## Resource

It has been a night of horror for Labour in the Local elections, while Reform UK have made significant gains. Sir Keir Starmer's party has been haemorrhaging seats as local authorities began declaring overnight, in a set of contests that could prove decisive for his premiership. The US Central Command has said it intercepted "unprovoked Iranian attacks" and responded through targeting launch sites in Iran. This is after an Iranian military spokesperson confirmed they had attacked US vessels, for what they described as "the aggressive, terrorist, and pirate US military (having) violated the ceasefire". A 39-year-old man has been charged following an incident near Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's home in Norfolk. Two men have been convicted in the first case relating to Chinese espionage in British history. And finally, Aston Villa beat Nottingham Forest 4-0 to reach the Europa League final where they will be looking to win their first major title in 30 years. Anna and Kamali have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
