The broadcast led with Storm Vullo, which left tens of thousands of homes without power across northern England and Scotland. The Met Office issued a danger-to-life warning over flying debris and crashing waves, and flooding submerged Largs on Scotland's west coast, ruined high-street businesses and also covered roads in Saltcoats. Scotland had 17 flood warnings and 11 alerts, England had 11 places where flooding was expected and 55 where it was possible, and an amber wind warning remained until 9pm with gusts of 60 to 70mph and some coastal gusts over 80mph. There was travel disruption at Birmingham Airport and on ferries and trains, while a meteorologist said gusts reached 84mph and more wet and windy weather was expected before drier conditions later next week.

The broadcast reported that the Duchess of Sussex sent a letter to her father banning him from seeing his grandchildren after allegations he possessed child sex abuse images; Thomas Markle denied the allegations and was recuperating in Florida. It said Meghan was angry that the Met Police did not pass details of the claims to US law enforcement, while the Met said it received a 2019 letter and passed it to the Duke and Duchess's office but not overseas agencies, and Philippine officials said they were looking into the allegations with possible FBI support. The Prime Minister then called for an honest discussion about free movement rules with the EU; Angela Rayner said there should be a conversation but the manifesto was not changing, Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith opposed a return to open borders, and the political correspondent noted Labour's manifesto ruled out returning to the single market, customs union or freedom of movement.

Brazilians voted in a closely fought presidential election, with 80-year-old President Lula da Silva hoping to win a fourth term and far-right Senator Flavio Bolsonaro also voting. Marine Le Pen then addressed supporters in Orléans, after the broadcast said she was preparing to launch her presidential campaign following protests in France and as the National Rally sought to exploit political turmoil. She spoke about history, courage and hope, criticised denial and the results of ten years under Emmanuel Macron, and said her aim was to make France change through a sane response rather than a destructive act.
