A family of four from North Wales has been stranded in Greece after TUI canceled their flight from Preveza to Manchester because of a missing aircraft service-kit component. Craig and Becky Davies said they received little practical assistance or information from TUI, despite needing to return to the UK because Becky's father is receiving palliative care. The family was offered €30 per person for food and drink and later sent on a five-hour coach journey to Athens, but no confirmed rescue flight had been arranged. TUI has been approached for comment.

A major fire spread across multiple floors and the roof space of the former Midland Bank building on Commercial Street in Tredegar. South Wales Fire and Rescue Service deployed six pumping appliances, a water bowser, rescue tender and aerial ladder platform, extinguishing the blaze after several hours. Crews remained at the scene to damp down hotspots.
