At least 200 killed as Air India plane to London crashes moments after take-off in Ahmedabad

A London-bound Air India plane carrying 242 people crashes after take-off in Ahmedabad

The local police chief tells the ѿý that 204 bodies have been recovered - it's not known how many of those victims were on the plane, or were on the ground when the plane crashed. One passenger has survived, a local police chief says, with Indian media reporting he is British. The plane crashed into accommodation used by doctors. We speak to a British MP in touch with the family members of some on board.

Also on the programme: Rioting – described by the police as “racist thuggery” – in Northern Ireland. And the new images from space that are helping explain the science of the sun.
