An ENT specialist has described how she helped deliver a baby mid-flight with just a pair of gloves, some cabin crew to assist and a steely nerve to get her through.

Dr Alena Fedchenko, a Ukrainian ENT doctor, was on board a flight from Doha, Qatar, to Bangkok, Thailand, on Tuesday night when the flight attendants put out a call for urgent medical assistance.
