We're also following news from Vienna, where the global nuclear watchdog says Iran is failing to meet its nuclear obligations for the first time in 20 years. And finally, a new species of dinosaur has been discovered, "rewriting" the evolutionary history of one of the most iconic reptile. | |

The plane, carrying 230 passengers and 12 crew members, appears to have crashed in a residential area. Passengers included 169 Indian nationals, 53 British nationals, seven Portuguese nationals and one Canadian national. Tracking website Flightradar24 says it received the last signal from the aircraft at 625 feet (190m) "just seconds after take off". Air India's chairman, Natarajan Chandrasekaran has confirmed that Air India Flight 171 "was involved in a tragic accident today". The state minister of Gujarat says officials have been instructed to carry out "immediate rescue and relief operations". |
