British travel agent Thomas Cook collapses into administration
The repatriation of 155,000 Brits abroad by the CAA has begun, while all flights and holidays have been cancelled. Some 21,000 jobs are at risk, including 9,000 in the UK.
Thomas Cook, a British holiday bookings company, has collapsed into administration. It has left hundreds of thousands of passengers stranded, while all flights and holidays booked through the firm have been cancelled. With 21,000 jobs at risk, the dream which began 178 years ago is over.
Also on the programme, a special one-day UN climate summit; and a refugee crisis in Greece.
