Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
A Ukrainian drone attack on the Taneco oil refinery in Nizhnekamsk, deep inside Russia, killed 12 people, with the death toll later rising to 13, and wounded dozens. A military analyst said Ukraine is targeting oil infrastructure to cut off funding for Russia's war effort. Separately, Sky News reported that 230 people arrived on a small boat overnight, a record number on a single vessel, while the government faces continued pressure over early releases including the killers of PC Andrew Harper, with Reform UK preparing to set out its prisons policy.
The European, Asian, and North American football confederations issued a joint letter criticising FIFA president Gianni Infantino over plans to sell a stake in the World Cup, calling it a profound lapse in judgement and a breach of trust. British couple Craig and Lindsay Foreman, jailed in Iran, ended a three-month hunger strike against their sentence. The Ministry of Defence said no sensitive data was compromised after cameras on Royal Navy drones were found to be sending communications to a device in China, and Thames Water came under scrutiny for giving its finance chief a £1 million sign-on fee despite financial struggles.
Suspected crime boss Daniel Kinahan was extradited from Dubai to Ireland and charged with directing organised crime, with Irish police hailing his return. Andy Burnham began a UK tour focused on cost of living concerns and high street revival, with a report from Wakefield highlighting local struggles and calls for redevelopment.

Charged quote Ukrainian drone strike kills seven at Russian beach resort
And I think the key thing also is that without intelligence, Western intelligence, some of these attacks wouldn't be very good either. So it's a fantastic opportunity for Ukraine to take the fight to Russia. But let's not lose sight of the fact that the grinding war of attrition on the ground is where Russia is still inching forward. So how can Ukraine actually shift the tide of the war in its favour?

Charged quote Ukrainian drone strike kills seven at Russian beach resort
It's all about actually seizing the initiative from your enemy. What's interesting is Russia, over the last few days, has been reporting Russia is using ballistic missiles to cause havoc in Ukraine, largely around Kiev. Because shooting these ballistic missiles down is actually very difficult to do.

Charged quote Four migrants die in English Channel crossing incidents
What that means on a very immediate level though is that these crossings become a lot more dangerous for the people on board. You have heard absolutely awful stories about people being crushed in the middle of these dinghies or being stuck right at the bottom of the dinghies and burnt if engine fuel spills out.

many more prisoners. He paused that, reviewed it and has exempted certain categories of prisoner from that, including people that were involved in grooming gangs. What sparked a lot of outrage though was that it would mean two of the killers of PC Andrew Harper, the police officer that of course was killed some six, seven years ago now, being released early.

Contested quote Government revises early release scheme after probation warning
actually if you are to try and make it apply to these two individuals you may end up having to keep in a lot of other people that were convicted of manslaughter as well. And the issue being that the whole point of this early release is to ease pressure on the prison system that is basically full, it's basically overflowing.

Charged quote Government revises early release scheme after probation warning
But can he push it any further if it means hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of more people being kept inside rather than released early? It is a very thorny, tricky political topic with a lot of emotion and importance attached to it as well. You get the sense in government that they are potentially trying to work on something but that the details haven't quite been ironed out yet.

Charged quote European federations seek to oust FIFA president Infantino
It treats this as a communication failure, when what football witnessed was a failure of judgement. There still has been no recognition that attempting to sell a stake in the FIFA World Cup was a profound lapse in judgement, not merely a procedural misstep, but a fundamental breach of trust with the very institutions FIFA exists to serve.

There still has been no recognition that attempting to sell a stake in the FIFA World Cup was a profound lapse in judgement, not merely a procedural misstep, but a fundamental breach of trust with the very institutions FIFA exists to serve. They go on to say there is silence where there should be accountability, distance where there should be transparency. These are not the qualities football deserves in its leadership.

Charged quote Daniel Kinahan extradited from Dubai to Ireland
A hit squad, some disguised as armed police, attacked the event with assault rifles, hunting for Daniel Kinahan. He escaped but one of his associates, David Byrne, was shot dead. It was the worst criminal outrage probably in criminal history in Ireland. People going around with Kalashnikovs trying to kill rival gang members

Charged quote Daniel Kinahan extradited from Dubai to Ireland
That was never seen at that level before. The hotel attack accelerated a feud with the rival Hutch gang, which left 18 people dead and paralysed parts of inner-city Dublin with fear. It was very much like out of a horror movie because it was frightening, there was armed guards on every street corner searching cars

As part of the tour, he'll be focusing on reviving high street retailers. But if he's going to be successful, he'll have to battle long-term shopping trends and some of the economic policies of his predecessor. Our correspondent, Charlotte Leeming, reports from Wakefield. Back in the 1980s, Wakefield's High Street was booming

Charged quote PM returns from break with renewed cost of living focus
says he wants to bring back hope to the high street and tackle the cost of living. Going on tour to meet people and hear their problems, he's hopeful, as he is. It's a real struggle. I mean, me and my wife work and we work 40 hours a week and you're still struggling to pay your bills then. So, yeah, I think people that are on minimum wage

Charged quote PM returns from break with renewed cost of living focus
There's all those shops in there, where they're going to go. Pulling the flats down at the back of it. No, it's not good enough, is it? Sofa store manager Mark Watson says high streets up and down the country desperately need support to survive, particularly with the rise in business costs and a reduction in footfall. I can say the high street isn't dead.
