Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The lead story concerned a significant deterioration in UK-Israel relations after Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced sanctions on goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, described the occupation as unlawful, and used the term "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians by settler terrorists. Israel responded by closing the British consulate in Jerusalem, and reactions from Israeli, Palestinian, and US officials were reported, along with analysis of the policy's implications.
Separately, UK airports faced widespread disruption after a technical fault at air traffic control provider NATS, leading to hundreds of cancellations and delays, with recovery efforts ongoing. Saudi Arabia reported temporary halts at some energy facilities following drone and missile attacks by Houthi rebels, amid renewed conflict linked to the broader US-Iran war. In business news, LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed breakaway league, filed for bankruptcy in the US after its funding was withdrawn.
In France, thieves stole two Renoir paintings from a museum dedicated to the artist, dropping two others during their escape. The royal family also featured: Prince George started his first day at Eton College, while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex expressed surprise at a formal letter from the King clarifying their non-working royal status.
