Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
MPs are set to vote again on legalising assisted dying for terminally ill adults in England and Wales, with an identical bill to one that previously failed in the House of Lords. Asian share prices fell sharply in response to rising oil costs, with Japan's Nikkei dropping more than 2% and Brent crude trading just above $108 a barrel, while the UN special envoy for Yemen warned of a new and more dangerous phase in that country's civil war after Houthi forces seized the port of Mocha. Donald Trump closed the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, promising $5,000 to every American citizen if Republicans win November's election.
Three people were jailed in Hong Kong for organising a vigil marking the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, Canada pledged $250 million worth of air defence interceptors to Ukraine, a tourist coach crash in the Swiss Alps left several dead and injured, and Peru said it would join a US-led coalition against drug cartels. Commemorations took place across the United States for the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The Israeli military said it demolished Hezbollah's underground tunnel network in southern Lebanon using more than 1,000 tons of explosives, and Australia hosted its first-ever NFL match, with the San Francisco 49ers beating the Los Angeles Rams in Melbourne.
