15.11.2024 โข The Day Welby's Church Met Trump's Health Crown
โจTrump's nomination of RFK Jr as health secretary dominated morning coverage, following previous days' appointments of Musk, Gaetz, and others. The nomination sparked immediate backlash from health professionals and rights groups.
Domestic focus shifted to police handling of hate incidents, with reports of investigations targeting children, clergy, and journalists.

Migration tensions surfaced with reports of Windsor residents protesting asylum housing, while Britain emerged as experiencing the highest surge in permanent migration among developed nations after the US. The day concluded with developments in two violent cases: the Bristol mistaken identity murders and a teen's conviction for infant death.
Davina McCall's brain tumor surgery and escalating flight costs due to supply issues rounded out evening coverage.
