Airline Easyjet reported a half-yearly loss of £24m, compared with profits of £7m for the same time last year.

Sales edged up by 0.3% to £1.77bn and passenger numbers grew from 28.9 million to 31 million.
Attacks in Egypt, Paris and Brussels affected bookings but profits were more strongly affected by a fall in the value of the pound.
The company said it was "confident" that passenger numbers, sales and profits will grow this year.
