Morning briefing Friday 2nd October

0:00Therapy's biggest impact doesn't show up in some dramatic breakthrough. It shows up in the smallest moments. You bite your tongue instead of escalating. You put your phone down instead of firing off that text. You say what you actually mean instead of what would hurt someone else the most. Nobody applauds those moments, but they quietly change your life. That's what growing feels like, and that's exactly what Grow Therapy is here for. Grow is therapy that works, covered by insurance. Sessions average$21 with insurance and some pay as little as$0 depending on their plan. There are no subscriptions, no long-term commitments.

0:37You just pay per session. Grow connects you with thousands of high-quality licensed therapists across the U.S. offering both virtual and in-person sessions nights and weekends. You can search by what matters, like insurance, specialty, identity, or availability. and you can book a therapy session in minutes and begin in as little as two days, not the national 48-day average. See if you could pay as little as$0 for therapy in seconds at growtherapy.com slash ACAST. That's growtherapy.com slash ACAST. growtherapy.com slash ACAST. Availability and coverage vary by state and insurance plan.

1:22This is Times Radio's morning briefing on Friday 2nd October. Britain has held emergency talks with European allies over the growing diesel crisis. President Trump is considering banning US exports, unless Europe releases some of its emergency reserves to help bring down prices. Britain is particularly exposed because it relies heavily on imported diesel. Energy analyst Ellen Fraser explains why Europe is reluctant to dip into its reserves. Europe wants to hang on to those supplies because we're heading into quite an unpredictable winter and they want that buffer. So for as long as we can still source those fuel products from the international markets, the European regions will be very keen to do that and not to give away their effectively their insurance policy.

2:10Clearly, though, if the threat from America about not exporting diesel into the European region is real and that looks likely, then there will have to be some flex, but it's a very uncomfortable position to be in. A British-Iranian man has been arrested in connection with the suspected terror plot at RAF Fairford. The 25-year-old was detained in Westminster on suspicion of preparing acts of terrorism. Five other men arrested near the airbase in Gloucestershire on Sunday remain on police bail. Counter-terror officers are investigating possible foreign state involvement. Iran strongly denies any role.

2:48A death row inmate in Tennessee remains in a critical condition after surviving two attempts to execute her by lethal injection. Krista Pike was given two doses of pentobarbital on Wednesday but remained alive and was taken to hospital. The state's governor has now halted all executions for the rest of the year and ordered an independent review. Jonathan Allen from Reuters told Times Radio what happened is highly unusual. They did seem to set up two intravenous lines to their satisfaction and they were able to inject two syringes into her body. and so the distinction seems to be this may be the first instance of someone surviving after the lethal injection drugs have actually been injected.

3:38Hundreds of visitors to the British Museum say they were turned away from the bio tapestry exhibition despite having tickets. Some had queued up for an hour before the museum closed early for a corporate event. The museum has apologised and says those affected will be refunded and offered another chance to see the tapestry for free. Andy Burnham has clarified his comments on Manchester City. He previously said he would be really concerned if City's Abu Dhabi owners sold the club. But now a No. 10 spokesman says there can't be any suggestion that anyone is above the rules. An independent commission found City had breached the Premier League's financial rules.

4:20There's more on these stories throughout the day on Times Radio.
