That obviously didn� t happen he . Pilots and their crews will be trained to deal with turbulence. This is like an incredibly severe incident of turbulence, you would touch taught to fasten your seat belt for safety reasons. Generally, the advice is to fastened throughout the advice is to fastened throughout the flight, although this was a long flight. It was about 11 hours so people do nip about, go to the toilet, get food served, but it can be difficult, however much they plan ahead, it can be hard to predict for the pallets are about to head into turbulence.

We are still establishing what exactly went on, but it was a large drop that passengers felt as a direct result of Hitting Turbulence for the pallets reacting. They did divert to bangkok, the plane was cruising when the planes sharply dropped which people felt. Scary situation. It is incredibly tragic that somebody has died, the pilot has clearly managed to control the plane and diverged to bangkok. It has long the plane safely, but i don� t want to say safely, but i don� t want to say safely since people were injured. But he has managed to keep control and people were able to make it to bangkok after the diversion. It is sad that a 73 year old british man has died following this incident, it is likely he had a heart attack. Here are some images of people inside the plane as they were being taken off. The latest video, still pictures and accounts website. The uk government has in the past few hours set out details of the infected blood Compensation Scheme. The Cabinet OfficeMinisterjohn Glen said those directly or indirectly affected would receive compensation. 30,000 people were infected with hepatitis and hiv while receiving nhs treatment between the 1970s and 1990s and 3,000 have since died. Yesterday, a Public Inquiry said victims were repeatedly failed, with evidence of a cover up. Here� s our Health Correspondent dominic hughes. Very good of you to join us. I know you had a big day yesterday. Thank you for having us. It has been a significant 2a hours for those lives who have been touched by the infected blood scandal. The publication of sir Brian Langstaff� s report was surrounded by high emotion. Now the focus moves to what real action the government will take, particularly the Compensation Deal and what it signifies for those like jade, whose dad paul was one of those infected. I think for me it symbolises the acknowledgement and recognition, of course, and the justice, and also the opportunities lost, that everyone has lost throughout their lives, the infected and the affected, and it also represents the lives that were lost, first and foremost, and the wrongs that were done. As a sibling who has lost a sibling, there are parts of my life i will never have that i was expecting to have in terms of being able to recall those memories of childhood that| only your sibling can do. And i dont think money can replace that. But it certainly helps to feel that its recognised as an impact to all the people that were affected. There have been some limited financial for Support Schemes for those caught up in the infected blood scandal. So far, 4,000 survivors and bereaved relatives have already been paid an interim amount of £100,000. But a final Compensation Scheme for all those affected, including family members, has not yet been agreed. It is thought the final cost could total £10 billion, maybe more. It� s notjust the harm caused by the infections that requires compensation, it� s also the wrongs suffered by those affected, that must also be compensated for. So when a person with an eligible infection has been accepted onto the scheme, their affected loved ones will be able to apply for compensation in their own right. For those like robert, infected in the 1970s, there is an urgency to compensation. As an affected person, your life is continuing. But when you are dying, you feel slightly differently about what compensation means. A Lump Sum Payment, a Monthly Payment to somebody who, ridiculously, is going to die in four months time, what do i care about next years payments . I want a lump sum now and i want to be able to go and have a good time. Compensation is very different for an infected person. Lizzie lost her mum. She was told she had hepatitis c, there was no support. It had a huge impact, both financial and emotional. So many people were infected i and affected, and their lives have been turned upside down through no fault of their own. People have lost houses, i people have lost marriages. I lost myjob at the time i because i was so distraught at the death of my mum. I had to borrow money to pay for her funeral flowers. But its notjust about me personally, its about all of us. We have all suffered. For the infected and the affected, these days are the culmination of years of campaigning. But they are determined to hold the government to account. Dominic hughes, bbc news. Let� s speak to des collins, a senior partner of collins solicitors, which represents 1,500 victims and theirfamilies my my immediate reaction, and i have had a couple of hours to reach a lot of paperwork is that i� m more confused than i was before the announcement was made. This announcement was made. This announcement and paperwork. Reduced today as a result of a three processor. They were asked how a possible Station Scheme for the purpose of that so that we would know how it was going, but the government did not put it on a shelf. So by staff about this inquiry process, he looked at this Francis Report He Rubber stamped it. This time last year, he produced an interim report, and he pretty much adopted the Robert Francis report. His stance was that this report should be working Compensation Scheme last year, that didn� t happen last year it happened by chris for the springtime. What we have today is a lot of paperwork doing not much more than the staff and france� s proposals. A little bit of detail, but unfortunately it only serves to confuse further. Because whoever has click Civil Servant has had it, didn� t understand what was happening. Is it clear to you as a lawyer or the families when they will receive a payment to .

Those are the two issues they wanted resolution and we don� t have it this afternoon. Let me ask you about accountability because we have heard some people call for criminal prosecutions. Do you think after all of these years, thatis you think after all of these years, that is still a possibility . How do you see there being real accountability . I you see there being real accountability . You see there being real accountability . I think real accountability, accountability . I think real accountability, in accountability . I think real accountability, in the accountability . I think real| accountability, in the Sense Accountability . I think real accountability, in the sense which the victims regard it, will only come to pass if there are prosecutions. There may or may not be prosecutions but that is really all that would satisfy the majority of people for whom we act. It is certainly not out of the question that there will be prosecutions. There has been no indication so far, save for one minor indication in the Brian Langstaff interim report where he said that wrongs were done on an individual, collective and systemic basis. It is the use of the word systemic which point in the direction of corporate manslaughter. But whether it will happen, i don� t know. There is certainly room for it here. 3 know.

Let me tell you in the last few seconds, the defence has rested the case in that trial without calling donald trump as a witness. We will be live in the courthouse in the next few minutes. Also on the programme, iran� s stages the first Funeral Procession for their late resident Ebrahim Raisi who died in a Helicopter Crash on sunday. The late president. All on that more on that in a moment or two. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. A you are live with bbc news. Breaking news, let me tell you from the new york donald trump hush money trial, the newsjust in in the the new york donald trump hush money trial, the news just in in the last minute also that donald trump� s defence has rested in the case, in the hush money criminal trial, without calling donald trump as a witness. Many people thought he would never actually take the stand but it was always a possibility, he had set at different stages perhaps he would. But the defence has rested. Let� s go straight to new york and the courthouse. Nada tawfik is in new york. It looks as though we have heard all we are going to from the witnesses in this case. We are going to from the witnesses in this case in this case. That is absolutely ri. Ht, in this case. That is absolutely right, matthew. In this case. That is absolutely right, matthew. The in this case. That is absolutely right, matthew. The defence l in this case. That is absolutely right, matthew. The defence called just two witnesses, of course, the burden of proof is on the prosecution to prove their case but nevertheless, the question that hung over this entire historic trial was whether the former President Donald Trump, who is running for a return to the white house, would take the risk and take the stand to testify in his own defence, to testify and give the jury in his own defence, to testify and give thejury insight in his own defence, to testify and give the jury insight about his intent during this entire alleged scheme and cover up that prosecutors have spent weeks outlining to the jury. Nevertheless, there were signals that despite Public Comments that donald trump would testify, that donald trump would testify, that he was not going to. His legal team often told the judge that they were still debating that. So now we know for sure that donald trump will not be taking the stand in his defence. And so this case rattles right to its end. The prosecutors have rested after calling 20 witnesses, presenting over 200 pieces of evidence and exhibits over several weeks, and the defence called two witnesses, and one of them created perhaps one of the most dramatic moments in court yesterday, when he was reprimanded by the judge, who gave him a harsh dressing down, even emptying the entire courtroom of reporters as well, accusing the witness, robert costello, of staring him down and not following proper court decorum. But the judge has not following proper court decorum. But thejudge has now not following proper court decorum. But the judge has now told the jury that they will return next tuesday after the long Holiday Weekend here in the united states, to hear the Closing Arguments by both sides. He gave them the standard instructions to keep an open mind about the case and not to research it or talk about it with anyone. He said those instructions had greater significance now, more than ever. So a long Holiday Weekend. In the meantime, both sides are going to be debating how they want the judge to issue instructions to the jury. They will be debating that with the judge until Closing Statements next week. And as we get to the culmination of this historic case, i suppose for both sides, it will be about trying to work out where the jury is going to work out where the jury is going to land and the narrative that surrounds that absolutely crucial decision. ~ ,. , surrounds that absolutely crucial decision. ~ ,.
