Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham used his first Labour conference speech as Prime Minister to announce a national care service funded by tax and free at the point of need, a cut in VAT on electricity bills, renationalisation of water and power, and stronger public control of housing. He said the pensions triple lock would be scrapped from 2030 to help pay for care. Residents and relatives at a Worthing care home said funding was a mess and actions would speak louder than words, and Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told the programme the triple lock would be retained in its current form for this Parliament and then adjusted so the state pension still rises by inflation or 2.5 per cent, whichever is higher. She also said VAT would come off electricity bills from Thursday and that Burnham wanted a closer relationship with the EU.
At RAF Fairford, five suspects arrested over a suspected terror plot were released on bail; police found no explosives but did find petrol, and residents were allowed home behind a cordon with ID checks. The US secretary of state said a foreign actor was involved, while the Iranian embassy denied involvement. The Premier League said Manchester City had been found guilty of all charges over financial rule breaches in the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons involving sham sponsorship contracts; the club said it would appeal, and Nandy commented on integrity and sanctions. Diesel prices were reported to have risen to nearly £2 a litre, with warnings they could go higher if the US banned exports. Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott was jailed for seven years for sexually abusing two school-aged children. A top-five recap also noted that anti-migrant activist Daniel Thomas had been denied bail at Portsmouth Crown Court, where he pleaded not guilty to criminal damage over an alleged dinghy slashing, with trial due in March.
In an international roundup, a sexual assault case at Cornell University was reopened after backlash, students in Paris protested overcrowding and teacher shortages, and a man in Lagos attempted to dance non-stop for seven days. A probation inspectors' report said electronic tags were delayed half the time, leaving some released prisoners unsupervised before an early release scheme, while the Ministry of Justice said tagging was being expanded. The programme also featured Kath Bowie, known as Grumpy Gran, who became the Guinness World Record holder as the oldest female Fortnite streamer and had more than 25,000 followers. In a final update, the Met's head of counter-terrorism said the Fairford arrests followed information including a farmer's call and that petrol had been found in checked vans, calling the case very complicated.
