An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Prosecutors in the United Arab Emirates say a flydubai co-pilot, identified by the UAE as Omani national Hamam al-Hamami, is accused of attempting a terrorist attack on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv on Wednesday. The aircraft's cockpit crash axe was used to attack the captain, Smit Machar, who was badly wounded but opened the cockpit door, allowing passengers and crew to subdue the attacker. The UAE initially described it as a security incident but now calls it a terrorist attack, though the exact motive remains unclear. Investigators are examining whether it was a lone wolf attack or part of a wider plot, and Israel is taking part in the investigation and will be allowed to question the co-pilot. The report said the co-pilot had studied aviation management at Buckinghamshire New University and graduated in 2023, and was reportedly barred by Oman Air in 2024 after concerns were raised about extremist views and material, raising questions about how he was recruited by flydubai.
Farmers' leaders told Sky News that soaring diesel prices could lead to disruption to the UK's food supply, with one North Wiltshire beef farmer saying diesel is needed to bed up cattle and that without it farmers could not feed their livestock or people. The report said diesel costs have nearly doubled since the start of the year, the rise is adding 35 million pounds a week to hauliers' fuel bills, running a long-distance lorry has gone up by more than 9,000 pounds a year, and 97 percent of new lorries registered last year were diesel. It noted that Donald Trump ruled out a diesel export ban hours after G7 nations agreed to release emergency fuel, and an analyst said the release of about 100 million extra barrels, around 17 percent of overall reserves mainly in France and Germany, would probably buy about 10 days and was temporary as shortages stem from conflicts in Europe and the Middle East.
On the eve of the Conservative Party conference, Kemi Badenoch insisted the party is different from the one that lost the election two years ago and pledged to end what she called the childcare cliff edge for high earners. Under her proposals, all parents working 16 or more hours a week would be eligible for 30 hours of free childcare, rather than just people earning less than 100,000 pounds. A political correspondent said the change would cost 700 million pounds a year and be funded by reducing staff at Arts Council England and the Environment Agency, while Labour said the Conservatives set the 100,000 pound threshold in the first place. The programme also reported that Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffiths had discussed ending student loans to overseas students, saving 900 million pounds a year, and that the Conservatives would build 50,000 new prison places at a cost of 2 billion pounds a year funded by cuts to foreign aid and the culture department. It also covered Kevin Sinfield being cheered into a sold-out Old Trafford after completing his seventh ultra-running challenge for the motor neurone disease community, inspired by Rob Burrow, who died in 2024, and raising more than 11 million pounds since his first challenge in 2020.

Charged quote Dubai-Tel Aviv flight makes Saudi emergency landing after pilot fight
They can't not have those axes in the cockpit. So this is a human trust issue. Can we trust the pilots flying us at hundreds of miles an hour in the sky or not? I think we throw around with that brave and hero a lot, don't we? But that pilot who was under attack and then the passengers who came to actually subdue,

But that pilot who was under attack and then the passengers who came to actually subdue, who now turns out to be a terrorist, I mean, that is truly brave.

would build 50,000 new prison places at a cost of £2 billion a year funded by major cuts to foreign aid and the culture department. Now, of course, the response to that is why didn't they do that when they were in power for 14 years? And I think that's why the message that we heard from Kemi Badenoch as she arrived at conference there, cheered by her supporters,

And it's always good to have a positive news story about this, and the amount of money raised is amazing, but this is a disease that affects so many people, and it really can feel like a crushing disappointment if it ever happens to you and your family.

if it ever happens to you and your family. And it can progress very quickly, or it can progress very slowly, but when you're towards the end of the stages of that disease, it really can get quite grisly.
