EasyJet flight makes emergency landing after smoke smell on board
An easyJet flight to the UK was forced to make an emergency landing after a smell of smoke on board caused alarm. The Airbus A320 aircraft was taking holidaymakers from Cyprus to Bristol Airport when passengers smelled smoke inside the plane. The plane was about an hour and 20 minutes into the flight from Paphos yesterday and cruising over the Mediterranean when the pilot was alerted. The passenger plane had reached an altitude of about 36,000 ft when the pilot sent an emergency code to the nearest air traffic control, signalling an issue on board. The flight was diverted to Izmir Adnan Menderes International Airport on Turkey's coast at about 9.23pm local time. EasyJet told the Mirror: 'We can confirm that flight EZY2902 from Paphos to Bristol diverted to Izmir due to a technical issue which resulted in a smoke smell onboard.

UK Government advises against all travel to Israel as tensions with Iran escalate
The Foreign Office issued the urgent guidance on Sunday, saying people should avoid all travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Brits have been warned not to travel to Israel as violence in the region continues amid growing tensions between Israel and Iran. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Officer issued the urgent travel advice on Sunday to advise "against all travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories". David Lammy has said that the safety of British nationals "remains our top priority". Israel and Iran exchanged fire overnight, after Sir Keir Starmer said that the UK was sending more RAF jets to the region amid the increasing hostilities. The FCDO also warned that anyone travelling against the advice could find their travel insurance invalid. Sir Keir Starmer continued in diplomatic discussions about the conflict, in a call with the president of the UAE on Sunday. According to a readout of his conversation with His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan issued by Downing Street, "they discussed the grave situation in the Middle East". "The Prime Minister reiterated that his priority is diplomacy and dialogue, in order to de-escalate as quickly as possible," it added. Earlier on Sunday, Rachel Reeves said that sending more jets to the region "does not mean" the UK is at war. Additional refuelling aircraft have been deployed from UK bases and more fast Typhoon jets will be sent over, it is understood. The Chancellor also didn't rule out the UK "potentially" offering more support to Israel in the future, but declined to comment on "what might happen in the future". Asked whether the announcement from the Prime Minister means the UK is at war, Ms Reeves told Sky News: "No, it does not mean that we are at war. "And we have not been involved in these strikes or this conflict, but we do have important assets in the region and it is right that we send jets to protect them and that's what we've done. "It's a precautionary move." Meanwhile, oil prices surged surged on Friday after Israel's initial strikes against Iran's nuclear programme, sparking fears of increasing prices in the UK. The Chancellor told the BBC that there is "no complacency" from the Treasury on the issue and "we're obviously, monitoring this very closely as a government". Sir Keir has declined to rule out the possibility of intervening in the conflict entirely, and the Chancellor indicated on Sunday that the UK could "potentially" support Israel in the future. Britain last announced it had deployed fighter jets in the region in last year, when the Government said British aircraft had played a part in efforts to prevent further escalation. Asked whether the UK would come to Israel's aid if asked, the Chancellor told Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips: "We have, in the past, supported Israel when there have been missiles coming in. "I'm not going to comment on what might happen in the future, but so far, we haven't been involved, and we're sending in assets to both protect ourselves and also potentially to support our allies." Pushed again on whether the UK would deploy assets in support of Israel if asked, she said: "What we've done in the past (...) is help protect Israel from incoming strikes. "So a defensive activity." She added: "I'm not going to rule anything out at this stage (...) it's a fast moving situation, a very volatile situation." It comes after Iranian state media said Tehran had warned it would target US, UK and French bases in the region if the countries help Israel thwart Iran's strikes, according to reports on Saturday. Conservative shadow chancellor Sir Mel Stride has backed the Government's decision to send further RAF jets to the region, telling the BBC it is the "right thing" to do. He told the BBC: "We've got assets out there in the UAE, Oman, Cyprus, they need to be protected given that Iran has suggested they may be under threat."
