Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of murdering her three children, ended in a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a unanimous verdict, with the jury split 11-1. The former nurse remains held in a psychiatric hospital. Reactions included comments from President Trump, the defence lawyer blaming one juror, and the district attorney citing abuse towards his team. Patrick Clancy's attorney said the loss is something from which he will never recover. In Nepal, nine days after catastrophic flooding, rescuers pulled two workers alive from a tunnel at a destroyed hydroelectric plant, though a subsequent recovery operation found a body. At least 1,300 people have died and thousands remain missing.
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said Argentina's threat over the Falkland Islands shows it is a weak country, linking the dispute to the Labour government's surrender of the Chagos Islands. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband and Defence Secretary Wes Streeting affirmed the UK's commitment to the Falklands. At Reform UK's conference in Birmingham, the party faced allegations of breaching donation rules after an undercover Channel 4 report, leading to the resignation of two officials. Nigel Farage denied wrongdoing, but the conference was disrupted by hecklers, and the party's poll ratings have fallen.
Other news included Cambridge University announcing an independent review into its actions following the death of Professor Jason Arday, the first funeral for a victim of the A66 crash, the UN General Assembly voting to endorse the Equal Earth map over the Mercator projection, and a parade celebrating the life of Dolly Parton. A report highlighted rising tooth decay among children, with over 56,000 extractions in England, and school programmes aiming to improve dental hygiene.

Charged quote Mistrial declared in Lindsay Clancy murder trial
Well, along with many people all around the world, one of the people watching the case closely is the president, Donald Trump. It's a shame. It's a horrible tragedy. It's a horrible tragedy. I see what's happened and it's, uh, looks like it's a hung jury and I think the judge just said it's going to be a mistrial. I assume there's going to be another trial.

Contested quote Mistrial declared in Lindsay Clancy murder trial
Well, outside of the courtroom, the defence lawyer Kevin Reddington blamed one juror for the impasse, saying that the other members of the jury had had their time wasted. They know that they were robbed by one man for whatever his agenda was who stole seven weeks of the life of these other jurors that were so attentive, so beautiful, so wonderful.

And I got a funny feeling that they would have gone on for another week if they had to. So I hope that guy can sleep well at night. Well, the district attorney, Tim Cruz, claims that his team had faced abuse just for doing their jobs. The way they were vilified and portrayed on social media is disgusting to me. Threats to them and their families, their addresses being posted.

Charged quote Aid reaches survivors a week after Nepal floods
This is tough work. It's also very hot here. The conditions are deeply inhospitable. Then word came from inside that the mission had changed. This was no longer a rescue. It had turned into a removal operation. The stretcher's being dragged up, and there is a body inside, wrapped in a canvas bag. This is not what people hoped. Now we're being moved off, we've got to go back.

I say, like, they are very lucky, and we should not leave our hope, because if they can survive more, we can recover more survivors. You think you can do it? Yes. A moment of triumph and a moment of despair in a region that has endured enormous suffering. But this nation won't give up on the missing. John Sparks, Sky News, in northern Nepal.
