Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
At the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced new capped safe and legal routes for refugees and said the UK resettlement route would reopen in partnership with the United Nations. Around a quarter of those resettled would be Afghan women and girls fleeing the Taliban, along with Palestinians who had fled Gaza. The broadcast reported concerns that reforms to indefinite leave to remain might be weakened, with suggestions of a compromise following pressure from a backbench rebellion, and included an interview with Labour MP Alex Ballinger about illegal crossings and deportations.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham chaired an emergency COBRA meeting after a suspected terror plot at RAF Fairford. Five British nationals in their twenties were arrested on suspicion of terrorism and explosive offences and then released on police bail. Counterterrorism police said the men remained under investigation and were considering whether they may have been acting for a foreign state or proxies. Iran rejected speculation as unfounded and malicious, calling it Iranophobia, while Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said the investigation was live, bail conditions were stringent, and it was too early to attribute responsibility. Residents were told they could return home.
Chancellor John Healey told the Labour conference that welfare reform was a moral duty and warned against an ever-growing benefits bill, saying the best thing for young people was a first job rather than benefit payments, and announced 100 million pounds for apprenticeships. The programme later reported that Angela Rayner would give councils powers to seize empty homes after six months, down from two years, and potentially rent them out for up to seven years. Emily Thornberry welcomed the announcement, saying empty homes during a housing crisis should be seized.
