Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Anthony Williams, accused over the Huntingdon train stabbings, pleaded guilty at Cambridge Crown Court to wounding with intent and further wounding charges but denied all counts of attempted murder and is due to stand trial. France gave some cities powers to impose partial curfews after weekend riots and looting, with nearly 2,400 arrests and the interior minister saying police lost control in some areas. Australian MP Helen Haines was critically injured after being struck by a vehicle outside her constituency office in Victoria; a 43-year-old man was held and police found a knife, while the prime minister called it a deliberate attack. NHS leaders said maternity services in England were not fit for purpose, citing staffing problems, threatened closures and rising caesarean deliveries, and the government promised reforms. In Nottingham, a police officer was shot in the foot and four people were arrested.
On public transport, the government announced a crackdown on antisocial behaviour including loud music, littering, vaping and threatening behaviour, with rail fines of up to 1,000 pounds and 100-pound bus fines, though campaigners questioned enforcement. Tommy Robinson appeared in court accused of harassing two Daily Mail journalists after the Southport attacks and denied the charges. Reports said the UK housing market could be slowing, with Rightmove and Zoopla noting a glut of homes and the highest rate of price reductions in 15 years. The World Food Programme said funding shortages would force it to cut Gaza food assistance by half a million people. The prime minister visited Aberfan before the 60th anniversary of the disaster. In the Russell Brand trial, a woman alleged he assaulted and orally raped her in a Soho bar toilet in 2004; he denies all charges. Cindy Crawford said her family was heartbroken after her son Presley Gerber died at a rehabilitation facility in California, and Greek authorities reported 12 migrants died in two Aegean Sea incidents.
The ceramics industry asked the Chancellor for help with energy and staffing costs ahead of the Budget, and a Japanese mission was due to launch to try to bring back a sample from the Martian moon Phobos. In the West, an appeal was made for more foster carers as more children entered care and councils used costly children's homes; the mother of Ellie Gould campaigned for relationships and sex education to remain compulsory past 16 with a focus on domestic abuse and coercive control; Bristol Old Vic actors took theatre into secondary schools; and a care home near Bristol opened its own bar for residents.

Contested quote Japan launches mission to return samples from Mars moon Phobos

It's worth all the cost, let's say, and the effort of this mission because it will solve, we hope it will solve, a very big puzzle.
