The broadcast opened with coverage of wildfires in Stourbridge, where some residents were allowed back to retrieve essentials after fires destroyed 19 homes and damaged 18 others. Prince William expressed his thoughts for those affected and the emergency services. The fire was out but police were investigating, and the Prime Minister described the country as a tinderbox, with crews called to 42 new wildfires in the last 24 hours.
The death of former Cambridge academic Jason Arday was reported. The 41-year-old had resigned after plagiarism allegations and questions about his achievements; the Prime Minister called his death a tragedy on so many levels, and the Mayor of London said Arday faced an unacceptable public hounding. In Indonesia, the death toll from a 7.7 magnitude earthquake off Flores Island rose to 47, with rescuers searching for survivors amid landslides and aftershocks. Iran told Donald Trump to accept defeat, saying it would not resume talks and that the Strait of Hormuz would remain closed.
Fans of Bonnie Tyler lined the streets of Mumbles as her coffin was brought to her former home ahead of her funeral on Monday; the singer died last month at 75. Prime Minister Andy Burnham visited Cornwall and unveiled a £65 million funding package for farmers in England dealing with drought, including environmental grants and help for reservoirs, while admitting more work was needed to rebuild trust after the inheritance tax row.
