Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The broadcast led with the aftermath of flash floods in Nepal and Tibet, with more than 660 dead, nearly 3,000 still missing, and 33 British nationals unaccounted for four days on. Aid deliveries have begun, but heavy rain and damaged infrastructure are hampering efforts, and Nepal has appealed for international assistance.
More than 30 bereaved families have written to the Justice Secretary demanding that all forms of manslaughter be excluded from the government's early prison release scheme, arguing that distinctions between murder and manslaughter are irrelevant to victims. This follows cases such as that of Valdo Calocane and public pressure over the killers of PC Andrew Harper. Separately, at Middlesbrough, supporters paid tribute to two police officers killed in a crash last Saturday.
Leading doctors have agreed the world's first universal definition of a heart attack, which uses sex-specific blood test thresholds and is intended to improve diagnosis in women. In other news, a man was killed by a falling sign at a Christian festival, Sir James Cleverly resigned from the Shadow Cabinet to run for Mayor of London, Sarah Ferguson is reportedly moving back to the UK, and Norway began a national period of mourning following the death of King Harald V.

Contested quote Families demand all manslaughter convictions be excluded from early release scheme
What would it do to a family if their loved one's killer was released? It's so distasteful. It's so disrespectful in every way. You cannot and you must not make us victims on top of what we've lost already. Calocane can only be released by doctors, but Emma Webber has now joined other bereaved families,

Charged quote Liverpool draw 2-2 with Nottingham Forest
Incredible save from Alisson. Glasner could barely believe it. And what might have been 2-0, Forest was back to 1-1. Alexander Isak had a miserable first season at Liverpool but under the new boss this will have done his confidence the world of good. Back came Forest and a chance to win it. Alisson gave away a penalty and Morgan Gibbs-White made it 2-1.
