Childminder costs over school summer holidays as high as £1,800, research finds
Working parents who depend on childminders to look after their children during the British school summer holidays face bills of as much as £1,800 for six weeks' childcare, according to new research. A survey by the children's charity Coram found families in inner London can expect to pay an average of £306 a week for a holiday childminder, compared with a British average of £234 a week. Holiday childminder costs in Wales and Scotland are marginally higher – £249 and £238 a week respectively compared with £233 in England – but British families will have to find about £1,400 to cover the six-week break. It is the first time the survey, now in its 20th year, has included childminder costs during the holidays, which are published alongside annual data provided by local authorities on the cost and availability of places in holiday childcare clubs. The latest data reveals holiday childcare club costs in England, Wales and Scotland have risen by 4% in the last year, with working parents now facing an average bill of £179 per child per week – more than two and a half times the cost of term-time after-school clubs – totalling £1,075 for the six-week break. It also reveals significant shortages of places, particularly for children with special educational needs and disabilities (Send). In England, only 9% of councils have sufficient places for 75% of children with Send in their area. In the East Midlands, the east of England and inner London, not a single council could meet that commitment. Coram said many councils in England did not have a clear picture of whether they had enough holiday childcare, with half or more responding 'data not held or cannot tell'. Lydia Hodges, the head of Coram Family and Childcare, said: 'The need for childcare doesn't finish at the end of term. Holiday childcare not only helps parents to work but gives children the chance to have fun, make friends and stay active during the school breaks. 'Whilst the increase in government-funded early education has reduced childcare costs for working parents of under-fives in England, prices for holiday childcare are going up for school-age children. This risks encouraging parents to work while their children are young, only to find it is not sustainable once their child starts school.' She added: 'Availability of holiday childcare is an ongoing issue and without a clear picture of how much holiday childcare there is in each area, we cannot be sure that children – particularly those with special educational needs and disabilities – are not missing out.' The charity is calling on the government to provide more funding, training and support to holiday childcare providers to meet the needs of children with Send. Arooj Shah, the chair of the Local Government Association's children and young people board, said: 'While councils recognise the importance of ensuring there is sufficient provision available for children with Send, it can be difficult to ensure the right provision is available, particularly given the challenging situation that many providers face at the moment. 'Councils work closely with providers to improve access to holiday childcare provision for children with Send, but without investment and recruitment of quality staff this will be difficult to deliver.' A government spokesperson said: 'We recognise the school holidays can be a pressurised time for parents, which is why this government is putting pounds back in parents' pockets both during the holidays and in term time. 'We are expanding free school meals to all children whose households are on universal credit, introducing free breakfast clubs in primary schools, and rolling out 30 government funded hours of early education from September – saving families money and helping them balance work with family life. 'We are also continuing to fund free holiday clubs through the Holiday Activities and Food programme which provides six weeks of activities and meals for any child from a low-income family who needs it.'

32 seconds to disaster: How a routine takeoff turned catastrophic
A preliminary investigation report into the Air India crash on June 12 has revealed what happened on the Boeing Dreamliner during its final moments — a 32-second journey from lift-off to its crash into hospital buildings near the airport. The crash near Ahmedabad airport killed 241 people on board and 19 on ground. Just one passenger survived. The report focused on the moments after the takeoff, showing the aircraft's two fuel control switches moved to the 'cutoff' position in quick succession. This action cut off fuel supply to the engines, immediately causing the aircraft to lose all thrust. The switches are on the centre console of the cockpit, just below the engine thrust levers. They are used to control fuel flow to the engines—primarily during engine start-up and shutdown on the ground, or to shut down an engine in the event of an engine failure during flight.

Air India captain cut fuel seconds before crash, US experts say
The senior pilot of the Air India jet that crashed and and killed 260 people last month was responsible for cutting the flow of fuel to the plane's engines shortly after take-off, US authorities believe. Sumeet Sabharwal, the captain of the doomed Boeing 787 Dreamliner, was asked by his panicked co-pilot why he had moved the fuel-control switches to the 'cut-off' position, sources told the Wall Street Journal. The captain was said to have remained calm during the exchange, which was captured by the cockpit's voice recorders, before the London-bound plane crashed into a hostel block in Ahmedabad about 30 seconds after take-off. All but one of the 230 passengers and all 12 crew members died. An additional 19 people were killed on the ground. A preliminary report released last week by Indian investigators also concluded that the plane's fuel-control switches had been flipped almost simultaneously but did not identify the pilot responsible. Nor did it say whether the action was accidental or deliberate. The report, by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), said one pilot had asked the other why he had moved the switches. The other denied having done so. It is likely that the co-pilot, first officer Clive Kunder, 32, would have had his hands pulling back on the plane's controls at the point of take-off, said US pilots who had read the Indian authorities' report. Sabharwal, 56, would have been more likely to have had his hands free because he was the monitoring pilot. The fuel control switches were turned off one second apart,then flicked back on ten seconds later, according to the preliminary report. The switches, which toggle between 'run' and 'cut-off', are used for the engine start and stop in every flight. They are positioned on the console between the pilots and are impossible to manipulate accidentally because they are guarded and require deliberate actions to move. • Who were the Air India pilots who flew the jet that crashed? A press officer for India's Ministry of Civil Aviation and AAIB called the Journal's reporting one-sided and declined to comment further. The Indian Commercial Pilots' Association said that the crew 'acted in line with their training and responsibilities under challenging conditions and the pilots shouldn't be vilified based on conjecture'. 'To casually suggest pilot suicide without verified evidence is a gross violation of ethical reporting and a disservice to the dignity of the profession,' it said. Campbell Wilson, the chief executive of Air India, told employees in an internal memo that the pilots had passed mandatory pre-flight breathalyser tests and health checks before the flight took off. • Air India victim families bewildered by crash report He has also confirmed there were no mechanical or maintenance faults in the jet. This was the first fatal crash involving a Boeing 787 Dreamliner. However, the preliminary report released by Indian authorities did not rule out possible design flaws, malfunctions or maintenance issues. Sabharwal was a pilot of decades' standing with 15,638 hours of flying experience, of which 8,596 hours were on a Boeing 787. He had promised to call his family when the flight arrived in London, the Times of India reported. Kunder had 3,403 hours of flying experience.
