Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced sanctions on Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, with Canada and France joining the measure, and said the international community had acted out of urgency to save the two-state solution. Israel responded by ordering the closure of the British consulate in Jerusalem within 30 days, and Israeli officials accused the UK of interfering in upcoming elections. Miliband rejected criticism from the chief rabbi, saying it was possible to stand up for British values without holding British Jews responsible for Israeli government actions.
In separate developments, the US and Iran launched new strikes against each other's ships, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards attacking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and the US destroying Iranian oil tankers, pushing oil prices to $100 a barrel for the first time since July. Meanwhile, UK airports continued to experience flight delays and cancellations after an air traffic control technical problem, with the chief executive ruling out a cyber attack. The funeral of Norway's King Harald V took place in Oslo, attended by members of European royal families and Ukraine's President Zelensky. The Food and Drink Federation warned that UK food inflation could reach nearly 4% by Christmas, citing climate change and the Middle East conflict as contributing factors.
