Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The broadcast opened with a war of words between the US and Ukrainian leaders after President Trump called on Ukraine to replace Volodymyr Zelensky, following Zelensky's criticism of a new US deal to import Russian diesel. Trump said the war should never have started and that Ukraine had lost territory and suffered heavy casualties; Russia welcomed his remarks, with a Kremlin negotiator calling them iconic and historic. A correspondent reported fury and dismay in Ukraine, noting that Kyiv still relies on US intelligence and weapons, and that the row had derailed talks in America. The Russian government said it had partially lifted a ban on diesel exports after agreeing to release 300,000 tonnes immediately, with the deal expected to bring about 100,000 barrels a day to the global market amid record US diesel prices. The segment also covered a Russian strike in Zaporizhia that killed at least 12 people, including three children.
Saudi Arabia said a Houthi attack killed 12 people and injured more than 300 at Riyadh International Airport, calling it a war crime; victims included Saudi, Bangladeshi, American, Egyptian, Jordanian, Syrian, Palestinian and Sudanese citizens. The airport closed and hundreds of flights were cancelled or diverted, while Saudi Arabia later said it intercepted a ballistic missile in Al-Kharj Governorate. An analyst described the attack as extremely serious and part of an all-out war, saying the US was more likely to bolster Saudi missile defences than join major strikes. In the US, at least four people died after Hurricane Isaias made landfall on the Gulf Coast as a category two storm before being downgraded, leaving thousands without power and prompting states of emergency in Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Hurricane Simon was a category four storm approaching Mexico's Pacific coast, where Manzanillo was under a hurricane warning, while tropical storm Rachel had already brought destructive waves to Long Beach, California.
With US midterm elections 24 days away, polling indicated Democrats were within reach of regaining the House and were fighting to flip the Senate. In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed held a razor-thin lead over Republican Mike Rogers, while in Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins faced Democrat Troy Jackson, with Bernie Sanders campaigning for Jackson and Barack Obama endorsing him and planning to campaign for El-Sayed. The broadcast also reported that Pike had regained consciousness after days intubated, and that Tennessee Governor Bill Lee ordered a third-party review and paused executions for the rest of the year. In the UK, police said a man died after entering a tiger enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in northern England; the park was evacuated, the animal remained inside, and the park was closed for the weekend.

Firstly, thank you, Hussein. When it comes to that attack that we've seen on Riyadh's international airport, how serious do you see this escalation as being? Well, I think it's extremely serious. It's mostly serious for the war between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia, which has become an all-out war in recent weeks.
