Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
At least 12 people died and more than 300 were injured in an attack on Riyadh International Airport by Yemen's Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran. All flights to and from the airport were suspended, and the rebels warned airlines and passengers not to use Saudi airspace. President Trump said he was considering joining Saudi strikes on the Houthis. A correspondent in Jerusalem said 600 flights had been cancelled, that the Houthis had warned there could be more attacks, and that the escalation was part of the broader conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran, with diplomacy and military strikes having not worked.
Visitors to Yorkshire Wildlife Park described shock and distress after a man was killed when he entered the tiger enclosure yesterday. The park remained closed while an investigation continued, with staff receiving specialist support. An eyewitness said the man was listening to headphones, climbed a fence, entered the enclosure and lay down in front of the tiger, and that staff evacuated the bridge and the park. The tiger, named Altai, was uninjured and would not be euthanised, while the man's identity and age had not been confirmed. In central Nepal, more flash flooding destroyed bridges and damaged a hydropower facility; 49 people were rescued and residents were told to leave, with the country on high alert after recent floods in which a glacier collapsed along the border with Tibet.
Ukraine continued to launch strikes on Russian infrastructure after Donald Trump called on President Zelensky to stand down for prolonging the war, following criticism from Zelensky after the US lifted sanctions on Russian diesel. Trump said Zelensky should have an election and blamed Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries for oil price rises. The UK defence secretary criticised the US decision to buy Russian oil and backed Zelensky, while Downing Street reiterated complete solidarity with Ukraine and was working on a plan for the two leaders to meet. Zelensky said Ukraine would be ready to stop striking Russian oil refineries if Russia stopped striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Pope Leo announced he would undergo surgery after a very early-stage nodule was found in his lung during a routine check-up; the 71-year-old said it appeared well-contained, thanked people for their prayers, and recovery was expected to take around a week. There was increased policing and security at Anfield ahead of Manchester City's game against Liverpool after the Premier League found City guilty of all charges related to financial rules, the first time the club had faced a rival since the decision.
