Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Prince Harry and six other claimants were ordered by the High Court to pay £9.5 million in initial indemnity costs to Associated Newspapers, the publisher of the Daily Mail, after their privacy case was thrown out. The claimants, including Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley and Baroness Lawrence, face potential further costs of up to £34.5 million, with only £16 million covered by insurance. The judge found the claims were exceptionally broad and lacked credible evidence.
The UK marked its first official national day for victims and survivors of terrorism, with the prime minister saying he would consult on creating a permanent memorial. Survivors, including those affected by the Lockerbie bombing and the 2005 London attacks, expressed concerns that the compensation system is unfit for purpose and that they feel neglected.
Questions mounted over Natalie Harp, a close aide to Donald Trump, who reportedly worked for over a year without proper security clearance; the White House said she currently has clearance. In Ukraine, at least 14 people were killed after Russia attacked a shopping center in Kryvyi Rih, and a judge ruled that a Barclays bank attack linked to Palestine Action would not be treated as terrorism. In the Tupac Shakur murder trial, the defense lawyer told jurors not to believe his client's admissions, saying the former gang leader's statements were not credible.
