20.09.2025 โ‡ข The day of the European airport cyberattack
โŒจUK media on September 20 initially focused on continued Russian airspace incursions over Estonia, with commentary from Donald Trump. Early morning reports also highlighted ongoing immigration discussions.

By late morning, a new dominant narrative emerged: a widespread cyberattack causing significant flight delays and cancellations across European airports, including Heathrow. This became the primary focus throughout the afternoon, with some outlets suggesting Russia's involvement, especially given recent NATO tensions.

Towards the evening, while the cyberattack remained a key story, reports also surfaced about Sarah Ferguson's past correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein, and NATO's planned meeting regarding the Estonian airspace violation. The day concluded with announcements from Starmer regarding the UK's recognition of a Palestinian state.
