About this episode

The episode covers supermarket price caps, softened UK sanctions on Russia, a police investigation into child abuse, political candidacies, and Arsenal's Premier League victory.

The government has reportedly been encouraging supermarkets to put price caps on essential products such as eggs, bread and milk. Meanwhile, the UK has softened sanctions on Moscow - allowing diesel and jet fuel from Russian crude oil to enter the UK if it is refined in other countries. Surrey Police have confirmed it is investigating two separate allegations of child sexual abuse following the release of the Epstein files. In politics, Andy Burnham has perhaps unsurprisingly been selected as Labour's candidate for the Makerfield by-election - while self-employed plumber Robert Kenyon will stand for Reform UK. Finally - Arsenal fans have had a night to remember after the north London side won its first Premier League title in 22 years. Sophy and Wilf have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
