Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The broadcast began with the Monaco bomb attack, where authorities named the main suspect as 39-year-old Ukrainian woman Anastasia Berezovska, who disguised herself as a man. Interpol issued a red notice for her arrest. The target was a Ukrainian-born sanctioned oligarch, and the parcel bomb injured him, his wife critically, and his child. Then, UK politics: Andy Burnham, the incoming prime minister, stated he would adhere to Labour's 2024 manifesto, while indicating room for tax changes such as higher business rates on warehouses to cut rates for pubs. He also discussed defence funding, welfare reform focused on young people, and faced questions about his cabinet choices, with a senior Labour figure expressing concern that reuniting former male colleagues could reopen scars for women who served in that period.
In Venezuela, acting president Delcie Rodriguez defended the government's earthquake response, but the death toll exceeded 2,500 and the correspondent noted rescue efforts still relied on civilian volunteers. Ukraine observed a day of mourning after further Russian attacks, with a journalist in Kiev describing the atmosphere as focused on safety. A 17-year-old was charged with attempted murder after a Birmingham shooting left a 16-year-old in critical condition. Over 120 passengers and crew on a Princess Cruises ship contracted norovirus. The Liberal Democrats launched a campaign for England captain Harry Kane to receive a knighthood after his World Cup performance. Finally, Iran prepared for the funeral of former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, killed in February, with his body on display and a week-long funeral expected to draw millions.

was everyone should go down to Liguara to cause chaos to hinder the search and rescue efforts. Our international correspondent, John Sparks, gave us his reaction to those comments. She's sounding very defensive, quite brittle, actually. I think, you know, we've moved now into a new phase. I think the likelihood of finding survivors now in the rubble

They don't think the government provided an effective response. They didn't supply food, medicine, critically the heavy diggers that these search and rescue attempts, these search and rescue missions are absolutely reliant on. They need the diggers to move the concrete, the slabs and the rest of it.

They need the diggers to move the concrete, the slabs and the rest of it. That just hasn't happened. And the rescue effort to a large degree, even now, is still dependent on civilians, on volunteers. They are digging through the rubble with their hands, with shovels, with pickaxes. They are running the shelters.

And I think people are finding their voice, particularly around this. Quite interesting. We have seen images on social media of local people expressing their anger towards members of the military, officials as well.

picking through the rubble and taking things for their own benefit. I think that's a reminder that this is a poor country. A small number of police officers have apparently been arrested for that, but there is a lot of frustration, a lot of anger out there. And I think that that's something now that Delcie Rodriguez has to manage as well.

papering over, if you like, what are deep divisions within Iran. We saw those massive protests on the streets of Iran before the war, where thousands of people were killed by their own government.
