Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Investigations are ongoing into a crash near Middlesbrough in which seven people died, including two police officers. Officers Matthew Blades and Tom Clough were killed after their police vehicle collided with a car travelling the wrong way down a dual carriageway, and the five occupants of that car, identified locally as teenage boys, also died. Seaton Carew Football Club, where Blades coached, paid tribute, and the independent police watchdog is carrying out its own investigation. CCTV showed a car speeding before the crash, though the police car involved was not part of the pursuit.
Hackers linked to Iran reportedly shut down a British power plant for four days last month, the first such successful attack on a UK facility. The government confirmed a small-scale energy generator was impacted but said there was no risk to the wider grid. Separately, Russia withdrew its ambassador from the UK after Ukraine used British-made drones to strike Russian territory, and Ukrainian media reported a large fire near St Petersburg was due to a drone strike. The government also announced plans to confine serious sexual and violent offenders to small zones after release, with victims having a say in setting the boundaries.
A 60-year-old British skateboarder, Darren Myles, will represent Great Britain in slalom skateboarding at the World Skate Games in Paraguay in October. Having skated most of his life, he took up slalom in his late 50s, describing the steep hills and high speeds as intimidating but receiving help from others. He says he is proud to represent his country at age 60 and that life carries on after 60.
