Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The UK's Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis condemned the Green Party's motion labelling Zionism as racism as poisonous anti-Semitism. His criticism followed party leader Zack Polanski being barred from entering Israel in retaliation for the motion passed at the Greens conference yesterday. The vote exposed divisions within the party, as four of its five MPs publicly rejected it.
The US Air Force was reported to have hastily withdrawn all its bombers from RAF Fairford because of new threats against the Gloucestershire base following a suspected terror plot. A US official told the New York Times the information formed part of the same threat warnings from three weeks earlier, with more specific details emerging in the past 24 hours. Counter-terrorism police said on Saturday that a sixth man arrested in connection with events at RAF Fairford had been released on bail. BT Group also agreed a £400 million rescue package for broadband provider TalkTalk, which BT said would protect services for TalkTalk's 2.5 million customers, whose services support critical national infrastructure providers across health, emergency services, defence, education, transport, banking and government.
Anti-migrant protesters clashed with police in Hampshire as lifeboats brought nearly 150 people ashore in Gosport. The migrant vessel had been shadowed by French rescue vessels after leaving Normandy until it was met by RNLI boats in English waters; departures from so far west on the northern French coast are rare, but it was the third such crossing in a month. In Brazil, Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, defied predictions to win the first round of the presidential election by beating 80-year-old left-wing incumbent Lula da Silva. He will wait for a second round later this month but is a strong favourite to win as other right-wing candidates have dropped out, and he promised to free his father from house arrest after Jair Bolsonaro was jailed for 27 years for his part in a coup nearly four years ago.
