Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Counter-terror police charged 28-year-old Joshua Kerry, from Rotherham, with one count of preparing acts of terror, including against Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, following authorisation from the Crown Prosecution Service. He is the same man charged in July with the murder of former MP Ann Widdecombe after she was found dead at her home in Dartmoor, and is due at Westminster Magistrates Court on Wednesday. Separately, two Iranian nationals, Salem Armanian and Rahman Salehi, were charged over a suspected terror plot against Jewish people in Manchester; they were arrested on 20 September, the eve of Yom Kippur. The Home Secretary said they arrived in the UK by small boat in 2020 and 2023, and described the news as distressing for Jewish communities, especially in Manchester.
G7 leaders agreed to release up to 100 million barrels of diesel and oil after pressure from Donald Trump, who had called for Europe to tap its stockpiles and threatened to stop US diesel exports before ruling that out. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband said the coordinated measure aimed to stabilise energy prices and protect households and businesses. The move came days after diesel prices hit two pounds per litre in the UK; the AA said filling an average family diesel car cost £110, about £32 more than at the beginning of the war in Iran. The UK imports 55% of its diesel, a fair chunk from the US, and it was not known how much the UK would release.
Buckingham Palace said King Charles will not apologise for slavery during his Caribbean visit later this year, though he will not shy away from discussing the legacy of Britain's colonial past and the transatlantic slave trade. The King is due to visit the Bahamas, Guyana and Antigua and attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting; campaigners said they felt energised. The palace acknowledged difficult discussions about the historic relationship between Britain and Caribbean countries, while the government's current advice is that there will be no apology and Britain will not pay reparations because slavery was not illegal at the time, and Jamaica has recently sought legal clarity on whether slavery was lawful. The Indian pilot Captain Smit Machar, attacked by his co-pilot in mid-air on a flight to Israel, spoke for the first time about fighting to open the cockpit door while injured, saying he could not let people die. The flight was carrying 182 people and diverted to Saudi Arabia for an emergency landing; the co-pilot's motivation has not been determined and investigators are examining whether he acted alone or as part of a wider plot, while the Israeli government praised the pilot and crew.

Contested quote G7 agrees emergency release of oil and diesel reserves
G7 leaders have agreed to release 100 million barrels of oil. The Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband, says it's a coordinated measure to stabilise energy prices and protect households and businesses.

Contested quote King Charles declines slavery apology during Caribbean visit
on the subject, which is what we want, a mature, open, honest conversation. There's a responsibility and obligation on the part of the British government to issue that apology and to engage in serious discussions about a programme for reparations. The King certainly hasn't avoided the issue. Arriving in Bermuda this year,

Charged quote King Charles declines slavery apology during Caribbean visit
and say, well, you've admitted responsibility, you've apologised. Now pay us for the wrongs that your great-great-great-grandfather, whoever it was, did. I think it's a legal game, actually, behind all of this. And I think it's... Obviously, slavery was the most appalling injustice, but going back ten generations or whatever it is, eight generations,

Charged quote King Charles declines slavery apology during Caribbean visit
to say that actually you're guilty because of something that your great-great-great-grandfather does, I mean, where does it end? It's a really dumb and bad road to go down. Yeah, and that's the debate, isn't it? Where do you stand? I think government lawyers are idiots, generally speaking, and they're giving absolutely dud advice to ministers and government

Contested quote Dubai-Tel Aviv flight makes Saudi emergency landing after pilot fight
Today, the whole country can proudly say that Indians are not those who take lives, but those who are willing to risk their lives to save others. His co-pilot's motivation has still not been determined. The flight was carrying 182 people, but was diverted to Saudi Arabia, where it made an emergency landing.

Charged quote Dubai-Tel Aviv flight makes Saudi emergency landing after pilot fight
it was a co-pilot, which is absolutely extraordinary because you've got to have training, I'm sure he'll have flown with a pilot before. And then how he suddenly turned and became essentially a terrorist is going to be a question that the Israeli secret service, Mossad, whoever, the government will be very, very...

Charged quote Dubai-Tel Aviv flight makes Saudi emergency landing after pilot fight
He was from Amman, I think. That's right, but they will be looking into this and thinking, how does a co-pilot in charge of a plane full of Israeli nationals suddenly essentially become a jihadist and a terrorist? I mean, it's a very serious question. Yeah, I mean, there is clearly a lapse in security somewhere there...
