Prime Minister Andy Burnham is in New York for the UN General Assembly and is preparing for his first face-to-face meeting with US President Donald Trump, with both sides expected to seek common ground. The UK will send an RAF Voyager refuelling aircraft and a small number of liaison officers to support Saudi jets fighting Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, described as defensive support. An unexpected August surge in government borrowing to more than £18 billion has increased pressure on Chancellor John Healey before his first budget, with economists warning he may need to find £15 billion and that tax rises are likely. INEOS is mothballing three major chemical sites in Hull, blaming high UK gas prices, with up to 1,000 staff affected and 3,000 associated jobs at risk.
A dinghy carrying migrants that set off from the Normandy coast has spent more than 24 hours at sea and is being shadowed by a French coast guard vessel as it nears the Channel boundary. Scientists at the UK Health Security Agency say the deadly meningitis B outbreak earlier this year involved bacteria that borrowed genetic traits from less harmful bacteria, after an outbreak linked to a Canterbury nightclub. Martha's Rule, which allows families and staff to request an urgent review of a deteriorating patient, is to be rolled out to all emergency departments in England by March 2028. Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey is calling for a pause in the development of super-intelligent AI and a global treaty, as well as closer EU ties and tax cuts, while Piers Morgan says he plans to sue Earl Spencer over claims in his new book. A British father has pleaded guilty in Cyprus to causing death by negligence after his son fell from a hotel window, and at least four people have died after a typhoon hit Japan's eastern coast. A Rwandan doctor has appeared in a British court for the first time over crimes related to the 1994 genocide, denying the allegations, and new rules aim to make vet bills clearer with prescription fees capped at £21. Conservationists in Scotland are celebrating the reintroduction of Scottish wildcats to the Cairngorms, with 46 released and wild-born kittens recorded, though threats remain from traffic, disease, interbreeding and climate change.
In the West, aspiring soldiers say they have been rejected by the armed forces over minor or childhood medical conditions, with figures showing more than 114,000 army applications rejected on medical grounds in five years; the Ministry of Defence says cases are considered individually and policies have been updated. Bristol council is considering automatic number plate recognition cameras outside four primary schools to enforce school street closures at pick-up and drop-off times. The Palace Cinema in Cinderford, built in 1910, may close unless its owners can raise £70,000 for two new projectors.

Charged quote UK sends RAF Voyager to refuel Saudi jets in defensive support
given that they view Saudi as a very important strategic partner in the region, and they have sold the UK a lot of arms, billions of pounds worth of arms to the Saudis. So this really is more a gesture, but it's one that probably will help relations with the Saudis, even if they wanted more than what they've got. OK, thanks, Jonathan.
