Broadcast overview

An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.

All of the UK's major political parties have refused to stand against Nigel Farage. A manhunt continues for a murder suspect believed to have killed a mother and her two children; police forced entry into a house in Great Denham near Bedford on Monday after the family had not been seen for several days, and they believe the suspect could have fled the country.

Virgin Media has been handed the biggest financial penalty under Ofcom's consumer protection rules, a £28 million fine for repeatedly preventing customers from cancelling their contracts by using tactics such as excessive call transfers and putting customers on hold for no reason. At Wimbledon, British wildcard Arthur Ferry, aged 23 and ranked 114th in the world, is playing in his first ever Grand Slam quarterfinal against Italy's Flavio Cobolli, a player he beat earlier this year.
