Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
On his world tour in Philadelphia, Ed Sheeran addressed the controversy surrounding his performances, describing the October 7th attack on Israel as horrific and the situation in Gaza as catastrophic, unjustifiable, and disproportionate, while admitting he had made mistakes. This follows rapper Macklemore being removed from a tour date after expressing pro-Palestine views, with Sheeran's support act pulling out in protest. Separately, Earl Spencer has accused King Charles of gaslighting him, reiterating claims from his memoir, including an alleged remark after Diana's death that "we'll forget her soon enough." Buckingham Palace had previously responded that grief can cloud reason and color memory.
Russian authorities reported that Ukraine launched its largest ever drone attack on Moscow and the surrounding region overnight, damaging a major oil refinery and killing at least two people, according to Moscow's mayor, who accused Kiev of attempting to disrupt parliamentary elections this weekend. US President Donald Trump announced he will form an AI force, expressing unwavering support for the technology and insisting further controls are not needed, following warnings from industry leaders about potential dangers.
