Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced changes to the prisoner early release scheme, meaning those convicted of manslaughter, including PC Andrew Harper's killers, will be excluded from early release in England and Wales. The changes also cover indecent assault, death by dangerous driving, and historical child sex offenses. The government says this will keep hundreds more prisoners in jail, and plans to deport more foreign criminals and end indeterminate sentences for public protection. The Conservatives accused the Prime Minister of changing position weekly, and the victims commissioner noted some families still face an agonizing wait. Full details are expected when MPs return to the Commons next week.
In Nepal, rescue operations continue after flash floods that killed more than 700 people, with thousands still unaccounted for. Heavy rains and a new landslide lake in China are hampering efforts, and nearly 20,000 people are involved in the rescue. The disaster affected nearly 100,000 people and is the worst to hit Nepal in a decade. Separately, a manhunt is underway in Switzerland after a shooting at a rave killed a 22-year-old woman and injured five others.
Notting Hill Carnival is marking its 60th anniversary in West London, with around 2 million people expected to attend. The event, which originated from resistance to racial injustice, features music, food, and a children's day, with a visible police presence and over 4,000 volunteer stewards.
