Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The bulletin began with Aaron Armstrong's headlines, which reported that Kieran Coar, the mother of Henry Novak's killer, could be freed early under the government's early release scheme after being jailed for three years for removing the murder weapon, while Vikram Diggle was jailed for life for stabbing the 18-year-old student in Southampton, and the Home Office said Coar, an Indian national, could be deported. It also reported new NHS England guidance that trans women will no longer be placed on female-only wards, with wards, toilets and changing rooms used on the basis of biological sex rather than gender identity. Further headlines covered the DUP's response to Jeffrey Donaldson's 15-year sentence for child sex offences, the Russell Brand trial evidence, John Healey's reported plan to increase taxes on banks, President Trump saying the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan will not be live streamed, and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's engagements in Nottingham.
In the newspaper review, the programme reported that the Independent said the licence fee could be widened to web streaming to help the BBC, described as a YouTube tax extending to Netflix, Disney Plus and Amazon. It reported the Metro's coverage of a Trump-Putin diesel agreement and Zelensky's anger, the Daily Express's report on Nigel Farage warning about small boat sex attacks and blaming the effects of more than 200,000 undocumented men entering the UK, and the Daily Mail's report that the Education Secretary wants speaking skills to be as important as reading and writing in new GCSE plans. It also noted front-page coverage of Harry and Meghan's Nottingham visit across several papers, followed by a panel discussion about the visit, press coverage, their public role and public engagements.
Later, the programme returned to reports that the Chancellor was poised to raise taxes on banks and that John Healey and Ed Miliband had been in Bangkok for the IMF and World Bank meetings, alongside discussion of energy bills rising twice in the new year. It also covered the Independent's report on extending the licence fee to streaming platforms to fund local journalism and tackle misinformation. At the end, it played footage of student protesters at City University of London disrupting a talk by a lawyer who represented British people connected to hostages in Gaza, with protesters referring to Zionist hostages and demanding the release of Palestinian prisoners.

Contested quote Harry and Meghan make first joint UK engagement since moving back
According to Tom Bower, who said exactly that. But let me tell you, the people reading his books are smaller than they were too. It seems to me that there is a shift nationally based on these front pages, and I don't think Harry or the Duchess... It's slightly unfortunate placing of the words dumb and dumb

Charged quote Harry and Meghan make first joint UK engagement since moving back
I think when Meghan was initially on the scene, it was quite positive. People forget that. There was a lot of positivity and a lot of warmth, and then it turned sour. And what I'm saying is it seems to me now like they are now being given a bit of a fresh start by the British media. Yeah, I think so.
