Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The government is expected to announce new sanctions on goods and services from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, with the Foreign Secretary stating the settlements are illegal under international law, though not boycotting all business with Israel. Israel's president called it gross interference in elections and urged dialogue instead. In Ukraine, at least three people were killed in Kiev after a Russian attack lasting over five hours, and Russian drones struck two passenger trains, but passengers were evacuated safely. President Zelensky hopes to meet Donald Trump to discuss ballistic missile defences.
UK school students scored highly in the international Pisa tests for science, reading and maths, though organisers warned of a concerning decline in international reading standards, blaming digital distractions and changing attitudes. Two thieves stole four Renoir paintings from a museum on the French Riviera, abandoning two in a garden as they escaped; the robbery occurred before 6am, and the suspects were identified on CCTV and are being sought.
