The Government is intervening to try to avert the latest strike by British Airways cabin crew - and the airline says it will ask the High Court to declare the walkout illegal.

The new Transport Secretary, Philip Hammond, says he will hold talks with both sides on Monday, just 24 hours before the first of four five-day walkouts is due to begin.
