0:34Hello, this is your Times Radio Evening Briefing for Tuesday 3rd November with me, James Kitchen. The King says the transatlantic slave trade fills his heart with horror and his soul with the most profound personal sorrow. Charles has opened the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Antigua. He's been joined by the Prime Minister who says he'll begin discussions about offering a formal apology for Britain's role in the slave trade. Addressing Commonwealth leaders, the King said evil need not have the last word. The more I have furthered my own understanding of the issues through listening, learning and looking, the more committed I have become to finding ways for us to work in modern partnership to address the wrongs of the past with action for the future.

1:25Meanwhile, the former Archbishop of Canterbury has warned the UK agreeing to pay reparations would be like imposing a vast fine on the entire British people for a crime they did not commit. Justin Welby said many taxpayers are themselves descended from slaves, while the vast majority of Britons alive today have no connection to slavers' profits. Laura Trevelyan is a leading advocate for the Caribbean's repertory justice agenda. She says she supports Andy Burnham's suggestion of a debt reset. Debt relief doesn't cost Britain's taxpayers money. That debt is held by private institutions and the IMF and so on.

2:02So by starting there, it seems to me that's a good way to try to unravel this entangled past. Donald Trump has confirmed he's cutting off$4 billion of aid to Israel at the end of the year because it's become an easy target for the left. Polling stations are open in the US where voters will deliver their verdict on his second term so far. Democrats are hoping to take control of Congress and limit the president's power during his final two years in office. The former Trump campaign spokesperson, Steve Cortez, told Times Radio the Republicans will do better than expected despite the conflict with Iran.

2:39Not because people are happy with the war, not at all, but they are so convinced that the extreme radical Democrats are just not an acceptable alternative at all. That I believe we're going to actually outperform. And if that's correct, then President Trump will realize, okay, I have displeased a minority but significant portion of my base. We outperform though because of the radicalism of the democrats time to wrap this up and get back to economic growth at home meanwhile melania trump says she's bringing russian and ukrainian representatives together at the white house on thursday officials have credited the u.s first lady with helping secure a ceasefire in russian-controlled aleshki and the surrounding herson region seven flights have been searched after landing in europe following a series of bomb threats Two Ryanair planes were inspected after touching down in Rome, with one flying from Dublin, escorted by the Italian Air Force.

3:31No explosives have been found on any of the planes. The leader of Reform UK in Hampshire has been charged with 35 offences against four victims, including 12 counts of rape. The Crown Prosecution Service says the alleged offences took place between 2008 and 2021 in Portsmouth and in Wales. George Madgwick will appear at Portsmouth Magistrates Court later this month. He's been suspended from the party with immediate effect. A celebrity has lost his bid for a High Court injunction against two media organisations to prevent the publication of allegations against him. He still can't be named as a judge has ruled he can appeal.
