Investigators have discovered fragments of the horizontal tail section of a Learjet that crashed in Florida, confirming the aircraft was breaking apart before impact. All nine people on board died in the crash, which left a fiery crater in the ground.

A period of dry weather is expected to persist across much of the UK for the next ten days, driven by high pressure systems.
