Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced plans to reform social care in England, stating that difficult decisions on tax would be necessary. He described the current system as a major dereliction of public duty and promised cross-party talks, improved training for care staff, and an earlier report from Baroness Casey's independent review in 2027. Burnham also linked the issue to assisted dying, saying any consideration should follow care reform.
A new heatwave in Europe pushed temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius in parts of France and Spain, where firefighters worked to contain wildfires and evacuations continued. In the UK, more than half of England was officially declared in drought after a prolonged period of hot, dry weather. The heat affected farming, with wheat harvests starting earlier than in 50 years and dairy farmers in the West Country reporting a 10-20% drop in milk production, leading to measures such as installing fans to cool cows.
