Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
A ferry capsized off northern Cyprus, leaving at least eight people dead and 18 missing. The vessel had left Kyrenia for the Turkish port of Taşucu when it began taking on water and sank completely. Search-and-rescue operations continued in difficult conditions, with the ship resting at a depth of about 500 metres. The captain and crew were detained, and an investigation into the cause was underway, with possible factors including bad weather and the vessel's design.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced changes to the prisoner early release scheme, blocking the early release of grooming gang perpetrators and killers, including those responsible for PC Andrew Harper's death, following a campaign by his family. The change means around a thousand prisoners will now stay in jail longer. However, the domestic abuse commissioner expressed concern that many abusers would still be eligible for early release, and survivors of domestic violence said they remained worried about reoffending.
Catastrophic flash flooding in Nepal and Tibet has killed more than 800 people, with over 3,000 still missing, including 48 British nationals. Rescue crews faced challenging weather and rising water levels, and warnings of further floods came as Chinese authorities reported increased water flow in the Bhote Koshi River. Among the devastation, a woman was rescued from a rooftop that withstood the waters, saying she had been given a second chance at life. The UK's Nepalese community gathered in London to raise funds and support for those affected.
