At least four people have died following a plane has crashed in Croatia, killing at least four people.
The aircraft went down near Medulin, a town on the Istria peninsula, a police statement said, with images from the scene showing the wreckage of the small plane in a field with emergency services.
The official HINA news agency reported that it was a German plane that took off from Austria and was due to land in Medulin, The Mirror reports.

The crash occurred at around 11.20am in the Campanoz area, between Kastijun and Medulin, near the Medulin airport and there are unconfirmed reports that there may have been two more people on board along with the four people who are known to have died.
Local pilot Nijaz Delic told the Index news portal that the plane “spiralled (in the air) and crashed into the ground.” It was unknown how many people were on the aircraft and no other details were immediately available.
“I don’t know how the accident happened. For reasons currently unknown, the pilot (…) was supposed to land at the sports airport in Medulin, made a spiral above the Kaštijun landfill and then crashed into the ground. That’s the only information we have,” stated Mr Delic.
The plane is reported to have been Bonanza G36 plane with an investigation underway into why it crashed.

Aviation expert Zeljko Marusic told Croatian news outlet Glas Istre that a spiral dive is “one of the most dangerous conditions” at low altitude as the “speed, structural loads and rate of altitude loss increase simultaneously.”
Unlike in a classic spin, a spiral dive leaves the aircraft usually uncontrollable and a key element of the investigation will be into how the plane got into this position.
Mr Marusic continued: “In general aviation, a spiral dive rarely occurs without a previous cause. It is most often preceded by a certain disruption in flight – a technical problem, loss of spatial orientation, wrong estimation of speed, an attempt to correct the path at low altitude or a sudden reaction to an unexpected situation.
“In the case of smaller aircraft, the last minutes of the flight are particularly critical when the pilot has the least time to react and the smallest safety margin of height.”

Some homes sell quickly, sometimes within days of being listed. Others stay up for months, with viewings slowing down and listings lingering while sellers wait for the right buyer to come along. In parts of the UK where property prices are at their highest, that waiting game appears to be stretching out for longer.
His naked body was found in an underground water tunnel on June 27, six days after he left home
19:48, 04 Jun 2026Updated 19:53, 04 Jun 2026
A retired PSNI officer has said there is “absolutely nothing at all” in a photo taken on Noah Donohoe’s phone after his last known sighting that would have helped police find the schoolboy.
The inquest, which is being heard with a jury, is now in its 18th week at Belfast Coroner’s Court.
Noah, 14, had set off on his bicycle from his home in south Belfast on the evening of Sunday June 21, planning to meet two friends in the Cavehill area in the north of the city.

However, he was later seen on CCTV footage cycling along York Road. The last sighting of him was on Northwood Drive.
His naked body was found in an underground water tunnel on June 27, six days after he left home. A post-mortem examination found the likely cause of death was drowning.
On Thursday the inquest heard evidence from retired PSNI Detective Constable Wilson.

Mr Wilson was a digital media investigator (DMI), acting as a “first point of contact” for digital inquiries and was involved in the search of Noah’s Alcatel phone which was found by a member of the public.
The inquest has previously heard evidence from Detective Inspector Cunningham, from the PSNI’s cyber unit, in relation to a photograph of what appears to be a hand captured on the device at 6.50pm on June 21, after he had last been seen.
Under questioning from Declan Quinn, junior counsel to the coroner, Mr Wilson agreed that his job was to review the available information on Noah’s phone and make a “judgment call” as to what should be elevated for further investigation.
The jury viewed notes from Mr Wilson’s diary of his actions on the 24, 25 and 26 of June at which point he said “by far the major priority is to find Noah and find him alive”.
He said the search of the schoolboy’s phone was to find clues as to “what might have triggered him, where might he have gone” and to “try and understand the person”.
Mr Quinn outlined there is “concern from next of kin that this photograph wasn’t tagged” to become part of further inquiries, which Mr Wilson said he is now aware of.
The barrister said the photograph “appears to be taken at a time after Noah had left his home for the last time and after he was last seen in Northwood road”.

Mr Wilson said he didn’t recall seeing the specific photograph but that he “physically opened every photograph and asked if there’s anything that would tell us where that photograph was taken”.
Looking at the picture, which was displayed to the court, Mr Wilson said it is “clear that a person was holding the phone but as to what you could do to identify that person, absolutely nothing”.
He agreed some shrubbery and greenery could be seen in the background, but asked if there was anything that assisted police in finding Noah, he said: “Absolutely nothing at all.”
The retired detective then faced questions from Brenda Campbell KC, representing Noah’s mother Fiona, who said that one way of finding a missing person would be to discern “the possibility of third party involvement”.

Mr Wilson said officers would consider “is there any crime practiced against them or is it a missing person inquiry, but yes you are considering if there’s any other factors at play”, adding that “hypotheses are directed by the senior investigating officers”.
He said he “didn’t recall” if he knew the working hypothesis and his role was to see if anything in digital media could help to find Noah.
Asked by Ms Campbell if it would have been important to know the working hypothesis, Mr Wilson said “irrespective of whether I knew or didn’t know that wouldn’t change anything I was doing at that point” in terms of “interrogating devices”.
“Nothing would have changed whether I knew or didn’t know,” he said.

Ms Campbell questioned the importance of “investigative curiosity” to which Mr Wilson said he “100%” had a curious mindset.
The barrister also said Mr Wilson spoke with Ms Donohoe when Noah had been missing for three days, describing her as “desperate” for news of her son and being “entirely reliant” on the police at that point in time.
Captioning her post, Molly wrote: “…and then there were 4.” She has yet to share the name they have chosen for their new arrival, or their gender, but just days before giving birth, she uploaded a YouTube video telling fans about a name she had in mind.

However, fans believe they have worked out the gender of the newborn. On TikTok, fans noticed a blue blanket folded up alongside a crib, which Molly showed in her latest YouTube video. Fans have jumped on this as evidence.
A fan penned: “Why is no one talking about the blue baby blanket in the background of Molly’s two new vlogs?” A second wrote: “I think baby boy.” Meanwhile, a third went on to type: “Defo a boy!! I’m the only one that has noticed this?!”
However, some stated that the blanket could have merely been carefully planned by Molly, with one writing: “Molly would have known this would happen that’s why it’s a blanket for both genders.” The blanket in question features both blue and pink, as well as yellow.

And others believe they have worked out the name of Molly and Tommy’s second child. Theories escalated after Bambi was spotted wearing a Miffy T-shirt from the 1955 book, while other guesses include Bunny, Dusk, Dream and Cloud.
But while no name has been officially announced, Molly told fans she feels they may be “disappointed” by the name she and her fiancée chose. Speaking in her YouTube video, Molly said: “Final bets do we think I’m having girl or I’m having a boy? And what do we think we’re calling it? I think people are going to be a bit disappointed, upon reflection I don’t think it’s that crazy.
“I know people are going to pronounce it wrong … I just feel like people are going to say it wrong because when I mention the name to a few people or I’ve spelt it out because I have this big complex about people saying it wrong, and then a few of my friends have said it completely wrong – Like absolutely not how you pronounce it.

“But then also, if you know this word or you know the name, you would pronounce it how it is – For me I just see it as exactly what it is.”
She went on to say: “It’s definitely not as different as Bambi, I wouldn’t say, but I have only ever heard one other child be called it and it’s not someone in the public eye, it’s literally just someone I am connected to through a friend, someone they know, their child is called it. But I just think it sounds so good with the surname Fury that is another reason why I love it so much.”
Molly also hinted that she is considering stitching the name of their newborn into the back of Tommy’s shorts ahead of his fight with Eddie Hall at the AO Arena in Manchester on June 13. She added: “I am thinking, do I put the name of baby number two on his fight shorts? Because he always has Bambi’s name on his fight shorts and I don’t want to leave the baby off. Maybe that’s how we announce the name on his fight shorts, that would actually be quite cool.”
The next stage of the Cardiff project will see the council develop a funding strategy
Plans have been approved for a new pedestrian and cycle bridge to be built across the River Taff. Approved on Tuesday, June 4 at Cardiff Council’s Planning Committee, the bridge will span from The Marl in Grangetown to Hamadryad Park in Butetown.

The new crossing is part of the council’s regeneration of the Channel View area plans, a scheme within the Council’s ambitious housing project to deliver 4,000 new homes across the city.
Together, the development and new crossing is aimed at helping create a more connected, accessible neighbourhood, supporting both existing and future residents.
A funding strategy has yet to be confirmed but it will be developed as part of the next stage of the scheme. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here

The bridge will provide a more accessible, safer and user-friendly route, improving the experience for people walking, wheeling and cycling between Grangetown and Butetown.
At around 165 metres in length and six metres wide, the bridge has been designed with space for both pedestrians and cyclists.
Cabinet member for housing and communities, Cllr Lynda Thorne, said: “The new bridge plays an important role in our vision for the regeneration of Channel View and the wider area, as well as improving active travel across the city.
“It will provide a safe, dedicated route for walking and cycling, creating a new east–west connection across the river that will encourage more sustainable journeys and reduce reliance on cars. We will continue to explore funding options to help deliver the bridge and strengthen key routes in our active travel network.”
As thousands of music fans prepare to travel to the Isle of Wight Festival, Hovertravel is highlighting the excellent value available on its fares, with passengers able to save up to 26% and more than £9 on selected return journeys when compared with equivalent festival fares on the Portsmouth to Ryde route.
Everything you need to know about Cambridge East redevelopment after huge announcement | Cambridgeshire Live
Need to know
Cambridge East is set to deliver one of the UK’s largest urban extension projects by transforming a 700-acre site into a new city district, according to the government
The Hills Group and Homes England plan to build more than 10,000 homes(Image: The Hill Group)
Everything you need to know about the Cambridge East redevelopment:
It was announced on Wednesday, June 3, that Cambridge City Airport and its adjacent land, previously owned by Marshall Group, had been sold to Homes England and The Hill Group to create a new neighbourhood called Cambridge East.
The site is expected to provide more than 10,000 homes and at least three million square feet of commercial space to support around 9,000 jobs.
The developers will also consider creating a regional training hub, which they say will develop local skills and promote long-term careers in construction and related industries.
Marshall Group aims to relocate its operations by the middle of 2029. An initial phase of up to 500 homes is expected to begin in the same year.
The plans also include supporting infrastructure, community facilities like schools and healthcare provision, and public green spaces.
A new regeneration body will oversee the delivery of the new homes, jobs, and transport links in Greater Cambridge. The government says the Greater Cambridge Development Corporation will ensure transport and services are built alongside new homes and “not as an afterthought”.
The corporation aims to bring land together for development, invest in key sites, and unlock stalled and derelict land, according to government officials.
The announcement follows a consultation over the plans earlier this year. It builds on the up to £800 million already committed to kickstarting development around Cambridge and Oxford.
The development will benefit from the proposed Cambridge East station, which could improve connectivity to central Cambridge and London. Subject to planning consent and funding, the line could also extend towards Bedford and Oxford.
Thomas Tuchel has given Jude Bellingham the number ten jersey but the Real Madrid midfielder is facing a battle to make the starting line-up ahead of Morgan Rogers
It would be easy to put numbers one to eleven together and come up with England’s starting eleven for World Cup 2026. After all, that was almost the case at Euro 2024. Gareth Southgate was far from unusual in getting annoyed when his team selection was leaked, but he pretty much announced his preferred starting line-up ahead of the tournament in Germany.
Advertisement
In fact, he pretty much announced his tactics, giving Trent Alexander-Arnold the number eight jersey and duly playing him in midfield against Serbia in England’s opener, a 1-0 win in Gelsenkirchen. The only squad member with a number higher than eleven to start that game was Kieran Trippier, number 12. That was because Southgate had given Luke Shaw the number three shirt, despite the Manchester United defender being injured and unavailable for the first three weeks of the tournament.
In the final against Spain, Southgate played one to eleven, with the exception of eight, Alexander-Arnold. That midfield experiment had long been consigned to the dustbin and Kobbie Mainoo, with 26 on his back, was the numerical outlier.
Thomas Tuchel is no Southgate but it would not exactly be a seismic shock if the players numbered one to eleven in his squad started England’s first game against Croatia in Dallas on June 17. That would give us the following line-up.
Pickford – Konsa, Guehi, Stones, O’Reilly – Anderson, Rice – Saka, Bellingham, Rashford – Kane. In however you want to categorise the formation.

The right-back position is up for grabs – Reece James’s number 24 is probably club-connected – and Anthony Gordon, number 18, has a case to start ahead of Marcus Rashford. But the most contentious spot is the one numerically occupied by Jude Bellingham.
Assuming they are both fit, it looks like Bellingham or Morgan Rogers for Tuchel’s first line-up. One or the other.
And as good a season as Rogers enjoyed for Aston Villa, topped off by a very nice goalscoring performance in the Europa League final, it should be Bellingham. The Real Madrid player had a slightly interrupted season but made 40 appearances for his club, contributing eight goals and five assists.

Rogers’ numbers are better – 14 goals and nine assists in 55 appearances. But Bellingham is what Americans refer to as a ‘clutch player’. He can produce brilliance in moments of extreme pressure.
He has done it for club and for country, most notably when he produced an overhead kick to equalise against Slovakia in the round of 16 five minutes into added time. That was in late June, 2024, and should not, of course, guarantee him a starting spot two years later. But he is a big-game operator.
Twice, he has scored added-time winners in El Clasico. He has a proven elite pedigree.
But what will really inspire Bellingham is the narrative that Tuchel himself has helped to create, by his remarks – for which he later apologised – about his mum finding some of the 22-year-old’s behaviour ‘repulsive’. And also by his obvious – and commendable – refusal to offer the Madrid man any selection guarantees.
There has never been any suggestion Bellingham needs extra motivation when he pulls on an England jersey. But if he did, there has been plenty provided by some of the negativity that has infused discussion of his contributions to club and country in recent times.
As the tournament progresses, Tuchel might use a system that enables him to start Bellingham AND Rogers. After all, they are both outstanding players.
But Tuchel will want to make a statement in his first game at a World Cup. And no player is more capable of making a statement than the one who has been given the number ten.

Megan Barker is preparing to make her long-awaited City of London Nocturne debut ahead of the Commonwealth Games and National Championships.
Megan Barker is set to fulfil her second of five goals in 2026 when she takes to the track at City of London Nocturne.

In April, the Welsh cyclist competed in the UCI Track Cycling World Cup in Hong Kong, winning a silver medal in the team pursuit. And this summer, the new City of London Nocturne offers the chance to tick another item off her bucket list.
She said: “I’ve heard a lot about it and seen a lot of clips and pictures. I think it’s really cool and I’m glad it has come back. I think the crowds enjoy it because you can see all the action and you don’t have to stand around all day.”
The new Nocturne event has been designed to be bigger and better with food stalls and street music building an intense urban atmosphere around a circuit in the City of London.
Barker said: “It suits my physiology. I like really short, sharp, hard efforts and going up to one hour is perfect for me. I’m better at it than road racing. It will be nice to get some crit racing in a bit earlier in the season than normal, before crit nationals.”

The 28-year-old won the national title in 2023 to join an exclusive club that boasts names such as Katie Archibald and Lizzie Deignan (nee Armitstead) and repeating that success is her third major aim of this year. She said: “It’s always one of my big aims. I crashed out last year quite early on, so I was gutted about that. And it’s the same course – I’m hoping it’s not a repeat. And I’m also aiming for the Track World Championships in Shanghai.”
But by far the biggest target for Barker this summer is the Commonwealth Games. She raced at both Gold Coast 2018 and Birmingham 2022 but failed to win a medal. Glasgow represents a real opportunity for the Welsh team to take home some silverware if Barker is selected.
She said: “Obviously, it only comes down every four years, so you want to make the most of it. My main aim would be the team pursuit, because a lot of girls in the GB squad are Welsh this year, so we have a solid team.
“We were fourth last time and it was pretty tight. I’m hoping we’re going to have like a really good chance of a medal, which has been one of my career goals that I keep just missing out on. My family are all booked to go, which makes it way nicer, especially if you do get a good result and you can celebrate with them afterwards.”
