Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham arrived in New York for the UN General Assembly and his first face-to-face meeting with President Donald Trump. He confirmed the UK would give Saudi Arabia limited military assistance as it fights Iran-backed Houthi rebels and seeks to protect the Strait of Hormuz. Reports said Burnham had had warm phone calls with Trump and would discuss Iran, AI safety and Ukraine, while inviting Trump to the G20 in Manchester next year despite past criticism. The UN meeting coverage also set out expectations around Trump's speech, a Trump-Zelensky meeting, European concerns about Russia and NATO, and AI.
CNN, MS Now and Politico said they would begin legal action after Trump banned their reporters from the White House for what he called fake news, and other US news organizations said they would not cover White House events in solidarity. Trump criticised those outlets, while the White House promoted its own online feed, called Trump TV. Earl Spencer's new book about Princess Diana was published, containing claims about King Charles and a funeral-arrangements row; Buckingham Palace said fraternal grief can color memory. There were reports Prince Harry was in talks to make a documentary about his mother for the 30th anniversary of her death, and Piers Morgan threatened to sue Earl Spencer over what he called fabricated inaccuracies.
A Sky News investigation reported that domestic abuse survivors said the family court system failed to take their allegations seriously and sent children to stay with potentially dangerous parents. It featured women describing secrecy, fear and feeling on trial, and a current case in which a woman was imprisoned for child abduction after taking her son to Northern Cyprus; it noted existing safeguarding referrals, a non-molestation order, new laws on wrongful retention and reforms aimed at stopping judges prioritising contact with both parents at all costs. The Liberal Democrats' autumn conference was wrapping up, with Sir Ed Davey saying there was no ceiling on the number of MPs he wanted the party to win at the next general election and discussion of how it appeals to younger voters and presents its future faces.

military support when it came to dealing with the Houthis and trying to keep the Strait of Hormuz protected.
