> Police say two Latvian men who live in the UK were arrested on suspicion of trespassing at RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire. Officers found a small hole in the base’s perimeter fence, and the men were charged with entering a prohibited site to prejudice the UK’s interests. London counterterrorism police are leading the investigation; police said there is currently no indication the incident is linked to last week’s events near RAF Fairford.
