Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Three members of the same family drowned after getting into difficulty in the sea at Shoreham, Sussex. Police identified the victims as 55-year-old Hassan Elkhawas, a Palestinian refugee, his partner Zina Elaine, and their 14-year-old daughter Sarah Elkhawas. A younger girl from the family remains in a critical condition in hospital. The Prime Minister pledged to offer all rough sleepers in England a route off the streets by Christmas, with £442 million allocated from existing budgets. Inflation rose to 2.9% in July, up from 2.6% in June, driven by higher energy bills, and the Bank of England's interest rate remains at 3.75%.
The Queen spoke publicly for the first time about keeping the King's cancer diagnosis a secret, saying she longed to reveal it but could not. Investigators into last Thursday's train derailment in Lewes reported a track irregularity near the site. A double murder investigation began in Glasgow after two men were found dead in a flat. Two men were jailed for anti-migrant protests outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in Epping. Matthew Johnson, once called the most ill child in Britain, discussed how his mother faked his illnesses and was jailed for child cruelty in 2010; he said he holds no resentment but has not spoken to her in over two years. A children's ride based on the Titanic at a farm in Hertfordshire has drawn some criticism as insensitive, but the farm owner said changing the name led to more backlash and has kept it.
