Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
5 News began with the suspected bomb plot at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, where the prime minister told the programme there were strong indications Iran played a part but the investigation remained live. Five men had been released on bail without charge, and it was reported one suspect had called 999 himself before a farmer also alerted police to suspicious vehicles and people in balaclavas. In an interview at the Labour conference in Liverpool, the prime minister also discussed cost-of-living measures, fuel duty ahead of the Budget, the Manchester City financial-rules case, and his father's death.
Next, the programme reported that a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv made an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia after a fight between pilots. The plane dived 14,000 feet in 30 seconds and 17,000 feet overall; Israel's prime minister said one pilot attacked the other and tried to crash the plane. Passengers and crew subdued the assailant and relief pilots took control, with one pilot arrested and interrogated by Saudi authorities. All survived. On Grenfell Tower, police handed their investigation file to the Crown Prosecution Service and are seeking charges against 54 individuals and 20 companies, including the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, with the CPS committed to charging decisions before the tenth anniversary next June.
Other stories included Harry and Meghan criticising photographers allegedly monitoring their children's school, the scrapping of the government's one-in-one-out migrant deal with France, Greggs cutting about 740 jobs and closing four factories, and Pep Guardiola commenting after Manchester City were found guilty of more than 100 financial-rule breaches. The programme also examined menopause supplements, reporting little evidence for most ingredients beyond calcium and vitamin D, and covered a migrant boat capsizing off Puerto Rico and flooding in Bangkok.

Charged quote Dubai-Tel Aviv flight makes Saudi emergency landing after pilot fight
The plane starts to lose control. So all the people, they scream, they think they are going. Gruesome footage has emerged apparently showing two pilots lying on the floor of the cabin covered in blood. The plane was bound for Israel, and according to the country's prime minister, one pilot who is intent on crashing the jet attacked the other.

Charged quote Dubai-Tel Aviv flight makes Saudi emergency landing after pilot fight
And obviously, this must have been close to structural failure. One pilot has been arrested and is being interrogated by Saudi authorities, and it seems the heroic actions of a few have saved many lives. Catherine Jones, Five News.
