> The programme highlights French school protests, the reported “starvation” of Oleshky, Brazil’s elections and the heroism aboard FlyDubai flight 1073. Witnesses said the co-pilot tried to kill the captain and wreck the cockpit controls, sending the plane into a descent of more than 14,000 feet in 30 seconds. Despite repeated stab wounds, Captain Smit Machchhar opened the door, enabling passengers to overpower the suspect and regain control.
