Broadcast overview

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

Former MP and MEP Anne Widdicombe has died at the age of 78. She served as a Conservative MP for 23 years, later became a Brexit Party MEP, and most recently was Reform UK's immigration spokesperson. Andy Burnham is almost guaranteed to become the next prime minister after 322 Labour MPs nominated him to succeed Sakea Stama, leaving only 81 Labour MPs who could nominate another contender. Four British people are feared dead in a wildfire in southern Spain, among at least 11 fatalities reported by local authorities, as a heatwave with temperatures around 40 degrees Celsius causes wildfires across southern Europe.

Millions more people will be banned from using hosepipes as officials warn another lengthy heatwave could lead to drought conditions, with the UK recording its eighth day at or above 34 degrees Celsius in a year. The Bayeux Tapestry has returned to English soil after almost a thousand years, escorted by police across the channel overnight, and will go on display in London from September with over 100,000 tickets sold on the first day. Britain's Arthur Ferry will play his Wimbledon semi-final against Alexander Zverev, having become only the second wildcard to reach the men's semi-finals at Wimbledon and only the fifth British man to do so in the open era.
