London’s Heathrow airport - one of the world's busiest - has been shut down by an electricity power failure, causing massive disruption to flights and passengers across the world. A fire at a nearby electricity station led to a loss of power that closed the airport. All flights from Heathrow were halted and incoming flights diverted or turned around by air traffic control. Around 200,000 passengers across the world have had their journeys affected with 1,300 flights from many countries cancelled and diverted. UK police say their initial assessment is that the cause of the fire is not suspicious but their inquiry is still in its early stages. Reeta Chakrabarti presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Daniel Sandford, Sean Dilley, Marc Ashdown, Nick Beake, Emma Simpson and Simon Jack.
