Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The Israeli government banned a number of British officials and announced the closure of the UK consulate in Jerusalem, in response to the UK's announcement of sanctions on goods produced in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband introduced an import ban on settlement goods and sanctions on companies and individuals involved in settlement expansion, and accused settlers of carrying out ethnic cleansing. Israel's foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar described the UK's accusations as outrageous lies and said the measures were hostile.
A technical issue with the flight processing system used by air traffic control caused widespread disruption to UK flight departures. Flights were delayed or cancelled at airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, and others. The National Air Traffic Services said engineers were working to fix the problem, and the Transport Secretary apologised. Airlines reported significant impacts, with Ryanair saying over 65,000 passengers were affected.

Charged quote UK sanctions on Israeli settlements and Israel closes British consulate
produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank was trailed. But perhaps the response from Israel wasn't perhaps anticipated. No, this is an absolute nuclear level response from the Israeli government. And what has been a very turbulent day, and it's still only 6 p.m. here, a curious day because behind me is a huge celebration party that has been organised by the American embassy
