Spanish PM wife charged | Brit Rock & Roll success

About this episode

The episode covers various news topics including the charging of the Spanish PM's wife, US-Iran tensions, and the induction of British acts into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Washington and Tehran continue to exchange threats as a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, led by the US, comes into effect. US Central Command has confirmed any ships entering or leaving Iranian ports will now be subject to this blockade. Donald Trump has landed himself in hot water following a post on Truth Social in which he shared an AI-generated image, seeming to depict himself as Jesus Christ. The Southport attack would have been prevented if Axel Rudakubana's parents told the authorities what they knew about the killer, a public inquiry has found. The wife of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, Begoña Gómez, has been charged with corruption following a two-year investigation. And a record-breaking six British acts are to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year. Sophy and Wilf have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
