Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Flight schedules are returning to normal after severe delays on Tuesday and Wednesday, when a technical issue with air traffic control led to more than 2,000 cancellations affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers. The chief executive of National Air Traffic Services, Martin Rolfe, has faced calls to resign. Separately, England's mayors will gain new powers to introduce an unlimited tourist tax, charging travellers a percentage of accommodation costs rather than a flat fee, with mayors deciding how to invest the revenue; the government says this will protect budget holidays, though a trade body warns many are still struggling with the cost of living. President Trump has said Americans will receive $5,000 if his Republican Party wins the midterm elections in November, a plan costing over a trillion dollars with no funding details yet.
In the western Philippines, five people have died and dozens are missing after a fire broke out on a passenger ferry that had sailed from Manila; 43 people have been rescued and 86 remain missing. From this autumn, pharmacists will be able to treat patients for acne, migraines, scabies, and certain ear infections as part of a scheme to ease pressure on A&E services. The Bayeux Tapestry is now on public display at the British Museum, its first time in the UK in almost a thousand years, on loan from France until September 2027 with special conservation and security measures in place. The Prince of Wales is launching suicide prevention guidance with sports stars and charities, backed by England captain Harry Kane and Formula One driver George Russell, as part of the On Your Side project.
