Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Police were considering all lines of inquiry, including possible involvement of a hostile state, in the suspected terror plot near RAF Fairford. Five British men were arrested on suspicion of terrorism and explosive offences after reports of three suspicious vehicles outside the Gloucestershire airbase, then released on bail, a move President Donald Trump criticised. More than 100 evacuated people were allowed home; the head of Counter Terror Police kept an open mind on who was behind the incident; Iran rejected speculation of involvement; and after an emergency Cobra meeting Defence Secretary Wes Streeting praised the police response and said it was too early to attribute the plot, including whether those involved acted knowingly or unknowingly for proxies or state-backed actors. It was also reported that villagers near the base had been told an attack was imminent a day earlier.
The Home Secretary announced new safe and legal routes for vulnerable refugees, including women and girls from Afghanistan, Palestinians with critical medical needs and victims of torture, telling the Labour conference in Liverpool that the country had to meet its international obligations. At the same conference, John Healey declared welfare reform a moral duty, promised a new age of industrialisation, said the best thing for young people was a first job rather than benefit payments, and announced £100 million for apprenticeships. Three people, including a 10-year-old child, died and two were seriously injured after a small boat carrying around 100 migrants capsized off northern France, following more than 500 crossings of the English Channel on Sunday. SpaceX's Starship reached Earth's orbit for the first time despite an engine shutdown, but the mission ended hours early, with the booster landing explosively in the Gulf of Mexico and the spacecraft crashing into the Pacific.
Later discussion of newspaper front pages focused on Andy Burnham's conference speech and reports that he would signal an end to the state pension triple lock, with unions said to be softening opposition and the Times reporting a Labour split. Reports also said Burnham would vow greater public control of energy, water and housing, and the Independent said he was edging Labour closer to rejoining the EU after Ed Miliband said Britain's future was at the heart of Europe.

Charged quote Major incident near RAF Fairford after explosives arrests
and when you have these blokes who are literally 300 yards from the entrance of the airfield, I don't care what they were doing there. I don't care whether they were working for a fuel company. I don't care. Arrest them and do not let them go until you find out 100% what they were doing there. You have a copper in the area making a public statement saying,

Contested quote Andy Burnham gives first Labour conference speech as PM
Might as well bring the Telegraph up. OK, Carol, you are bang in favour of the triple lock. Completely in favour of the triple lock, yes. You know, this is a kamikaze move on the part of Burnham and the Labour Party. I mean, it's electoral suicide to talk about it and to then include it in the next manifesto.

will ever vote for them if they do this. The triple lock was brought in in 2010 to prevent pensioner poverty because for decades before that, pensioners were literally dying of starvation and dying of cold and they had no money. And this was supposed to stop that. The triple lock is not a gift. It's not an extra load of money.

if that's the case, pensioners need more money. You know, there are two and a half million pensioners in this country who depend on the state pension alone. I'm sick of hearing all this tosh about how there are millions of millionaire pensioners in this country. Some pensioners might live in a bigger house,

Charged quote Andy Burnham gives first Labour conference speech as PM
Yeah, but that's inflation. It's not wage inflation. But why shouldn't, why shouldn't, as a supposedly civilised society, we look after... I'm not a civilised society. I don't want my money to go to old people. Well, I do. I want to keep it. I really do. I want it to go to people who've worked all their lives

I want to keep it. I really do. I want it to go to people who've worked all their lives and who've paid for your pension. They're mugs. They're mugs for paying in. The whole thing's a pyramid scheme.
