Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
President Trump has offered to give $5,000 to every American adult if the Republicans win the midterm elections in November, a pledge that would cost around $1.3 trillion. His speech provided no detail on how the government would fund the payment or whether it would be legal to offer such an inducement to voters, as support for the president has been falling amid rising living costs.
Mayors in England are being given the power to introduce a tourist tax in their regions, with details to be set out later. The hospitality industry has warned that a levy, which is not expected to be capped, could put jobs at risk, while Edinburgh Council has already introduced a 5% tax on the first five nights of paid accommodation, projected to raise up to £50 million a year. Separately, the RNLI is reviewing its security procedures after protests in Dover and Portsmouth targeted some members, following online criticism of its involvement in rescuing migrants arriving on small boats; the charity says these operations are a tiny fraction of its call-outs. A fire on a ferry in the Philippines has killed at least five people, with more than 80 unaccounted for, and rescue operations involving coast guard, military, and civilian boats are underway off Palawan, with 43 people rescued.
