Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Six days after the Venezuela earthquake, rescuers in Caracas worked through the night to free 44-year-old Hernan Gil Flores from a collapsed underground car park, with the death toll rising above 1,700 and tens of thousands still missing. A major report into maternity services in England, led by Baroness Valerie Amos, found the system 'not fit for now and not fit for the future,' recommending a new statutory maternity commissioner and urgent reforms amid calls from families for a full statutory enquiry.
In Monaco, a parcel bomb injured Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Yemalayev, who was sanctioned for ties to Russia, prompting a manhunt into southern France. Prime Minister Keir Starmer launched a Defence Investment Plan with an extra £15 billion, though former Defence Secretary John Healy resigned over funding concerns, and the government announced plans requiring asylum seekers to repay up to £10,000 towards accommodation once they start earning. The leader of the Rochdale grooming gang, Shabir Ahmed, is set to be released from prison and cannot be deported to Pakistan due to immigration laws, while police released footage of a car deliberately set on fire in Northampton and four men admitted spraying a noxious substance at Heathrow Airport.
England must beat the Democratic Republic of Congo to reach the World Cup last 16 after Germany lost to Paraguay on penalties, and Serena Williams made a sensational return to Wimbledon singles tennis after a four-year break, with fans queuing from early morning to see her play on Centre Court.
