Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The US carried out a third night of strikes on Iran, with President Trump saying they were hitting the country very hard. US Central Command said they targeted coastal defence systems, missiles, drone sites, and maritime capabilities in a five-hour mission. Iranian state media reported explosions across the country, including in the port of Bandar Abbas. Iranian forces said they hit and disabled two supertankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and the United Arab Emirates accused Iran of a brazen attack that killed one crew member and wounded eight others. President Trump said the US would impose a 20% charge on cargo passing through the waterway and re-impose a blockade on Iranian ports. Parts of the UK face an exceptional risk for wildfires over the next few days as the latest heatwave continues, with firefighters battling blazes in the Peak District, North Wales, Durham, Hampshire, and northeast London. In France, firefighters are battling two fires south of Paris, with almost 1,500 hectares of Fontainebleau forest burned.
Russia launched a fresh round of missile strikes on Kyiv overnight, hours after Ukraine and nine Western allies agreed to jointly develop new air defences against ballistic missiles. The Home Secretary said she would look at security guidance for former and current MPs following the death of Ann Widdecombe, with counter-terrorism police now leading the murder investigation. At least 30 people died in a fire at a bar in Bangkok, with authorities investigating if negligence was a factor. A study by the Centre for Countering Digital Hate found that YouTube's algorithm still recommends eating disorder videos to teenagers a year after new rules were introduced. The long-delayed Hillsborough law bill is expected to be approved by MPs, the NHS in England plans to give sepsis patients wearable technology, and a study into links between hormonal changes and ADHD symptoms in women is being carried out in London. Tens of thousands of Norwegian football fans flooded the streets of Oslo to welcome home their World Cup team after their best ever tournament performance, reaching the quarter-finals.
