Download Passengers helped stop knife attack in cockpit of Israel-bound plane
A passenger plane flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv had to land in Saudi Arabia after a fight reportedly broke out between the pilots. Two Israeli officials have said the co-pilot is believed to have stabbed the captain of the plane. Both pilots are being treated in hospital. Israeli and Saudi jets were scrambled after the FlyDubai flight transmitted a code used to report a hijacking.
Also, a BBC investigation tracks how children in Gaza are still falling victim to the conflict there.
And researchers convinced a Chinese AI tool to tell them how to make biological weapons and carry out assassinations. What went wrong?
