Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
More than 82,000 homes and businesses were without power as Storm Bulow brought heavy rain and winds of up to 85 mph, with millions under a Met Office amber warning until 9pm. Dozens of flights were cancelled and train and ferry services disrupted. Flooding hit Largs and Saltcoats, a Dumbarton phone shop was damaged, and power outages affected thousands of Northern Power Grid customers in England; ferry crossings and rail services were also affected.
The housing secretary, Angela Rayner, said nothing should be off the table in discussions about the UK's future relationship with the EU. Andy Burnham indicated in a Sunday Times interview that he was open to returning to free movement of people, prompting opposition from the Conservatives and Kemi Badenoch, while the Liberal Democrats argued closer ties could help the economy. The Prime Minister insisted Labour's manifesto commitments on Brexit stood for this Parliament but left open the relationship beyond that.
It emerged that the Duchess of Sussex told her father in a letter last year that she knew he had abused young girls and would never allow him to meet his grandchildren. Thomas Markle denied claims he possessed child sex abuse images at his home in the Philippines and said he would clear his name. Sources close to Meghan said the letter was sent while he was in hospital; Philippine authorities said they seized a computer at his former home suspected to contain child abuse images, and the Metropolitan Police had warned Meghan about allegations in 2019.
