Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Protesters gathered in Gosport, Hampshire, last night after it was initially believed a small boat carrying migrants would be brought ashore there. The dinghy with 51 people on board instead arrived in Dover after spending more than 33 hours at sea, and the French Coast Guard, which shadowed it, said those on board were determined to take all risks to reach the UK. The UK is to review its deal to give the Chagos Islands to Mauritius after criticism by President Trump, who said he did not support the deal and thought it was terrible and ridiculous during his meeting with Andy Burnham in New York. The Prime Minister also accused Russia of mounting cyber attacks on Britain and spreading disinformation, saying Russian agencies had used every means at their disposal to spread lies and prey on people's fears.

More than 300 homes are being evacuated in Cornwall after a suspected unexploded World War II device was located in water near Falmouth.

The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the world premiere of Tom Cruise's new film Digger in London last night, mingling with celebrities including Sir David Beckham and his sons Romeo and Cruz.
