Broadcast overview

An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.

Earl Spencer, Princess Diana's brother, told the BBC in an interview that he sees echoes of Diana's treatment by the media in coverage of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. He rejected the perception that he favours Prince Harry, saying he is on the side of both of his nephews, and spoke about the unpleasantness of tabloid articles and the need to learn from Diana's example. He later told the Mail on Sunday that his late sister would be cheering from the rafters about his book, and called a Buckingham Palace statement questioning his memories 'astonishingly provocative and below the belt', accusing the King of gaslighting him. A royal correspondent noted that Buckingham Palace has made no further comment since last Wednesday.

Authorities in Moscow said at least two people were killed and six injured in a massive overnight Ukrainian drone attack on the city. Ukraine's President Zelensky confirmed that Kiev had hit a key Russian oil facility and a logistics site, describing the targets as representing billions of dollars that sustained the war machine. Moscow's mayor said 450 drones heading for the capital had been shot down in the largest such attack on the Russian capital so far. Russia's Ukraine editor reported a quiet resignation among Muscovites and noted that the election process is tightly controlled by the Kremlin, with Putin likely to use the results to show the country is behind the war.

Ed Sheeran apologised on stage to fans in Philadelphia and admitted making mistakes following controversy over his world tour, after support act Macklemore was removed over pro-Palestinian remarks and other support acts dropped out. Sheeran addressed the Gaza situation, calling what happened in Israel on October 7th horrific and what is happening in Gaza catastrophic and unjustifiable, while also mentioning systemic injustice in the West Bank. He said he had questioned whether he wanted to be an artist at all. Separately, the Liberal Democrats called on the government to immediately cut fuel duty by 10p a litre for three months to cope with spiralling petrol and diesel prices, with their leader Ed Davey saying people need help now because of 'Trump's mad war with Iran'.
