Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The broadcast reported a government review finding that 112 care leavers aged 18-24 died in 2025, with over a third taking their own lives. The story of George McCulloch, an autistic care leaver who died shortly after turning 18, was used to illustrate how support can fall away sharply at the point it is most needed. Police investigating the fatal A66 crash that killed two officers made 12 arrests linked to organised crime, and a fundraiser for the families passed £700,000.
Britain and Ukraine signed an agreement to jointly develop AI defence and security tools, giving the UK access to Ukraine's Avengers AI labs. Prime Minister Andy Burnham visited Kiev for independence events and pledged to let Ukraine build its own Storm Shadow missiles. The report also noted that a former fisherman from South Yorkshire became the first British citizen reported killed fighting for Russia in Ukraine. Separately, the US Treasury Secretary imposed further sanctions on Iran, warning trading partners to sever financial ties or face retaliation.
In Glasgow, a critical shortage of affordable housing was reported to be fuelling community tension and vigilantism. Rumours that migrants were jumping housing queues sparked violent protests, with police saying innocent people were targeted. Local officials said refugees are not prioritised over locals, and the response should address the housing shortage rather than blame a group.

Charged quote Care leavers die at four times general population rate
The entire weight of everything that social services had done with him was all focused towards what are you going to do when you turn 18. So first and foremost it was in his mind a massive, a massive cliff edge that was coming and coming and coming. In the November he had a suicide attempt, took an overdose, ended up in hospital and then was discharged.

Charged quote Hospital fire in Islamabad kills newborn infants
Tom and Matt were so passionate about their job, they absolutely loved policing, loved doing what they did, and were a credit to the community and to our force. You've spoken to both families, how are they? Understandably, their worlds have absolutely fallen apart. The five young men in the VW Passat that had been pursued through the streets before the crash lost their lives too.

Charged quote Hospital fire in Islamabad kills newborn infants
We know we have a huge number of issues and challenges here. It's no secret, our crime statistics here have been on the wrong end of the table for a long time and Cleveland Police have made huge efforts to deal with that.

Charged quote Burnham's Kyiv visit brings missile blueprints and AI defence pact
As President Zelensky has said, Ukraine is not a poor relative, but a strong ally. I'd go further still, Ukraine has been Europe's protector, not a drain on our security, but the front line of keeping Europe safe. The prime minister had come to Kiev for Ukrainian independence events, a day laden with symbolism, highlighting the sacrifices made in this war.

Charged quote Burnham's Kyiv visit brings missile blueprints and AI defence pact
Well, Britain wants to tap into something that Ukraine, and only Ukraine really has, operational experience in fighting the new kind of war raging on the front line with Russian forces, a sci-fi war of machines, drones and AI. Ukraine is developing powerful AI platforms, helping to trace, track and target the enemy.

Charged quote Burnham's Kyiv visit brings missile blueprints and AI defence pact
What Ukraine needs most though is protection against this, Russian ballistic missile attacks on civilian targets. France has now authorised Ukraine to use its technology to make its own interceptors to neutralise the ballistic missile menace. Britain's Ministry of Defence has told Sky News the UK will not be doing the same as part of this latest deal with Ukraine.

Contested quote US launches 'Economic D-Day' sanctions to isolate Iran
Now, Scott Bessent didn't really go into a great deal of detail. This is quite a short statement, a news conference. I think it lasted less than 20 minutes. And he is not, I mean, they're calling it D-Day, but he's not actually imposing anything right now. So it's really not D-Day. What he is saying is, you've got a bit of time.
