Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has launched legal action over his February arrest. The former prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office over allegations he shared sensitive trade information with Jeffrey Epstein while a UK trade envoy, which he denies. His legal team is challenging the legality of Thames Valley Police search warrants at Marsh Farm and the Windsor estate and seeking court documents before a private High Court hearing on Thursday. Police said their investigation and legal proceedings over warrants obtained from the Central Criminal Court are ongoing. It was also reported he will not use money from King Charles for the judicial review. Dawood Safi, an Afghan migrant, was given an indefinite hospital order for stabbing dog walker Wayne Broadhurst to death, attempting to murder his landlord in Uxbridge and attacking a 14-year-old. The court heard he was psychotic, and the judge recommended deportation.
The US Air Force flew as many as 12 B-1 bombers out of RAF Fairford overnight. Marco Rubio said a foreign actor was behind an alleged plot at the base but called the move redeployment, said US bases were safe and praised UK cooperation; the New York Times reported officials cited a specific threat in the last 24 hours. Five men arrested over the suspected plot and another arrested later were released on bail as the investigation continued. Other headlines included 12 arrests after a Gosport protest over migrant arrivals, 149 migrants picked up in the Channel, two men dying in a crossing attempt near Boulogne, and a failed asylum seeker jailed for life over an attempted knife attack on the Israeli Embassy. At the Conservative conference in Birmingham, Kemi Badenoch was shown ruling out deals with Reform UK; the Green Party of England and Wales passed a resolution equating Zionism with racism, which leader Zack Polanski had indicated he opposed.
Greater Manchester Police gave exclusive access to raids under Operation Mechanize targeting illegal working and organised crime on the high street, including car washes, shops and a cafe, where officers found illegal workers, illicit tobacco and shisha. Figures showed more than 7,000 illegal working visits and nearly 5,000 arrests in the first six months of the year, up 20 percent, and over £1 million of illicit goods seized in 12 months. Later headlines included an appeal court in Belfast reserving judgment on an Orange Order parade and BT agreeing a £400 million rescue deal for TalkTalk. The programme also reported that judges will for the first time have to formally record when an offence involves domestic abuse. The Victims' Commissioner for London, Andrew Simon, said one in four people will be a victim of domestic abuse and over three-quarters of reports to police do not proceed further.
