Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
A man died after going into the sea to help save two children at Seaton Carew Beach in Hartlepool; both children are safe and were taken to hospital. Counter Terror Police are now leading the investigation into the death of former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe, after a man was arrested in South Yorkshire; she was found dead at her home in Devon on Thursday and police believe she was attacked almost 24 hours earlier. In Spain, a 93-year-old British woman became the 13th person to die in deadly wildfires, after being taken to hospital in Andalusia with burns to around 20 percent of her body; two British hikers were found alive but badly burnt the previous day.
The Home Secretary is due to set out changes to the law so that Rochdale grooming gang leader Shabir Ahmed can be deported; he was released from prison earlier this month but cannot be deported due to an archaic law. Actor Sam Neill has died at the age of 78; best known for his role in Jurassic Park, he also appeared in The Piano and The Hunt for Red October, and had been receiving treatment for a rare blood cancer but announced he was cancer-free earlier this year.
