Counter-terrorism police arrested a 25-year-old British-Iranian man in Westminster on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts in connection with the incident at RAF Fairford last weekend. Five men in their twenties had earlier been arrested and released on bail; detectives said they were examining all angles, including possible foreign state involvement, and the Prime Minister said the government believed Iran had a part to play, while President Trump questioned the bail decision. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said initial investigations suggested the co-pilot who stabbed the captain on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv had undergone Islamist radical indoctrination; more than 170 people were on board when the cockpit altercation sent the plane plunging, and the captain and arrested co-pilot were flown back to Dubai. Downing Street said Manchester City was not above the rules and should face appropriate consequences if wrongdoing was established, after the Prime Minister's comments about the club's owners; Manchester City deny wrongdoing and are lodging an appeal.
President Putin told a foreign policy forum in Moscow that Russia was not threatening Europe but would respond to aggression, and said any talks would have to be based on Russia's national interests. A Russian drone hit a school in west Kyiv, with children and teachers inside taking cover and no injuries reported. President Trump said he may ask European countries to release diesel stockpiles to lower global prices, which have soared since the start of the US war with Iran; the European Commission said the UK had been in talks with Germany, France, Italy and Ireland about emergency stockpiles, and diesel prices hit record highs. Around 700 prisoners were released early in England and Wales, the first of about 2,000 under a scheme to ease overcrowding, with thousands more expected over the next 10 months; ministers promised monitoring and tagging, while some victims and probation officers raised concerns.
In Tennessee, lawyers for death row inmate Christa Pike said she was critically ill in hospital after two lethal injections failed to end her life; the governor paused executions for the rest of the year and ordered an inquiry. A review found a woman sexually assaulted at a Maidenhead Travelodge in 2022 after a man was given a key to her room was fundamentally failed by the chain at every stage; Travelodge apologized and said it had changed policies. Scottish Sikh activist Jagtar Singh Johal was released on bail in India after almost nine years without conviction, and almost 2,000 people were arrested across France during student protests over poor classroom conditions and resources, including a fire at a school hall in Nantes.
