A widespread air traffic control technical glitch has plunged UK air travel into chaos, leading to hundreds of flight cancellations and significant delays. The head of air traffic control is expected to meet with Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander to address the ongoing disruption, which has impacted passengers nationwide.
Meanwhile, diplomatic relations between the UK and Israel have reached a new low following the UK's condemnation of Israeli actions in the West Bank, labeling settlers as 'terrorists' and imposing sanctions. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband stated the UK had to 'call out' the settlements, a move that has prompted Israel to ban 12 British Members of Parliament from entering the country. Prime Minister Andy Burnham is reportedly considering further sanctions.
Domestically, tensions within the Royal Family have reportedly escalated, with concerns at the Palace that Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, are attempting to establish a 'rival court' after their return to the UK. King Charles III has issued a letter reaffirming their status as 'private citizens' and the existing restrictions on their use of HRH titles.
