Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The Chief Constable of Cleveland Police, Victoria Fuller, said her force was let down by funding and resources, noting some of the highest crime levels in the country with fewer than half the number of officers of bigger metropolitan forces. She spoke after a fatal head-on crash near Middlesbrough that killed seven people, including two police officers, amid an ongoing police operation in Grangetown linked to a feud between rival gangs. The report highlighted residents' distrust of police, with one young person saying they would rather die than call them, and Fuller acknowledged that was horrifying. A government pledge of an extra £2 million was described by her as insufficient to buy enough officers.
Nigel Farage, at his party's annual conference in Birmingham, denied allegations that Reform UK accepted disguised foreign donations, dismissing them as loose pub talk after undercover filming showed a close aide suggesting ways around electoral law; two officials stepped down pending an investigation. In the US, the trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of murdering her three children, ended in a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict. Argentina's president claimed winds of change favouring his country's sovereignty over the Falklands, while Downing Street said the UK's position was unwavering and islanders' wishes were paramount. In Nepal, two men were rescued from tunnels at a power plant nine days after flash floods, with hundreds still missing. At the US Open, two-time champion Naomi Osaka called for fans to respect tennis etiquette after disruptions caused by social media influencers filming themselves during matches.
