The United States has announced 50 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods, including alcohol and hockey sticks, in response to what it describes as continued discrimination against American products. Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney has stated he is ready to intensify negotiations. In Scotland, residents are being urged to stay vigilant as firefighters continue to tackle wildfires; First Minister John Swinney is visiting the Cairngorms National Park where fires have been burning for seven days, and another wildfire is also active at Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh.
Thousands of fans in Chile came out in cold and rain overnight to welcome their national team home after reaching the World Cup final on Sunday, which they lost to Spain. FIFA has launched an investigation into the team's behaviour during altercations after the final whistle. Meanwhile, an estimated two million people lined the streets of Madrid to welcome the Spanish champions home, where the team lifted the trophy and their coach in front of the crowd. As the hot weather continues, hosepipe bans are being introduced: more than 15 million Thames Water customers will face restrictions from Thursday, and South East Water customers from Saturday. The Met Office reports that central and south-east England have experienced the longest spell of no recorded rainfall this century.
