Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The Home Secretary ordered an independent review into the murder of 18-year-old student Henry Novak, who was stabbed to death as he walked home in Southampton. The review, chaired by former Conservative Lord Chancellor Alex Chalk, will examine whether opportunities to prevent the killing by Vikram Digwa were missed and how the Novak family were treated afterwards; it will report in two phases, with the first in March. The family welcomed it as a significant moment, while body-cam footage showed Henry was handcuffed and arrested despite having been fatally stabbed. The Independent Office for Police Conduct is already investigating the police response, and Hampshire police said they welcomed the review.
Thousands of homes remained without power after Storm Bulow, with flood warnings and a fresh weather warning for southwest Scotland and other areas; two men were killed by falling trees, including Richard Baines, curator of Logan Botanic Garden. Senior doctors in England announced a two-day strike on 25 and 26 November in a dispute over pay and working conditions, with the BMA citing a real-terms pay fall and seeking shorter working hours, while the government said the demands could cost more than £2 billion. Two men were jailed for killing a mother and her four-year-old daughter while racing high-performance cars in Leeds; an Albanian fisherman admitted skippering a yacht used to smuggle 16 men and a boy into the UK; and Philippines police displayed alleged evidence in relation to claims against Thomas Markle Sr, which he has denied.
Chris Brown was given a suspended prison sentence after admitting attacking a man with a tequila bottle in a Mayfair nightclub, with the judge saying his fame did not entitle him to special treatment. Downing Street clarified the Prime Minister's stance on future EU ties after he appeared to leave open a potential referendum on freedom of movement, and said he would set out options at a summit in November. A cruise ship collided with two container ships in northwest Germany; Phuket in Thailand was hit by floods; and a Swiss woman being treated for Ebola in Nigeria was evacuated to Zurich. London's Oxford Street became vehicle-free along a stretch, the Home Secretary criticised author Sally Rooney over donations to Palestine Action, actor Walter Koenig died aged 90, and the programme reported the growing popularity of tribute acts.
