Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Twelve people were killed and more than 300 injured in an attack on the international airport in Riyadh. The attack is believed to have been carried out by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. Riyadh Airport remained closed, and the Houthis warned airlines and passengers against using Saudi airports and airspace. The UK defence secretary said the UK could potentially provide more support for Saudi Arabia, while President Trump said the US could get involved in offensive strikes. Analysis from Aden described the attack as highly significant and said further escalation and tit-for-tat actions were expected, with concerns about oil flows, shortages and rising prices.
Visitors to a Yorkshire wildlife park described their shock and distress after a man was killed when he entered the tiger enclosure; he died at the scene, the park remained closed during an investigation, and the park said the tiger was safe and would not be euthanized. President Trump said Russia and Ukraine had agreed an energy ceasefire effective immediately, though there was no confirmation from Moscow. President Zelensky said he supported the ceasefire and was awaiting details, while the UK government reiterated support for him and the defence secretary said the UK disagreed with the US over a diesel deal with Russia.
In central Nepal, severe flash flooding destroyed bridges and damaged a hydropower facility, with at least 95 people rescued and residents told to leave. Pope Leo said he would undergo surgery to remove an early-stage nodule in his lung, announcing it at the Angelus prayer; the operation was expected within days and recovery about a week, and he mentioned a planned trip to Latin America in November. Manchester City played at Liverpool in their first game since being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules, with Liverpool fans lighting flares, displaying banners calling City cheats, and booing during the match.
