lawmakers in Washington to explain what led to the mid-air emergency.The latest incident raises fresh questions about the safety of Boeing’s aircraft.The company faced intense scrutiny after two fatal crashes of 737 Max 8 passenger jets in 2018 and 2019, which killed 346 people.Related TopicsBoeingAviation safetyMore on this storyBoeing boss faces Washington grilling after blow-outPublished10 hours agoUnited Airlines to lose money over Boeing groundingsPublished1 day agoSecond Boeing model to be inspected after blowoutPublished2 days agoMid-flight blowout a big problem for BoeingPublished8 JanuaryTop StoriesRussia risked lives in downed plane, says ZelenskyPublished3 hours agoUK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’Published6 hours agoChild obesity in pandemic could have lifelong effects, study saysPublished9 hours agoFeaturesDowned Russian plane leaves unanswered questionsThe Papers: UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacksHas Sunak seen off latest Tory wobbles?South Africa fire survivors living in unsafe shacksMichael Owen: I’d pay anything for my son to see againRecords broken but Barbie snubbed – 6 Oscars talking pointsOscars 2024: List of nominations in fullSkepta: I’m bored of the black James Bond narrativeHeartache and betrayal behind ‘secret’ policeElsewhere on the BBCTracing the historical origins of British comedy tropesIan Hislop’s on the hunt tracks for the earliest examples of enduring British jokesAttributionSoundsBailiffs behaving badly…With councils increasingly using bailiffs, File on 4 examines the industry’s tacticsAttributionSoundsThe sound effect that became the ultimate movie in-jokeIt’s used in everything from Toy Story to Reservoir Dogs, but what is the Wilhelm Scream?AttributioniPlayerSamantha Harvey’s critically acclaimed new novelA thoughtful tale of space and the human experience, through the eyes of six astronautsAttributionSoundsMost Read1Halle Berry’s film shelved by Netflix – US media2Captain Cook statue sawn off ahead of Australia Day3US inmate hours away from first nitrogen execution4UK ‘should have citizen army’ and Royal Mail cutbacks5Russia risked lives in downed plane, says Zelensky6UK to loan back Ghana’s looted ‘crown jewels’7Add salt to make perfect cup of tea, US scientist says8Patients deleted from surgery queues after ‘error’9Downed Russian plane leaves unanswered questions10Family moves 180 miles for nursery, as demand rises](https://newsinsightplus.com/wp-content/uploads/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/branded_news/13D0/production/_132227050_53450363008_67756bd6d1_k.jpg)
