Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The government announced a revised early release scheme for prisoners in England and Wales, excluding rapists, serious child sex abusers, and groomers, but still allowing the early release of two men convicted over the death of PC Andrew Harper. The Justice Secretary apologised to PC Harper's mother, and the government said a prison-building programme is underway, though prisons remain over 97% full. Separately, FIFA President Gianni Infantino called an emergency meeting after the head of the Jordanian FA accused FIFA of blackmail, and Infantino faced backlash over a withdrawn plan to sell World Cup shares.
In Greece, Sharif Amadzai, a boxer and charity worker, is due in court charged with the murder of Scottish aid worker Elizabeth Jane Ross, whose body was found in a suitcase; he admits moving the body but claims he found her dead. In Ukraine, a street vendor in Kherson was injured by a Russian drone in what was described as a deliberate campaign to intimidate civilians, while Ukraine struck Russian warehouses. A migrant boat carrying 168 people sank in the Channel, with all rescued and returned to France. In Gaza, funerals were held for 112 people, mostly women and children, killed in an Israeli bombing in November 2023, with recovery teams still finding bodies. A Cambridge University study found that current NHS breast cancer screening guidelines miss the majority of higher-risk women under 50, and researchers called for a new risk assessment tool. A memorial service was held for mountaineer Nims Purja, a former Gurkha and record-breaker who died in an avalanche in Pakistan. York Minster's Rose Window is undergoing conservation to protect it from climate change, with a £1.4 million project to install UV glass.
