Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced an extra £15 billion in defence funding as part of a long-awaited spending plan, with annual defence spending reaching £80 billion by 2029. Some road and energy projects will be scrapped to pay for it, and the plan includes £5 billion for drones and autonomous weapons as well as funding for six new warships. A major report found repeated failures in NHS maternity care, including instances of systemic racism, after speaking to 450 families; the government has agreed to appoint a national maternity commissioner to drive change.
Asylum seekers could be made to pay up to £10,000 towards their accommodation once they start earning under new government plans, with the Home Secretary saying the cost to taxpayers is too high and payments similar to a student loan would be required before settled status can be granted. At the World Cup, four-time champions Germany were knocked out by Paraguay on penalties after a 1-1 draw, and the Netherlands suffered their earliest-ever exit, beaten on penalties by Morocco. England begin their own knockout campaign tomorrow against the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Atlanta.
