Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Dame Esther Rantzen has died at 86 of lung cancer, her family announced. Tributes focused on her television career, including That's Life, and her campaigns, especially founding Childline and later the Silver Line. She also campaigned for assisted dying after her diagnosis, and MPs initially passed a bill on the issue before it ultimately failed to become law.
A Dubai-to-Tel Aviv passenger flight with 170 people aboard was plunged into emergency after one pilot allegedly stabbed the other and attempted to crash the plane. Passengers and cabin crew restrained him, and an off-duty British pilot helped bring the aircraft under control before it landed at Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia; one pilot was arrested and questioned by Saudi authorities. Israeli officials said they were convinced it was a terror attack and were examining whether it was a lone-wolf act or state-supported.
The Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, said rejoining the EU was not off the table and that he had begun considering Britain's long-term relationship with its nearest neighbour and largest market, saying his instincts were that Brexit had harmed growth and it was better to be closer. The EU response was cautious, though Emmanuel Macron and Pedro Sanchez welcomed the prospect, and a UK-EU summit was due in Brussels in November. Burnham also confirmed strong indications Iran played a part in the arrests near RAF Fairford, where five men were arrested and later bailed. In relation to the Grenfell Tower fire, in which 72 people died, police handed prosecutors evidence on 54 people and 20 companies over potential offences including corporate manslaughter, with charging decisions promised before next June.

apparently aiming to crash the flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. 170 people were on board. All of those lives could have been lost, but for the bravery of passengers and cabin crew who stormed the cockpit, and the composure and skill of an off-duty British pilot, he brought the plunging airliner under control.

the drop in altitude, utterly horrifying. What more do we know about whether this was an attempted terror attack? Well, Israeli officials speaking to ITV News this evening are now convinced that this was a terror attack.

because this was a terrorist attack, either against Israelis or potentially against Israel itself, maybe a 9-11 style plot to use an aircraft as a guided missile against a particular target. And what's changed since 9-11, of course, is cockpit security, and this was a plot from within the cockpit, a pilot hijacker.
