Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham made his first international trip to Ukraine, meeting President Zelensky and chairing a session of the coalition of the willing, while the UK declassified missile information to help Ukraine build long-range weapons. Tributes were paid to two police officers killed in a head-on crash in Middlesbrough, with public donations surpassing £200,000; the crash followed a pursuit of a car with cloned plates. Concerns were raised about UK water storage after one of the driest summers on record, with only one new reservoir under construction in 35 years and a projected shortfall of five billion litres a day by 2050.
A man-made wildfire in Nevada prompted evacuation orders for 90,000 people and injured six. In India, repeated exam paper leaks led to student protests and more than 20 suicides, with the education minister losing his post. Metropolitan police ran operations ahead of Notting Hill Carnival to crack down on gangs, drugs and weapons, after more than 500 arrests during last year's carnival. Data from Lloyds showed impersonation scam victims lost over £3,500 on average in the last year. In breaking news, US forces said they killed two narco-terrorists in a strike on a vessel along drug trafficking routes in the eastern Pacific.
