Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The broadcast opened with the news that police had recovered the body of a child in the search for missing three-year-old Noah Woods, with thoughts sent to his family. It also reported that the village of Piddington had voted to leave the UK in response to plans to house more than 1,200 illegal migrants in the village of about 300 people, though great crested newts could potentially block the development.
The programme then covered a royal controversy after Earl Spencer's memoir alleged that King Charles had said Princess Diana would be forgotten soon enough. Buckingham Palace responded that grief may have clouded Spencer's memory. Also discussed was Andy Burnham's warning of a challenging budget after inflation rose to 3.1% and borrowing costs increased, with the i newspaper leading on that story.
Later, the show noted a lighter story: Bob the Builder had been accused of spreading net zero propaganda after appearing in an eco-friendly advert for energy company Eon, fitting solar panels and promoting a net zero training academy.
