Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state visit and state dinner in Washington. The leaders discussed AI, trade and Taiwan, but no firm agreements or breakthroughs were announced. Trump said the two had a truly great friendship built on mutual respect, while Xi said the countries should coexist in peace and would gain from cooperation and lose in confrontation. Trump posted that AI should be left as it is, and Xi said both nations share a responsibility to ensure it remains under human control. A media access dispute meant the TV pool was absent for some moments before credentials were restored by a judge, and Xi confirmed two giant pandas would be sent to Atlanta Zoo.
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband told Iran's foreign minister at the UN General Assembly in New York that Britain would not tolerate intimidation, threats or hostile activity on UK soil. The meeting followed the UK government's proscription of the IRGC as a threat to national security, and Miliband reiterated resolve to combat threats from Iranian-backed groups after attacks linked to the Jewish community, including an arson attack on ambulances in Golders Green. They also discussed the Middle East conflict's impact on the UK, reopening the Strait of Hormuz and fuel prices, and the case of detained British couple Craig and Lindsay Foreman. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, also in the US for the UN General Assembly, told Fox News that a lack of coordination in the Middle East was causing issues with America and was questioned about enriched uranium and arming Hezbollah and the Houthis. A Sky News exclusive poll found 35% of Brits think nuclear war is likely within 30 years, with 70% of those believing it would involve the UK; it also covered support for nuclear retaliation, compulsory military service and emergency preparedness, with 54% saying they would run out of supplies within three days. President Donald Trump said he was considering banning US diesel exports, which energy bosses condemned as likely to push prices up; an analysis said the UK could be significantly affected because it depends on imported diesel and has only 42 days of import stockpiles.
The first tickets for Oasis's tour next year were due to go on sale, with fans checking emails for unique codes and time slots. The band imposed resale restrictions, saying tickets sold in breach of terms could be cancelled and should only be resold at face value via Ticketmaster or Twickets, but secondary sites were already advertising that they would have tickets. Viagogo said it had no actual tickets listed ahead of the sale, only empty event listings, and that speculative listings are removed and accounts can be suspended; StubHub did not respond to a request for comment. Labour has promised to make reselling tickets above face value illegal, but the measures appeared as a draft bill in the King's Speech and are still waiting to become law. Also, more than 20,000 Glasgow council workers will be fired and rehired on new contracts after pay talks broke down, all non-teaching staff starting New Year's Day; Hampshire Police charged Daniel Thomas, known as Danny Tommo, with criminal damage and failing to disclose a smartphone security code over an alleged boat slashing in the English Channel, and he was remanded in custody; and a new study linked A&E overcrowding to hundreds of extra deaths each week, finding a 1% rise in a patient's risk of dying in the following four weeks for every 10% increase in emergency department occupancy.
