Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The chief constable of Greater Manchester Police, Stephen Watson, apologized for failing to search the phone of Manchester synagogue attacker Jihad al-Shaami when he was arrested prior to the attack last October, calling it a missed opportunity. Separately, al-Shaami's friend Mohammed Bashir was jailed for life with a minimum term of 17 years for planning a separate terror attack on the UK Defence Academy in Oxfordshire, with the judge describing the pair as planning an atrocity for religious and political reasons.
Chancellor John Healy pledged to back British businesses, while Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced a 20% cut in business rates for pubs, clubs, and live venues from April next year, funded by reviewing reliefs on anti-social businesses and a crackdown on online marketplace tax avoidance. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticized the plans as too small and accused Burnham of behaving like a mayor rather than a prime minister. A group of 120 UK-based millionaires, including Gary Lineker and Brian Eno, urged the government to introduce a 2% wealth tax on assets above £10 million. In Essex, a teenage girl and a woman in her 40s died after getting into difficulty in the water off West Mersea, with three others hospitalized. A special report from Greenland examined how melting ice sheets could slow the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, potentially leading to winter temperatures as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius in the UK.
