Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The UK government, alongside France and Canada, announced sanctions against goods and services linked to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, with Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband describing settler violence as ethnic cleansing. Israel responded by closing the UK consulate in East Jerusalem and barring 12 Britons, including 11 MPs, from entering the country. The Chief Rabbi called it a dark day for Britain's Jews, while the US response was muted.
A technical issue with air traffic control caused hundreds of flight cancellations and delays at UK airports, with the problem fixed but disruption ongoing. In education, international PISA rankings showed England's 15-year-olds among the best in the world in reading, maths and science, while Wales continued to lag behind other UK nations, with global reading scores declining.
Oil prices moved towards $100 a barrel amid US-Iran conflict and Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, while the Consultative Shipping Group warned that maritime trade could face breakdown. The assisted dying bill was reintroduced for a second reading, with a man describing his wife's death after she acted without legal options. The Nottingham attacks inquiry heard that one victim's death was potentially preventable, and French police searched for thieves who stole two Renoir paintings after dropping two others.

behind other UK nations. So what's been the reaction there? Well, opposition parties have been weighing in as you'd expect. The Tories have said that a whole generation of young people in Wales is being failed. Back in 2023, at the last PISA results round, Wales was last of the four UK nations with the gap widening.

Charged quote Inquiry hears Nottingham attack victim could have been saved
I'm exhausted already. It's lunchtime, but it's been a day that's felt like a lifetime. It was devastating, devastating to learn that survivability reports carried out on Barney, Grace and Ian that there was a chance that Barney could have been saved. Had things been done differently, he did survive into the ambulance.
