> A police cordon remains around RAF Fairford as authorities investigate a suspected foiled attack, keeping local residents from returning home. An anonymous villager said she saw several masked men on Sunday and alerted emergency services, believing this may have driven them away and helped raise the alarm. Defence Secretary Wes Streeting urged against speculation about a possible Iran link.
