Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The broadcast opened with questions over how hundreds of masked protesters shut down the port of Dover, with Kent police making no arrests. The local MP criticised the policing, and the government condemned the protest. Nigel Farage then closed the Reform party conference, acknowledging the party would sometimes make mistakes, but denied wrongdoing over donation allegations following a sting by Channel 4 News.
US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Vladimir Putin in Moscow for over three hours, then headed to Kyiv for talks with Volodymyr Zelensky, with a mutual three-day ceasefire in place. In the West Bank, US ambassador Mike Huckabee visited a village of Palestinian Americans, condemned settler violence but used the term Judea and Samaria, and residents expressed fear. In Germany, voters in Saxony-Anhalt went to the polls, with the far-right AfD potentially winning an outright majority.
President Trump was expected to visit his golf resort in Doonbeg, Ireland, for the Irish Open, with mixed local feelings. The King and Queen arrived at Royal Deeside for the Braemar Gathering, and Prince William was to attend the funeral of King Harald of Norway. Other news included dramatic rescues in Nepal after flash flooding, a fatal jet crash at a Greek air show, attacks on Iranian oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, and an explosion at a Bolivian military base. The broadcast also reported that nearly 56,000 children with special educational needs are expected to miss school.
