Broadcast overview

An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.

A murder inquiry has begun after a 55-year-old man died following a dog attack on a footpath in Wakefield; another man was arrested on suspicion of murder and owning a dog dangerously out of control, and police are appealing for two witnesses. In other news, Ukraine launched hundreds of drones at Russia in one of its largest aerial attacks, killing at least six people and hitting a warehouse belonging to Russia's biggest online retailer; a NATO jet shot down a drone that entered Romanian airspace as Russian strikes on Ukraine killed two and wounded 14. Hundreds were evacuated after a wildfire in eastern Belgium near the German border, with over 250 emergency personnel tackling the blaze in the High Fens nature reserve.

Back in the UK, residents are returning home after the Stourbridge wildfires, discovering 19 properties completely destroyed and 18 severely damaged, while fire chiefs say 43 new wildfires since Friday have left services under pressure. A fundraiser for the family of former Cambridge professor Jason Arday, found dead after resigning over plagiarism allegations, has raised more than £100,000, with a vigil planned. A tetraplegic veteran, Danny Mather, paralysed from the neck down, will travel 79 miles from Fort William to Inverness in his chin-controlled wheelchair to raise money for spinal injury charities.
