Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
At the UN General Assembly, Andy Burnham called on world leaders to work together to control the threats posed by AI and fight Russian disinformation, and said he had asked UK security chiefs to start work on a new National Centre for Information Defence. He announced a new AI defence partnership with the United States to protect critical national infrastructure, called for global principles and standards, and said new laws could be brought forward if needed. Donald Trump rejected any globalist scheme to control AI and said the US would encourage super intelligence. A political correspondent said the visit had gone well for Burnham, with Trump saying they could do business together and that the UK relationship was better than under Starmer, though differences remained over the Chagos Islands and the Falklands. A science and technology report examined worries about rogue AI agents, accountability, and possible separate rules for AI model makers and AI agents.
On the UN sidelines, Volodymyr Zelensky said after meeting Trump that Trump wanted to end the war and would do everything to help, and that he was ready for a trilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin if Trump could facilitate it, adding that he would engage in an energy ceasefire if Russia stopped attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Andy Burnham described his first meeting with Trump as encouraging and excellent, with a good rapport, and Mark Stone noted that Xi Jinping and Trump were due to meet at the White House on Thursday. Itamar Ben-Gvir, a senior Israeli minister, told Britain to stop occupying the Falklands, saying it should return lands occupied from Argentina before lecturing Israel about occupation; Ben-Gvir also advocated voluntary migration of people from Gaza and Judea and Samaria ahead of Israel's election. Andy Burnham said the UK would stand firm and defend the rights of Falkland Islanders to self-determination and to remain British, after Argentina's president raised the Falklands at the UN General Assembly.
Piers Morgan told Sky News he still intended to sue Earl Spencer despite an apology over claims in his new book about Princess Diana; Earl Spencer admitted an error about Morgan being the Daily Mirror's editor when it published pictures of Diana taken without her consent, while Morgan disputed other accounts in the book. The Met Police warned of a huge rise in reports of vapes being spiked, particularly among young people starting university, and said offenders were using illegal drugs and everyday medicines such as antihistamines and travel sickness drugs, increasingly targeting victims in private settings like homes, parties and student accommodation, with specialist equipment now used to test suspected spiked vapes. Sting, launching the musical The Last Ship in the West End, commented on Ed Sheeran and political free speech on stage, saying there was a distinction between hate speech and legitimate political criticism, and said he was optimistic about Andy Burnham.
