Hi @easyJet - we are one of the dozens of families whose bags did not arrive on yesterday’s flight EJU8095 from London, Gatwick to Palma, Majorca. We filled in a delayed bag form per your suggestion but have not received any confirmation that you got the form, nor any information as to where the bags are or when they might be returned. It has been more than 24 hours. Please can you advise how to proceed. No one at Easy Jet is responding. We have gone to Palma airport twice but they say they have no information. Thank you

Channel 4 News was at the scene of an airstrike in Lebanon that hit near a hospital just moments after a team of paramedics attended a funeral for one of their colleagues in Nabatieh. It comes as President Trump has announced that a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will begin later tonight. More than a million people have been displaced by the Israeli invasion of the south, while airstrikes have struck across the country, targeting villages and major cities.

David Ignatius: “After talking Sunday with people close to the negotiations, my sense is that the Islamabad impasse won’t necessarily mean a return to war. The blockade is a pressure tactic, to be sure, but not primarily a military one. Trump has no appetite for further armed conflict. He knows that the upsides are limited and the “tail risk,” as financial traders like to say, is large. His aim instead is to put a severely battered Iran into an economic vice to see if its leaders will set a different course in a big, comprehensive deal. The American side expects that despite last weekend’s standoff in Islamabad, contacts will probably continue, through Pakistani intermediaries. Trump’s destination is still the exit ramp.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
