Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The new UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, began his first full day in office, preparing to announce cost of living support and chair his first cabinet meeting. He made key cabinet appointments overnight, including John Healey as Chancellor, Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary, and Wes Streeting as Defence Secretary, while retaining Shabana Mahmood as Home Secretary. Burnham spoke with President Trump, discussing North Sea oil, trade, and the Strait of Hormuz, and invited Trump to visit Manchester.
The US military conducted a tenth consecutive night of strikes against Iranian targets, including command centres and missile launch sites, while Iran reported striking oil tankers and US military assets in Bahrain and Kuwait. President Trump imposed a 50% tariff on a wide range of Canadian imports, citing unfair treatment of US goods, a move that risks reigniting a trade war. In India, Human Rights Watch urged an investigation into alleged police excesses after officers forcibly dispersed thousands of student protesters in Delhi demanding education reform. A 28-year-old man was charged with the murder of former MP Ann Widdecombe. Spain celebrated its men's World Cup title with a victory parade in Madrid, and tributes were paid to former England footballer Kevin Keegan, who died at age 75.
