Heavy rain swells major rivers

Major rivers across Britain are flooded after heavy rain, with the government issuing more than 300 flood warnings, travel operators announcing serious disruption and around 1000 homes suffering damage so far. A succession of storms in recent weeks meant prolonged rainfall that started on Thursday fell on saturated ground and quickly caused already-swollen rivers and waterways to burst their banks across England and Wales. The storms have also caused flooding in other parts of Europe in recent days.

Documentary: Chittagong ship breakers

It’s the last port for some of the largest ships in the world, the breaking yards in Chittagong, Bangladesh, process decommissioned vessels when they hit the end of their operational life. Thousands of workers scramble around old cargo ships and tankers beached along the coast, taking them apart with saws, hammers and cutting torches in an ‘extremely dangerous’ process that risks the health and safety of those involved.

UK election: As it happened

Welcome to frank’s coverage of the UK general election. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservatives are facing off with Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party in an election called to break the Brexit deadlock. It’s the third general election since 2015 – with Labour pledging to give voters another say in a second referendum, while the Tories have vowed to take the UK out of the EU next month.

Plane view: Behind the Boeing tragedies

In the wake of two deadly plane crashes – a Lion Air flight that killed 189 people in waters off Indonesia and an Ethiopian Airlines flight five months later that killed all 157 on board – Liz Hayes investigates the jet involved in both, the Boeing 737 Max jetliner. With Boeing’s reputation in tatters and its entire 737 Max fleet grounded across the globe, the world’s largest aircraft company faces serious questions. Was it a design flaw that brought down two supposedly safe and state-of-the-art planes? Do pilots now fear flying the jet? And could the company have averted the catastrophes? While you’re here, read up on how rapid descents terrified passengers on the Lion Air jet’s previous flight, and how a pilot pleaded for more training on the Max before the Ethiopian Airlines tragedy.
