Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
England reached the World Cup quarterfinals by beating Mexico 3-2 in a match that included a red card for England's Kwanzaa, a penalty from Harry Kane, and a late Mexico goal. Fans celebrated through the night, with pubs allowed to open until 5am. The victory sets up a quarterfinal against Norway on Saturday. Separately, controversy arose after Team USA striker Florian Balagan's red card was overturned following a phone call from President Trump to FIFA president Gianni Infantino, allowing him to play against Belgium. UEFA and former FIFA president Sepp Blatter criticised the decision, and a Labour MP has asked for similar treatment for England's Kwanzaa.
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage faces allegations that he did not declare benefits, including security and social media staff, provided by friend George Cottrell, a convicted fraudster. Farage denies wrongdoing and is already under investigation by the parliamentary standards commissioner over a separate gift. Prince Harry's UK visit for Invictus Games events was marked by a dispute over accommodation at Buckingham Palace, with his team missing a deadline to confirm. The King was pictured at a Royal Tank Regiment event, while the Princess of Wales visited a children's hospital and released family photos from her Three Peaks challenge. A new policy was announced giving victims of rape and sexual assault the right to an independent review before the CPS drops a case, following campaigning by survivor Jade Blue.
New figures from Scottish Labour showed ambulance handover delays at hospitals of up to 18 hours, after a woman died following a four-hour wait for an ambulance. Sky agreed to buy ITV's broadcast and streaming division for £1.6 billion, a deal that could create the UK's largest commercial broadcaster but will face regulatory scrutiny. Weight loss pills containing the drug Wegovy became available on the high street and online, with pharmacists warning about risks and counterfeit versions. Other news included a Russian patrol plane intercepted by UK jets, an arsonist jailed for 25 years for murder, and a large funeral in Iran for the former Supreme Leader.

The commitment to that kind of quality programming continues But how we consume it will change You might have a series that begins Quite rightly debuts free to air on ITV or ITVX And then perhaps if you want to see the first episode of series two Once you're hooked you might find that that lives on a subscription Sky channel So it will make sense
