Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
German police confirmed the suspect in the Berlin Pride Festival attack, 21-year-old Abdul Balut, has been shot and killed. The attack involved a van driving into crowds and a machete assault, killing one woman and injuring 29 others. Authorities described the suspect as known to them and part of the Islamist scene, treating the incident as an Islamist terrorist attack.
In southwest France, a further 55,000 people were evacuated as wildfires threatened Bordeaux, with an uncontrollable firestorm described by local fire chiefs. In Spain, 76,000 people have fled wildfires, with a new fire spreading northeast of Valencia. In Scotland, villagers evacuated from Nethy Bridge in the Cairngorms are being allowed to return home as heavy rains slowed the fire's spread. Meanwhile, a water supply outage at Gatwick Airport left passengers with no working toilets and affected bars and restaurants, with engineers working to fix the problem.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham ruled out calling an early general election and said he would be prepared to stand up to President Trump to defend Britain's national interests. In an interview, he would not say whether he trusts the US President but insisted he would defend national interests. The Conservatives accused Burnham of throwing around unfunded spending commitments worth £96 billion, warning of higher taxes or borrowing. Burnham is sticking to a defence spending target of 3.5% of GDP by 2035, though his new Chancellor resigned as defence secretary arguing for a faster target.
