Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham told the Commons that the security incident at RAF Fairford last month was highly likely to have been coordinated in Iran and almost certainly directed by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard, saying Britain would not tolerate threats on its soil and pledging further sanctions. The Iranian ambassador was summoned and Iran continued to deny involvement. Burnham also said it was time to accept that Brexit did more harm than good and that he had been told there was Russian interference in the 2016 referendum, while Downing Street said that interference was not successful; he argued for a closer relationship with the EU ahead of a summit next month, while the Leader of the Opposition said he was reopening old arguments and Boris Johnson rejected the interference claim.
Ukraine came under fresh Russian attack overnight after Donald Trump said an energy ceasefire had been reached, with drones hitting Kharkiv and energy infrastructure; Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the claim but said a power plant was struck afterwards, Russia's foreign minister said Ukraine did not deserve a ceasefire, and Trump defended a diesel deal to import Russian fuel. A strike on Riyadh airport killed a dozen passengers and attacks on Saudi oil and gas infrastructure added to energy price concerns. Nigel Farage pledged that Reform would ban asylum for five years and scrap tribunals and resettlement schemes, deporting 90,000 people with appeal cases. Russell Brand appeared in court at the start of his trial on rape and sexual assault charges, which he denies. Kyle Rattray pleaded not guilty to the alleged racist murder of Dr Fortune Gomo in Dundee. Katie Price told Kieran Hayler's trial that a teenage girl who alleged rape by her then husband seemed afraid; Hayler denies the charges.
At Yorkshire Wildlife Park, a man was killed by a tiger after entering its enclosure; the park remained closed, the tiger was not to be euthanised, and Doncaster Council launched a health and safety investigation. AI cameras in Birmingham and Wolverhampton recorded around 19,000 potential driving offences in two weeks, including a child on a passenger's lap and drivers using both hands on phones. World War II veteran Henry Rice died aged 100, and the government set a target to improve flood protection for 200,000 properties with £27.9bn in avoided damage. The NHS Blood and Transplant Service reported a record 29,000 stem cell donors last year, while Citizens Advice said one in 10 recorded scams involved roofing; one victim lost £12,000, and advice included paying by credit card and using Section 75. In world news, fresh flooding in Nepal washed away the Soti Kola Bridge, Hurricane Isaias caused deaths and power cuts in Florida, and eight orangutans were released in Borneo.
