Andy Burnham held his first face-to-face talks with President Trump at the United Nations in New York, after Trump addressed the General Assembly and said Iran should reach an agreement and rebuild or face annihilation, adding that Iran must never have a nuclear weapon. Their meeting covered Ukraine, the Middle East, Iran, trade and the Falklands, and Trump said Burnham was a natural business person. Trump's speech also addressed Cuba, crime cartels, American military power and artificial intelligence, and a security agreement between the US, Denmark and Greenland was signed that would end his demand to own the Arctic territory. Police confirmed they were investigating a suspected terrorist plot against Manchester's Jewish community, with two men in their 30s arrested on Sunday and searches in Liverpool and Salford; police believed it was targeted over the Jewish festival period and said they did not think there were further threats to the public.
New rules to bring down the cost of vet bills began to be rolled out gradually, including transparency measures such as published price lists, written estimates, keeping written prescription fees at £21 and showing if practices are part of a large corporate group; critics said the phased measures would not work and more was needed to curb the six companies that own more than two thirds of practices. A woman and three children died in a house fire in Bootle on Merseyside, where crews were called in the early hours and one person outside was taken to hospital with burns. Government borrowing in August was £18.3 billion, £3.5 billion more than expected and the second highest August figure on record, increasing pressure on the chancellor and prime minister before the budget. INEOS said production had been paused at three chemical plants in Hull because of high UK gas prices, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe claiming gas costs up to 12 times more than in the US and describing government energy policy as economic vandalism.
Piers Morgan demanded that Penguin remove Earl Spencer's new book about Princess Diana from shelves, saying it contained defamatory lies about him, after Earl Spencer apologised for wrongly claiming Morgan was in charge of the Mirror Group when the Sunday Mirror published covert photos of Diana at a gym in 1993; the publisher said it would amend future editions and Morgan said he was taking legal action. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey told his party's Brighton conference he would raise the tax-free personal allowance to £15,000 and the higher rate threshold to £56,000, with the £17 billion cost funded by growing the economy through closer ties with Europe including rejoining the EU single market. Martha's Rule, a specialist helpline allowing an urgent review of a patient's care, was rolled out across all emergency departments in England from today. Scientists said the meningitis B outbreak in Kent last March, in which two people died and nine needed intensive care, was caused by a new strain created through horizontal gene transfer, and the current vaccine works. Wildcats were said to be thriving in parts of Scotland after releases in the Cairngorms two years ago, with conservationists planning to boost numbers and reintroduce them elsewhere in Scotland.
