Summary
There's a "critical incident" at the English port and holidaymakers are queuing for hours and hours. The BBC’s Katy Austin is in Dover to explain what's going on.
Adam chats to Jeremy Spake, star of nineties "docudrama" "Airport", and travel podcaster, Lisa Francesca Nand, about the state of air travel this summer.
And we dip into our sister podcast, Ukrainecast, to hear about the grain deal struck between Ukraine and Russia.
Today’s Newscast was made by Alix Pickles and Cordelia Hemming. The technical producer was Emma Crowe. The assistant editor was Sam Bonham.
