Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Oil prices rose above $100 a barrel for the first time in six weeks following an escalation in the US-Iran conflict, with five Iranian tankers reportedly hit after Tehran attacked a US naval ship. Travel disruption continued at UK airports after an air traffic control fault, with 1,750 flights canceled yesterday and knock-on disruption expected at Heathrow. A Russian drone strike on a block of flats in Kiev injured five people, hitting the 11th and 12th floors, as Russia resumed attacks on the Ukrainian capital after a brief pause during a US peace negotiators' visit.
The Foreign Secretary defended UK sanctions against Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, rejecting the chief rabbi's claim that they could increase anti-Semitism. Ed Miliband said settler terrorists were carrying out ethnic cleansing and accused the Israeli government of turning a blind eye, adding that the sanctions aimed to prevent British companies from financing illegal settlements. Separately, five baby orangutans were rescued in a forest in India, where they are not native, and investigators suspect they may have been smuggled from another country.
