It’s believed Russia had a a fake video in the works showing an attack by Ukrainians on Russian territory.

One option is said to include staged graphic images of an explosion showing numerous casualties.

Officials would not release any direct evidence of the Russian plan or specify how they learned of it, saying to do so would compromise their sources and methods.

The US and Nato are concerned at the massing of Russian forces near Ukraine.

Russia denies planning to invade, saying the troops are there for drills.

They currently number about 100,000.

The European Union is responding to Russia’s request for security guarantees

A joint response is being written after many of the EU’s member countries received correspondence from Russia earlier this week.

European Commission president Ursula Von De Leyen says the EU is presenting a united front.

This comes as Russia has amassed around 100,000 troops on its border with Ukraine, denying any plans to invade.

Finland’s Prime Minister Sanna Marin, whose country shares a border with Russia, raised concerns about the growing aggressiveness and called for peace.

Airbus faces manufacturing issues with A320 fuselage panels, impacting shares but confirming safety for in-service aircraft.

Airbus is confronting a fresh manufacturing issue after discovering a quality defect in several dozen fuselage panels used on A320-family jets. The revelation sparked investor concern, with shares falling by up to 10% as the news broke.

While the newly identified flaw has caused some delivery delays, Airbus confirms that aircraft already in service are safe and unaffected. The defect is limited to a specific batch of panels, and all new production now meets required standards.

The company has apologised for the disruption and says it is working closely with suppliers to prevent a repeat of the issue.
