Twenty-five years ago today, four planes flew into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York, into the Pentagon in Washington DC and into a field in Pennsylvania, after its passengers overpowered the hijackers. Almost 3,000 people died and tens of thousands more were injured. We hear from a survivor. Also on the programme: fighters from the Houthi movement capture more territory, reportedly taking the whole of Yemen's Red Sea Coast; and why El Nino is thought to be suppressing hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean Photo: Pictures of victims from Flight 11 on a memorial commemorating the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City Credit: Spencer Platt/Pool via REUTERS
