Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Andy Burnham made his first statement to the Commons as prime minister, promising the biggest redistribution of power in the country's history, more council houses, skills training, and control over water and energy industries. His predecessor Keir Starmer announced he was stepping down as MP for Holborn and St. Pancras, triggering a potentially tricky by-election. The cost of government borrowing rose, with 10-year gilt yields hitting 5.25%, the highest since 2008, and Lord Jim O'Neill, a close economic advisor, said Burnham's speech was the last thing investors wanted to hear. Kemi Badenoch, the leader of the opposition, said the job was not as easy as it looks and that Labour MPs had not explained why they got rid of Starmer.
Germany formally blamed Russia for a drone attack on a Ukrainian cargo plane at Leipzig Airport in August, saying it used techniques seen in Ukraine, and announced closures of Russian governmental organisations and intelligence-based sanctions. President Putin, when asked if the UK could be targeted for its support of Ukraine, replied that it was a military secret. The report also noted previous hybrid attacks across Europe, including in Poland, Sweden, and the UK, and concerns about defence spending. Separately, US missiles hit targets in Iran, with President Trump threatening much worse if Iran retaliated; Iran claimed to have targeted a US base in Jordan. In Nepal, the search continued for hundreds missing after floods, with 900 missing and 500 believed trapped in tunnels under hydroelectric plants; rescue teams were forced to withdraw as hopes faded.
A jury in Las Vegas found Duane Davis guilty of first-degree murder for organising the 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur, the first conviction in the case. The Met Office confirmed that summer 2026 was the warmest on record, with an average temperature of 16.5 degrees Celsius, and cider apple growers in Somerset reported significantly smaller fruit due to drought, prompting some to research irrigation and new varieties for a changing climate.

And so on Andy Burnham's first day in the Commons as Prime Minister, Keir Starmer decided this was just the moment to announce he was stepping down as an MP, triggering a potentially tricky by-election and overshadowing a speech full of promises. This is politics done differently. Problem solving over point scoring.

Charged quote PM hosts Macron for Downing Street talks
But the headwinds build, interest rates on government debt spiked again today in a manner that has a lot of economists worried.

Charged quote PM hosts Macron for Downing Street talks
Have you ever seen them this small? At this stage now, not really, no. This is ITV News at 10 with Tom Bradby. Good evening. It is fair to say Andy Burnham's honeymoon ended rather abruptly today as he appeared in the House of Commons for the first time as prime minister. To begin with, his predecessor, Keir Starmer,

decided today, of all days, was the moment to announce that he was stepping down as an MP. It was another U-turn from Keir who'd said once he would stick it out until the general election. It means a potentially tricky by-election and a seat that the Greens could feasibly win. Then, as Mr. Burnham prepared

Charged quote Germany accuses Russia of drone attack on Leipzig Airport
four weeks ago on Leipzig Airport, which is a hub for shipments to Ukraine. Germany's foreign minister said his country was not at war but added, we are a daily target.

Charged quote Germany accuses Russia of drone attack on Leipzig Airport
People feel the waters separate us and make us safe, they don't. And my concern is there are too many examples of hybrid attacks on our country, and we're not safe, we're not being protected, and the government, unfortunately, are not putting their back into it by raising defence spending. I think this is a massive weakness on our part.

we're not being protected, and the government, unfortunately, are not putting their back into it by raising defence spending. I think this is a massive weakness on our part. The attack in Leipzig failed to do significant damage, but it stands as a warning as to the vulnerabilities of nations far from Ukraine's front line.

he said, well, that's a military secret. He certainly wasn't denying that was possible. And I think many would think that it entirely is possible. And it's a matter of when, not if, and that's why there is this real sense that there ought to be a greater preparedness within the population and a greater spending on defence

that there ought to be a greater preparedness within the population and a greater spending on defence to try and protect the UK. I mean, we don't even have air defences. That's a very significant thing. There was reports of an attempted attack by drone on GCHQ. And there was no way to properly defend from it.

well, he's just been talking this evening and he's saying, that's not on us. That's something that the Germans have planted, but that is a very traditionally Putin-esque response to these things. And I think that there is a real sense amongst a great many people in Europe, in NATO communities and here,

and future security of many countries. Okay, sobering stuff. Thank you, Emma, very much indeed. Now from the fallout from Russia's war on Ukraine to that other unending conflict between the United States and Iran, US missiles hit targets in Iran tonight, with President Trump threatening something much worse if Iran retaliated.

Charged quote US strikes Iranian oil tankers, Iran threatens retaliation
of the US sort of saying it's effectively switching to a sort of economic pressure on Iran, we seem to be heading back towards military pressure and quite an alarming increase in tempo of that military pressure. So we had confirmation earlier from the president himself that the US was again hitting Iran significantly tonight.
