Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Five men were arrested near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act and offences under the Explosives Act after police were alerted to three suspicious vehicles travelling towards the base. Armed officers responded, 85 homes in nearby Whelford were evacuated, and an army robot examined three white vans, with what appeared to be a controlled explosion heard. RAF Fairford hosts US Air Force heavy bombers used this year to launch bombing raids on Iran. President Trump said the men had been under investigation, while a local woman said she called 999 after seeing the vans and masked men. The prime minister described the incident as deeply concerning, and the area remained cordoned off.
At the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, Andy Burnham promised a national care service in England free at the point of delivery to address the crisis in adult social care, drawing on the recent death of his father, who had Alzheimer's. He said funding would be set out precisely and put to voters at the next general election, while acknowledging constraints on the public finances; the Conservatives said they would not support tax increases to fund social care changes. In Portadown, County Armagh, hundreds of protesters blocked Garvaghy Road to prevent an Orange Order Drumcree parade authorised for the first time in almost 30 years. Police said the protest was unlawful; First Minister Michelle O'Neill urged demonstrators to stay, the DUP criticised her, and the prime minister appealed for calm. The parade did not go ahead, and discussions were to continue.
In Yemen, fighting intensified around Taiz as government forces tried to halt an advance by Iranian-backed Houthi fighters after the Houthis seized the Red Sea port of Mokha. The BBC reported from the frontline, where a Houthi drone forced troops and journalists to take cover, and more than 100,000 people had been displaced, with casualties including civilians taken to hospital. In sport, the Republic of Ireland beat Israel 3-0 in a Nations League match overshadowed by controversy: Irish players wore black armbands, refused customary handshakes with the opposition over the Israel-Gaza war, and goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu withdrew, saying his stance was against atrocities in the region. The match was hosted in Hungary due to the war.
