Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
UAE prosecutors said a flydubai co-pilot, Omani national Hamam al-Hamami, attacked the captain with a crash axe in an attempted terror attack on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, and was subdued by passengers and crew. He was reported to have trained with Oman Air in 2024 but to have been barred from flying over extremist views and possession of extremist material, while Buckinghamshire New University said he had completed a distance learning course in aviation management, not pilot training. The UAE-led investigation, with Israeli agents, is examining whether he was a lone attacker or part of a wider plot or foreign state link.
Two Iranian nationals, Salaam al-Madian and Raman Salehi, were remanded in custody after being charged over a suspected terror plot against Jewish people in Manchester. Prosecutors alleged hostile reconnaissance at Jewish targets including Heaton Park synagogue and the Jewish Museum, contact with a third party believed to be in Iran, and use of encrypted apps to seek components for a homemade chlorine bomb; the home secretary said they arrived in the UK by small boat and extra police patrols would be in place. Fishing leaders said they were being pushed out of business by soaring diesel prices, with fuel costing more than a boat could make, while the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations warned the crisis damaged the UK's ability to produce food. Donald Trump ruled out a diesel export ban after G7 nations agreed to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from emergency reserves; analysis noted record UK pump prices above two pounds a litre and low UK stockpiles.
A UK-Iranian dual national arrested over an incident at RAF Fairford was released on bail, with police continuing to investigate an alleged plot, and tens of thousands protested in Madrid calling for a general strike after opposition politicians failed to agree a solution to Spain's housing crisis. In Australia, a car drove into a crowd in Newcastle, injuring ten people including children, with a five-year-old girl and a 67-year-old man critical; an 18-year-old driver was arrested and police said the crash was not deliberate but alleged erratic driving. In the occupied West Bank, Palestinian families said they were living in fear after Israeli authorities demolished homes and a mosque in a Bedouin community; Israel said the community had no right to build and the structures were unsafe, while Palestinians accused settlers of trying to displace them, and a report described a nearby settler farm expanding and a Medical Aid for Palestinians mobile clinic treating anxiety and depression.
