'Repairs are underway': F-35B grounded in Thiruvananthapuram moved to hangar; UK thanks India for support
Monday, 7 July 2025 A Royal Navy F-35B fighter, grounded in Thiruvananthapuram since June 14 due to an emergency landing, has been moved to a maintenance hangar for repairs. The UK Ministry of Defence expressed gratitude to Indian authorities for their support. British engineers arrived via RAF aircraft with specialized equipment to fix the aircraft, which experienced issues during refuelling.
In one of the largest police operations in over a decade, 474 people were arrested in central London during a mass protest against the UK’s ban on Palestine Action. The Metropolitan Police confirmed 466 arrests for “showing support” for the proscribed group, plus eight others for offences including assaulting officers. The protest, organised by Defend Our Juries, saw hundreds holding signs opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action.
Critics, including Amnesty International, slammed the arrests as “deeply concerning” and a threat to free speech, saying the demonstrators were peaceful. The government defended the ban, calling Palestine Action a non-peaceful group, while announcing £8.5m in additional aid to Gaza. The crackdown follows the June proscription of the group after activists vandalised RAF aircraft in protest over UK arms sales to Israel.
