Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Police arrested five men near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act after three suspicious vehicles were reported travelling towards the base in the early hours. Bomb disposal robots examined the vehicles, homes in nearby Wellford were evacuated, and RAF Fairford, which hosts US Air Force heavy bombers and has been used by the US to launch bombing raids on Iran, was put on high alert. The UK defence secretary said the incident was a reminder of the daily threats the UK faces, Donald Trump said the men were looking to do big damage, and counter-terrorism police appealed for anyone with information to come forward.
At the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, Prime Minister Andy Burnham promised a national care service in England free at the point of delivery, saying he wanted to fix the crisis in adult social care. He said the changes would not come before a general election, when Labour would set out how they would be funded, while the Conservatives said they would not support tax increases to fund changes to social care.
In Portadown, County Armagh, hundreds of protesters blocked a road to prevent a loyalist Orange Order march down the Garvaghy Road, which had been authorised for the first time in almost 30 years, and a standoff continued for hours with a heavy police presence; Northern Ireland's first minister criticised the parade, the DUP called her presence unlawful, and the Northern Ireland secretary appealed for calm. Ten NHS staff were removed from duty or suspended after concerns about unauthorised access to the patient records of Noah Woods, the toddler found dead after going missing from a play area in Suffolk; the East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust apologised for a possible data breach and said an investigation had been launched.
