Google staff across the world are walking out in protest over sexual misconduct

Google staff around the world are staging a mass walkout on Thursday in protest at sexual misconduct. It follows a bombshell New York Times report last week, which named executives who had been accused of sexual misconduct, including Android creator Andy Rubin. Rubin denies the allegations. Thousands of staff are expected to take part in the protest, which will involve people walking away from their desk at 11 a.m. at Google offices around the globe. They are using the hashtag #GoogleWalkout. Employees in London, Tokyo, and Berlin are among those to have taken part.

Divers found the black box from the Lion Air flight that crashed into the Java Sea

Indonesian Navy divers have located and retrieved the black box from the Lion Air plane that crashed into the Java Sea on Monday morning. Divers found the device from the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft Thursday morning, on day four of a search hampered by poor conditions. Officials believe the black box will help explain why the near-new aircraft went down. The first victim has also been formally identified as a 24-year-old female employee at Jakarta's energy ministry. All 189 people on board that plane are believed to be dead.

Indonesian Navy divers have retrieved the black box from the Lion Air plane that crashed into the Java Sea earlier this week. Divers lifted the recording device from the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft on Thursday morning, Reuters reported, the fourth day of the investigation into why the jet downed and who the victims were. The almost-new Boeing 737 Max 8 crashed into waters around Indonesia just 13 minutes after taking off from Jakarta on Monday morning. All 189 people on board are believed to be dead. Officials believe the black box — which was orange in color — will help explain why the Lion Air plane went down.

The flight's pilot was granted a request to turn back about two minutes after takeoff, but communications from the plane went silent before it fell into the sea minutes later. It's not clear whether the black box found on Thursday was the flight data recorder or the cockpit voice recorder, both of which are usually called black boxes, Australia's 9News channel reported. It is now in the possession of search and rescue officials in Indonesia, Reuters reported.
