. >> to digest this story, we have john strickland. he is the director of jls consulting. thank you for joining us, john. our first question and this is not the first incident with this aircraft, should we be worried about potentially getting on one of these flights going forward? >> i don't think we should be worried because the regulatory and safety regime we have heard referenced with this instance not least be the spokesman of the ntsb there is designed to protect our safety. we also saw that once this accident happened, unfortunately, happened without any injuries or fatalities, then alaska airlines took the decision to ground the fleet immediately. i think that was a wise decision to act with caution and as we heard there in the briefing, the investigation will take time. the aircraft has to sit on the ground for that period of time, whatever it may be, so be it. safety has to be paramount of any of the situation. >> just outline for us a little bit in more detail how different this incident is from the others we have seen in the past regarding these specific jets. >>

let's bring in john strickland from jls. wonderful to have you on the show. talk to me about the reaction we are seeing in the ryan air stock today. the market hasn't reacted well or taken the guidance on board because of the higher costs that ryan air flagged in terms of higher fuel costs, but also in terms of the ongoing costs on the back of industrial action. >> they haven't been hit by higher fuel costs. we saw the conflict developing in the israel and gaza situation with prices being on the day-to-day and ryanair was exposed to that. they had a spat with online travel agencies. they have been in dispute about the selling practices and listed a number of the concerns about that today. a lot of those travel agents took ryanair off and that impacted the higher fare bookings. something they will say they will ride out. it is a relief to consumers, but took a hit in that time period. we saw costs rising and they have talked about the amount of disruption in the last year, particularly from the air traffic control strikes in france which impacted to and from f

john strickland, thanks for giving us this analysis this morning. appreciate you. >> kate?> this is cnn breaking us. >> we do have breaking news just into cnn. a senior hezbollah commander has been killed by an israeli drone strike in his car in southern lebanon today the that's according to a lebanese security source and also according to hezbollah. this is the most senior hezbollah militant to be killed by israel since the dale exchange of fire has been happening across the israel-lebanon border since the october 7 terror attack by hamas. cnn's anyc robertson is in tel aviv joining us now. bring us up to speed. what are you learning about this attack and about this man? >> yeah, he was hezbollah commander, senior commander from what we understand, and i think we get a sense of just how senior he was through the people, photographs of the people that he's met. he was photographed with qassam soul s soleimani and he was photographed with hasran nasrallah and photographed about imam mu gnir, responsible for a horrendous attack on u.s. forces back in the 1980s in beirut, so h

thank you very much indeed, john strickland, for your time and your analysis.lenty more also for you on our website any time but we are monitoring that breaking story live, the plane on fire at tokyo airport. stay with us on bbc news. hello. a new year, but another named storm. this morning the met office have named storm henk, the weather system which is crossing the uk today set to bring potential for damaging and disruptive winds. with it, they've issued a met office amber weather warning for strong winds across parts of the south—west, south—east wales, the m4 corridor, south midlands towards east anglia. these are where the peak gusts are likely to be 60, maybe 70mph, causing some problems, but even more widely across the south we could still see winds top 60mph outside that warning area. some very strong winds today in the north of scotland. in between, the winds much lighter, but rain could be more of an issue. rain's the added feature to this storm, causing some flooding potentially across parts of wales, the midlands. that rain this afternoon sliding a
