Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Reform UK condemned the government's plan to backdate new rules limiting political donations to March, with deputy leader Richard Tice insisting that two £36 million donations from crypto-billionaires had no strings attached. The proposal to cap expat donations at £100,000 is to be debated in the House of Lords, with the government arguing that donations should come from British residents and taxpayers.
The EU's foreign policy chief said a Russian drone attack on a train near Ukraine's Poland border on Sunday was meant to scare Western nations, occurring just after a train carrying international delegates from a security conference in Kiev had left, including senior security officials and former UK PM Boris Johnson. China responded to a call from the boss of AI company Anthropic to restrict AI chip sales to China, stating that fear-mongering and vicious competition would disrupt global AI governance. New school dinner standards will ban deep-fried food and increase fruit and vegetables, with cake limited to once a week in primary schools and twice in secondaries, and breakfast clubs for the first time subject to nutrition rules.
