Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The US Air Force removed all of its bombers from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire a week after a suspected terror plot targeting the base. Five UK nationals in their mid-20s were arrested close to the military site on suspicion of explosives and terrorism offences and were bailed, along with a sixth British-Iranian man. The base had been at the centre of some US strikes against targets in Iran, with the UK allowing it to be used for defensive measures only and not offensive targeting. The Pentagon said all US bombers deployed to RAF Fairford had redeployed to their home stations in the United States. Israel then banned Green Party leader Zack Polanski from entering the country after the party voted in favour of a motion describing Zionism as racism at its Brighton conference. The motion passed with 56 percent, and Israel accused the party of legitimizing terrorism; Foreign Minister Gideon Saar called the resolution a clear anti-Semitic text under the IHRA definition and said Polanski was barred as a first step. Polanski stayed away from the vote, amendments he put forward were defeated, and some Green MPs and members were uncomfortable with the wording.
At the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham, Kemi Badenoch insisted the party had changed since its 2024 election defeat, with a speech expected from shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith. The conference included debate over the triple lock on state pensions, which Badenoch has said she is committed to, after Andy Burnham said he wanted to adjust it to save money; former senior Tories and some members questioned whether it was sustainable, while the shadow cabinet said it was united. Griffith's plans were reported to include cutting the cost of a weekly shop, cutting the cost of buying new homes by fifty thousand pounds, cutting red tape, abolishing the Environment Agency and Natural England, and changing net-zero regulations. He was described as low tax, pro-deregulation and small state, and said he would make the numbers add up. Brazil's general election headed to a runoff between President Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of former president Jair Bolsonaro, after none of the 12 candidates won a clear majority; the two will face off again on 25 October in an election dominated by the cost of living, corruption and insecurity.
In South Georgia, two people were killed and nearly three dozen others injured after gunfire broke out at a homecoming block party, with more than 50 shots reportedly fired in two locations in the rural city of Vienna and more than a thousand people attending. In the US, Cornell University's president said he was deeply disturbed by the alleged rape of a student in 2024, and New York prosecutors reopened an investigation into allegations that a 20-year-old woman was drugged and raped by seven men who were members of the same fraternity; the report covered the Jane Doe campaign, a lawsuit filed in September involving fraternity group chat screenshots, misinformation, and Julio Lopes denying wrongdoing. A special report from North Carolina said the midterm elections were a month away and control of Congress was at stake. Republicans had pulled campaign spending in North Carolina while Democrats held a double-digit lead in the polls, with the campaign dominated by the cost of living. The report covered Democratic and Republican barbecues, candidates Michael Whatley and Roy Cooper, record-breaking campaign spending, changes to mail-in ballots and voter ID, and concerns that some votes would be discounted; it noted that Trump won the state by 180,000 votes in 2024 and that an estimated 1 million low-income voters did not turn out.
