1:00Alongside our partners, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway, today we are announcing sanctions against those individuals because we have been absolutely clear this has to stop and we stand for a two-state solution and the settler violence that we've seen in the West Bank particularly is entirely unacceptable and must stop. Police say violence in Ballymina last night, which left 15 officers injured, was racist thuggery. Several houses were attacked in the town after an earlier peaceful protest in support of a girl who was a victim of an alleged sexual assault. Three days of mourning have been declared in Austria after 10 people died in a school shooting in the city of Graz.
1:45A number of others have been injured. There were six female and three male victims and the attacker, who was 21, also died. Journalist Misha Glennie is author and rector of the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and says the country has been rocked. There's a really genuine sense of shock here in Vienna, but down in Graz, of course, it will be even greater. This was an important day politically in Austria because Christian Stocker, the chancellor, was going to hold a press conference after 100 days of his new government. Everything has been put on hold. flags are flying half-mast. Sir Keir Starmer has described the announcement of a new nuclear power plant in Suffolk as a really big day.
2:28£14.2 billion has been set aside for Syswell C, which it's hoped will create 10 ,000 jobs. The Times' policy editor, Oliver Wright, says this is important to provide energy for around 6 million homes, but there's more to it. The critical bit to it is Britain's existing nuclear power stations are coming to the end of their natural life. And, you know, there is a real problem that we need to replace those nuclear power plants, as well as creating additional capacity for what's likely to be a big increase in demand for electricity as people, you know, take up electric vehicles, rely on, you know, gas central heating much less.
3:03So it is a really important part of the government's pledge to get to clean power by 2030 and ultimately net zero by 2050. HMRC has been told its failure to report details of a phishing scam that affected around 100, thousand taxpayers sooner is unacceptable. A committee of MPs say they were only alerted about the breach when a notification was published on the tax authority's website. It lost£47 million in the scam. And Uber says it's launching self-driving taxis in London from spring next year. The service will be in partnership with an artificial intelligence start-up.
