Three vans were spotted near RAF Fairford in the early hours of Sunday 27th September and the police were called. A major incident was declared, and everyone in the small village of Whelford was evacuated.

RAF Fairford is a military airfield located in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds. It is owned by the UK's Ministry of Defence, but is operated on a day-to-day basis by the United States Air Force under an agreement between the UK and US.

Five men, all British nationals in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of explosives offences and terrorism offences, and they were later released on bail. A dual UK-Iranian national, aged 25, has also since been arrested on suspicion of terror offences.

BBC Reporter Steve Knibbs visited the usually quiet village in rural Gloucestershire to speak to its residents and find out more.

During this special programme presented by Maryam Moshiri we take a global perspective - with our global teams we hear about the impact - from Asia to Africa and explain what is being done, and what you as a consumer can do too.

Tennessee death row prisoner Christa Pike survived two attempted lethal injections on Wednesday - raising further concerns across the US about the use of the drug pentobarbital in executions, and capital punishment in general.

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has ordered a full investigation, and temporarily halted all executions scheduled for later this year.

The UN human rights chief Volker Turk has urged the state not to make a new attempt to execute Pike, saying the physical and mental suffering arising from failed executions is "abhorrent and cruel".

Christa Pike was sentenced to death in 1996 for the murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer.
