Broadcast overview

An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.

Police investigating the head-on crash on Teesside that killed seven people, including two officers, have arrested 12 people on suspicion of offenses including organized crime. The fundraiser for the families of PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough has passed 700,000 pounds, and the chair of the Cleveland Police Federation described them as the embodiment of policing. CCTV analysis shows the pursued Passat traveling at high speeds, and police said there is no evidence the occupants were filming for TikTok, though the case has prompted Andy Burnham to criticize social media companies for hosting such material.

Andy Burnham made his first foreign trip as prime minister to Kyiv for Ukraine's Independence Day events. He praised Ukraine and confirmed the UK is handing over blueprints for a long-range missile, the Storm Shadow, to allow Ukraine to produce its own. Moscow said the UK is participating in the war, while Burnham said Ukraine is Europe's protector. The UK will receive access to Ukraine's AI technology, and France has authorized Ukraine to make its own interceptors, though the UK will not do the same.

The United States announced new sanctions targeting Iran, described as Economic D-Day, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying countries must choose between prosperity and isolation. The sanctions would target any nation trading with Tehran, but the correspondent noted Iran is already heavily sanctioned and China is a key factor, with no immediate action taken. Iran said secondary sanctions would be an act of war.

    Contested quote Burnham to ask Trump for Patriot missiles after Kyiv visit

    He brought with him the promise to let Ukraine build its own storm shadow missiles, provoking predictably Russia's anger. Britain is participating in this war on the side of the Kiev regime.
