Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been evacuated from parts of France and Spain as major wildfires continue to burn. President Macron visited the Gironde region near Bordeaux, where a huge wildfire has destroyed a large area of forest and is now just nine miles from the city. In Spain, more than 120,000 acres have burned near Madrid, with the country in its fifth day of a national emergency. There are fears that a temperature surge could make the fires worse. Separately, a funeral director, Robert Bush, pleaded guilty to 67 offenses including preventing the burials of 30 people and giving families the wrong ashes. In court, bereaved families read victim impact statements describing the impact of his actions.
Police reported that three people died in two separate incidents after getting into difficulty in the sea during warm weather, including a father and daughter in Cornwall. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the NHS will collapse unless changes are made to the adult social care system in England, and he called for cross-party talks to find a solution. Reform UK reported the leader of the Green Party to the police for incitement to murder after he shared a social media post featuring a guillotine image alongside a photo of a man wearing a t-shirt with a Nigel Farage reference. The future of the Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank is under threat after the government agency responsible for research decided to cut support. The TV presenter and comedian Bill Oddie has died at the age of 85; he was known for his work with the Goodies and as a wildlife presenter.
