It's expected to be the busiest day of the year for air UK traffic controllers, who will have to handle more than 8,800 flights.

More school exclusions over drink and drugs | More school exclusions over drink and drugs |
School exclusions in England for drug and alcohol-related issues reached a record level last year, government statistics show. Some 9,250 were handed out for this reason in 2015-16, with another 2,140 exclusions for sexual misconduct. "Schools need to make sure they have a drugs policy in place to deal with this issue," said Michael O'Toole, of the charity Mentor UK, "but at the same time we need to make sure those children who are excluded for drug offences don't suffer in the long term." | School exclusions in England for drug and alcohol-related issues reached a record level last year, government statistics show.

Apology demanded after airport terror stop for reading Syrian book | Apology demanded after airport terror stop for reading Syrian book |
A British woman says she is going to court to get an apology from tour operator Thomson after she was questioned by counter-terrorism police for reading a book on Syrian art while on a plane. Faizah Shaheen's lawyers told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme she believes she was singled out when she arrived at Doncaster Airport because of her race. Ms Shaheen, a Muslim whose work in mental health care in part involves looking for the signs of radicalisation in young people, said she had "felt upset and distressed". Thomson said it was "really sorry if Ms Shaheen remains unhappy with how she feels she was treated", but added that its crews were "encouraged to be vigilant and share any information or questions with the relevant authorities". | A British woman says she is going to court to get an apology from tour operator Thomson after she was questioned by counter-terrorism police for reading a book on Syrian art while on a plane.
