Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced a series of measures targeting Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including import bans and sanctions on those financing or facilitating construction, while accusing settlers of ethnic cleansing and the Israeli government of turning a blind eye. Israel responded by ordering the closure of the British consulate in East Jerusalem, banning 12 Westminster MPs from entering the country, and expelling British staff from a Gaza coordination centre. The chief rabbi called it a dark day for British Jews, while political commentators noted the policy shift and its domestic implications, and the prime minister wrote in the Guardian defending the change in approach.
A separate technical issue with air traffic control forced the grounding of flights across the UK, leading to hundreds of cancellations and delays at airports including Heathrow, Manchester, and Edinburgh. NATS apologised unreservedly, but airlines, including Wizz Air, expressed anger and called for urgent reform, citing a similar incident in 2023 that cost carriers £100 million. Separately, Prince George arrived at Eton College for his first day as a boarder, following in the footsteps of his father and uncle, while a letter from the Lord Chamberlain restated that Prince Harry and Meghan remain non-working royals and cannot use the HRH style, a communication that reportedly landed badly with Harry's office.

So you can see just what an impact this has. And there has been an unreserved apology from Nats' chief executive, Martin Rolfe. This is what he told Sky News. We absolutely take responsibility for this. We never want this sort of thing to happen. I completely understand how frustrating it is for passengers. Nobody ever wants to be disrupted,

So we completely appreciate that and we unreservedly apologize. That technical issue took a while. It took longer than we would normally have liked for it to get resolved. These things are relatively rare. And we resolved it to get back to our systems operating normally. But of course, there's a huge amount of disruption

Contested quote Prince George begins Eton education amid royal family tensions
he will be growing up and educated within a very elite circle here. It is an elite institution. He will have very little, if any, experience of what life is like for real people.

and without having to go to Eton, which is, you know, a strange institution in and of itself. Good on him, good luck to him. I wish him all the best, but it is a complete other world. Then again, he is going to be the king, so it only makes sense that he moves in elite circles. And his father went there,
