An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The far-right AfD in Germany achieved its strongest ever regional election result in Saxony-Anhalt, taking more than 44% of the vote according to exit polls, while Chancellor Merz's CDU saw support almost halve. A cargo plane overshot the runway at Miami International Airport, struck vehicles, and closed all runways, with emergency services treating multiple patients. In Portsmouth, anti-migrant protesters tried to stop a group of 140 people who crossed the Channel from being taken to Kent for processing, after a boat departed from western Normandy. US peace envoys visiting Kyiv described their talks with President Zelensky as meaningful and substantive, though Zelensky stressed the need for more air defences and energy support ahead of winter.
Jaguar Land Rover is expected to announce up to 4,000 job cuts, mainly through voluntary redundancy among management and back-office staff, as the industry faces Chinese competition, tariffs, and the costly electric transition. Volcanic activity from Mount Anak Krakatau has closed eight Indonesian airports, stranding around 170,000 passengers. In sport, Kimi Antonelli won the Italian Grand Prix after starting 19th, while Charles Leclerc escaped a 130mph crash, and Katie Taylor retired undefeated after beating Flora Pili in front of 84,000 at Croke Park. Locally, dead eels and fish were found in a Bristol brook following a pollution spill, leading to a warning to keep children and dogs away.
