United States

One of the fan blades in the plane engine that failed shortly after take-off in Denver showed signs of metal fatigue, investigators say.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said the blade would undergo further examinations.
Flight 328 was able to make an emergency landing at Denver airport on Saturday, but parts of the engine fell on homes. No-one was hurt.
Boeing has recommended grounding all its 777 aircraft with the same engines.
