Pakistani authorities have suspended an air rescue operation aimed at pulling trapped children from a cable car dangling over a high ravine after two were rescued. However, five children and one adult remain. The cable car had been carrying students to school when one of two lines carrying their carriage snapped.

A whistleblower in the Lucy Letby case claims that concerns about the serial killer were not addressed for months before she was finally taken off frontline duties. Dr Stephen Brearey, the lead consultant on the neonatal unit where Letby murdered seven babies and attempted to kill a further six says he made a number of attempts to raise concerns about the 33-year-old neonatal nurse. Meanwhile a nursing boss has denied ignoring doctor’s warnings about Lucy Letby.
Greek media said that the bodies, thought to be of migrants, were discovered in a remote village in northern Greece. The broader Evros region is a popular route for migrants crossing from Turkey into Greece. Read more about the wildfires and the impact they are having.
