Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham, in his first major interview, told the BBC he would call out Donald Trump if it served Britain's national interest, ruled out an early general election, and declined to commit to a specific 3% defence spending target by 2030 despite his Chancellor's previous demand. Political commentators assessed his first week as strong, noting his communication style and early cost-of-living announcements.
In Berlin, police identified a 21-year-old suspect with Islamist links after a car was driven into a Pride event, killing one and injuring 16. In France, around a quarter of a million people were ordered to evacuate near Bordeaux as wildfires spread, with a military cargo plane deployed; in Spain, two large fires near Madrid remained out of control, affecting about 100,000 people. India's Education Minister resigned after weeks of protests by young people over exam cancellations, job shortages, and corruption.
Russia launched ballistic missiles on Kyiv, causing fires, and Iran accused Ukraine of attacking a commercial ship in the Caspian Sea, which Ukraine denied. BBC Verify reported on online conspiracy theories falsely claiming sunscreen causes cancer, noting health experts' concerns that such misinformation could discourage sun protection.
