Will the next Prime Minister have more money for defence?

World at One

Available for 27 days

Questions remain over military spending. Labour's Jake Richards, and James Cartlidge from the Conservatives, have their say as part of our PMQs panel. John Foreman used to be Britain's defence attaché to Moscow and analyses the Russian threat. Two police officers called to the scene of Henry Nowak’s murder are under investigation for potential gross misconduct after they failed to give him immediate first aid and instead handcuffed him as he lay dying. We have a live report. New data shows global ocean surface temperatures in June were the highest on record. Scientists at the EU's climate change monitor Copernicus found the temperatures beat those set in 2023 and 2024, and are well above the average from 1991 to 2010. Samantha Burgess is the Deputy Director of Copernicus and joins to explain. And Victor Willis, a founding member and lead singer of the Village People, has died. We reflect on the band's huge crossover appeal and its legacy.
