Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Storm Bulow brought strong winds, heavy rain and flooding to parts of the UK, especially Scotland and northern England. Nearly 60,000 homes in northern England were reported without power, the Met Office warned of a danger to life from flying debris and crashing waves, and Amber wind warnings covered much of Scotland, north-west England and parts of Northern Ireland. There were 32 flood warnings in Scotland and ten in England, with travel disruption including advice not to travel by train north of Preston and the closure of the A66 in both directions.
The Metropolitan Police was reducing enforcement of lower-level tag and curfew breaches amid resourcing pressures following the prisoner early release scheme. It said high-risk and persistent offenders would remain priorities, while lower-level breaches of under an hour would not be investigated in the same way. In France, almost 1,000 people were arrested during nationwide demonstrations over the cost of living and the state of schools, with more than 400,000 taking part; clashes between police and protesters occurred in cities including Marseille, where there were arrests, looting and fires.
Voters in Israel were due to go to the polls on Tuesday in the first election since the October 7 attacks in 2023 and the subsequent conflicts in Gaza and with Iran and Hezbollah. The report examined the influence of Palestinian citizens, who account for one in six voters, and whether their votes could translate into political influence. The Joint List hoped to win 10 seats, its leader suggested openness to an unprecedented deal to keep Benjamin Netanyahu out of power, and Ram's first Jewish candidate said he hoped to act as a bridge and help the party find a place in a coalition.

bringing flooding, power outages and travel disruption. Nearly 60,000 homes are without power this morning across northern England. And a danger to life warning is in place for flying debris and crashing waves. And the Met Office is urging people to stay indoors as much as possible. So these pictures show the scene in Saltcoats, a coastal town in Ayrshire,

SP Electricity Northwest have confirmed at least 57,000 homes are now without power.

So yes, lots going on and then more wet and windy weather expected early next week, so we're not out of the woods yet. No, indeed. Thanks for filling us in on that rather grim picture. Thank you, Jo.

Contested quote Mass French protests over cost of living turn violent
I think the government will be pretty happy with the way things went. In fact, the interior minister, like the home secretary in France, Laurent Nunez said the marches went well yesterday, which is a bit strange when you consider that the police and the gendarmes, the military police were clashing with protesters in locations

Charged quote Mass French protests over cost of living turn violent
Turned out the municipality said 17,000. So a huge discrepancy there. I'd say the number was somewhere in between. And then we watched it descend into violence. There was a battle for a ceremonial square in the center of the city. We watched young men emerge, men that I didn't see during the actual demonstration itself,

have suffered from underinvestment and police indifference. He blames Netanyahu and far-right ministers like Itamar Ben-Gvir. The current government is extremist. It puts pressure on Arab Palestinians and pressures them everywhere. It's as though there is a competition within the Israeli government over who can harm us the most.

Charged quote Israel holds national election as first-time voters shift right
The current government is extremist. It puts pressure on Arab Palestinians and pressures them everywhere. It's as though there is a competition within the Israeli government over who can harm us the most. And whoever harms us the most, like Ben-Gvir, will win more votes from the Jewish community. I am outside that game.

Charged quote Israel holds national election as first-time voters shift right
I make it very clear, we cannot be part of a coalition that will continue to attack our people in Gaza, that would continue basically to support the terrorist Jewish settlers in their attacks against our Palestinian people in the West Bank. But there are different approaches. This is Yoav Segalovitz, an Israeli who made his name
