Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Prince Harry will not stay at Buckingham Palace during his UK trip this week, despite reports that he would. It is understood there had been a long-standing offer for the Duke of Sussex and his family to stay at a Royal residence, but a deadline was missed. Harry is now expected to travel alone as the row over his taxpayer-funded security continues.
Families are bracing for a surge in patients as the Wegovi pill becomes available in the UK. The once-a-day weight loss pill has been approved by the medicines regulator, but can only be bought on the high street and online pharmacies, not yet on the NHS. Sky is buying ITV's broadcast and streaming division in a deal worth £1.6bn, subject to regulatory approval, which would create the UK's largest commercial broadcaster. Thousands of forgotten Punjabi soldiers who fought in World War I are being recognised for the first time, with almost 10,000 names of British Indian Army servicemen added to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission casualty records.
