YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Watch Sky News at Ten: A huge fireball has been seen in Oxfordshire after reports of an "explosion" in the area.

Police say they believe lightening has struck gas containers at a waste plant near Yarnton, causing a large fire.

Emergency services are at the scene, but no one is reported to have been hurt.

Also, the northern leg of HS2 is to be scrapped, Sky News understands.

This follows reports and speculation over a number of weeks that Rishi Sunak was set to axe the Birmingham to Manchester leg due to soaring costs.

The prime minister and chancellor have repeatedly refused to comment on the future of the high-speed rail line - but ministers have spoken often of the ballooning costs and said it was "under review".
