Unusually, I watched a bit of the clip. Here’s what I gathered that the presenter had put forward as “breaking news”:
“The ECJ held that travellers are no longer entitled to compensation and care rights under EU law if they fly from a non-EU country to a British airport via an EU hub. The ruling is based on the principle that the UK is now a third country outside the EU.”
Correct. So what’s controversial or surprising about it? Why should an EU law prevail in the UK when the UK is no longer an EU member? Surely that was the point of leaving.
It may also help readers of your hysteria understand precisely what is available to them by way of compensation if they were to read this:

You will note that after Brexit, EC directive EU261 was subsumed into UK law and our compensation regulations are known as UK261. They are virtually identical (apart from the amounts payable being in €€€s or £££s).
So, a traveller making a journey under the limited circumstances described which the ECJ ruling covered (flying from a non-EU country to the UK via a hub in the EU) cannot claim compensation for delay or cancellation under EU261 but he can make a claim under UK261.
The court case was more an academic exercise to determine under which rules (EU261 or UK261) a traveller could claim. Apart from that, I have a suspicion (though haven’t checked) that the ECJ ruling was handed down early in 2022.
Did you research any of this before you made your post? If you did, and discovered what I have, what’s your point?
