Mornings with Jones and Melbourne
President Trump used an executive order to pause a sweeping package of sanctions against Russia, despite having signed them into law last month, saying the move was in America's national interests and coming days after his plan to buy diesel from Putin. The report said Trump is facing difficult midterm elections, low personal popularity and high diesel prices, and that he is blaming Zelensky for problems linked to his war with Iran; Ukraine has run out of Patriot missiles while US stocks are low, and Trump has signed a deal to buy Russian diesel, limited Ukraine's Starlink capabilities and said Zelensky should resign. Separately, Defence Secretary Wes Streeting announced a major exercise in Poland next month to prepare a potential Ukraine peacekeeping mission if a ceasefire is reached, involving British, German, French and Polish soldiers and practice in moving troops and supplies. General Sir Roly Walker told soldiers at Catterick Garrison the nation would need them and that political leaders were about to begin a frank conversation about readiness for war and sacrifices needed to prioritise defence and security.
BBC News
The broadcast began with US President Donald Trump using his authority to waive key sanctions against Russia under a law passed last month, citing US national interests. The restrictions, including sanctions on Russian leaders such as President Putin and government-controlled entities, had been due to come into force on Sunday, and the waivers would remain until further notice. A correspondent said the law was meant to punish Russia, especially its energy sector, for invading Ukraine, and that Trump had put it on hold as his view of President Zelensky soured; Trump described Zelensky as an obstacle to peace and suggested he should no longer be president of Ukraine. The White House did not explain how the move served US national interests. The programme also reported that new White House Press Secretary Katie Zachariah had been sacked five days after taking up the post, after a 14-minute first briefing, scrutiny over her legal credentials and her saying she had passed the bar exam in China, which the report said was not possible; she later told Fox News she had taken but not passed the bar. An analyst said the dismissal was a distraction Trump did not need and that the sanctions move fitted a pattern of Trump viewing Putin as more correct than Zelensky. Iran's Revolutionary Guard said an oil tanker carrying over two million barrels of crude exploded after striking a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz, accusing the vessel of using an unauthorised route and turning off positioning and radar systems. In Mexico, three men were each sentenced to more than 158 years in prison for the 2024 murders of three foreign tourists, including Australian brothers and an American friend, on a surfing trip in Baja California.
The Media Show
The Media Show began with Ros Atkins and Katie Razzall interviewing Russell T Davies about his memoir and screenwriting career. He described Queer as Folk as his big break and said the series changed his life and kept a door open for him. He discussed his recent Channel 4 drama Tip Toe, saying it deliberately laid out its subject of creeping homophobia fuelled by an online voice, and he raised concerns about financial pressures and cuts facing public service broadcasters. He suggested the iPlayer could be promoted more and carry Channel 4 programmes, and said older Granada episodes and unavailable shows should be made more accessible. On Doctor Who, he said he would not return a third time, the show is out for tender, a CBeebies cartoon is due in 2027, and he expected a new Doctor and companion to begin production next summer. He also said he does not use AI, fears it could replace writers and threaten copyright, and called a boss’s remark about an AI Doctor Who clumsy.
New: Patrick Christys Tonight Late...
The broadcast began with a newspaper preview highlighting RAF mystery drones over the UK, Elon Musk's flying car, the wife of the national security adviser being accused of supporting a banned terrorist organisation, the army chief's warning that ordinary Brits should prepare for war, and Donald Trump's press secretary leaving after five days. The news bulletin then reported that the Metropolitan Police was assessing a post by Sarah Helm, wife of national security adviser Jonathan Powell, after she was accused of backing the prescribed group Palestine Action, while Downing Street said her views did not represent the government. It also reported that President Trump was in no rush to name a new press secretary after firing Katie Zachariah five days into the job following a faltering press conference and questions about her legal background.
BBC News and Weather
European leaders, including President Macron, rallied around Ukraine's President Zelensky at an EU summit after a war of words between Kyiv and Washington over Ukraine's access to US satellite services. The broadcast reported from near the front line in Donetsk, where Ukraine's Operation Vivaldi has reclaimed more than 100 square miles and ended a major Russian advance, and examined reliance on Starshield/Starlink and uncertainty over US support. In the occupied West Bank, masked settlers attacked Palestinians and set fire to cars and olive trees during the annual olive harvest; the UN said there had been nearly 200 settler attacks in two weeks, and a Washington Post journalist was among those assaulted.
The Wrap With Gillian Joseph
Donald Trump called Volodymyr Zelensky a disgrace and later claimed a good relationship with him, while Zelensky attended an EU meeting in Brussels and thanked EU leaders as real leaders. Asked whether he was being treated as a scapegoat for Trump's problems, Zelensky did not answer. The broadcast reported that Trump had signed a deal to buy Russian diesel, limited Ukraine's capabilities with Starlink, and said Zelensky should resign. Discussion on the programme focused on Zelensky's difficult position, the EU's constraints as a donor, US weapons and funding uncertainty, and the possible impact of the US midterm elections.
ITV News at Ten
ITV News at Ten reported from eastern Ukraine, where a team travelled to Izium in the Kharkiv region, about 20 miles from the front line, under anti-drone nets and air raid alerts. It described Russian occupation earlier in the war, residents killed or fled, buses and schools targeted, children learning in basements, and a graveyard with 400 unidentified bodies from mass graves. President Zelensky, in Brussels with EU leaders, defended Ukraine's right to long-range strikes and said he needed around 70 billion from Europe next year; the Pope, from hospital, had called President Putin to urge him to break the siege of Oleshky, where about 2,000 people including 50 children were said to be trapped without food or medical services since May.
The Context
The broadcast began with White House press secretary Katie Zakaria leaving the job after just five days. The move followed a bruising start, including a first press briefing lasting 14 minutes and questions over her legal credentials, including a Fox News exchange about whether she had passed the bar exam. President Trump said she had been treated badly by the media and that he told her to reconsider staying in the role. The programme reported she was the shortest-serving White House press secretary in history, and later a Washington correspondent said a White House official described her as transitioning out of the role, effectively fired.
New: Lee Anderson's Real World
The broadcast began with headlines. Downing Street distanced itself from comments by Sarah Helm, wife of the Prime Minister's national security adviser Jonathan Powell, after she was accused of backing the banned protest group Palestine Action; she had posted that God should help authors who support Palestine and Palestine Action, while responding to criticism of Sally Rooney for withdrawing her novels from the UK over her support for the prescribed terror group. Donald Trump said his new White House press secretary was transitioning out after backlash from her first briefing; Katie Zachariah had been appointed the previous week and was criticised over her faltering first news conference and over claims to be a lawyer despite not passing the bar exam, with US political editor Tom Harwood reporting that Trump had said the media pressure was unexpected and that White House reporting, first by Fox News, said she was leaving after five days.
Channel 4 News
The broadcast led with President Zelensky meeting European leaders in Brussels, where he asked for another 70 billion euros in aid next year; leaders broadly agreed but privately urged him to reduce public anger against President Trump. It reported continued Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries, which Trump called disgraceful, and said the Starlink satellite system had not been fully restored, with reports that the throttling order came from inside the White House, though Trump and Elon Musk denied ordering it. The programme also covered Vladimir Putin's stated aim to capture a further 10% of eastern Ukraine and a non-negotiable security zone, UN figures showing record civilian casualties including 328 killed last month, a strike that killed two people at a market in Kharkiv, and US-Russian economic deals under discussion. It then reported US media claims that Trump's new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, had been let go after five days, following a criticised first press conference and an admission that she had failed her bar exam; Trump said he had advised her to reconsider the role.
ITV Evening News
ITV Evening News led with Reform UK after an undercover ITV investigation found councillors and candidates using racist and misogynistic language. Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick defended the party's vetting procedures, said all parties have bad apples and rejected fellow Reform MP Sarah Pochin's claim that the party is chauvinistic; councillor Alan Feeney resigned and apologised, and the party said investigations had begun and some suspensions had been made. The programme then reported that Joshua Foster, a British father from Essex, had been spared jail in Cyprus and fined 3,000 euros after admitting causing the death of his two-year-old son, who fell 40 feet from a hotel window. It also reported that Hampshire's police and crime commissioner opposed the early release of Kiran Kaur, mother of Vikram Digwa, who murdered Henry Nowak, and that legal documents showed police feared Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could block searches at Windsor and Sandringham before warrants were ruled unlawful; he denies wrongdoing.
BBC News
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked EU leaders at a Brussels summit for continued support and said he wanted to end the war as soon as possible, in remarks seen as an apparent swipe at Donald Trump, who criticised Ukraine's renewed strikes on Russian oil refineries. Ukraine retook more than 100 square miles of occupied land in the east through an operation known as Vivaldi, which Ukrainian forces said had ended a major Russian advance, though a BBC report from near the Donetsk front line described drone threats, troop rotations and reliance on Starlink and Starshield. A Norwegian teenager, Johannes Natland, was jailed for 20 years after being caught in a Huddersfield hotel with two guns and live ammunition before he could carry out a murder for the Foxtrot Network, a Swedish organised crime group linked to Iran, with the intended victim not identified. A British man from Essex, Joshua Foster, was fined the equivalent of £2,500 in Cyprus after his two-year-old son fell nearly 40 feet from an open hotel window and died; the court found no evidence he deliberately exposed the child to danger. Yorkshire Ambulance Trust said it was investigating two possible incidents of staff wrongly accessing or attempting to access the medical records of William Chapman, who was killed by a tiger at Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster.
