Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The bulletin led with a mass shooting at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, where a 16-year-old gunman killed three children aged five, eight and 11 and a teacher; a bystander shot the gunman and was praised, while the FBI assisted and classes were cancelled. It reported that Johannes Natland, a 19-year-old Norwegian, was detained for 20 years for travelling to England to act as a hitman for an organised crime group after being arrested in a Huddersfield hotel with guns and ammunition. Other international stories included a father fined £2,500 after his two-year-old son fell to his death from a Cyprus hotel window; masked Jewish settlers attacking Palestinians harvesting olives in the occupied West Bank village of Abu Fala; 19 people injured, two seriously, when a bus hit a stationary freight train near the Channel Tunnel; and European leaders rallying around Volodymyr Zelensky in Brussels as Donald Trump said Mr Zelensky was harder to deal with than Vladimir Putin and called Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries a disgrace.
UK stories included Kiran Kaur, mother of Vikram Digwa, who could be released early and deported after hiding the knife used in Henry Nowak's murder; former Police Scotland sergeant Campbell Petrie being jailed for 12 years for rape and other sex crimes; Yorkshire Wildlife Park reopening after William Chapman was mauled to death by a tiger; a wildfire scientist warning the UK was decades behind other countries in preparing for wildfires; the Prime Minister arguing in Scotland for more powers to be devolved to cities and regions, with SNP reaction in Aberdeen; banks' shares falling amid speculation about a budget tax rise on big banks; people with sight loss saying smart glasses stigma excluded them from public spaces; and a pioneering metagenomic test that detects infections within a day and helped save a 10-year-old girl.
In the regional insert, a cyclist spent ten days in a coma after hitting broken ground on the Bristol and Bath Railway path; a student denied murdering housemate Jamie Collins in Bristol; a man from Wiltshire was charged with attempted murder and other serious offences while Leigh Quarington faced charges including threatening a woman with a knife and was remanded; Southfield primary in Bristol reported a data breach; and part of the M5 past Gloucester closed for the weekend to remove two concrete footbridges. Later, the bulletin reported new evidence that shopping centres are in decline, with Savills saying 17% of units were vacant as more people shopped online.
