An easyJet flight from Tenerife to Liverpool returned to the airport after a group of passengers became disruptive following an argument between two families that began in the terminal. Eight British nationals, including two adults and six minors, were removed by police. Spanish air traffic controllers reported the captain turned back for safety reasons, while easyJet said its crew acted appropriately and stressed its zero‑tolerance stance toward disruptive behaviour. The flight later continued to Liverpool without further incident.

Armed police responded to reports of a weapon in Hersham, Surrey, leading Three Rivers Academy, a primary school and a nursery to enter temporary lockdowns before two 18-year-olds were arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon. All lockdowns were later lifted. In a separate case, Anthony Durkan of Islington admitted 26 voyeurism offences, prompting the Metropolitan Police to seek further potential victims after finding extensive illicit recordings on his phone.
