Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Five men were arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act after a major incident near RAF Fairford. They remain in custody and are also held under the Explosives Act after police were called about three suspicious vehicles heading towards the base. Eighty-five homes have been evacuated and a British Army bomb disposal team is at the scene. The base has been used by the US Air Force to launch attacks on Iran, and President Donald Trump said the five men had been under view for a long time. Police said work to establish the full nature of the incident is ongoing and that they are in constant communication with local and national partners, working closely with counterterrorism policing.
Thousands of protesters blocked the Garvaghy Road in Portadown, Northern Ireland, trying to stop a contentious Orange Order parade from passing. The route was a notorious flashpoint during the Troubles, with nationalist residents opposing marches through the area for decades. It comes after the High Court upheld a ruling allowing the parade. An NHS trust apologised to the family of three-year-old Noah Woods after staff accessed his medical records without authorization. Ten employees at East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust have been removed from duty or suspended while an investigation takes place. Noah's body was found in a pond in Brantham in Suffolk earlier this month.
Andy Burnham said he won't introduce a new social care system before the next election but will put his plans to voters when it comes. He wants a system where everyone contributes and everyone is covered, but he hasn't ruled out tax rises to pay for it. Councils are set to be given powers to take over empty and derelict homes under plans unveiled by the Housing Secretary, aiming to bring some of England's 300,000 empty homes back into use. The rules to allow this already exist but haven't been used since 2021. Leopards are returning to South Africa's West Coast region for the first time in over a century after vanishing 170 years ago, in what was hailed as a rare win for biodiversity at a time when so many species are in decline.
