Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Specialist courts to handle cases of rape and other sexual offences will be introduced across England and Wales over the next two years. Each Crown Court will have at least one courtroom set up to hear such cases, with private entrances and waiting rooms for victims to keep them away from defendants. Prince Harry will appear at a charity event in London later after his uncle, Earl Spencer, said he worries about the Duke of Sussex not having police protection; Charles Spencer claimed media treatment of Meghan and Harry echoes what happened to Princess Diana and described press coverage of their lives as a cancerous influence.
A police investigation into the deaths of three sisters who died of drowning in the sea off the coast of Brighton has concluded. The bodies of Jane Adi Toro, Christina Walters and Rebecca Walters were found in May, and there was no evidence of foul play; an inquest will take place next year. Normandy veteran Ken Hay, who survived capture just weeks after D-Day, has died at the age of 101. He spent years educating children about the war and his experience of being put to work as a prisoner of war in a Polish coal mine, and his message of peace was to love yourself, your friends, your family at home, and the people you met today and yesterday.
The NHS says urgent action is needed after a plunge in donors in the UK. Family consent rates are at about 57%, down 10% in five years, and hundreds of potential donations fail to go ahead because grieving relatives are forced to guess what the deceased would have wanted. Ian Winship from North Lancashire, who is 90, has just run a 10-kilometre race in one hour, four minutes and 37 seconds, believed to be a world record for his age group.
