The lenders argue that the proposed compensation scheme, designed to address historical mis-selling of motor finance, <strong>violates their human rights<\/strong> by imposing retrospective rules. The scheme targets &quot;discretionary commission arrangements&quot; used between 2007 and 2024, with total liabilities estimated to reach <strong>\u00a39.1 billion ($12.2 billion)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The legal pushback has already impacted the FCA\u2019s timeline, with the regulator advising firms that the original <strong>June 30, 2026, implementation deadline<\/strong> has effectively fallen away. While the FCA intends to defend the scheme robustly, the <em>Upper Tribunal<\/em> proceedings mean that millions of consumers may not see payouts until <strong>2027 or later<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Aviation Safety: JetBlue Reports Drone Encounter at JFK<\/h2>\n<p>Federal authorities are investigating a report from a JetBlue (<a href=\"\/stock\/JBLU\">JBLU<\/a>) pilot who claimed his Airbus A321 <strong>struck a drone<\/strong> while descending toward JFK International Airport. The incident occurred at an altitude of approximately <strong>3,000 feet<\/strong> as the flight from Las Vegas crossed the coastline. Although the pilot reported a collision, a post-flight inspection by the airline found <strong>no damage or evidence of a strike<\/strong>, and the plane was briefly removed from service as a precaution.<\/p>\n<p>This encounter follows a similar report from a United Airlines (<a href=\"\/stock\/UAL\">UAL<\/a>) flight at Newark Liberty International Airport just days prior. The <strong>FAA<\/strong> currently receives over <strong>100 drone-sighting reports per month<\/strong> near airports, prompting increased scrutiny and potential criminal penalties for unauthorized operators.<\/p>\n<h2>Geopolitical Tensions: IRGC Members Killed in Western Iran<\/h2>\n<p>State media in Iran reported that <strong>two members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)<\/strong> were killed and two others wounded in a shooting in the western town of Paveh. Gunmen reportedly opened fire on a residence in what officials are calling a &quot;terrorist attack&quot; by &quot;anti-revolutionary&quot; elements.
