The prime minister, Andy Burnham, told MPs he was not reopening the vote on Brexit and respected the 2016 referendum result, but said he would take a pragmatic approach to the EU and believed discussions on Britain's longer-term relationship were right. A UK-EU summit next month, he said, was a chance to agree a new deal to increase growth and tackle illegal immigration. The Conservative leader, Kemi Badenoch, accused him of trying to unpick the Brexit deal, while the report noted debate over Russian interference in the 2016 referendum and mixed views in Birmingham. The home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, announced an urgent review of security arrangements for high-profile public figures after the murder of Ann Widdecombe, and pointed to Iran-orchestrated attacks on the Jewish community in the UK. The prime minister said it was highly likely Iran was behind an alleged plot to attack RAF Fairford; the UK, US and 27 other countries issued a joint condemnation, the foreign secretary summoned the Iranian ambassador, and two individuals were sanctioned. Seven men had been questioned over the Fairford incident and released on bail.
An investigation was launched by Doncaster Council into the death of a man killed by a tiger after he entered its enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park. The man was not being named at his family's request, staff and family were receiving specialist support, and the park said the tiger would not be euthanised; a zoologist warned of future risk. Russell Brand appeared in court at the start of his trial for rape and sexual assault, facing allegations from six women between 1999 and 2009, which he denies. In other news, an inquest found three teenagers who died when a car plunged into the river Wear most likely drowned; the second man jailed for cutting down the Sycamore Gap tree was released; and a football fan was arrested after apparently mocking Middlesbrough supporters over the A66 crash. Citizens Advice warned homeowners about rogue roofer scams, saying suspected roofing scams were the biggest complaint it received, made up 10% of cons over the past year, around 9,000 incidents, and more than three quarters involved doorstep sales; people were urged to check traders and not be pressured.
Internationally, President Trump accused European countries of double standards after criticism of his decision to buy Russian diesel, pointing out that France, Belgium and the Netherlands still bought Russian natural gas. Ukraine's President Zelensky criticised the US move but welcomed Trump's announcement of an energy ceasefire, though there were no signs it was being honoured. Reports from Kyiv described continued attacks and life under threat, while in Kharkiv there were strikes hours after the ceasefire deal was announced and little optimism. Saudi Arabia's energy minister said there would be a serious response after Houthi attacks on Riyadh airport left 18 dead over the past week. Tributes were paid to Normandy veteran Henry Rice, who died aged 100. Giselle Pelicot told ITV News that online sites enabling sexual abuse were a plague and should be shut down, as she received a Woman of Courage award. Details were released of the prime minister's contacts with Manchester City while mayor of Greater Manchester, and a woman campaigned for a law change after police said they could not act when her ex-partner tracked her car once. Pope Leo was reported to be admitted to hospital after a lung nodule was found.

who has warned of any future behaviour of this tiger. I mean, tigers are inherently dangerous just because of what they are, but what they have now is a tiger who has killed someone. So if a keeper makes an error, which they shouldn't do if they follow all the protocols, then they're in a more dangerous position.
