We follow heavily-armed officers as they stream into the house, a woman drops to the floor as the camera turns left, and we head up a small, dimly lit staircase, passing a man with his back against the wall, hands raised, yelling to no avail.Within moments, a 13-year-old boy has been arrested and we're back outside in the morning light. The family screams on the front lawn as the camera returns to the boy, now a detainee in the dark interior of a police van.

"You can subscribe to this scheme but you might never take off," says James Glenton, 36, from York, who is still hoping for compensation for a cancelled Wizz Air flight a year on.In July 2023, Wizz cancelled Mr Glenton's flight from Leeds Bradford Airport to Wroclaw in Poland and rebooked him on one from London Luton the next day, he says.

That meant he lost two days of his holiday, the parking he'd booked at Leeds Bradford, money spent on his hotel, and the petrol costs getting to Luton and back, he says.According to Mr Glenton, Wizz has blamed air traffic control restrictions for the cancellation so won't refund him.
