Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The government announced it is spending £110 million from existing budgets to create hundreds more prison cells by converting unused spaces, as part of a wider plan to create 14,000 spaces by 2031. The early release scheme, now excluding rapists, serious child sex offenders, and grooming gang offenders, will release about 4,500 prisoners from October, with GPS tags and new restriction zones. Domestic abusers remain eligible, causing concern among campaigners, while the prison estate remains at 97 percent capacity.
In Nepal, devastating floods triggered by a glacial landslide left around 950 confirmed dead, nearly 24,000 missing, and hundreds trapped in tunnels, with the village of Trishuli obliterated. China, affected on its Tibet side, has censored videos of the flood and restricted access, stating its information releases are open and transparent. Separately, former LA gang leader Dwayne Davis was found guilty of first-degree murder in the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, based largely on his own admissions in an autobiography and police interview.
Other news included a memorial service for two men killed in a synagogue attack in Heaton Park, Donald Trump vowing retaliation against Iran after strikes on US bases, a Dolly Parton festival announced, and the Met police reporting 560 arrests at Notting Hill Carnival with reduced serious violence. In Germany, the far-right AfD's Ulrich Siegmund, described as the most dangerous man in Germany, is on course to lead the party in Saxony-Anhalt state elections, drawing large crowds at a rally.
