Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told the European Parliament that Europe and Canada are stronger together, citing shared fundamental values and describing a strong economy as a means to a just society. The EU said Canada could become its first associate member, prompting more tariff threats from Donald Trump. Separately, King Charles is holding a summit with leading AI company heads in Scotland, where he will say decisions taken now will shape future generations and that the industry must keep technology in the service of humanity.
The Bank of England voted to leave interest rates unchanged at 3.75%, a decision split six to three, with Governor Andrew Bailey warning policy might tighten if the Middle East conflict persists. At least 20 people, including two children, were injured in Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, damaging an education facility, warehouses, and homes; Poland scrambled fighter jets and briefly closed two airports due to Russian drone attacks on western Ukraine. Buckingham Palace rejected claims in Earl Spencer's memoir that King Charles allegedly said 'we'll soon forget her soon enough' after Princess Diana's death, stating His Majesty was mindful that fraternal grief can colour memory.
