Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
A coroner ruled that three women pulled from the sea off Brighton died by suicide. They were 36-year-old Jane Adetoro, 36-year-old Christina Walters and 31-year-old Rebecca Walters, sisters from West London whose mother died by drowning 16 years ago.
A Royal Navy sailor, 24-year-old Teddy Young, has been charged with spying for Russia; he is alleged to have abused high-level security clearance to access secret defence and intelligence data and said he committed the offences on his first deployment, which started in 2024. Police stressed there was no link to the RAF Fairford investigation, where a seventh man, a 22-year-old British national, has been bailed as part of a suspected terror plot probe, joining six other suspects released on bail; several suspicious fans were stopped near the Gloucestershire airbase last month and the government insists it is safe despite the US removing bombers earlier this week. ASOS said hackers gained access by impersonating a trusted contact to get login information, after customers received a phone alert on Tuesday that the app had been hacked; names and contact details were accessed, but payment information and passwords remain safe, and customers are advised to stay cautious.
The first hearing in Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's legal challenge against Thames Valley Police is taking place at the High Court. The former prince was arrested in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office over his links to Jeffrey Epstein, denies wrongdoing and wants the search warrants that led to his arrest quashed. The prime minister is in Berlin meeting German chancellor Friedrich Merz to seek more cooperation on cyber attacks, sabotage and other hybrid threats, with a joint partnership on information sharing and action to stop threats. Royal Mail is marking 100 years of Winnie the Pooh with 10 new stamps celebrating the bear and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood, including E.H. Shepard's original illustrations before Pooh wore his famous red shirt.
