A flight to Israel from the UAE has been diverted and made an emergency landing after the pilot was violently attacked in a suspected hijack attempt. In part one of today’s Iran: the Latest, Roland Oliphant and Venetia Rainey bring you the latest news from this fast-developing story, including how the flydubai plane nosedived 17,000-foot in under a minute after a suspected knife attack by the co-pilot and then turned back to land in Saudi Arabia. They look at what we know and don’t know about the Israel plane attack, why Israeli authorities are treating it as a terror incident, reports that the co-pilot was Omani, and the potential security implications for Israel, Iran, Lebanon and the wider region.
