Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Storm Bulow brought high winds and heavy rain to parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, Cumbria and Greater Manchester, flooding streets, bringing down trees and leaving tens of thousands of people without power. Rail companies advised against travel in Scotland and Northern England, many roads closed including the A1 after power lines fell, and there were flight and ferry disruptions. The storm hit days after Storm Austin, with suggestions Storm Chloe could be next and more heavy winds predicted for the north tomorrow.
The local government secretary, Angela Rayner, said the UK should revisit its relationship with Europe after the Prime Minister called for an honest discussion about the possibility of returning to freedom of movement between the UK and the EU. Rayner said it was time for a grown-up conversation about safeguarding borders and ensuring economies benefit from people who come to work in the UK and those who want to work in Europe. New details also emerged about the Duchess of Sussex and her estranged father, Thomas Markle, including a letter saying he would never meet his grandchildren; the reported break-up appears to be over images of child sexual abuse allegedly belonging to him found in his Philippines home, which he denies.
President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump cast their votes in person in Florida for the midterms, while former President Barack Obama campaigned for the Democrats. More than 1,000 arrests were made at protests across France over rising living costs and school funding, and Brazilians voted in a presidential run-off between Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flavio Bolsonaro.
