Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Police in Nottingham are searching for a man and a woman after a police officer was shot and wounded in the city centre early in the morning. The officer was shot in the foot as he approached the two people on Angel Row before 5am, a firearm was seized and a cordon was put in place, and Nottinghamshire Police appealed for information. A police commentator said the investigation would examine body-worn video and CCTV and try to trace the suspects' route.
Cities across France saw widespread disorder, with an estimated half a million protesters taking part and more than 1,200 arrests. In Limoges a historic town hall was set on fire and its clock tower collapsed, while in Paris police used water cannon and tear gas and there were clashes and damage in Lyon, Lille and Marseille. A Canadian military base near Wainwright in Alberta also had a major incident and fire, with deaths and serious injuries; an Edmonton doctor said hospitals were overwhelmed and Canada's defence minister said the situation was active and delicate.
The health secretary told Sky News that NHS staff who inappropriately accessed the medical records of a man killed by a tiger at Yorkshire Wildlife Park should be sacked, after the ambulance trust said two people had accessed or tried to access the information without a legitimate reason. She also announced a £140 million boost for urgent care amid warnings of a challenging winter and concern about an early flu season. Later reports included a truck driving through a children's football match in Wichita, Kansas, killing a six-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man, protests in Tirana, an investigation into an attack on European diplomats in the occupied West Bank, and President Trump standing by a decision to pause sanctions against Russia despite Ukrainian opposition.
