Breaking news

Two men have been arrested after a fire broke out on a North Sea ferry, which led to six people being airlifted to hospital.

A 26-year-old was arrested on suspicion of arson and a 28-year-old was arrested on suspicion of affray.

RAF helicopters winched two passengers and four crew off the MS King Seaways, which was sailing to Amsterdam, when it was 30 miles off Flamborough Head.

The DFDS ferry returned to North Shields early on Sunday.

It had had 946 passengers and 127 crew on board.
