Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Yellow heat health alerts have been issued across parts of England as wildfires continue to burn on Dunwich Heath in Suffolk, with the RSPB warning it could take up to a decade for the heath to recover and that species such as nightjar and dark hood warbler will be unable to nest there. Rescuers found the body of British Nepali climber Nirmal Purja, who was killed in an avalanche on Pakistan's Broad Peak Mountain alongside nine others, and the Prince of Wales paid tribute to him. A BBC investigation found that cosmetic specialist Jordan Park, who performed a Brazilian butt lift on mother Alice Webb in 2024 leading to her death, had previously been banned from carrying out the procedure in two parts of the country; Alice's family are calling for tighter regulation, and a Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said the government will consult on new measures to ensure only qualified healthcare professionals can perform high-risk procedures.
Police in England are warning motorists about criminal gangs stripping cars for parts at night, a practice called car cannibalism, with thieves taking headlights, bumpers, and bonnets; in Birmingham, two men pleaded guilty to offences related to a large-scale operation, and motor insurers paid out £593 million for theft last year. Actor Vincent Pastore, known for playing Salvatore Bonpensiero on The Sopranos, has died at age 80. The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow drew to a close, with Josh Kerr winning gold for Scotland in track and Emma Finucane taking gold for Wales in the 1,000 metres time trial; more than 3,000 athletes from 74 nations competed in 10 sports during the shortened 10-day games.
