Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Ukraine accused Russia of striking power plants hours after Donald Trump claimed both sides had agreed an energy ceasefire. Moscow had not responded to Trump's claim, while President Zelensky said the agreement was news to him but he would agree if Russia did. Trump posted that there was an immediate energy ceasefire and warned not to break it. Zelensky had floated an election if there was a broad enough ceasefire and spent the weekend consulting European allies. Strikes continued in Kyiv, and the broadcast noted a previous energy ceasefire announced in March last year lasted only days, with three weeks until US midterm elections and Trump needing progress on fuel prices. The broadcast also reported that drug smuggling is surging in Kurdistan, fuelled by European demand and war in the Middle East, and joined a Kurdish security patrol. Authorities showed seizures including amphetamine and crystal meth, with canisters worth two million dollars destined for the UK, and described drugs hidden in waistcoats, toys and framed pictures. A jailed Iranian smuggler said he acted out of desperation and regretted it.
Manchester City faced a hostile reception at Anfield in their first game since being found guilty of financial breaches, with the club denying wrongdoing and awaiting an appeal, before winning to make it six wins out of six. Liverpool fans taunted them over the guilty charges, while some City fans were defiant. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he would publish details of his dealings with Manchester City following pressure from the Conservatives over his relationship with the club during his time as Manchester mayor. He said the football issues were serious and separate from investment issues.
At least 139 people, including children, died when an overcrowded migrant boat capsized off Djibouti, and more than 80 remained missing across the Red Sea to Yemen. Pope Leo left the Vatican for Rome's Gemelli Hospital for surgery on a growth on his lung, with recovery likely to take a week. Powerful waves after Tropical Storm Rachel damaged a century-old boardwalk and homes in Southern California, an area already recovering from Hurricane Marie. Russell Brand was due in court for the start of his trial over rape and sexual assault charges relating to six women between 1999 and 2009, which he denies, in a trial potentially lasting up to 12 weeks. Saudi Arabia's Riyadh airport was hit by a second deadly missile attack in as many days, killing one person and injuring 11, after an earlier strike killed 13 and injured more than 300. Trump said he was weighing whether to join retaliatory strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, the Houthis warned people not to use Saudi airports or airspace, EU ministers were to discuss the conflict, and foreign secretary Ed Miliband said he was appalled. Yorkshire Wildlife Park was expected to reopen after a man was killed by a tiger when he entered the enclosure on Saturday; police said he died at the scene, and the Amur tiger Altai was uninjured and would not be put down. A leading economic think tank warned the Chancellor risked delivering a work of fiction in the autumn budget without a plan to fill a potential £35 billion hole in government spending, suggesting tax rises or public spending cuts could be needed.

Contested quote Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian oil refineries after truce
He spent the weekend consulting European allies on two things. Trump's deal to buy fuel from Russia and Trump telling him that he's the problem and should quit. I think it's time for Ukraine to get a new president. Strikes have continued in Kyiv. Notably Ukraine doesn't appear to have targeted Russian refineries but we've been here before.

Charged quote Manchester City win first match after financial breach verdict
These Liverpool fans were calling for them to be thrown out for cheating financial rules. They shouldn't be playing here today, they should be playing in the Conference League, because they've ripped Liverpool off of three titles.

Charged quote Andy Burnham to publish Manchester City owners dealings
He credited them with being a huge partner in the building of modern Manchester. Now it was an intervention that got so much criticism and really you can argue that it was Andy Burnham's biggest misstep since walking into Downing Street. It forced the press team there to issue a number of clarifications to really stress

Charged quote Andy Burnham to publish Manchester City owners dealings
And it's now very clear that the owners of Manchester City had a great deal to do with that. So he is very clear there to create the distance between investment in the city and the club. But it is certainly an intervention that's put him in quite a bit of hot water. Live in Westminster. Lucy, thank you so much.

Contested quote IFS warns Chancellor faces £35bn Budget gap without credible plan
They say debt interest, that is going to knock quite a lot off that, £12 billion off that, because of all that extra money spent on debt interest. That goes down to £12 billion, kind of out of safe territory, towards the danger line. And then on top of that, because you've got higher inflation potentially,
