It’s been a week that’s seen an apparent thwarted attack at an English RAF base which is used by American bomber jets to strike Iran. An English farmer raised the alarm and has been praised for apparently preventing a potentially catastrophic situation at the base in Fairford in Gloucestershire. The anonymous woman traveling home late found the road blocked by three vans close to the runway, and five masked men jumped out and ran. She called the police and arrests were made under the Explosions Act within minutes. PM Andy Burnham said strong indications suggest Iran played a part, but in what is not yet clear. Five men were bailed, and a British Iranian national has since been arrested.
Also this week, student protests at French high schools across the country turned violent as frustrations over conditions boiled over, sparking clashes with police.
