04:29Andy Burnham became the UK's new prime minister on Monday, becoming the seventh premier to preside
04:35over the country in 10 years as the UK's political turmoil continues.
04:41Starmer, who announced his stepping down just one month ago and speaking for the final time in his
04:46tenure of two years before tendering his resignation on Monday before the king, said his work is done
04:52and wished Burnham well in his mission to lead the country. Burnham was appointed by King Charles later
04:58the same day, inviting the former Greater Manchester mayor to form a government. Speaking for the first time
05:05as prime minister, Burnham said he wants to usher in a new era for the UK. Later this year I
05:13will bring
05:14forward a new plan for Britain, a 10-year plan, laying out a path from where we are now to
05:24where I believe
05:25we all want Britain to be, wherever we're coming from, whatever party we support. But I can do something
05:33to give people some breathing space now, some help with the cost of living. And I will set out some
05:42of
05:42those measures starting tomorrow, including how we pay for them. Londoners who've become accustomed to
05:51high prime minister turnover as of late have expressed hope that Burnham will turn the tide
05:55and even optimism that he could overturn the very thing that has divided the nation.
06:00Well, I think he seems like a nice man from what I've seen from his campaigns in Manchester,
06:06but I'm hoping that maybe I did hear that Andy Burnham might maybe bring us back into Europe,
06:11so you never know. That would be a good thing for the country, I think. Burnham has been widely
06:15credited with positively transforming Manchester in his nine-year spell as mayor, a feat many are

06:43Anthropic and a group of authors closing the largest copyright class in US history. The deal was
06:49approved on July 20 in San Francisco, rejecting objections from some authors who argued the payout
06:54was too small. The settlement first proposed last September resolves a class action filed by some
07:00writers in August 2024 who accused Anthropic of using pirated books to train its clawed chatbot.
07:07Under the deal, authors and publishers will each receive $3,000 from an estimated 500,000 works
07:13covered by the settlement. The case followed a June 2025 ruling which found that training clawed on
07:19lawfully acquired books qualified as fair use, but that storing millions of pirated books in a central
07:26library did not. As Anthropic welcomed the resolution, the plaintiff's lead attorney described
07:32it as the largest publicly known copyright recovery in history, while dozens of similar cases continue against
07:38OpenAI, Google and Meta.

10:06These beaches in northwestern France are a site of global historical significance.
10:12That is why this stretch, just over 80 km long, could be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in
10:20the coming days.
10:21It was here that more than 150,000 men from some 15 countries landed on June 6, 1944.
10:30More than 4,000 soldiers lost their lives that day, but the Allied landings represented a decisive battle in the
10:37liberation of Europe from Nazism.
10:39The nomination covers the five D-Day beaches, Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, Sword, as well as La Pointe du Hoc
10:48and the Artificial Harbor at Aromanche-les-Bains.
10:50So, this site, with its artificial port, is on the list that is proposed to the UNESCO sites,
11:00in addition to the landing sites, because we consider that, with the role that he played is very important,
11:06we can consider that it is the equivalent of a landing beach, even if the troops did not directly beach
11:13on the beach,
11:13but have traveled through this port.
11:15This project, launched in 2008, could also generate significant economic benefits for the Normandie region.
11:24A 15% increase in tourism is expected if the designation is awarded.
11:30Nearly 1.8 million visitors traveled to the D-Day beaches last year.
11:35UNESCO will meet from July 24 to 27 in South Korea to reach its decision.
