Episode description
Today, a new report from Britain's National Energy System Operator (NESO) has revealed that a power outage which shut Heathrow Airport earlier this year, causing travel chaos for more than 270,000 passengers, was caused by a ‘catastrophic failure’ of equipment in a nearby substation. The Standard’s Business Editor Jonathan Prynn has the latest.
And in part two, freelance journalist Edwina Langley shares what to eat, drink and wear if you’re heading to SW19 for this year’s Wimbledon tennis tournament.
