About this episode
The episode discusses the investigation into Ann Widdecombe's suspected murder, the ongoing heatwave in the UK, and the upcoming World Cup semi-final between France and Spain.
Counter-terror police are now leading the investigation into the suspected murder of Ann Widdecombe after saying “new information and evidence came to light”. The US has carried out strikes on Iran for the third night in a row - while the UAE says at least one crew member died after Iran hit tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Scientists and environmentalists have said the UK is in the grip of a “firewave” as the heatwave provides perfect conditions for wildfires. Meanwhile, Andy Burnham has effectively been confirmed as the next prime minister with 349 Labour MPs having now nominated him to replace Sir Keir Starmer. Finally, France face Spain at the Dallas Stadium in Texas in the first semi-final of the World Cup.
