Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
FIFA has scrapped plans to sell stakes in a company that would have run its major competitions including the World Cup, after President Gianni Infantino announced a U-turn following rejection by three continental confederations. UEFA, which had threatened a boycott, says it has lost confidence in Infantino's leadership, with calls growing for him to resign. At least 67 people have died after a mass crossing of around 60,000 migrants from Morocco into Spain's Northern African territory of Ceuta; Spain is installing a 500-metre containment barrier on the sea border and has condemned what it calls the selfish and unlawful reaction of some EU countries after Italy temporarily suspended the Schengen arrangement with Spain, while the majority of crossers have already returned to Morocco. At least nine people have been killed and 28 injured in Russian ballistic missile strikes on Kiev, an attack coming two days after a suspected Russian cruise missile landed in Poland, and President Zelensky says missile interceptors are urgently needed.
In the race for Greater Manchester mayor, Labour's Bev Craig has been elected with more than 309,000 votes, beating Reform UK's Sian Astley into second place. From today, children in England can travel for free on most local buses throughout August as part of the government's Great British Summer Savings Scheme, which also includes VAT cuts on children's meals, cinema tickets, and family attractions, and was introduced by former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. The prince and princess of Wales have been joined by all three of their children at the penultimate day of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, where they watched England lose to New Zealand in the netball semifinal; gold medals for the home nations today included England's Ethan Nairn in judo, Wales' Anna Morris in cycling, Scotland's Neil Fachie and his pilot Aaron Pope in the men's tandem, and Northern Ireland's John McConnell in boxing.
