Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The family of William Chapman, the man killed by a tiger at Yorkshire Wildlife Park on Saturday, paid tribute to him, describing him as a bright, warm and engaging young man who was dearly loved. They said the 23-year-old had experienced significant mental illness over a number of years and had been prescribed strong medication. Russell Brand appeared in court to face multiple rape and sexual assault charges, with the prosecution describing him as a ruthless, calculated and manipulative predator; Brand denies allegations involving six women between 1999 and 2009. The jury was sworn in yesterday and the judge told them to ignore past reporting about him.
At least 600,000 people in Ukraine were left without power after Russian missiles struck Kyiv, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky; it was the third attack in a row despite Donald Trump's claim of an energy ceasefire between the countries. Zelensky was due to meet Andy Burnham at Downing Street later, with the PM wanting to show British support, particularly after the US struck a diesel deal with Russia. In the US, an ex-gang leader was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison for orchestrating the drive-by shooting of rap icon 2Pac in 1996; the killing was unsolved for decades until Duane Keffe D Davis began bragging about it in interviews and a memoir. The Royal College of Nursing opened a ballot for industrial action for nursing staff in Northern Ireland, saying it was because of the continued failure to deliver a pay award, while Stormont has been unable to agree a budget for the current financial year.
Pope Leo was diagnosed with lung cancer after undergoing surgery, in which surgeons removed the lower lobe of the pontiff's right lung. A Vatican spokesperson said the surgery was successful, and the 71-year-old was expected to stay in hospital for a week and had had a tranquil night. The world's oldest shipwreck was found off the coast of Turkey, with experts believing it could be up to 4,700 years old and linked to the early Bronze Age; ceramic storage pots on the boat survived, and some contained traces of what they held inside.
