Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Two Iranian men have appeared in court charged with plotting to target Manchester's Jewish community with a homemade bomb. Raham Salehi and Salaam Ahmadyan are accused of scoping out potential targets including Heaton Park synagogue, which was attacked last October, and are due at the Old Bailey on 23 October. A 25-year-old UK Iranian national arrested over a suspected terror plot near RAF Fairford has been released on bail after searches of two nearby properties finished; police had been alerted to three suspicious vehicles at the Gloucestershire airbase and dozens of homes were evacuated.
A co-pilot accused of trying to hijack a Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight has reportedly been named as Omani national Hamam Al Hamami. The 29-year-old is accused of attacking the pilot with an axe; the plane descended rapidly before passengers and crew restrained him and regained control, and the captain was seriously injured but is recovering in hospital. In Australia, at least 10 people were injured after a car drove into a crowd cheering on a rugby team north of Sydney. A five-year-old girl and a 67-year-old man are in a critical condition, the other eight are stable, and police arrested an 18-year-old man, saying the crash is not believed to be linked to terrorism.
The Conservatives have promised to build 50,000 new prison places in England and Wales to stop criminals being released early if they get into power, saying the plan would cost £2 billion a year funded by cuts to other areas. Labour blamed the previous Tory government for leaving the justice system at breaking point and said the plans are not credible. Sir Kevin Sinfield completed the final leg of his seven-in-seven challenge, running seven ultra-marathons in seven days and raising more than £1.3 million for motor neurone disease in memory of his late friend and teammate Rob Burrow, crossing the finish line at Old Trafford.
