Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The broadcast led with Ukraine, where despite President Trump's announcement of an energy ceasefire, Russia carried out further strikes. Emma reported from Kharkiv on multiple explosions, residential areas hit, significant injuries and missing people, and a lack of air defence and interceptors. In Kyiv she described daily attacks, people sheltering in the metro, unexploded missile remnants on a children's playground, and a yacht club strike that injured seven. Dan in Washington said the ceasefire appeared to mean little, with President Zelensky surprised by it and Russia's foreign minister saying Ukraine did not deserve respite. Trump later said the war must end and suggested President Putin was ready for a deal while Zelensky was not, with the US midterm elections and diesel prices as context.
The broadcast then reported on Andy Burnham's return to Commons business and UK-EU relations. He ruled out joining the single market and customs union but called for a pragmatic approach and a serious dialogue after a UK-EU summit in November. He also said there had been Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum, later clarifying that he still considered the result legitimate, prompting criticism from the Conservatives. Next, Saudi Arabia warned of a serious response after Houthi missile attacks on its airports and oil and gas plants, which killed and injured people, and Iran offered to mediate. The government said the suspected plot against RAF Fairford was almost certainly directed by Iran's Revolutionary Guard, would impose further sanctions, and summoned the Iranian ambassador, who denied involvement.
Gisèle Pelicot gave an exclusive interview after receiving a Women of Courage award, saying action was needed to take down websites enabling abuse and that the award was for all women victims of sexual violence. An expedition arrived at Nikumaroro atoll to investigate whether Amelia Earhart's plane wreckage is there. The death was announced of Henry Rice, a Normandy landings veteran who survived a German torpedo at Juno Beach, was decorated by France, and lived to 100.

They are trying to survive this absolutely horrific bombardment. When you hear politicians talk about energy ceasefires, about all those things, bear in mind that the reality for people living in this city, across this country, are explosions like that, children trying to go to bed, go to sleep. There is no doubt many people will have been killed here tonight.

This time, the onslaught seems to have intensified even more relentlessly following President Trump's deal to buy Russian diesel. The deal not only represented a propaganda coup for Vladimir Putin, it also helps prop up the Kremlin's war effort financially. As we said, Emma was in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, across the weekend, where she experienced
