Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
At the UN General Assembly in New York, Andy Burnham met Donald Trump for the first time. Trump's speech threatened Iran with annihilation and criticised the UN, while he held a series of televised meetings with world leaders. Trump described Burnham as a natural business person who gets it, and the meeting touched on trade, the Falklands, West Bank sanctions and the Chagos deal. Gary Gibbon, Lord Ricketts and Mick Mulvaney assessed the meeting and Trump's approach.
In the UK, Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey told his party conference in Brighton that it must fight hopelessness and cynicism and change broken politics, announcing a plan to raise the tax-free threshold to £15,000 and give most taxpayers a £680 tax cut. A prisons inspector report found woeful standards in youth custody in England and Wales, with high violence and inadequate education. The government borrowed another £18 billion last month, and the programme reported on a charity funding private school places for children in care amid high rates of young people not in employment, education or training.
Donald Trump met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in New York and said they were figuring out a way to end the war, while Russian strikes continued on Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure. The White House launched its own YouTube channel after banning CNN, MS Now and Politico from the White House, prompting a broadcast pool boycott and legal action; Chris Ruddy of Newsmax discussed the move and the First Amendment.
