UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham (and Chris Mason!) have returned from a busy 24 hours in New York where the prime minister met US President Donald Trump for the first time, and gave his first major international speech at the United Nations General Assembly. The Prime Minister talked about fighting against Russian disinformation and pushing global AI standards.

Chris has come straight from the airport to the Newscast studio to talk through the big news lines from the visit. He also reveals what happened behind-the-scenes.

Contains flashing images – In this UK exclusive, Laura Kuenssberg interviews Earl Spencer after explosive new revelations in his latest book about his sister, Diana, Princess of Wales, her marriage to the now King, her tragic death, and the lasting impact on her children, Princes William and Harry.

This week, a Buckingham Palace Spokesperson said: “While we do not comment on books as a matter of principle, His Majesty is mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.”

Laura has interviewed Princess Diana’s brother, Earl Spencer, who has defended his claims about a phone call with King Charles.

He says the then-Prince of Wales said “we’ll forget her soon enough” during an argument over whether Princes William and Harry should walk in Diana’s funeral procession.

The Palace released a statement questioning his version of events, saying “grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory.”

So, what does the Earl Spencer say to that? And has this row become about integrity, and the right to tell Princess Diana’s story?
