During an Alaska Airlines flight from Washington, D.C., to Seattle in early January, a number of passengers refused to wear masks and harassed crew members, the airline said. In response, Alaska banned 14 of the passengers on that flight just some of a growing number of disruptive passengers airlines are putting on their own no-fly lists. And President Joe Biden has signed an executive order making face coverings mandatory on planes, the latest move to ensure passengers wear masks, after the Federal Aviation Administration announced several weeks ago it will start taking legal action over such behavior.

Nine members of the United States House of Representatives walked to the Senate on Monday evening and delivered a document calling for the trial of former US president Donald Trump.
The Senate accepted the document, known as the article of impeachment, and set Feb 9 for beginning the trial, making Trump the second president in US history to face such a trial and the only to face it twice.
