Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Earl Spencer, Princess Diana's brother, has reiterated claims from his new book that King Charles, then Prince Charles, said "we'll forget her soon enough" about Diana in a phone call after her death. He insists he is telling the truth, describing the comments as monstrous. The book also alleges the late Queen asked "what is she up to now?" on first hearing of Diana's accident, and that Prince Philip insisted Spencer walk between Princes William and Harry at the funeral. Buckingham Palace offered no further comment, having previously said the King is mindful that fraternal grief can cloud memory.
President Donald Trump has banned CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from White House news conferences, accusing them of reporting "fiction and lies." He threatened further action against other outlets, including the New York Times and Washington Post. CNN responded that the ban would be an illegal assault on constitutionally protected press freedom, and the matter appears headed toward legal challenge. The discussion noted this as an escalation of Trump's attacks on critical media, potentially linked to upcoming midterm elections.
UK motor industry manufacturers have written to Prime Minister Andy Burnham and the chancellor, asking for help to switch from falling car production to making defence parts. They warn that without government support, tens of thousands of manufacturing jobs vital to the economy could be lost. The lead author argued that factories win wars and that automotive firms already produce components suitable for defence. The segment noted rising defence demand and a more dangerous global situation.
