Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Counter-terrorism police are investigating after a major incident was declared and homes were evacuated near RAF Fairford, a Gloucestershire military airbase hosting the United States Air Force. Several men were arrested on suspicion of explosive offences, and army explosives experts examined vehicles as residents in Whelford were moved to a nearby leisure centre after police told them to leave at about 6:30am. A correspondent reported armed officers patrolling the perimeter and three vans that arrived in the village overnight; police were due to hold a news conference. The transcript said experts were looking at possible links to US military activity or the Russian state, but this was speculation, and locals were unclear when they could return home.
The Prime Minister announced plans for a national care service in England that would be free at the point of care, speaking at the Labour Conference in Liverpool. Andy Burnham said he had to tackle a threadbare social care system that could break the NHS, while the Conservatives said any tax increases to fund social care were a red line. The report said Burnham would put his plan to voters at the next general election, that the party's current manifesto pledge not to raise income tax, VAT or national insurance made the goal difficult, and that a previous compulsory levy on estates, dubbed a death tax, was not off the table. A senior minister said fixing social care could mean difficult decisions elsewhere, including redistributing money and possibly reforming the triple lock, and Burnham was due to give more answers in his conference speech on Tuesday.
Hundreds of protesters blocked a road in Portadown, County Armagh, ahead of a march by the Loyalist Orange Order that had been authorised for the first time in almost 30 years. The Drumcree parade, associated with violent clashes in the past, was due to take place in a mainly Irish nationalist area; the Prime Minister appealed for calm, and the First Minister questioned the way the peace process works. Police warned protesters they could be arrested, the parades body allowed 35 Orange Order members to take part, and police told them at 8am the road was not clear; unionists accused Sinn Fein of whipping up hysteria, the Northern Ireland secretary called for calm, and there was no sign of a breakthrough. Also, ten NHS staff were removed from duty or suspended after concerns about unauthorised access to patient records of Noah Woods, the three-year-old found dead after going missing in Suffolk; the trust apologised, and an investigation was launched. South African police were hunting perpetrators of two shootings that killed 27 people near Johannesburg and Cape Town, and Pope Leo was due to meet survivors of clerical sexual abuse on the third day of his France visit after holding mass in Lourdes.
