The broadcast began with a review of Saturday's newspaper front pages, highlighting several major stories. These included wildfires forcing evacuations in Spain and France, a report that net zero energy policies risk blackouts according to a whistleblower, and claims that Iranian agents are entering the UK as Channel migrants. Other stories covered included the Southport victims' families' statement about Axel Rudakubana, a child support scandal driving fathers to suicide, and water bosses receiving pay rises despite a bonus ban.
