Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband addressed the Labour Conference in Liverpool, saying the events at RAF Fairford yesterday were a reminder of the threats faced by the country. He argued for continuing economic sanctions on Iran, saying the UK must be prepared to confront security threats in Europe and the world, prevent a nuclear Iran through sanctions, act against Iran’s proxies, and continue to isolate Iran so it reopens the Strait of Hormuz, which he said was essential to tackling the cost of living crisis at home. The possibility of an Iranian link to the events near RAF Fairford comes after a series of incidents on UK soil thought to be connected to the regime there. No motive has yet been established for any potential plot near the base, which is used by the US military. The five people arrested are still being questioned by counter-terror police, bomb disposal teams have been examining vehicles near the site, and dozens of homes in the surrounding area have been evacuated.
The cost of diesel has hit an all-time high, with the average cost of a litre passing £1.99 for the first time. The previous record was set in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Over the past seven months, the Iran war has led to severe disruption in the production and transportation of wholesale oil. The RAC said the rise spelt pain not only at the pumps for drivers but for everyone who buys goods or services that rely on diesel lorries and vans.
In Hawaii, the Kilauea volcano is erupting, illuminating the night with a spectacular display of flowing lava. Scientists with the US Geological Survey say the volcano, which is one of the most active in the world, has been experiencing intermittent smaller eruptions over the last couple of years.
