The lead story was a legal ruling that search warrants used to raid Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's homes at Windsor and Sandringham in February were unlawful. A judge found the warrants had not properly considered whether material was confidential or legally privileged, throwing doubt on evidence gathered by Thames Valley Police. Police have begun proceedings to have the warrants reissued, while the investigation continues into whether Mountbatten-Windsor shared sensitive trade information with Jeffrey Epstein; he denies wrongdoing. The ruling was described as the first time a member of the royal family had challenged the lawfulness of criminal proceedings since the trial of Charles I.

In Ukraine, a Russian glide bomb attack on a bus stop in Kramatorsk killed 30 people, while an earlier strike on Pryluky killed 22, including five children. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband visited with President Zelensky and promised Britain would stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes, saying he had seen evidence of war crimes. Zelensky stressed Ukraine's need for more air defence support. In the UK, two Latvian men were arrested inside the perimeter at RAF Molesworth in Cambridgeshire after a vehicle and a cut fence were found; police were not linking the incident to arrests at RAF Fairford last week. A Royal Navy rating, Teddy Young, appeared in court charged under the National Security Act with plotting to leak top secret information to Russia, and will next appear at the Old Bailey.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham visited Berlin, where he and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz confirmed defence and security partnerships and discussed closer UK-EU relations, with Merz saying Germany would do what it could to bring the UK closer to Europe. The Kensington treaty was ratified, and further talks were expected at an EU summit next month. Polls closed in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, where Green leader Zack Polanski refused to answer questions about a Green Party vote declaring Zionism a form of racism, while Labour candidate Sagal Abdiwali was reported to be confident. Microsoft president Brad Smith called for stronger AI regulation, including independent testing, mandatory reporting and an emergency brake, saying AI was not an existential threat today but should be addressed now. Tributes were paid to Margaret Hamilton, the NASA software pioneer whose work helped the Apollo moon missions, who has died aged 90.
