Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
In Northern Ireland, a controversial Orange Order parade was set to pass through a mainly Catholic area of Portadown for the first time in nearly 30 years after late-night court hearings rejected a last-minute legal challenge. The annual Drumcree parade had not gone down the Garvaghy Road since it was banned in 1998; nationalist residents said it would reopen old wounds, while the Orange Order said there was nothing to fear. A large crowd including masked men gathered on the road, and about 200 police officers came from Scotland to help with security planning.
Bangkok was declared a flood disaster zone after heavy rainfall across Thailand, with more than 10,000 troops deployed for evacuations and rescues. At least 30 roads in Bangkok were heavily flooded, with water at knee or thigh level, and residents described shortages of drinking water and stranded cars. Millions of people in the northeastern United States were also in the path of a powerful storm; states of emergency were declared in New York and New Jersey, more than 60,000 homes and businesses lost power, a 56-year-old man was killed by a falling tree in Brooklyn, and hundreds of flights were cancelled. Ukraine's President Zelensky said Russia had launched more than 2,700 jet-powered drones in the last month, over half of which were intercepted or disabled, and Bangladesh launched a nationwide measles campaign for nearly three and a half million unvaccinated children amid the world's worst measles outbreak, with more than 1,000 deaths, mostly children. Iran said only a negotiated settlement could reopen the Strait of Hormuz after President Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to restore shipping within a week, which he said Iran wanted only because it was losing badly.
The Pope was due to celebrate mass in Lourdes on the third day of his four-day visit to France, after leading an open-air service in Paris in front of an estimated 700,000 worshippers on Saturday. The Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, announced the Your First Home scheme to help first-time buyers in England onto the property ladder, open to employed buyers with a 2.5% deposit and offering a government-backed 20% loan for new-build homes, with full details in next month's budget ahead of the Labour Party conference in Liverpool.
