A major incident has been declared and homes have been evacuated in a village near an RAF base which hosts the United States Air Force.

Several men have been arrested on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act, Gloucestershire police said. An army explosive ordnance disposal team is currently examining a number of vehicles.

Whitehall officials say the investigation into the incident is being led by counter-terror police.

The base has been recently used to deploy American bombers since the country's conflict in Iran began on 28 February.

Internet and call services have been disrupted in Ethiopia's northern region of Tigray following the outbreak of fighting this week between regional forces and the national army.

Sources have told the Reuters news agency that the group which controls Tigray, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), ordered the communications blackout, with one suggesting it was to disrupt government drones.

The TPLF has not commented.

The BBC is unable to report from Tigray and surrounding areas.

Even before the current disruption, finding video and images to establish what is happening on the ground has been a challenge.

South Africa's new ambassador to Washington, Roelf Meyer, has a personal reason to challenge US President Donald Trump's assertion that there is a genocide against white Afrikaners - he is "a born Afrikaner" himself.

The notion of a mass attack on the white Afrikaner minority in South Africa does not exist, he told the BBC, adding that his identity gave him the legitimacy to say so.

Meyer was one of the chief mediators to end white-minority rule known as apartheid in South Africa in the 1990s, and he was appointed ambassador to the US in April, after diplomatic relations between the US and South Africa plummeted.

In an interview with the BBC, Meyer said the facts about violence in South Africa had been misrepresented and he never got a clear answer about where this "misdirection of information" was coming from.

Last year, Trump accused South Africa of white genocide in a meeting with President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House and launched a US refugee pathway for Afrikaners.

Massive floods and landslides swept through border towns and villages in Nepal and Tibet a month ago, wiping out thousands of houses and destroying energy infrastructure.

Since then, 1,400 people are known to have died, thousands are still missing and many are displaced.

Scientists say the floods were caused by a collapse of rock wall and glacier ice near the peak of Langtang Lirung, a mountain on Nepal's side of the Himalayas.

Manchester City may be expelled from the Premier League after being found guilty of the vast majority of of 115 breaches of the financial rules it had been accused of.

Sanctions on the club, which are yet to be announced, may include exclusion from the UK’s top football league, a points deduction or a huge fine.

The news of the guilty verdict was broken by the Athletic, which reported that 114 of the 115 charges have been upheld. The BBC has been told that the club is planning to appeal.

The news came 1,327 days after City were charged by the Premier League in February 2023 following a four-year investigation, and 22 months since a hearing by an independent commission concluded.

The seismic decisions leaves a huge number of questions about what will happen next, what City's punishment might be and how the current season will be affected.

One possibility is that rival Premier League sides may take legal action for compensation, claiming they have been impacted by City's actions. A number of clubs have already sought legal advice over whether they would have a case for financial compensation.

There is precedent for such compensation claims. In June 2026, Everton were told they must pay Burnley £35m after they broke profit and sustainability regulations.

Yemens' civil war has flared up in recent weeks, as the Iran-backed Houthi movement seized strategically important stretches of the Red Sea coast, in a rapid offensive.

Oil prices have risen on fears of further disruption to the global economy, following six months of war between the US, Israel and Iran.

Hundreds of people have reportedly been killed on both sides during the Houthis' advance, which came after the collapse of a four-year informal ceasefire. The UN says more than 120,000 people have been displaced by the escalation.

But who are the Houthis, what are they targeting, and what will the impact be on the rest of the world?

The Security Brief's Christian Fraser and Mikey Kay explain.
