Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
At least 359 people are known to have died in devastating floods in Nepal and Tibet, with 1,300 still missing, including 33 British nationals and dozens of British families. The prime minister pledged £5 million in aid, and the King said he and the Queen were heartbroken. The flood was triggered by a glacier collapse, creating a wave travelling at 100 miles per hour, and there are fears a new lake formed by debris could burst. In the UK, armed police attended multiple incidents in Middlesbrough following a crash on the A66 that killed two police officers and five young men, as well as a suspected arson that killed a woman and her seven-year-old niece, and a suspected stabbing – with police unable to rule out links to organised crime. The war criminal Ratko Mladić, known as the Butcher of Bosnia, died in prison aged 84 while serving a life sentence for genocide and crimes against humanity.
UEFA is preparing to bring criminal proceedings against FIFA president Gianni Infantino over his failed plan to sell World Cup stakes, accusing him of criminal mismanagement. Flash flooding from thunderstorms hit the West Midlands, causing significant damage to homes and businesses and forcing Birmingham airport to temporarily pause operations. New Home Office data showed asylum applications fell by 21%, the number of migrants in hotels dropped by half, and small boat arrivals decreased by around 23%, though opposition parties said numbers remained too high. Prince Harry and Meghan, who have moved to the UK, have been given only a police liaison phone number for protection; a former royal protection officer described the decision as incredible and putting them in danger. The Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, known for her polka dot and infinity room installations, died at age 97. The cousin of One Direction singer Liam Payne, who died in 2024, spoke about the star's life and the lack of accountability in the music industry, and tributes were paid to Dolly Parton from her hometown in Tennessee following her death.
